[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] Shin Dong-su (19), a 2020 rookie infielder for the Samsung Lions who caused a scandal by leaking 'offensive remarks' on SNS, will be referred to the team's disciplinary committee.

On the 5th, the Samsung team announced, "We have decided to hold Shin Dong-su's disciplinary committee on the 7th."

Earlier, on the 4th, Shin Dong-su's private SNS account was revealed on a baseball community, sparking controversy. The exposed SNS contained expressions that were unacceptable to the general public.

Shin Dong-su posted insulting remarks belittling Samsung team coaches and seniors, seniors from other teams, game supervisors, and umpires.

Moreover, posts containing derogatory comments about disabled people and sexual harassment of minors were found, and it was revealed that photos secretly taken of medical staff and ordinary people were also uploaded, causing further controversy.

In addition, he insulted citizens fighting against the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and staff who worked hard to operate the league despite COVID-19. In particular, he uploaded text messages requesting self-checks from the KBO and uttered curses, and also posted derogatory remarks calling Daegu, his hometown, the "Corona Country."

After the shocking SNS posts were made public online, Shin quickly deleted the account, but it seems unlikely he will avoid disciplinary action.

Netizens responded with comments such as "He crossed the line severely. He committed unforgivable acts." and "Secret filming, hate speech, and sexual harassment?this is really serious."
