"Review of Paejae High School's Suspension"…Korean Sport & Olympic Committee to Present Case to Sports Fairness Committee on the 20th
Decision to Be Made on Bonghwanggi Tournament Participation
The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee has placed the review of the six-month suspension penalty imposed on Paejae High School's baseball team on the agenda of the Sports Fairness Committee on the 20th.
On the 14th, the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee made this decision during the subcommittee meeting of the Fairness Committee, stating, "The Fairness Committee serves as the final arbitrator for disciplinary actions handed down by subsidiary sports organizations and will reach a conclusion on the day of the review."
The result of the review will take effect immediately after the Fairness Committee’s resolution. As a result, whether or not Paejae High School’s baseball team will be allowed to participate in the 54th Bonghwanggi National High School Baseball Tournament will be determined. If the Fairness Committee reduces the suspension to one month or less, the team will be able to compete in the Bonghwanggi tournament.
The Bonghwanggi tournament, which opens on August 6, will be practically the last national competition Paejae High School can enter this year.
Previously, on June 29, several Paejae High School baseball players sparked controversy during the 81st Cheongnyonggi National High School Baseball Championship against Gwangju Jeil High School at Mokdong Stadium in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, by chanting slogans such as "Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go to Starbucks," and "Tank Day" towards the opposing team's dugout.
