Won, the head of e-sports federation of Korea, issues apology to Jessica and will step down from his position.

Source

I'm not a translator but I'd figured I'd post this here so someone could translate it.
Atleast he's taking responsibility it seems.


Translated from ESFI



This is eSports Federation President Won Jong Wook.

With the short notice I have thought about this event and without any hesitation, I apologize to Team Slayers on how we have behaved. Also the Federation and it's eight team's managers have made bad decisions and that lead to harming Team Slayers and the manager Kim Ga Yeon and for that we apologize. I sincerely ask for forgiveness and I apologize with my head down.

Also I would like to apologize to the many companies involved in e-sports and I apologize the fans who have cheered us on and trusted us, I am sorry to have disappointed you. With this I bow down to you and ask for forgiveness.

I am taking this time to say that I will be resigning from this position and I am full aware of what has happened. I want to apologize to all the people who have helped us and loved us before, even the fans, and I also want to thank you for all your previous support.

eSports Federation is looking back at what it has done and full regret it and we will work harder to prevent this kind of event in the future. If we make any sort of mistakes in the future please let us know of our wrong doings.

Lastly I want say that I am truly sorry to Team Slayers and its players.

Won Jong Wook, Kang Dong Hoon, Choi Yoon Sang, Park Wae Shik, Lee Hyung Sub.


Translation by Min Soo Park


Sad to see him go but seems like the right decision considering all the drama lately.

People could actually make a documentary out of this. I find this all a little heartbreaking honestly.

Seems like something that could have been addressed before Slayers was destroyed completely :/
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Jessica-haters proven wrong. I knew it. Good for Boxer and Jessica, justice prevails.

I bet all the people who made their minds up about who was at fault for the drama already, probably feel quite silly.

Hopefully people will learn to reserve an opinion until all the facts are out, and it seems like there are a lot more facts to come. Especially with the MMA / Crank interviews slated to be released soon.

Man these guys always have elegance. Recognise your bad moves, and step down. If only we had more of this in Politics

haha you don't know how this world works, do you? He stepped down, because of the pressure that ignorant fans put on him, believing everything they are said first without thinking "what?" and "why?". He is a scapegoat to calm down the athmosphere, nothing more nothing less. This proves nothing, especially not justice. But yeah, live on in your shiny world of good and bad!

Mr Won basically admitted to everything Jessica said, but good job admitting his mistakes.

I have always been an MMA can even when he was Jjobs, but I'm 100% sure his side of the story was similar to Alicia's, pure speculation though.
