Kim Youn-Kung played in Turkey for a long time and she is ADORED here in Turkey because of the way she expresses herself. There’s a video where during a game the referee gives the point to Kim’s team’s opponent and she runs to the referee and objects the decision speaking freaking Turkish!!! She’s a super talented player, she speaks her mind, she is confident and gets along very well with teammates. One of Kim’s Turkish teammates actually invited her to her wedding last year and the entire Turkish volleyball community swooned over her. Long story short, bullies are the absolute worst and we love Kim!
PHEW! I'm glad she isn't a bad person in this story. I'm a big fan of her from watching Korea's No.1 and and getting worried I was a fan of someone bad....
This isn’t bullying, it’s assault. They should be treated as assaulters, and put in prison for such actions. Bullying is terrible but a lot of Korean bullying is just assault and harassment, and they need to start passing laws to classify it as such and have the perpetrators go to prison for such crimes. And lower the age of judicial justice, especially after the case where 13 year olds murdered someone after doing a hit and run with a stolen car
Kim wasn’t exactly “lured” back to Korea. She chose to come back despite a significantly lower salary compared to what she was getting in Turkey. She’s a woman of class and loyalty. This is why she has a huge fan base. She’s a great athlete and a human being :)
um idk if it's about class and loyalty, I'm sure she has those traits but as someone who lives abroad, I'd go back to my home country in a heartbeat if I had a good enough job offer
@@dia3756 Kim's salary when she came back to korea was 350M Won very far from the salary she gets in turkey which is 1.5-2B won. She wanted to focus on the Olympics 2020 so she came back to Korea and also the leagye in Turkey was cancelled due to covid so she decided to come back. She's very patriotic to her country, Turkey even offered Kim to just be naturalized and play for them since she played in the turkish league for many years and turkish people love her but she still chose her country and refused their offer. She is a Legend not only in Korean volleyball but also worldwide. The volleyballworld calls her "one in a billion star" because she is that good.
When Kim Youngkyung was mentioned i knew she's not gonna take sh*t from anybody lmao she's an awesome player, and my respect grew bigger when i saw her in reality shows. her on and off-field personas are consistent and i love her for that
the behaviors and actions of the twins are definitely a result of their parents, specifically their mother’s, normalization of bullying and abuse. the way that the mother told them not to look down at the airport, essentially telling them not to feel remorse for their actions, is telling of how she probably would tell them not to feel bad for bullying their former teammates which is probably why they’re so audacious and unapologetic of their actions. they weren’t taught that they should feel bad for bullying others so of course they won’t understand why they have to apologize. i feel so bad for the victims, no one around them were able and willing to help, even those who could have changed their ways were manipulated to not do so.
yeah and kids don’t come up with these ideas on their own! a lot of time it’s them replicating what they experience at home, so i can imagine they became little demons from being looked up to in their town but also thinking abuse was normal
RIGHT ! Like how is this situation so *M E S S Y* beyond reason. Why didn't the players think of ganging up on the twins, they're not Gog & Magog ffs... I'm sure they would've out-powered them !? They were already in a dire situation anyway, mentally & physically scarred, they could've caused some ripple & if they get suspended/kicked out, then so be it. Are the twins' connections really gonna back them up on such a rotten record ?! I think tf not, if it gets out to the public & causes that much rage then they'll definitely drop them, which they did. It's just too big of a mess to try & clean up. It's a shame it didn't get out sooner, and that the victims had their pain prolonged like this.
@@catluvr_73 im sure the teammates didnt "gang up" on them because like stephanie mentioned, whenever they tried to tell the coach or anyone what was happening the coach immediately sided with the twins or punished the entire team.. they said they all felt like they were only there to support the twins and the mother was in with the coach as well, thats why the twins knew they could get away with this shit
Before retiring. Kim was ranked best in the world. Number 1 out of thousands of pro players. She played with Korea teams in her early career, but sought out bigger opportunities in other leagues. (To be the best you need to play the best) However, she did play with the twins on the National team in prior Olympics, so the twins were familar with her leadership and genius abilities but knew she would never steal their spotlight because Kim was in another league, while the twins stayed in Korea's leagues. As Kim got older she came back to Korea to be a mentor and/or end her career where it started. That's when the twins got upset she was taking their spotlight. The twins are good, but they're not at Kim's level.
Their mom definitely raised them with a survival of the fittest mindset. Always be the strongest, always have the power, it’s fine to abuse people b/c if they’re too weak to stop you then they deserve it. Absolutely terrifying. Not that the twins are blameless or anything, they’re, to put it simply, sadistically unhinged cowards that deserve everything that’s happened and more

I follow volleyball during Olympic cycle. Korea had a good national team that could have done some damage. Kudos to the Korean public who didn't care and rather them be kicked off the team even if it meant hurting their chances in Tokyo. Kim isnt just popular in Korea but she is international sensation and well respected globally
Every team in the volleyball team from the volleyball world have an Olympic qualifications in September,im sure SK wont qualify because they suck last year and placing last😭
I enjoyed watching the Korean team and liked the twin sisters for their skills. I knew they were accused of bullying but didn’t know until now all the things and the intensity of what they did. It’s straight up abuse and it’s crazy. It’s a shame and I hope Korea’s team gets back up in ranks even without these two. Thanks for the story, Steph.
