During a WK League match, player Ji So-yeon protested against the referee's use of an idiom for menstruation and inappropriate remarks implying sensitivity. In response, Suwon FC Women requested fact-checking and action from the Korea Football Association (KFA), while the Korea Women's Football Federation also demanded an official stance from the KFA Referee Operations Team. The Women's Football Federation stated that it would take necessary measures after confirming the facts and plans to work on improvement measures to prevent similar incidents from recurring. This incident will serve as a catalyst for a joint meeting between referees, WK League participating clubs, and others to discuss development plans for WK League referees.
