The Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee (Culture Committee) conducted a questionnaire at the National Assembly on the 24th about the recent controversy surrounding the Korea Football Association, the Korea Sports Council, and the Korea Badminton Association.
Kim Jae-won, a member of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, questioned Chairman Chung Mong-gyu, saying, "Isn't the recent series of activities aimed at 4 consecutive terms?"
Kim Jae-won asked the reason why the Korea Football Association did not appoint a foreign coach was to save the budget.
In addition, the Football Association is responsible for more than 80% of the construction cost of the soccer center. It has not even received a preliminary feasibility study. I wonder why you are lukewarm about securing external resources. Why did you reject all foreign directors?" he questioned.
Kim Jae-won raised suspicions that Chairman Chung Mong-gyu saved the budget to build achievements for his fourth consecutive term and appointed Hong Myung-bo as part of it.
At the same time, Kim Jae-won will not challenge "4 consecutive terms?"
asked.
Chairman Chung Mong-kyu said, `We will carefully open up all possibilities for the development of soccer and make a decision after careful consideration. In the end, he did not affirm or deny, saying, "Wouldn't history evaluate it?"
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu said, `It is difficult to agree on the part that he said all activities are a paving stone for the fourth consecutive term. The soccer center is essential not only for our representative players but also for leaders as well as for various competitions and referees. It is an important business for infrastructure investment."
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu believes that there is no violation of the process of appointing Hong Myung-bo. It is not desirable for the personnel process to be discussed. I don't think dissecting each person individually is a desirable personnel practice. If it's procedurally wrong, I'll be pointed out and make improvements," he replied.
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu recommended three Wagner Foye Hong Myung-bo at the 10th Power Enhancement Committee. Wagner and Foyet said they had a Zoom meeting. Machi and Casas met in person before. So Wagner and Foyet also met in person, and Hong Myung-bo also said, "Why don't we make the three fair?"
Park Soo-hyun (Democratic Party of Korea) asked "(Is this controversy) just a suspicion and is there no defect?"
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu replied, `I think so.'