Exactly. She gets to the point, covers so many side details quickly and connects them for you right away. And then she has moments where she inserts her own personal reactions to the story, which I love. She should have a podcast or something 😂
Kim is my girl crush. Also she was not only the best volleyball player but she was the highest paid volleyball player in the world at one point (not just highest female but the highest payed volleyball player as a whole) She’s such a cool person. I used to enjoy her episodes in I Live alone
I am from Greece and this is my first time hearing about the twins. I am not really into volleyball so I searched them up and they are actually playing for PAOK which is a very well known team in Greece. Seeing the comments under the videos of them playing on the team was scary. There were people writing " I don't care what they did they are amazing players" or " people can change god bless the twins".
@@piya-tf Seems like she had an injury and returned to Korea for treatment. That was over a year ago, though. No idea where she is now...but I assume we'd have heard it in this video if she were back in South Korean volleyball.
Kim is not just a great player but a great team leader. Her gift is said to be the ability to bring out the best out of each player. Her teammates often say she’s tough and disciplined but compassionate and encouraging.
15:14 btw, as an ex volleyball player, i can confirm that volleyball is, in FACT, a high impact sport. we do just about anything to hit the ball, that's what the knee pads are for because sometimes, we will put our entire body into it. the way you get your hand used to the pain, is to simply keep hitting the ball. for the first time you get into the sport, your wrist and hand will be bruised, and it is encouraged! thats the only way your hand will be able to handle the ball! we have wrist guards, but both of my coaches weren't very fond of them, hardly used it during practice. and its not just your hand either, your shoulders, you entire arms, your legs, your core, the balls of your feet will ache
I only did a volley ball camp and let me tell you, my arms were bright red half of the time (probably because I was a beginner but still). You do have to be really strong to play well, I was not strong enough.
I am not sporty but I am not HORRIBLE in any sport if you get what I mean. I am even decent in sports like badminton and kho-kho (Indian sport involving running). The only category of sports I am bad in is the ones including lifting, wrestling or tackling because I am thin, so naturally I didn't even try those as much. When I tried vollyeball once for shits and giggles, let me tell you, the ball barely bounced 10 cm away from my arm but my 2 arms felt like they were almost snapped off from the impact. It still remains the only non-wrestling/non-weightlifing based sport that I am laughably bad at.
I stan Kim from seeing her interviews and Netflix show Korean no1. She is level-headed, cool and doesn't try to be cute or show false modesty ....Girl is straight up professional athlete and funny.
I was cheering for Japan during the Olympic but I couldn’t help falling for Kim. Just watching her play, the aura she gave off, you can tell she’s an absolute powerhouse.
Very impressed with South Korea’s reaction to this and continued opposition to them “coming back”! 😳 Maybe we need more English language articles about them and their BS to fully realize just how bad they are- this video here I feel will go a long way honestly! Thanks Steph 🥰
I think it’s an Amber Heard quote from when she was abusing Johnny Depp. “I didn’t punch you, I was hitting you - there’s a difference” - I think it was something like that
KYK really is the boss the way she handled that issue was amazing im pretty sure there is more about her against them but she stayed silent and i remembered how she dissed the club's way of firing their coach mid season hahaha
When Steph said the odd sport was volleyball I was so shocked lol I'm Brazilian and volleyball is huge out here! It's like sport number 2 (after football, of course) for people to watch, and most Brazilian volleyball fans know Kim Yeon-koung who is a greaaaat player. Volleyball it's super fun to watch guys, give it a chance!! Also, love you Steph, be healthy!
I love Kim in Korea’s No.1 show, she’s so funny 😂 didn’t know she was in volleyball 😅 she’s basically Lee Kwang-soo’s twin with how fun they are in variety shows😂😂
Don’t mess with female Kwang Soo!!! 😂 Kim Yeon Koung is intense, cool, funny, and super chill. I stanned her since her first appearance in Running Man, and watched clips of her games since.
As a follower of Volley and a fan of Stephanie I am so excited she covered this! To clarify some context, Korea was pretty much a mediocre team but Kim Yeon-Koung (often called KYK) can carry the team. It's technically a one man team! Until the sisters came and provided "support" to KYK (in terms of skills) which brought korea to their peak in terms of level of play which we know was short lived as the story goes for the twins. KYK is also a famous youtuber (bread unnie)
Kim Yeon Koung was widely considered the best player in the entire world around the 2012 Olympics. Korea came in 4th and nearly medaled with a pretty weak team, just because Kim went total beast mode and carried the team through to the medal round. There were many people who thought that once Kim actually had some strong teammates like the Twins that Korea would be a very competitive team, but as Steph explains in the story, it didn't really work out that way.
