The exposure of alleged match fixing in the K-League on Wednesday is likely to escalate into the worst scandal in the leagues 28-year-old history.

The prosecutors arrested two brokers and are investigating 10 players as of Thursday, including Sangju Sangmu Phoneix striker and former national team member Kim Dong-hyun, on charges of colluding for illegal gains through sports betting by rigging the game results. A rumor is prevalent that there are more players who have taken bribes. They seem to exist in almost every club, according to a league official who asked not to be named.

The football officials are worried that the K-League will face an unprecedented crisis in the aftermath of these revelations.

Representatives from the K-League clubs hurriedly convened a meeting on Thursday afternoon to discuss how to cope with the matter.

The alleged match fixing could damage the leagues reputation by triggering serious distrust among the fans, Kim Won-dong, Gangwon FC CEO, said.

If a player makes a mistake in the penalty area, his teammates could wonder whether he is involved in rigging the game results.

This will lead to emotional instability among the athletes, and affect the game, he added.

The Changwon District Prosecutors Office, which initiated an investigation into Kims case, expanded its probe into Incheon Uniteds deceased goalkeeper Yoon Ki-won whose suicide on May 6 is rumored to be related to the scandal.

It has yet to be confirmed whether the brokers and the players placed bets with Sports Toto that runs a lottery and sports betting business, or collaborated with illegal bookmakers. There had been speculation that many K-League officials were aware of the unlawful betting and match fixing since last season, and it was just a matter of time before the scam came to light.

According to the investigators, the brokers usually approached the athletes who earn an annual salary of less than 500 million won, offering them benefits in return for helping fix the games. Kim is currently doing his military duty with Sangmu, a military team comprised of amateur and professional athletes serving in the Armed Forces. Yoon made his professional debut for Incheon in 2010, making one appearance last year, but played for the club seven times this season.

Players from smaller clubs may have been more susceptible to such offers, as they could receive more than their yearly pay by collaborating two or three times a season.

Many of the involved footballers consist of goalkeepers and defenders who could conspire to concede goals. The forwards also became targets as they could deliberately miss scoring opportunities to lose the game.

While the gamblers with close relationships with local criminal gangs brought illegal benefits to the players, they constantly blackmailed the athletes to remain in the scheme and used violence when the players failed to follow the plan.

I heard Kim was beaten up when he failed to follow the plan suggested by the brokers, a K-League official said.

Yoons death is also seen as suspicious as his career was on the rise and he apparently had no particular reason to kill himself.
