In response to the court’s subsequent question, “What is the purpose of denying assault and threats in order to retaliate?” Oh Jae-won’s lawyer denied it, saying, “There was no fact of assault or threats.”

Last month, an official from the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) said, “After an internal investigation, the Doosan Club voluntarily reported eight players to the KBO for prescribing sleeping pills. Since the investigation is still ongoing, it will be necessary let’s wait and see.”
