[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] Ki Sung-yong (32, FC Seoul), a former national soccer team player accused of sexual assault in the past, is set to undergo a confrontation investigation with the accusers who raised the allegations.

According to the police on the 17th, the Seoul Seocho Police Station will conduct a confrontation investigation this afternoon between Ki and Mr. A, who filed a defamation complaint against him. This meeting comes about nine months after Ki filed a complaint against two accusers who raised sexual assault allegations against him.

A police official stated, "We cannot confirm the schedule for the confrontation investigation," but added, "Ki's investigation is scheduled for this afternoon."

Earlier in February, Mr. A and another person revealed that they were sexually assaulted by seniors Ki Sung-yong and Mr. B from January to June 2000 while playing on a soccer team at an elementary school in Jeonnam.

In response, Ki Sung-yong filed a defamation complaint against them with the police in March and also filed a lawsuit seeking 500 million won in damages.

When Ki appeared at the police station for the complainant investigation in March, he reportedly said, "I believe in the power of truth," focusing on presenting circumstances that prove the allegations against him are false.
