Professional football player Cheon Seong-hoon (24, Daejeon) has become embroiled in a personal scandal.
Cheon Seong-hoon, who is affiliated with Daejeon Hana Citizen, has been booked by the police on charges related to sexual assault, rape, and sexual violence crimes and has been investigated at the Gangnam Police Station.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Cheon Seong-hoon's side has filed a counterclaim against the victim for false accusation. Cheon Seong-hoon claimed his innocence, stating in a handwritten letter, "There is a person claiming that they have been sexually assaulted by me. However, that is completely untrue."
Rather, Cheon Seong-hoon added that he is a victim of stalking and threats. He said, "I have also filed a lawsuit against the other party for false accusation, attempted blackmail, stalking, and defamation. At the end of December last year, he suddenly threatened to sue me and inform the media, demanding 200 million won."
Since both sides are making opposing claims, the Cheon Seong-hoon issue is expected to be resolved through police investigation and court dispute.
The problem is that the Daejeon club pushed for a trade involving Cheon Seong-hoon and Kim Jin-ya. It has been reported that the trade ultimately fell through, as the results of Cheon Seong-hoon's investigation have not been confirmed.
