The Report on Human Rights Situation in the Republic of Korea C) Need to Improve the Culture Within the Daily Life of the Sports Community It is important to note that the internalization of these levels of violent control can be the start of other violent acts. According to a survey conducted by the NHRCK,33) when the college athletes violate or deny the ‘violent control’ shared within the group, they experienced the ‘discipline’ of assembly, prohibition on going out, physical and verbal abuse, etc. Moreover, the athletes did not recognize the seriousness of the ‘discipline,’ as well as the violent control, or thought of them as ‘tradition, rule and regulation,’ and not as a problem. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) regulates hazing systematically. In the US, hazing is not only recognized as systematic problems of each sports department at high schools and universities, but also problems for the association of education departments and sports teams, as well as related sports associations. Many lawsuits have been filed against the perpetrator students, coaches, head of school, supervising authorities, etc., and in many cases, the liabilities on the part of the supervising authorities have been recognized. With a death of a high school basketball team captain in Okasa, Japan, at the end of 2012, Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology released a statement ‘aiming to eradiate violence in sports instruction.’ Afterwards the Ministry recommended the relevant agencies to adopt a declaration on preventing violence, and ordered to strictly discipline any disciplinary punishments and physical punishments of seniors, colleagues, teachers and leaders. The violent control occurs from the distorted operating method and hierarchical culture of sports teams, and it is premised on and/or includes violence. The Korean sports community must also come up with a specific regulation to objectify and eradicate the violent control. Also, a basis must be established to discipline the leaders who fail to manage and supervise the violent control in the name of rules, regulations and tradition, etc. within the sports teams. 33) NHRCK, Jan. 27, 2021, 20Direct0001100 Decision Reference 38
