On April 4, Heo announced the donation on his social media, saying, “I sued malicious people, not fans,” and “Please don’t call fans malicious people. They are not fans.” He announced the donation on his social media page.

He was named Lotte’s head coach in November 2019, but the team failed to qualify for the postseason after finishing seventh in the 2020 season (71 wins, 1 draw, 72 losses) and struggled to a 12-18 record at the start of the 2021 season, leading to his midseason dismissal.

After stepping down, Heo received a barrage of negative comments from netizens, prompting him to sue them.

“It’s okay to swear at me,” He said, adding, “I filed the lawsuit to catch the indiscriminate comments, so there’s no need to sue now. Just don’t criticize my family. I will accept criticism of me.”

“There are still (additional) lawsuits pending,” he said, adding, “I will continue to donate the money from the settlement to the needy, excluding attorney fees.”