47:00 it sounds like textbook abusers who isolate their victims to keep their abuse going without the “outside world” finding out. So by preventing their teammates parents from visiting, it’s like the next step of power and one less support for the victim to possibly “reveal” the abuse. That’s what I got from it😢
Or even catch a break psychologically from abuse by having some love&warm feeling of a hug,smile and reassurance from your parent even if it’s for a short visit
My cousin's ex-husband was a domestic violence victim. I literally saw him with bruises and injuries the morning after they visited my aunt's house and my cousin got upset with something childish like with Dayeong's reason. He never got into another relationship again. My cousin got a lesbian partner. Yes, my cousin was the perpetrator. Yes, men can also be victims of domestic violence.
@47:25, the twins getting mad at people for meeting their parents is probably an isolation tactic, I’m sure that their relationships with the parents also has something to do with it BUT notice how the girl who was framed for stealing the wallet became a social outcast at the school. They probably wanted these girls to feel alone and small, and for many, one’s parents is a huge form of encouragement and comfort, they’re basically trying to stop these girls from having anyone to turn to.
Kim yeon koung is the messi of women volleyball. She had constantly ranked world #1 female player. It isn’t a big comparison it is the right comparison 😂
10:31 omg their relationship is something which is the best thing literally ❤❤ it's weird cuz sometimes he makes fun of her or tease her but again he hates when she degrades herself it's like that's my right only 😂 they make me believe in love
The impact this woman has on my life, I was watching Crazy Rich Asians and I kept telling my girlfriend "no bc that's really how it actually goes, Stephanie once said-"
There are so many athletes that are protected just because they are good athletes for their heinous actions/crimes. This happens everywhere in every sport at any age! Have you seen what college football players get away with? Its so frustrating! All for a sport! Thank you for covering this story! Also KYK is a boss.
I was so shocked when I heard all about this scandal.. KYK is such a talented player and seems to be a great person too, I've always liked her personality and friendship with volleyball players from my country (such as Natália Zilio and even our coach Zé Roberto) ❤
kim youngkyeng is not just queen. She is the king of korean volleyball history. She was the highest paid player in whole world including male player. N she came back ot korean cutting her pay almost in half? Saying there is only certain amount of fee for whole team n she did not wanted to cut into other players fees. In her whole career she has been great in her plays also she would stand up to anybody for her team
Kim its not only a normal good volleyball player, she, for many years, has been considered the best female volleyball player in the world! Maybe not right now, but she’s is a legend when it comes to the sport.
I absolutely love LOVE 10 MINUTES and 30 SECONDS into the video how Mr. Mango tells his wife to NOT put herself down like that! I feel like that was just so SUPPORTIVE and it literally brought me to tears because he is literally there as a Knight to guard you from any negative thoughts, whether it be in joking form or serious form. That moment so so comforting to me because it confirms you both have a healthy and supportive relationship.❤❤❤❤❤❤
So there is this webcomic called Get Schooled, and it's about the ministry of education in South Korea correcting the corruption in the education system. So everytime I see miss Stephanie covering these cases, i get mind blown at how they're real.
Shepards Pie here in the UK is lamb mince, veggies, herbs and gravy, topped with mashed potato… and sometimes cheese if you’re feeling being extra. The confusion I felt seeing pizza and hash browns! 😅
About her beating her husband people seem to forget that it’s sometimes has to do with the fact that man cannot fight back like if they do they are deemed to be in the wrong.
Not to mention, just knowing what a popular/famous position your partner is in and how ridiculously tough it would be to leave them without public backlash..
14:31 the ace in volleyball is just the spiker that does most points, the most well rounded player is usually the setter. The coordination you need for this role is out of this world.
idk if this is true, but recently I saw that dayoung (younger twin) posted something about kimyeonkoung being lesbian(?) and that they were dating at one point. so, in order to drag yeonkoung down, she decided to out her (with korea being such a conservative country) in hopes that netizens would dislike her because of her sexuality, which is absolutely crazy
The twins seem work together in the game so obviously theyre setting each other up for success. But if you watch Kim play you can tell she's the real deal.
Stephanie is so inspiring and it's so nice to see her enjoying what she does, I'm so inspired by her story telling and podcast and because i have a true crime obsession i thinking of starting a podcast Chanel 👀 hehe
I’m so upset to see KYK in some drama! I discovered her watching a show she’s in on Netflix and I *LOVE* her! She’s so funny, chill, charismatic and definitely gives cool girl/down to earth vibes.
You didn’t mention the fact that Dayeong, the younger twin was exposed for stealing photos from Pinterest and posting them on her instagram as if they’re her photos. She had to close her account because of that.
