[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Seoyoung] Among the twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young, who were effectively expelled from the V-League due to school violence allegations, suspicions related to domestic violence have been raised against player Lee Da-young.


On the 8th, TV Chosun reported that Lee Da-young repeatedly verbally abused her husband Mr. A, whom she married just three months after meeting in 2018. Mr. A described their married life as "hell" and said, "(Lee Da-young) also insulted our family."


Mr. A revealed mobile messenger records containing messages such as "Delete all my photos," "Get a lawyer and file a lawsuit. Otherwise, I'll hire someone to get rid of you," and also shared social media messages including "Get rid of me because I had a heart attack," and "I don't want to live with someone like you. So please just disappear."


Mr. A also explained Lee Da-young's behavior by saying, "I don't really understand. For example, if we agreed to pick me up at the dormitory by 7 o'clock, but I arrived at 7:01, that would trigger (verbal abuse)." He further claimed, "When we were all at home with my parents, (Lee Da-young) came from the kitchen holding a knife and we fought."

Mr. A stated that due to Lee Da-young's verbal abuse, he was diagnosed with depression, panic disorder, and insomnia, and is still undergoing treatment. He also demanded a sincere apology from Lee Da-young's side. It has been revealed that Mr. A and Lee Da-young are negotiating a divorce through lawyers, but Lee Da-young's side has not issued any particular statement at this time.



Meanwhile, the twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young recently announced their transfer to the Greek club PAOK Thessaloniki. After the school violence controversy erupted in February, they admitted to it through a handwritten apology and were indefinitely banned from playing by their team Heungkuk Life and stripped of their national team eligibility by the Volleyball Association as disciplinary actions.
