After the Chinese side announced that Sun Junhao was detained on suspicion of bribery of non-state officials, South Korean media sources said that the Korean Football Association is also currently following the matter and sent letters to the AFC and the Chinese Football Association, hoping to know the details of the matter. In addition, the Korean Football Association hopes to communicate with the Chinese Football Association, but because the senior management of the Chinese Football Association was investigated, the communication was not smooth.
After the South Korean side determined that Sun Junhao was taken away by the relevant departments in Liaoning, the Korean media also began to pay intensive attention to Sun Junhao's situation. At the Foreign Ministry press conference on the 16th, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin officially confirmed that a South Korean citizen was recently criminally detained by relevant departments in Liaoning on suspicion of bribery of non-state workers.
It is worth mentioning that after confirming that Sun Junhao was taken away from the South Korean side, he tried to help Sun Junhao, hoping to meet with Son Junhao. The latest news shows that relevant South Korean departments can meet Sun Junhao in Shenyang on the 17th to understand the situation and provide necessary help for Sun Junhao.
The South Korean Foreign Ministry is also currently communicating with the Chinese side to keep things up to date. According to the official announcement of the Chinese side, Sun Junhao is suspected of bribery of non-state employees, that is, playing match-fixing in layman's terms.
After the Korean Football Association learned of Son Joon-ho's accident, according to South Korean media news, the chairman of the Korean Football Association, Jung Mong-kyu, instructed the relevant departments of the Korean Football Association to communicate with the Chinese Football Association and the AFC, and has issued a document to the AFC and the Chinese Football Association, hoping to understand the truth of the matter.
However, South Korean media reported that due to the investigation of the high-level collective of the Chinese Football Association, including Chen Jiayuan and Du Zhaocai, the Chinese Football Association is currently managed by the State General Administration of Sports, so there are communication barriers.