I think the training the twins did with their mother contributed to their behavior. Think about it, if the mom really did give those bruses to her teammates, imagine what she could've done to her children. I notice how you kept mentioning those motor squats that the twins would use as a punishment. Maybe when the mother was feeling as if their plays weren't good enough, they would have to do those difficult exercises for a long time. Another thing you mentioned is that that the victims said that when the twins were in a bad mood, they would basically torture them. Referring back to the bruises on the mother's old team, it could be possible that they learned this behavior from their mom. The reason for the bruises is probably because they weren't training hard enough, and it is possible that the mom could have "tortured" the twins so that they get to a certain level of skill under a immense amount of pressure, and the girls took it out on their teammates. (P.S. This does not justify the behavior of the twins whatsoever.)
Wow! As an American who was raised in texas by an award winning football coach with 4 other uncles who are the same, this even shocks me. And back then hazing was a “Right of passage” and corporal punishment was the norm, yet this blows me away. Doing a squat for more than 5 mins is hard for any athlete. But 30 mins is insane. Also, no one has ever punched or pinched me or my stomach while talking to me. I am jealous that the citizens of South Korea didn’t let it go & held them responsible! Thanks for the amazing story.
You guys are so cute together this commentary was adorable, awesome video I’ve watched it three times it makes me giggle, super good background story to listen to while doing projects and stuff :) thank you!
this reminds me SOOOOOO MUCH of the korean sisters who play highschool basketball and are the aces of their team (the older sister is the captain) and they turn out to be the biggest bullies and they're torturing the other girl in their team who's better than them. they're from a webtoon named Get Schooled!
I just started watching your channels, and I have say I am addicted! You and your husband are such good kind hearted people and I feel the love! Hola from Houston Texas🤗🤗
The Korean National Team became one of the strongest team its not because of the twin it’s all becuase of The only Kim Yeon Koung. Just like Saore said Japan previous team captain “ its not Japan vs Korea, it’s Japan vs Kim Yeon Koung” and that’s a fact.
That's bullshit, everyone in the team worked their ass off to get to the top, Korean volleyball would've been nowhere without every players effort, I'm talking Kim yeonkoung, Kim heejin, lee jaeyoung, lee dayeon, park jong ah, EVERYBODY, NOT ONLY KIM YEON KOUNG
The sad part is most people that know about this behavior (coaches, families, etc.), are willing to be ok with it b/c they’re so convinced that these people are the only ones that are talented. One of the reasons some people get bullied is b/c the bully sees something in them that they’re threatened by. I’m very proud of Korea’s reaction, I wish Americans would do the same.
I cannot get enough of you Stephanie! You make my day with every video. I'm so impressed with how creative and thorough you are in each true crime case. I always eat along with you too : )
I am lIvIng for these videos about Korean public figures and Chinese billionaire playboys 😂. Literally the content I didn’t know I wanted or needed, thank you Stephanie so much ♥️
Just gotta say I love how discreet she was with the Lelo ad but I understood what they were 😅😊. Definitely going to check them out. She is so cute!! I love her energy and I look forward to the videos!!!
1:05:30 omg have they even tried getting slapped by a volleyball player??? Volleyball players' arm strength isn't a joke , i literally got slapped by a volleyball player friend (as a joke, the thing where ur friend slaps u when watching a romantic drama scene) AND IT HURT LIKE HELL. The area was red and aching for hours. Now imagine getting more than a slap, a literal beating 💀
yeah i agree. i’ve been a volleyball player since i was 8 cause my mom raised me with it, imagine the arm strength an 8 year old would develop throughout the years. i’m now currently 16 and a junior in high school, my arm strength is impeccable. i can curl 50-75 lbs with each arm despite being pretty slim/lean
Thank you for uploading so much recently Stephanie.. you're videos are so interesting ❤️❤️ I wish you and Mr mangobutt a happy relationship as well as Dan Dan too ❤️❤️
Imagine how many great volleyball players they would have if they didn’t put all their stock in just the twins. So many of their teammates could have gotten better and taken their places when this happened if they’d only care to train them Edit: Just finished the video and totally agree with you finishing statements
as someone who plays volleyball the comment about how our hands don't get broken made me laugh because its all about practice and our hands get more used to the force over time plus its about hitting the ball correctly i just found it funny... this video was a video i wanted to ask for as i followed quite closely to this case i just thought you'd never see my comment so even though i didn't ask thank you for this your videos are amazing :)
This story is something else - just when you think it's over... they keep doing more
Don't forget to heck out their sale! lelo.to/v8k

when i heard bully scandel i tpought maybe they were mean and cussed at people or smth..it was a suprise to see how crazy the whole thing acc is
Stephanie makes me want to cry because she’s such a good story teller. That is just STRAIGHT TALENT BRO !!!!!
