“Where does this girl get off acting up?” ... Yonsei graduate accused of assaulting student controlling access at Korea–Yonsei rivalry event

[Financial News] A former executive of the Yonsei Sports Association is now under police investigation for allegedly assaulting a Yonsei University student who was handling access control at the regular rivalry event between Yonsei University and Korea University.
Police said on the 9th that the Seoul Yangcheon Police Station is investigating A, a former executive of the Yonsei Sports Association, on suspicion of assault and other offenses.
A is accused of assaulting B, a current Yonsei University student, during the Yonsei University–Korea University rivalry event held on the 3rd of last month at Mokdong Sports Complex in Seoul’s Yangcheon District. Rugby and soccer matches between the two universities were held at the event.
B, a work-study student at Yonsei University, was managing the safety cordon around the seats reserved for the university’s academic affairs committee members that day, following instructions from the university’s Office of General Affairs. B was telling people that only those with passes could enter the restricted area.
A, who was trying to enter the area without a pass, reportedly caused a disturbance, including tearing the tape marking the restricted area, when B stopped A. During the incident, A reportedly shouted at B, “Do you know who I am? I’m an alumni executive with the Yonsei Sports Association,” and, “Where does this girl get off acting up?”
A is a former executive of the Yonsei Sports Association and is reportedly still active in the organization. A’s side is reportedly preparing to file a counter-complaint against B.
A police official said, “We are currently investigating based on the victim’s statement and related materials.”
Meanwhile, the Yonsei Sports Association was founded in 1946 by former players of the regular rivalry event’s sports: soccer, basketball, baseball, ice hockey and rugby. It now has 17 affiliated organizations, including the cheerleading squad, tennis, rowing, taekwondo, kendo and lacrosse, and operates with around 3,000 members.
