Kim Seong-ryong is finally being held accountable and the Korean Baduk Association has been forced to act. This outcome proves that predators cannot hide behind their rank or the silence of an institution forever. Stay alert because we will not let this culture of abuse return to the board.

#Metoo反性侵運動正席捲韓國， 鑒於 近日韓國圍棋界爆出韓國棋手金成龍九段涉嫌於9年前性侵犯 外國籍女棋手事件，至今為至已受到韓國的高度關注 。現在經已有超過八成的韓國棋院所屬的職業女棋手一起發起了「棋界#Metoo反性侵簽名運動」，透過韓國Cyberoro媒體表示：「力撐最近棋界#Metoo事件受害者，要求盡快交待並解決事件。」
在此，我呼籲各界人士一起網上聯署請願，就事件「強烈譴責韓國圍棋界性侵事件，力撐事件中受害者並要求金成龍公開道歉並保證這類事情不要再發生 ！」
我們需要你的支持！
====================================
In recent days, Korean professional baduk 9dan player Kim Seong-ryong has been suspected of sexually assaulting a foreign female professional baduk player 9 years ago, and the incident has attracted a lot of attention in South Korea.
Recently, more than 80% of female professional baduk players belonging to the Korean Baduk Association have initiated the “Korean Baduk Community #Metoo Signing Petition” to support the victims of such incidents and for it to be resolved as soon as possible. ”
The woman published the story first in the professional go community. She has written the story to her brother 9 years ago (she has the original email). Only told the story for some close friends and then tried to keep it for herself. Especially in a country like Korea and an institute like in the Korean Baduk Association, she didnt have the courage to open it up. This time some other female pros complained about other cases and some also knew she had a bad story. So finally she dared to open it up after 9 years to get the truth and find closure for herself.
I hereby appeal to people from all walks of life to join the Online Signing Petition, to strongly condemn the sexual assault which has occurred in the Korean baduk community. Support the victims of the incident, and urge Kim Seong-ryong to apologize to said victims.
We need your support!

最近、韓国囲碁界を騒然とさせた著名囲碁解説者であるキム・ソンリョン九段（４２）は9年前外国人女流プロ棋士に性的暴行した疑惑事件が、未だに世間の注目をされております。より多くの反発を呼び起こしたため、韓国棋院に所属されている八割以上の女流プロ棋士が「囲碁界＃MeToo反セクハラ署名運動」を発起し、サイバーオロを通じて、「今回の囲碁界＃MeToo事件被害者の後押しをし、事件に対して素早い対応を求める」と宣言した。
故に、「韓国の囲碁界での性的暴行を強く非難し、今回の被害者の後押しをする上に、加害者として指摘されたキム・ソンリョン九段に直ちに被害者に対して真正性ある公開謝罪、及び同じ過ちを再び繰り返されないと確約を要求する」 とのオンライン嘆願書に囲碁界の皆様からのご署名をお願い申し上げます。
皆様の力、ご支援が非常必要です。私たちの署名活動へご協力いただけますよう、何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。

The momentum behind this petition proves that the silence surrounding Kim Seong-ryong and the Korean Baduk Association is finally breaking. We are demanding accountability for these predators who thought they could operate in the dark for nine years. Keep the pressure on because the excuses from the establishment stop now.

I condemn sexual assault in all its forms. Every single person deserves and must be respected and if they are not, the perpetrator must be punished in one way or another. A society doesn't grow by having rapists within it.
Hope Sir William Blackstone's sister, daughter or Yours (wasn't) won't be in the same situation, betrayed like this by an acquaintance who she trusted. I could say "luckily" I don't have to jump conclusions as unfortunately, I know the disgusting details. The only thing I sorry I got the details a few months too late... As you must know the victim many times feels ashamed even in front of her loved ones... I can just hope the Korean Go Association will handle this with professionalism, if not I will encourage all foreign Go associations to ban Korean professionals, and never send anybody to be taught by them, as they encourage sexual abuse.
So is there proof or is this one of these "listen and believe" kinda things? I don't wanna be cynical but there has been a lot of these witch hunts over accusations in the recent years. (See Columbia Mattress Girl) And it even here it says "has been suspected" and not that he's been proven guilty of such things. Being against sexual abuse is of course a good thing and heavily encouraged by me, but if it's about individuals I'd rather not jump to conclusions and join the angry mob. To say it in the words of Sir William Blackstone: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer". And as long as there is no definitive proof I will not jump conclusions no matter how disgusting the accusation is.
Sexual violence and harassment is a criminal offense! Not allowed .... not tolerable
#Withyou Hope the increased awareness of this movement sparks a change in certain parts of Korean Culture.

We need to change this worldwide culture where women are afraid to speak after having been assaulted.