Exactly. She gets to the point, covers so many side details quickly and connects them for you right away. And then she has moments where she inserts her own personal reactions to the story, which I love. She should have a podcast or something 😂
@@RavenDots115 she has a podcast called rotten mango :)

Kim is my girl crush. Also she was not only the best volleyball player but she was the highest paid volleyball player in the world at one point (not just highest female but the highest payed volleyball player as a whole) She’s such a cool person. I used to enjoy her episodes in I Live alone
KYK is a one in a billion player💯
I am from Greece and this is my first time hearing about the twins. I am not really into volleyball so I searched them up and they are actually playing for PAOK which is a very well known team in Greece. Seeing the comments under the videos of them playing on the team was scary. There were people writing " I don't care what they did they are amazing players" or " people can change god bless the twins".
Let's hope they do not bully any of the Greek players.
they both left paok. Dayeong is playing for a romanian team and jaeyeong went back to korea
@@theodoraptsrjaeyeong is playing for Korea again? they lifted her ban?
@@piya-tf
Seems like she had an injury and returned to Korea for treatment. That was over a year ago, though. No idea where she is now...but I assume we'd have heard it in this video if she were back in South Korean volleyball.
Don't worry. One twin is out of the current roster the other left and went to a Romania club.
Kim is not just a great player but a great team leader. Her gift is said to be the ability to bring out the best out of each player. Her teammates often say she’s tough and disciplined but compassionate and encouraging.
My day automatically gets better when Stephanie posts🤍

15:14 btw, as an ex volleyball player, i can confirm that volleyball is, in FACT, a high impact sport. we do just about anything to hit the ball, that's what the knee pads are for because sometimes, we will put our entire body into it. the way you get your hand used to the pain, is to simply keep hitting the ball. for the first time you get into the sport, your wrist and hand will be bruised, and it is encouraged! thats the only way your hand will be able to handle the ball! we have wrist guards, but both of my coaches weren't very fond of them, hardly used it during practice. and its not just your hand either, your shoulders, you entire arms, your legs, your core, the balls of your feet will ache
And don’t start on the ankles braces they were uncomfortable
@@R3DTones stoooop
mine would rub too hard on my skin just leave me feeling not great lmao 💀💀💀
I only did a volley ball camp and let me tell you, my arms were bright red half of the time (probably because I was a beginner but still). You do have to be really strong to play well, I was not strong enough.
I am not sporty but I am not HORRIBLE in any sport if you get what I mean. I am even decent in sports like badminton and kho-kho (Indian sport involving running). The only category of sports I am bad in is the ones including lifting, wrestling or tackling because I am thin, so naturally I didn't even try those as much. When I tried vollyeball once for shits and giggles, let me tell you, the ball barely bounced 10 cm away from my arm but my 2 arms felt like they were almost snapped off from the impact. It still remains the only non-wrestling/non-weightlifing based sport that I am laughably bad at.

Hi,
What's harder? Volleyball in the sand barefoot or in a gym?
I hope you reply.
Thanks in advance if you do 😂
I stan Kim from seeing her interviews and Netflix show Korean no1. She is level-headed, cool and doesn't try to be cute or show false modesty ....Girl is straight up professional athlete and funny.
I was cheering for Japan during the Olympic but I couldn’t help falling for Kim. Just watching her play, the aura she gave off, you can tell she’s an absolute powerhouse.
Very impressed with South Korea’s reaction to this and continued opposition to them “coming back”! 😳 Maybe we need more English language articles about them and their BS to fully realize just how bad they are- this video here I feel will go a long way honestly! Thanks Steph 🥰
Well, Koreas VB team is nothing without the girls. I don't mind them going back!
@@it-ke9od luckily it’s not up to u
@@it-ke9od u must like to bully ppl too huh 😌
@@it-ke9od you want a girl who takes videos of her teammates at toilet to represent korea? Wow
Men's team got some issues as well but still get to play
It’s giving “I didn’t hold the knife TO her, I held it AT her! There’s a difference!!” 😂
😂😅
Wait what is this a reference to?
I think it’s an Amber Heard quote from when she was abusing Johnny Depp.
“I didn’t punch you, I was hitting you - there’s a difference” - I think it was something like that
KYK really is the boss the way she handled that issue was amazing im pretty sure there is more about her against them but she stayed silent and i remembered how she dissed the club's way of firing their coach mid season hahaha
When Steph said the odd sport was volleyball I was so shocked lol I'm Brazilian and volleyball is huge out here! It's like sport number 2 (after football, of course) for people to watch, and most Brazilian volleyball fans know Kim Yeon-koung who is a greaaaat player. Volleyball it's super fun to watch guys, give it a chance!! Also, love you Steph, be healthy!
I love Kim in Korea’s No.1 show, she’s so funny 😂 didn’t know she was in volleyball 😅 she’s basically Lee Kwang-soo’s twin with how fun they are in variety shows😂😂
Don’t mess with female Kwang Soo!!! 😂 Kim Yeon Koung is intense, cool, funny, and super chill. I stanned her since her first appearance in Running Man, and watched clips of her games since.
