K League 1 Seoul, Contract with Hwang Hyun-soo, ‘Drunk Driving’, Terminates League “60-day suspension of activities”
He was recently caught drunk driving and was investigated by the police. Hwang Hyun-soo , who hid it from the club, said, “I should not have done anything. I will take heavy responsibility.”
Professional soccer team K League 1 FC Seoul recently terminated its contract with central defender Hwang Hyun-soo (28), who concealed the fact that he was being investigated by the police after being caught drunk driving. On the
25th, Seoul announced through the club’s social network service (SNS), “After confirming the fact that Hwang Hyun-soo was drunk driving, we immediately notified the Korea Professional Football Federation and requested that they proceed with the relevant procedures in accordance with K League regulations.” They added,
“Separately from this, Seoul decided to terminate Hwang Hyun-soo’s contract because not only did Hwang not immediately report the drunk driving to the club, but also he caused damage to the team at a critical time and took into account the seriousness of the situation, which requires severe punishment socially.”
On this day, the league imposed a 60-day suspension on Hwang Hyun-soo, banning him from official
K-League matches. A ‘suspension’ is a temporary measure to suspend the subject’s K-League-related activities for 60 days (extensible up to 90 days) in cases where it is difficult to conduct a disciplinary committee review of misconduct that causes social controversy or damages the value of the K-League within a short period of time. 슬롯사이트
The league plans to hold a disciplinary committee later to impose formal disciplinary action.
Hwang Hyun-soo was recently caught for drunk driving and was investigated by the police, but he did not inform the club and participated in training normally. After the club learned of the fact, they asked Hwang Hyun-soo the day before, and he belatedly admitted to being caught for drunk driving. The club promised, “Seoul feels responsible for the unfortunate incident that occurred at an important time, and we will prepare all possible preventive measures to prevent recurrence in the future and do our utmost to thoroughly manage all members of the club.” Hwang Hyun-soo also wrote on his SNS, “I think I have disappointed many people by writing about something like this that should not have happened. He wrote, “I deeply regret and reflect on my actions that lowered team morale and the team’s image,” and “As a soccer player and a person who receives public attention, I acted irresponsibly and should not have acted, and I believe that no words can be forgiven. I will take full responsibility for this unfortunate incident.” Hwang Hyun-soo, who joined Seoul in 2014, has played as a starting defender since the 2017 season, recording 9 goals and 3 assists in 141 K-League games. He gradually began to have opportunities to play starting in the 2022 season, and has only played in 3 league games in the 2024 season. As a representative for his age group, he won a gold medal at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games. This is not the first time that drunk driving has occurred in the K-League. In 2022, Japanese midfielder Kunimoto, who played for Jeonbuk Hyundai, had his contract terminated due to drunk driving, and last season, FC Anyang’s Jonathan Moya and Suwon FC’s Las left the K-League due to drunk driving controversies. 토토사이트
