Rep. Jin held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Center in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 25th and strongly criticized Chairman Lee's alleged perjury during the process of questioning pending issues by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee on the 24th.
In a questionnaire yesterday by the Culture and Sports Committee, I asked Chairman Lee Ki-heung if he was a public official?When asked, Chairman Lee gave a ridiculous answer that he was not a public officialChairman Lee Ki-heung should immediately apologize for repeated false testimony and take responsibility as the chairman of the sports committee. Chairman Lee admitted to the National Assembly that the Korean Sports Council is a different public institution, but insisted that he was not a public official"The Korean Sports Council is classified as a 'public service-related organization' according to the notice of the Ministry of Personnel Management, and Chairman Lee is clearly a public official." It is deceiving the people to claim that the chairman is not a public official at a time when the Korean Sports Council is classified as a other public institution. He criticized that he is not qualified as the head of the Korean Sports Council, which manages a budget of 400 billion won a year just because he/she is not even a public official.
Chairman Lee Ki-heung then continued to express his opposition to the intervention of sports in politics, saying that he will continue to make sports independent in politics"However, two of the four secretary-general of the Korean Sports Council, who are in charge of the management of the Korean Sports Council, resigned or moved to other high-ranking positions without fulfilling their term of office. Is the independence from politics that Chairman Lee Ki-heung calls for expanding his political influence and independence from checks for a second term?"
He also pointed out the part of the special adviser, which has recently been controversial in the stylistic committee. Although Article 28 of the articles of association of the Korea Sports Association stipulates that 'the president and other part-time executives shall not be paid remuneration', a related director, who has been appointed as a public relations ambassador to the Central Shindohoe-affiliated corporation since the time of the Chairman of the Central Shindohoe, has been appointed as a special advisor for the Pyeongchang Training and received more than 3 million won per month"It was a direct hit. Chairman Lee Ki-heung has no choice but to raise a reasonable suspicion that he ignored the articles of association by exploiting the fact that the Sports Fair Commission, which makes an interpretation of the articles of association violation, is under his influence.
Rep. Jin, who accompanied the head of the team as a shooting gold medalist at the London Olympics and has maintained close relations with the Korean Sports Council as a co-chairman of the Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics, clearly expressed his position 'Ban Ki-heung' for the first time since entering Yeouido as a proportional representative in the 22nd general election. Rep. Park Jung-ha (Wonju Gap, Gangwon-do) made remarks disparaging of himself and Rep. Jin at a meeting of the Gangwon-do Provincial Sports Council on the previous day, saying, `I am very sorry that my name was mentioned,' and demanded an official apology.
After pointing out additional allegations of misconduct by the Korea Football Association and the Korea Badminton Association as well as Chairman Lee at a press conference on the same day, Rep. Jin said, "The bottom is not clear, but the bottom cannot be clear." The reform of the KOC cannot be delayed any longer, and its beginning lies in the inability of Chairman Lee Ki-heung to serve a third term in office." Representative Jin "Today, I demand in the name of the people. Please stop putting it down and pass it on to future generations. I hope you will stop thinking that you are the only one who is right. I will go all the way with athletes and the people on the path to reform for transparency and fairness in the sports worldexpressed the position that "