As a follower of Volley and a fan of Stephanie I am so excited she covered this!
To clarify some context, Korea was pretty much a mediocre team but Kim Yeon-Koung (often called KYK) can carry the team. It's technically a one man team! Until the sisters came and provided "support" to KYK (in terms of skills) which brought korea to their peak in terms of level of play which we know was short lived as the story goes for the twins.
KYK is also a famous youtuber (bread unnie)
They should've kept the twins on the team
@@it-ke9od really ? a criminal on a national team
@@it-ke9od uhm, did you even watch the video gurl?
@@madbisscuit5941 yes I did. Korea lost all the games without them! So embarrassing!!
Yes I was so excited seeing this. My 2 favorite things colliding.
Kim Yeon Koung was widely considered the best player in the entire world around the 2012 Olympics. Korea came in 4th and nearly medaled with a pretty weak team, just because Kim went total beast mode and carried the team through to the medal round. There were many people who thought that once Kim actually had some strong teammates like the Twins that Korea would be a very competitive team, but as Steph explains in the story, it didn't really work out that way.
47:00 it sounds like textbook abusers who isolate their victims to keep their abuse going without the “outside world” finding out. So by preventing their teammates parents from visiting, it’s like the next step of power and one less support for the victim to possibly “reveal” the abuse. That’s what I got from it😢
Or even catch a break psychologically from abuse by having some love&warm feeling of a hug,smile and reassurance from your parent even if it’s for a short visit
well obviously they're abusive 🙄 don't need a "textbook" definition
oh
@@Dino-in5sg ok damn
@@Dino-in5sggurl 😂
My cousin's ex-husband was a domestic violence victim. I literally saw him with bruises and injuries the morning after they visited my aunt's house and my cousin got upset with something childish like with Dayeong's reason. He never got into another relationship again. My cousin got a lesbian partner. Yes, my cousin was the perpetrator. Yes, men can also be victims of domestic violence.
Sure they can....but the police won't listen
Sounds like a wimp
I have never seen anyone passionate about telling a story like Stephanie. I listen to her podcast 24/7 and I always love it. I wish she was my friend
@47:25, the twins getting mad at people for meeting their parents is probably an isolation tactic, I’m sure that their relationships with the parents also has something to do with it BUT notice how the girl who was framed for stealing the wallet became a social outcast at the school. They probably wanted these girls to feel alone and small, and for many, one’s parents is a huge form of encouragement and comfort, they’re basically trying to stop these girls from having anyone to turn to.
Kim yeon koung is the messi of women volleyball. She had constantly ranked world #1 female player. It isn’t a big comparison it is the right comparison 😂
The way i could tolerate Stephanie’s 1 hour storytelling than my actual lectures
That’s so real 😭
As a volleyball player, the amount of competition and how intense it is never really talked about enough
I'm Korean and I just laughed out loud too hard at how accurate you portrayed her words at 22:10
10:31 omg their relationship is something which is the best thing literally ❤❤ it's weird cuz sometimes he makes fun of her or tease her but again he hates when she degrades herself it's like that's my right only 😂 they make me believe in love
Her positive blunt, but honest persona is so refreshing :)
The impact this woman has on my life, I was watching Crazy Rich Asians and I kept telling my girlfriend "no bc that's really how it actually goes, Stephanie once said-"
There are so many athletes that are protected just because they are good athletes for their heinous actions/crimes. This happens everywhere in every sport at any age! Have you seen what college football players get away with? Its so frustrating! All for a sport!
Thank you for covering this story!
Also KYK is a boss.
I was so shocked when I heard all about this scandal.. KYK is such a talented player and seems to be a great person too, I've always liked her personality and friendship with volleyball players from my country (such as Natália Zilio and even our coach Zé Roberto) ❤
Your husband is your biggest hype man and I love it. You two My fave couple to watch!
Even though is a major case, the way Stephanie explains everything is so charismatic that makes it fun and not scary to watch\listen
This is the best thing on not television. Man Steph is so good at telling a tale. She always gets me so invested!
Right??? They sometimes make me feel as though I'm out to dinner with them, and sitting right there while she tells these stories! Haha.
kim youngkyeng is not just queen. She is the king of korean volleyball history. She was the highest paid player in whole world including male player. N she came back ot korean cutting her pay almost in half? Saying there is only certain amount of fee for whole team n she did not wanted to cut into other players fees. In her whole career she has been great in her plays also she would stand up to anybody for her team
Kim its not only a normal good volleyball player, she, for many years, has been considered the best female volleyball player in the world! Maybe not right now, but she’s is a legend when it comes to the sport.
Wow can I give you a personal stand up ovation? Because that ad was so perfectly executed you did not break character for a second. Im blown away
i love that you cover these stories that noone would! thank you for bringing us important social stories that needs to be heard.
