Meanwhile, Lee Hae-in, who was recently suspended for three years on charges of sexual harassment, is also scheduled to appear at this tournament.
Lee Hae-in was severely punished by the Ice Skating Federation with a three-year suspension for drinking and sexual harassment during an overseas training camp last May.
Lee Hae-in reflected on and regretted the fact that she had been drinking, but denied the charges of sexual harassment, so she applied to the court for a provisional injunction to suspend the disciplinary action, which the court accepted.
Following the court’s decision, Lee Hae-in’s player status was temporarily restored. This is the first time Lee Hae-in, who is seeking a comeback, is officially on the ice since the controversy over sexual harassment allegations.
