Hanwha-Kiwoom Players and 8 Others Referred for Police Investigation

Gangnam-gu, False Statements Including Avoiding Movement During Epidemiological Investigation Period... Also Includes One Newly Identified Civilian

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) requested additional investigation by Gangnam Police Station on the 20th for a total of eight individuals, including five current and former players from Hanwha Eagles and Kiwoom Heroes who violated quarantine rules and falsely reported their movement paths, as well as a general confirmed case C who was revealed during the epidemiological investigation, for violations of the "Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act" such as "omission of movement paths."

The district reported that players classified as "self-quarantined" avoided accurate statements or omitted their movement paths during testimonies related to the "ban on gatherings of five or more" after the 16th, and in the case of a Kiwoom player included in the Tokyo Olympics roster, they also obstructed the epidemiological investigation, leading to the request for investigation.

Additionally, the district requested investigation on general confirmed cases A and B, who were diagnosed positive on the 8th, for the same reasons. During the additional epidemiological investigation, it was confirmed that C omitted the fact that they had contact with these five individuals during their own epidemiological investigation, and the related information was forwarded to the police.

Meanwhile, Gangnam District Office had previously requested police investigation after identifying on the 14th that three NC Dinos players and two general individuals concealed their movement paths during epidemiological investigations.