The more I see Stephanie and MMB interact, the more I realise I’ll never find a man who treats me like he treats her 😢
PLS IKR 😭
feel the same way lmao but also Stephanie is also gorgeous and thoughtful 😭 two amazing people together
Yeah, not if you keep chasing Chad's and bad bots....
@@zenden6564 who’s chasing chads and bad boys? 🙄
i've been having a rough day so far thanks for uploading and making the rest of my day so much better i love u steph🥰🤞🏻🤞🏻
I absolutely love LOVE 10 MINUTES and 30 SECONDS into the video how Mr. Mango tells his wife to NOT put herself down like that! I feel like that was just so SUPPORTIVE and it literally brought me to tears because he is literally there as a Knight to guard you from any negative thoughts, whether it be in joking form or serious form. That moment so so comforting to me because it confirms you both have a healthy and supportive relationship.❤❤❤❤❤❤
So there is this webcomic called Get Schooled, and it's about the ministry of education in South Korea correcting the corruption in the education system. So everytime I see miss Stephanie covering these cases, i get mind blown at how they're real.
Yeah i was reminded of that basketball sisters ch.

Me toooo
Yeah in the US too
Seriously needed a video from you today after I heard the most heartbreaking news. Thank you Stephanie
i love the days Stephanie uploads. it gives me 30min to an hour to just relax 🥺
As a psych nurse saying u can’t see your parents was the twins way of controlling them and manipulating them
About her beating her husband people seem to forget that it’s sometimes has to do with the fact that man cannot fight back like if they do they are deemed to be in the wrong.
Not to mention, just knowing what a popular/famous position your partner is in and how ridiculously tough it would be to leave them without public backlash..
24:39 reminds me of the white chicks scene where the characters says “you wanna talk about mothers”😂 Stephanie you are so funny❤
Hahahah
14:31 the ace in volleyball is just the spiker that does most points, the most well rounded player is usually the setter. The coordination you need for this role is out of this world.
idk if this is true, but recently I saw that dayoung (younger twin) posted something about kimyeonkoung being lesbian(?) and that they were dating at one point. so, in order to drag yeonkoung down, she decided to out her (with korea being such a conservative country) in hopes that netizens would dislike her because of her sexuality, which is absolutely crazy
Stephanie is really a good story teller. You can feel the intensity of the rivalry in the volley ball team with Stephanie's story telling. 😄
Honestly I really miss all the cooking vlogs and then their mukbangs right after!! Please bring them back pleeeeaaseee
You just want this pizza recipe, which tbf so do i
The twins seem work together in the game so obviously theyre setting each other up for success. But if you watch Kim play you can tell she's the real deal.
LOVING all the korean and chinese scandals! Literally my fave videos from the last couple months. The tea is *muah* chefs kisses
I want her to do more American western scandals as well she mostly do be doing East Asian only
The fact that these girls are playing volleyball still and not sitting in a jail cell is insane!
Stephanie is so inspiring and it's so nice to see her enjoying what she does, I'm so inspired by her story telling and podcast and because i have a true crime obsession i thinking of starting a podcast Chanel 👀 hehe
I’m so upset to see KYK in some drama! I discovered her watching a show she’s in on Netflix and I *LOVE* her! She’s so funny, chill, charismatic and definitely gives cool girl/down to earth vibes.
Which show??
@@xxasdoo9246 korea no. 1

And stephanie saves my day from boring homework ONCE AGAIN 💗💗
In Bailey Sarina's words "I'm laughing because it's so uncomfortable".
We know how it feels to laugh at something because no reaction can express it
I love how she keeps DanDan in the intro 🥰🥰 it just honors him while he’s temporarily gone
What happened to DanDan?
You didn’t mention the fact that Dayeong, the younger twin was exposed for stealing photos from Pinterest and posting them on her instagram as if they’re her photos. She had to close her account because of that.
I think the training the twins did with their mother contributed to their behavior. Think about it, if the mom really did give those bruses to her teammates, imagine what she could've done to her children. I notice how you kept mentioning those motor squats that the twins would use as a punishment. Maybe when the mother was feeling as if their plays weren't good enough, they would have to do those difficult exercises for a long time. Another thing you mentioned is that that the victims said that when the twins were in a bad mood, they would basically torture them. Referring back to the bruises on the mother's old team, it could be possible that they learned this behavior from their mom. The reason for the bruises is probably because they weren't training hard enough, and it is possible that the mom could have "tortured" the twins so that they get to a certain level of skill under a immense amount of pressure, and the girls took it out on their teammates. (P.S. This does not justify the behavior of the twins whatsoever.)
Wow! As an American who was raised in texas by an award winning football coach with 4 other uncles who are the same, this even shocks me. And back then hazing was a “Right of passage” and corporal punishment was the norm, yet this blows me away. Doing a squat for more than 5 mins is hard for any athlete. But 30 mins is insane. Also, no one has ever punched or pinched me or my stomach while talking to me. I am jealous that the citizens of South Korea didn’t let it go & held them responsible! Thanks for the amazing story.
