Abstract
This study utilizes critical theory to understand the phenomenon of sports violence in South Korea, specifically examining the tragic case of Choi Sook-hyun. The incident is not viewed as an isolated act, but rather a reflection of power dynamics, societal expectations, and cultural norms. The analysis reveals that such violence results from the abuse of power within sports organizations and a cultural environment that places competition and obedience above athletes’ well-being. It proposes that interventions should focus on restructuring power relations in sports and driving sociocultural shifts through public education and legislations. This comprehensive approach can aid in the prevention of sports violence and promote a culture of respect and fairness. Further research is suggested to examine sports violence in various social and cultural contexts and to evaluate the effectiveness of different intervention strategies.
