A former coach of a women's professional volleyball club is under investigation by the Korea Sport Ethics Center (K-SEC) after a report that the coach engaged in inappropriate conduct at a team dinner.
According to the volleyball community on the 15th, former coach B, who worked for club A, allegedly engaged in behavior toward a player during a team dinner in Jan. that could cause sexual humiliation.
The player later raised the issue with the club, and the side of the player who suffered harm also reported the matter to the Korea Sport Ethics Center (K-SEC). After the incident came to light, former coach B expressed an intention to resign to the club and stepped down.
Club A reported the matter to the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) in May.
KOVO plans to proceed with follow-up steps after confirming the Korea Sport Ethics Center (K-SEC)'s investigation results.
Club A recently carried out internal personnel changes, including replacing the Director General, but said they are unrelated to the allegation.
