The twin sisters, who were permanently disqualified from the national team in February this year after being caught up in a school violence controversy, agreed to a contract with a Greek club PAOK Thessaloniki in cooperation with a key agency when Heungkuk Life was withheld from their roster.

In addition, as she was about to leave the country, Da-young Lee, along with the fact that she was married, got into a series of accusations for divorce with her husband and a controversy over abusive language.

Meanwhile, the Dodram V-League Women’s Media Day was held at the Rivera Hotel in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the same day.

As Heungkuk Life Insurance was also summoned every time the twin sister controversy broke out, coach Park Mi-hee said about the future direction of the team, “As you know, many players are missing, and time is the most important part for us. It’s time to prepare for the season, so I personally hope that the focus will be on the current squad.”

“When the season starts, won’t interest in each of our players increase? I hope it will be like that,” he said, expressing his hopes, saying, “I don’t think my life or other leaders will ever face this kind of situation. The other players held up well.”
