According to the volleyball community, Kwak Myung-woo was recently sentenced to six months in prison, one year of suspension, and one year of probation on charges of violating the Communications Secret Protection Act and injury.

Kwak Myung-woo’s conviction also caused problems in the trade between OK Financial Group and Hyundai Capital.

OK Financial Group transferred setter Kwak Myung-woo on the 19th of last month and agreed to a trade with Hyundai Capital Skywalker Cha Young-seok to receive a first-round draft pick for the 2024-2025 season.
Kwak Myung-woo, a graduate of Youngsaeng High School and Sungkyunkwan University, is a veteran player who joined the Rush & Cash Volleyball Team as the first choice in the second round of rookie drafts in the 2013-2014 season. While playing for 10 seasons, he played key roles by leading the team to win the championship title in two consecutive V-League matches in 2014-2015 and OK Financial Group in V-League in 2015-2016. He also had a brief history of carving the national flag in 2016.토토사이트

In particular, he played in 126 sets in 34 games in the V League in the 2023-2024 season, contributing greatly to the OK Financial Group volleyball team’s advance to the championship game and the runner-up through side blocking and stable game management.

KOVO (Korea Volleyball Federation) had not yet disclosed the trade, and OK Financial Group asked KOVO to withdraw the trade disclosure.

Kwak Myung-woo was convicted during the 2023-2024 season. Even after the ruling, Kwak Myung-woo stepped on the court normally. The OK Financial Group club claimed that it was aware of Kwak Myung-woo’s trial after the trade discussion with Hyundai Capital was over.

Along with the withdrawal of the trade, Kwak is expected to face KOVO disciplinary action. Article 10, Paragraph 1 of Chapter 3 of the KOVO’s reward and punishment regulations defines “members who commit acts that damage their dignity due to serious social crimes such as sexual crimes (including sexual harassment), violence, drunk driving, illegal drugs, gambling, match fixing, racism, school violence in the past, human rights violations, etc.” as disciplinary targets.

KOVO and major officials from the men’s team will visit Dubai in the United Arab Emirates on the 14th for a 2024 foreign player tryout. Specific discussions on Kwak Myung-woo are expected to take place after the 14th.
