Lee Da-yeong (Korean: 이다영; Hanja: 李多英; RR: I Da-yeong; born 15 October 1996) is a South Korean female volleyball player who previously played as a setter for the South Korea women's national volleyball team.[1][2][3] She is the twin sister of Lee Jae-yeong, who was also a member of the South Korea national Volleyball team.[4]

Career

Lee Da-yeong started her international career similarly to her twin sister and they have played together in several international events for the national team, including the 2014 Asian Games held in South Korea, at which they clinched the gold medal.[5] Other tournaments at which they have competed in together include the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League,[6] the 2018 Asian Games,[7] and the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup in September 2019.[8]

Personal life

Lee Da-yeong was born on 15 October 1996 as one of twin daughters to Kim Gyeong-hui and Lee Ju-hyeong. Her mother is Kim Gyeong-hui who played as a setter for the South Korea women's national volleyball team at the 1988 Summer Olympics.[9]

Lee studied in the Jeonju Jungsan Elementary School, the Jinju Gyeonghae Girls' Middle School and the Jinju Sunmyung Girls' High School. Her twin sister Lee Jae-yeong is also a national volleyball player.[10]

In February 2021, several people who went to the same school club as the two sisters posted it online, that the twins had committed school violence. It is said that they also assaulted and threatened their teammates with weapons, confinement, verbal and psychological abuse, and swearing at their parents.[11]

The sisters were both suspended indefinitely by their club after being anonymously accused of bullying online.[12]

The Korean Volleyball Association also issued a disciplinary punishment that they have been banned from participating in the national team indefinitely as well as permanent expulsion so that they cannot be listed on the list as a volleyball coaches even after retirement.[13]

They have however claimed that many of the bullying accusations made towards them were false, and plan on taking legal action against the anonymous author of the online post.

Lee married her then-husband in April 2018, after 3 months of dating. The pair separated shortly after due to the verbal and physical abuse suffered by the husband from Lee. The pair have since settled on a legal divorce in 2021.[11]
