[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Ki Sung-yueng (FC Seoul, 32), who filed a criminal complaint for defamation and other charges against those who raised allegations of sexual violence against juniors during his elementary school years, appeared at the police station on the 17th.

At around 12:10 PM that day, Ki Sung-yueng appeared at the Seoul Seocho Police Station to undergo a confrontation investigation with the accusers. When asked by reporters, "How do you plan to respond to the investigation?" he avoided a direct answer, saying, "I will tell you later."

This is Ki Sung-yueng's second appearance at the police station, following his first in March.

It was also confirmed that two accusers appeared at the police station that day. This is the first time both sides are undergoing a confrontation investigation.

Earlier in February, Mr. A and Mr. B claimed that from January to June 2000, while they were in the soccer club at an elementary school in Jeonnam, they were sexually assaulted by senior player C and Mr. D. Although Ki Sung-yueng's name was not mentioned, it was inferred from the content that player C was Ki Sung-yueng.

Ki Sung-yueng's side asserted his innocence and simultaneously filed a criminal complaint and a 500 million won civil damages lawsuit against the accusers in March.

At that time, Ki Sung-yueng's side demanded that Mr. A and Mr. B disclose evidence, and Mr. A and Mr. B stated that if Ki Sung-yueng filed a lawsuit, they would disclose evidence in court, claiming, "We were subjected to persuasion and threats from Ki Sung-yueng's side to keep this incident quiet."

At around 12:48 PM that day, Park Ji-hoon, the legal representative of the accusers, who arrived at Seocho Police Station, said, "I believe everything will be revealed truthfully."

When asked why they are not disclosing evidence, he replied, "It cannot be disclosed to the public," adding, "We have submitted various evidence materials to the investigative authorities and have additional evidence to submit."
