Introduction
Lawyer Analyzes the Motive Behind Lee Da-young’s Apology Request
Lee Da-young, a 27-year-old volleyball player from Bolero Le Canet, recently made headlines after she publicly called for an apology from Kim Yeon-kyung, a 35-year-old player from Heungkuk Life Insurance, alleging repeated sexual harassment and abuse of power. Lawyer Jang Yu-mi, who appeared on the current affairs program Powerful Team 4, suggested that Lee’s intention might be to garner public support. Jang expressed that if an apology is issued, Lee would maintain confidentiality. He further implied that the ball is now in Kim’s court.
Lee Da-young’s Allegations and Request for Apology
On her Instagram account, Lee Da-young shared a photo of herself with Kim Yeon-kyung, taken during their time playing for the national team. In the caption, Lee acknowledged the instances of sexual harassment, bullying, workplace violence, and abuse of power she claims took place at Heungkuk Life Insurance. She demanded an official apology, stating that if Kim issues this apology, Lee would forever keep hidden any undisclosed information.
Expert Opinion on Apology Request
Attorney Jang emphasized that defamatory exposure is unwarranted and that an apology cannot be compelled as it is a matter of personal conscience. While Lee Da-young’s actions are seen as a strategic move to pressure Kim into apologizing, Attorney Jang suggested that the core motivation behind these allegations is to justify the revelations made about Kim Yeon-kyung.
Legal Implications
Attorney Kim Min-ho, appearing alongside Attorney Jang on the program, explained that the Communications Secret Protection Act imposes punishment when someone discloses the contents of another person’s chat. However, the party involved in the conversation can escape punishment if they have confidence in the content. However, additional defamation committed alongside the disclosure may lead to harsher penalties. Lawyer Park Seon-jeong from Shincheon Law Firm noted that Lee Da-young’s request for an apology could potentially establish a crime of intimidation or coercion.
Response from Kim Yeon-kyung
Kim Yeon-kyung has remained silent on the allegations, but her agency has stated that they will take legal action against any malicious press releases or comments.
