Hanwha Life Esports jungler Kim “Moojin” Moo-jin has been fined 15 million Korean won (about $12,800 USD) and instructed to complete 48 hours of community service by the team after he was caught sending violent threats toward female fans, according to an Inven Global report.
In his messages, Moojin contacted and tried to meet with underaged fans, shared internal team information, and joked about “date violence,” according to translations by Korean reporter Gatamchun.
One of the women revealed a message Moojin sent her, which said, “I’ll kill you. Rip your hair. You know what “date violence” is right? I heard it happens a lot in Busan. Wanna have it happen in Guri?”
Another set of screenshots Gatamchun translated even showed Moojin admit to having a record of violence toward women. The message said, “Shall I? I’m just gonna take you by the collar and beat you up. You know what date violence is, right? I have a record of that.”
Since then, Moojin has issued a hand-written apology letter on Hanwha Life Esports’ Facebook page, but many other people are hoping the team issues a harsher punishment to the 21-year-old jungler.
