Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop/Photo = News 1 Former national baseball player Oh Jae-won, in charge of the Doosan Bears, was in charge of the Doosan Bears for threatening the younger players of the Doosan Bears, a professional baseball team from the he was the captain, and asking about the ‘illegal act’ of getting prescriptions for sleep inducing drugs on his behalf, coach Lee Seung-yeop apologized as ‘a senior in the baseball world.’

Coach Lee faced reporters at the Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd and said, “It is very unfortunate that something like this happened in the baseball world. It is the fault of senior people in the baseball world, including me. I’m not ashamed to look at my younger children.” The previous day, the Doosan Bears announced, “Through the club’s own investigation, we confirmed that eight of our players had received prescriptions for sleeping pills from Oh Jae-won in the past,” and added, “We report this fact immediately to the KBO Clean Baseball Center.”

On the 17th, Oh Jae-won was arrested and indicted on charges of violating the Narcotic Drug Control Act (relaxation), violating the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes Act (threats of retaliation, etc.), which breaking the Resident Registration Act, and damaging special property.

Jaewon Oh is accused of administering Philopon a total of 11 times between November 2022 and November last year, and storing approximately 0.4g of Philopon in a fire hydrant in the hallway of an acquaintance’s flat in April last year. In addition, from January last year to March this year, he received 2,242 tablets of the psychotropic drug ‘Stilnox’ (a sleep inducing agent containing zolpidem) from 9 acquaintances on a total of 89 occasions, and stole 20 tablets of Stilnox using an identifying name There are also suspicions of bribery. After the controversy over Oh Jae-won arose, the club apparently carried out its own investigation at the end of March and discovered the relevant facts. The team said that the players who were given prescriptions on behalf of Oh Jae-won under pressure are also faithfully participating in the police investigation. In addition, if the players are converted into suspects and investigated, they will be removed from the access list and will not be able to play in the game.

It is known that most of the players threatened by Jaewon Oh were second team players who had hoped to join the first team. It was found that there were no first team starters. In May last year, he said of senior senior Park Chan-ho, “More than one player has come out from time to time to make a fool of me when giving commentary,” and unlike the way he took care. of his liver, he said, “(If you don’t get sleeping pills), I will stab you with a knife,” and “I will break your arm.” He revealed, causing shock. The coaches weren’t good at it either,” he said. “I was worried that my career as a player would be affected if I looked at it for no reason.” He also admitted that there was physical violence, saying, “When I refused, he was called aside and hit on the shoes two or three times. He tapped my cheek and said, ‘Do your best.'” Content of conversation Oh Jae-won with his younger Park Geon-woo, who revealed directly on his Instagram, is also re-examined. Park Geon-woo joined the Doosan Bears in 2009, and shared the Korea Series championship moments with Oh Jae-won in 2015, 2016, and 2019. He has been playing for the NC Dinos since 2022.

Before this conversation, Oh Jae-won came to Park Geon-woo’s Instagram and left a comment asking, “Are you a wanjong?” to which Park Geon-woo responded, “Bro, why are you coming to my Instagram (Gram) ? I think you are the main wanjong.” Send a message. Oh Jae-won got angry and said, “You’re crazy. You called your superior a wanjong. Your brain is rotten.” Park Geon-woo responded, “I think I can tell that to my brother. I’m turning 30 next year.”

However, as Oh Jae-won’s sarcasm continued, Park Geon-woo said, “I don’t understand why you’re doing that,” to which Oh Jae-won replied, “Yeah, don’t understand. It’s waste of time .” In response, Park Geon-woo said, “Hey, captain,” and asked, “I’m sorry. Please don’t touch (Kim) Jae-hwan and (O) Jae-il.” However, Oh Jae-won won directly and published this conversation on his Instagram and posted, “I’m really mad. Tomorrow, Kim Jae-hwan, Yang Eui-ji, and Oh Jae-il dying. Why don’t you educate your children?”
