The first injured on the Chinese border
On the 6th, Brion Company, Lim Hyo-jun’s agency, issued an admission statement and reported Lim Hyo-jun’s decision to naturalize China. Brion Company explained the reason for his choice which was due to difficulties and regrets that Im Hyo-jun could not continue his life as a gamer at a time when Hyo-jun Lim still plays for a long time.
He then explained that Hyo-jun Lim had a difficult time due to the sexual harassment case, and that he went two years without working with his team and the national team at all.
Lim Hyo-jun, who was active as an ace for the Korean short track team, was born in 1996 and was born in Daegu. After passing Gyeseong Elementary School and Kyungshin High School in Daegu, he graduated from Oryun High School and Northeast High School in Seoul, and entered Korea Sports University. He won the gold medal in the men’s 1500m short track at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and the bronze medal in the 500m.
However, Lim Hyo-jun exposed part of his body in front of other players by pulling the pants of a junior male athlete during climbing training at Jincheon Athlete Village in June 2019. The male athlete reported Lim Hyo- Jun as sexual harassment of the Athletes’ Village and the Korea Sports Association.
Consequently, the Ice Skating Federation imposed a one-year qualification suspension on Lim Hyo-jun. The disciplinary action ended when the request for reconsideration filed with the Sports Fair Committee of the Korea Sports Association was dismissed.
In November 2019, Lim Hyo-jun filed a lawsuit against the Ice Skating Federation in a request for a temporary injunction and confirmation of disciplinary override with the court.
The court sentenced Im Hyo-jun, accused of harassment, to a fine at the first trial in May 2020, but he was acquitted at the second trial in November of the same year.
At that time, the Court of Appeals explained that “the victim struck the athlete’s butt against the rock wall with a fist, and the athlete responded to the joke.”
He added: “It is suspicious that the victim objectively raises shame or sexual disgust by pulling the shorts, apart from the joke the victim tried on the athlete, and contradicts the good moral notion.”
The Court of Appeals found that “the defendant saw the victim playing with a sportswoman, and it appears that the shorts were removed for similar reasons, but the behavior appears insufficient to admit sexual desire, sexual purpose and harassment intentions.”
Lim Hyo-jun is currently awaiting the Supreme Court ruling.
Meanwhile, with the naturalization of Lim Hyo-jun in China, the Chinese short-track team is predicted to be the number one target of the Korean short-track team. Coach Kim Sun-tae, who was in charge of the Korean national short-track team at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, is currently in charge of the Chinese national team. As the coach, there is Viktor An, a Russian national who was a star on the Korean short circuit.
