Pepper Savings Bank's B and C were reportedly bullied by A, a senior player in the same team, last year to the extent that they could not continue their careers in the team. Pepper Savings Bank found out that A had inappropriate behavior and reported the information directly to the grievance center of the Volleyball Federation through a follow-up investigation. After receiving the information, the federation decided to hold a reward and punishment committee on A.
The federation held a reward and punishment committee for the human rights violation of Pepper Savings Bank player A in the conference room of the federation on Sunday morning, and gave opportunities to explain to A and players who claim damages. On the day, A and some of the victims attended the meeting in person and gave them a chance to explain.
However, it could not immediately reach a conclusion. "The committee carefully reviewed the matter through the materials and explanations submitted by the players, but decided to end today's meeting and resume the committee at 9 a.m. on the 27th to find out more carefully," the federation said.
