The 2018 Athlete Village and 2019 World Cup Japan mentioned by Lee Da-young are presumed to refer to the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games and the 2019 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Cup.

According to the manual, workplace sexual harassment refers to acts where an employer, superior, or worker uses their position or work-related circumstances to cause sexual humiliation or disgust to another worker or imposes employment disadvantages as a reason for refusal.

In particular, Lee Da-young also captured and posted examples of sexual behaviors that serve as criteria for judging workplace sexual harassment and the types of harm caused by such harassment.

Physical acts include △ kissing, hugging, touching specific body parts △ forcing massages or caresses, and verbal acts include △ making obscene jokes or lewd and vulgar remarks △ evaluating appearance, making sexual analogies, or mentioning body parts △ asking about sexual relationships or intentionally spreading sexual information. It also includes △ forcing or persuading sexual relations △ forcing someone to sit next to them and pour drinks at gatherings.

Recently, Lee Da-young has continued to expose senior player Kim Yeon-koung. Previously, she claimed, "(Kim Yeon-koung) has always had a foul mouth. Besides ostracism, she treated me like a bar hostess in front of the team," and said, "She insulted me in front of the kids, telling me to 'get out,' to go to Gangnam and sleep around, saying I looked cheap, making things very difficult."

The bad relationship between Lee Da-young and Kim Yeon-koung began in 2020. During the 2020?2021 season, Lee Da-young repeatedly left messages on social media that seemed to complain about Kim Yeon-koung’s power abuse while they were teammates at Heungkuk Life.

However, the backlash turned toward Lee Da-young herself. When the 'power abuse issue' surfaced, victims who had exercised with the twin sisters during elementary and middle school revealed the sisters’ school violence on online communities.

Subsequently, the twin sisters were effectively expelled from the domestic league. Then, on the 5th, before leaving the country after spending the off-season domestically, Lee Da-young claimed about Kim Yeon-koung, "I want to ask why she made things so hard and tormenting back then," and "She never once hit the ball I set while at Heungkuk Life."