Why are yall defending them they are freaking bully's even if they had a bad childhood doesn't mean it's okay for them to do it for others
The way people defend bullies makes me so sick. May everyone who excuses and indulges in this behavior rot in hell.
You guys are so cute together this commentary was adorable, awesome video I’ve watched it three times it makes me giggle, super good background story to listen to while doing projects and stuff :) thank you!
this reminds me SOOOOOO MUCH of the korean sisters who play highschool basketball and are the aces of their team (the older sister is the captain) and they turn out to be the biggest bullies and they're torturing the other girl in their team who's better than them. they're from a webtoon named Get Schooled!
Kimyeonkoung korea national treasure ...international fans love her and support her ❤❤❤love from philippines
had the worst day today, but Stephanie is here to save the day as always ❤
The way it took me a MINUTE to figure out what Stephanie was advertising in the beginning of the video
I just started watching your channels, and I have say I am addicted! You and your husband are such good kind hearted people and I feel the love!
Hola from Houston Texas🤗🤗
me too; I get a lot cleaned just cleaning while listening to her
The Korean National Team became one of the strongest team its not because of the twin it’s all becuase of The only Kim Yeon Koung. Just like Saore said Japan previous team captain “ its not Japan vs Korea, it’s Japan vs Kim Yeon Koung” and that’s a fact.
That's bullshit, everyone in the team worked their ass off to get to the top, Korean volleyball would've been nowhere without every players effort, I'm talking Kim yeonkoung, Kim heejin, lee jaeyoung, lee dayeon, park jong ah, EVERYBODY, NOT ONLY KIM YEON KOUNG
The sad part is most people that know about this behavior (coaches, families, etc.), are willing to be ok with it b/c they’re so convinced that these people are the only ones that are talented. One of the reasons some people get bullied is b/c the bully sees something in them that they’re threatened by. I’m very proud of Korea’s reaction, I wish Americans would do the same.
Thank you Stephanie for making our days brighter w your constant uploads :)
Watching Haikyuu genuinely helped understanding the premise and scale of this whole story 😅
Oh my god the audacity the twins have to even consider suing the victims... I have no words
love watching n hearing Stephanie narrated everything
I cannot get enough of you Stephanie! You make my day with every video. I'm so impressed with how creative and thorough you are in each true crime case. I always eat along with you too : )
I learn SO, SO MUCH because of Stephanie. I'm so glad I know about her.
You know it's going to be a good day every time Stephanie post's a video.
I am lIvIng for these videos about Korean public figures and Chinese billionaire playboys 😂. Literally the content I didn’t know I wanted or needed, thank you Stephanie so much ♥️
Just gotta say I love how discreet she was with the Lelo ad but I understood what they were 😅😊. Definitely going to check them out.
She is so cute!! I love her energy and I look forward to the videos!!!
the way you tell the story is so fun it sounds like crazy tea and I'm gasping listening
I am STRESSING from my Uni work, thank you for uploading as usual
The amount of thirsty weirdos rooting for her on her IG is crazy. What a bunch of crazies
Stephanie you should do a series of trying foods from different countries ❤ and pair it with stories linked to that country🙇♀️
Up
This is a very good idea
❤
1:05:30 omg have they even tried getting slapped by a volleyball player??? Volleyball players' arm strength isn't a joke , i literally got slapped by a volleyball player friend (as a joke, the thing where ur friend slaps u when watching a romantic drama scene) AND IT HURT LIKE HELL. The area was red and aching for hours. Now imagine getting more than a slap, a literal beating 💀
yeah i agree. i’ve been a volleyball player since i was 8 cause my mom raised me with it, imagine the arm strength an 8 year old would develop throughout the years. i’m now currently 16 and a junior in high school, my arm strength is impeccable. i can curl 50-75 lbs with each arm despite being pretty slim/lean
Thank you for uploading so much recently Stephanie.. you're videos are so interesting ❤️❤️ I wish you and Mr mangobutt a happy relationship as well as Dan Dan too ❤️❤️
Ok that pizza creations looks INCREDIBLE, but it makes me think you’ve never actually had shepherds pie 🤣🤣🤣 great video!
Imagine how many great volleyball players they would have if they didn’t put all their stock in just the twins. So many of their teammates could have gotten better and taken their places when this happened if they’d only care to train them
Edit:
Just finished the video and totally agree with you finishing statements
as someone who plays volleyball the comment about how our hands don't get broken made me laugh because its all about practice and our hands get more used to the force over time plus its about hitting the ball correctly i just found it funny...
this video was a video i wanted to ask for as i followed quite closely to this case i just thought you'd never see my comment so even though i didn't ask thank you for this your videos are amazing :)
Netflix series, please! But honestly, how their school mates didn't break their faces in some dark corner, is the real question.
