South Korean soccer player Hwang Eui-jo dismissed allegations of a financial dispute and an affair with his brother-in-law, who was sent to jail on Wednesday for allegedly distributing a video of his private life, saying, "My brother and brother-in-law are people who have no motive to slander (Hwang)."
"My brother and brother-in-law have been living together in a foreign country for the past five years and have been supporting me in all aspects of my life, including meals and other daily activities," said the statement issued by Hwang's legal representative, Law Firm Daehwan. "All of Hwang's income is managed by his parents, so it is clear that the allegations of financial disputes between the brothers and an affair with his brother-in-law are completely untrue."
"Huang and his family believe in his brother's innocence, and they remain committed to him, so we ask that people refrain from making assumptions until the verdict is handed down, as it was his brother and sister-in-law who initiated the charges against Huang for distributing the video."
As for the dissemination of the allegedly illegally filmed video, he raised the suspicion of hacking once more. "The man who impersonated my ex-lover expressed his willingness to serve a sentence," Hwang said. "We are suspicious of the possibility that the video distribution and threats are not the work of the same person, but of professional and organized people." 카지노
"It is somewhat difficult to understand that the crime was committed in Korea through a cell phone that was temporarily used as a promotion for a foreign local telecommunications company and then discontinued," he said, adding, "We will make a sincere plea in the formal (investigation) process."
Earlier, Hwang's brother-in-law, A.J., was sent to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on Feb. 22 on suspicion of threatening Hwang by releasing a video of his private life online (use of video footage under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act and coercion and threats).
In June, Ahn allegedly claimed to have been in a relationship with Hwang and shared photos and videos of Hwang and several women on social networking services (SNS). It was confirmed that Ahn had been accompanying Hwang and acting as his manager.
During the investigation, Ahn denied the allegations, citing the possibility of hacking, but the police determined that it was unlikely, saying that there was no record of external intrusion.
