The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has decided to audit the Korea Football Association (KFA) in connection with the appointment of Hong Myung-bo as head coach of the national soccer team.

An official from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said on the 19th that the audit was confirmed from the time second vice minister Jang Mi-ran met with reporters the day before and mentioned conducting the audit. Vice Minister Jang visited the National Assembly the day before and had a conversation with Choo Kyung-ho, floor leader of the People's Power Party, about the appointment of the national team coach, and met with reporters the day before and said, `Many people are curious about whether the KFA is operating properly. We will prepare well to resolve the questions of the people through the audit."

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism began an audit in writing, and it has not been decided when to conduct a 'real site audit' that is directly audited by the KFA.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism previously announced through the media on the 15th that it will investigate whether there are any inappropriate parts in the operation of the KFA and the selection process of the national team. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which was conducting a basic investigation into the KFA, decided to switch to an audit three days after announcing its policy.

The KFA is determined to faithfully participate in the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism audit. A KFA official said, `We have not received any contact from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism yet"I'll do my best when I get a request for an investigation."."

KFA, which had been looking for a new head coach for more than five months since former coach Jurgen Klinsmann was replaced in February, appointed Ulsan HD coach Hong Myung-bo on the 7th. Since then, the aftermath has been intense, and eventually led to an audit by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
