Director Son Woong-jung and three others, including Son Woong-jung, were ordered to pay a summary fine of 3 million won.

Three people were fined, including Son Heung-min's father Son Woong-jung and his brother Son Heung-yoon, who were summarily charged with child abuse.

The Chuncheon District Court ordered three people, including director Sohn, to pay a fine of 3 million won and complete a 40-hour child abuse treatment program.

The summary order is a procedure in which fines or fines are imposed only on written hearings in cases where the charges are relatively light, and if director Sohn disagrees with it, a formal trial can be requested within seven days.

Earlier, head coach Sohn was briefly indicted on charges of assault, swearing, and corporal punishment against A, who was a youth player at the SON Football Academy he runs, in March during off-season training in Japan and in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province.

Prosecutors have not asked for an order to restrict employment by child-related agencies that could affect the academy's operations.

A, a minor, also stated directly in a police consultation that he wanted to punish coach Son and coaches.

In response, director Sohn acknowledged that there was corporal punishment, but explained, "There was no word or action that did not presuppose love for children."

In connection with the case, the transcript between the father of the victim and Son's lawyer was released, leading to controversy over the settlement of hundreds of millions of won and a dispute over the truth.

Director Sohn deposited a total of 6 million won, 2 million won each, to the court just before the summary indictment, but the victim child refused to receive the deposit.
