The final of the handball women’s high school team at the National Sports Festival held two weeks ago.

With about 3 minutes left, the Chungbuk representative Ilshin Girls’ High School player, who is two points ahead, will be sent off for two minutes.

The reason is ‘Hollywood action’…

But suddenly the supervisor called the referee…

Ilshin Girls’ High School bench protested and sent off one more person with 2 cumulative warnings.

The exit didn’t stop there.

Two minutes and seven seconds before the end, overtaken by one goal difference.

Another player was sent off for 2 minutes due to the delay in the match, and Ilshin Girls’ High School suddenly left only 4 players, and in the end they lost the championship by one point.

Ilshin Girls’ High School posted a petition to the Blue House two days ago asking for clarification on the suspicion of bias, and more than 1,000 people have agreed to the petition so far.

“If you get another warning, you know that you are sent off, so it’s not a protest. So all of a sudden the supervisor told me to leave…”

The Handball Association, which said that the judgment was not a reason for an appeal despite the unusual situation of 4 people fighting 7 people, changed its attitude and started a re-investigation when the complaint was received through the Korea Sports Council.

“Students are the only ones seeing the damage. It’s not like they want to punish someone and change the past wins and losses.”

In the midst of growing controversy as the head coach of the Gangwon representative, Hwang Jijeongsan High School, who was the opponent, is currently the vice president of the Handball Association, Hwangjijeongsan High School and Ilshin Girls’ High School clashed in the finals of the National Sports Festival for four years in a row, and Hwangjijeongsan High School won the championship four times.
