Sea's apology through his facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yuambosungjjang/posts/1683014471733272?pnref=story

Translation from Reddit below:
Hi, I'm Sea.

I'm not good at writing long posts so I'm not sure if it'll turn out well, but I ask you to please read on.

I did not harass nor assult the other BJ during the stream. People are taking the specific moments from the broadcast and making me look like I assulted and/or sexually harassed her but that is not the case.

I am close friends with her (the female BJ), and we streamed many times together. The concept of the broadcast, when we streamed, was that I would try to touch her (T/N: word was "skinship", imo aka flirting, but with slight physical contact. Not to be confused with just touching her overly.), she would punch me in response, and that would continue. That was the concept. The said video that's floating around the internet was part of the concept, and it was nothing sexual. In fact, after the article was posted, my friend (the female BJ) messaged me saying that she was worried for me and asked if there's anything she could do to help out.

For the part where I looked like I was "assulting" her, I hit her in the elbow two times, and she threw ice cold water at my face, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was pretty good.

I'm not saying that I did nothing wrong. I did drink a lot, and I did many questionable things on stream that made my viewers feel uncomfortable. However, unlike what the article states, I did not sexually harass or physically assult someone.

My reputation has been really tainted due to this incident, and my family is also having a very hard time due to this.
Today, I met a lawyer and decided to sue the journalists who wrote and posted the article online. I am also planning to sue those who are writing very hateful speech against me online, after I gather some evidence.

There's also some misunderstanding on my Afreeca ban:
I was banned 3 days for throwing up on stream, and 3 days for assulting another BJ on stream. Thus, it came out to be a 1 week ban.

What I think is very unfair, however, is the fact that I was disqualified from ASL Season 4 due to the 1 week ban.
I don't think it was right for me to receive the 3 day ban for fooling around with the regular broadcast concept, hitting the female BJ on the elbow, then considering it as an assult against another BJ. (T/N: He's not claiming that he "hit" her in a sense that he assulted her, but rather it was part of him flirting around/fooling around with her)
I can't understand this at all, and I feel its very unfair that I am forced to give up my ASL spot, possibly my last ASL before I turn 30.

Please do not insult me based on the malicious articles (T/N more like witchhunt) and posts that only contain assumptions and no facts.

Last but not least, if you see any comments or posts heavily insulting me online, trying to defame me for this particular incident, please email me at --- (T/N: Due to some... Not so great conversations happening on TL and other stuff, I'm removing the email on purpose)

Thank you.

Starcraft ex-progamer Mr. Yeom (27) has been under the centre of controversy over a live internet broadcast hitting a female BJ while drinking.

On the 6th, he broadcasted a drinking stream with other BJ's where he appeared to be quite intoxicated.

The problem was that Mr. Yeom had hit the female BJ.

He had raised his hand several times on the shoulder of the BJ where it was evident the woman felt uncomfortable. The BJ also attempted to shrug off Mr. Yeom several times before he hit her.

The woman got upset and left as other BJ's around them began to restrain Mr. Yeom. All of this were broadcast online in real time.

Community response has been one of mostly shock, mostly stemming from the stark contrast of behavior of Mr. Yeom from his professional gaming career to this incident.


Whenever Afreeca releases a statement regarding his DQ then I'll translate that as well, but if Larva/Bisu/Light are confirming it themselves on stream (who are part of Kongdoo, who run the ASL), then I'm sure that's pretty credible evidence.

EDIT: Afreeca's landing page for ASL Season 4 now has Sea replaced by Killer in all graphics.

wow if that's him in the picture... the way he's treating that girl? i don't want to badmouth ANYONE before there's explicit evidence, but it sure looks bad. Can somebody translate please and provide additional background info?

Then even if he had a "drunken rampage" perhaps he just tried to flirt with her and wasn't sure how to do it right. I don't wanna speculate here. This could be big drama.

Looks like very unacceptable behaviour. If that is him the ban if justified for sure.

It says she cussed him out and stormed out (And he started doing that because she was blocking his advances) so nobody should assume he was just being playful/it was just a misunderstanding.

Not saying anyone here is, just reading from the page.

Edit: he started cussing her to the other guy, I should really read through this properly before posting x)

Uhh, okay well more specifically with the advances thing it seems to be just what netizens are saying but it seems pretty clear from the images... right?

Hopefully I'm not making it sound worse than it is x)

IIRC last night sea had some bj's over at his house (both male and female) and was teaching the male guys how to play starcraft
then they went out and.... i guess this is the result of it.

Saw the gifs of this. He was flirting and she didn't want any of it so he hit her, it didn't look like it was hard or deliberate to harm, but still he shouldn't have done it. The ban is justified definitely, but losing him in SSL is a huge blow for him.

Maybe he should think before he drinks next time.
