Yoo Seung Min, chairman of the Korea Sports Council, who attended the National Assembly meeting for the first time since taking office, said, "We will judge the approval of Jung Mong-gyu, president of the Korea Football Association, according to the regulations."

Chairman Yoo Seung Min attended the entire meeting of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee on the 5th.

It is the first time that Chairman Yoo, who began his four-year term with the general meeting of representatives of the sports association on the 28th of last month, attended the National Assembly as the head of the sports association.

Earlier, on the 3rd of last month, he visited the National Assembly as an elected president and met with members of the political affairs committee, including Jin Jong-oh (People's Power) and Lim Oh-kyung (Democratic Party of Korea), and prevented National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik.

Questions about the confirmation of Chung Mong-kyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, who succeeded in serving four consecutive terms with overwhelming support of 85 percent, poured in at the plenary session.
Chairman Chung's approval must be approved by Chairman Yoo after deliberation by the Sports and Sports Ministry of the Korea Sports Council.

After two election disruptions, Chairman Chung Mong-gyu received overwhelming support from footballers, but controversy continues.

When the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the results of a specific audit of the Korea Football Association in November last year, it demanded Chairman Chung Mong-gyu and others to impose severe disciplinary measures beyond the suspension of qualifications.

However, the effect of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's request for severe disciplinary action has been suspended as the court cited a request for suspension of execution of the specific audit results and measures issued by the Korea Football Association against the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism immediately appealed, and the results are expected in mid-March.

In the meantime, the Sports Council says that there is no reason not to approve the confirmation as the Sports Fair Committee has approved the qualification for four consecutive terms and there is no reason for the disqualification of executives.

In this regard, Min Hyung-bae of the Democratic Party of Korea pointed out the remarks made by Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Yoo In-chon in October last year that he would not approve Chairman Chung's fourth consecutive term.

Minister Yoo In-chon said, "The approval is not made by me, but by the chairman of the sports association," adding, "The Ministry of Culture has requested heavy punishment, and the suspension of execution is currently cited by the court. We have to wait until this part is resolved. If the judgment comes out, we can do it accordingly."

"First of all, we should follow the rules and principles," said Yoo, who holds the approval right for Chung. "If there is no reason for disqualification, we should approve it. We are supposed to give five days to file an objection after our election, but that is until tomorrow."

He added, "If there is no objection by tomorrow, it is a rule to confirm that there is no reason for disqualification."

However, Rep. Min asked again, "A ruling on heavy disciplinary action has not yet been made. Shouldn't we put the confirmation on hold?"

In response, Chairman Yoo Seung Min replied, "The demand for disciplinary action goes to the Korea Football Association," adding, "If we delay the ratification, it will harm the autonomy and independence of the game organization."

When asked if he was not willing to accept the ministry's request for disciplinary action, Yoo Seung Min reiterated that it is a regulation.

If the court's ruling comes out after the confirmation, it will respond accordingly, but in the current situation, there is no reason not to approve it.

The demand for the approval of Chairman Chung Mong-kyu by the committee members continued afterwards.

Cho Kye-won of the Democratic Party of Korea said, "The decision to approve Chairman Chung is Yoo Seung Min's first test," adding, "The sports committee has refused to approve the president of the Ice Hockey Association, which was suspected of assault in 2022."

In addition, Lee Ki-hyun of the Democratic Party of Korea also pressed, "If you put the first button wrong, there will be problems with the operation of the sports association." 토토사이트

Chairman Yoo reiterated, "If there is no objection, it is a principle to approve it," and added, "If there is a problem, we will come up with the next best option. We will review it more closely and receive reports from working-level officials."

Meanwhile, Yoo expressed his commitment to reforming the electoral system.

"We will reorganize it so that a wide range of electors can choose in a way that a large number of athletes participate," he said.
