On the 24th, a question on pending issues of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee was held at the main building of the National Assembly. Here, we looked at the process of appointing the coach of the A national team of the Korea Football Association and the controversy surrounding the Korea Badminton Association and the Korea Sports Association. In all three organizations, a total of 25 witnesses and eight witnesses were called to the National Assembly. In the Korea Football Association, Chairman Chung Mong-kyu, head coach Hong Myung-bo, technical director Lee Im-saeng, former chairman of the national team's power reinforcement committee, and former power reinforcement committee member Park Joo-ho were selected as witnesses.
Questions continued about the process of appointing the national team coach by the Korea Football Association and the establishment of the Cheonan Football Center. Among them, the process of appointing the A team was by far the most interested.
After Jurgen Klinsmann resigned in February, South Korean soccer began to find a new head coach. There were ups and downs. At the end of June, former chairman of the Korea Electric Power Reinforcement Committee suddenly resigned, leaving director Lee responsible for the remaining procedures. Director Lee selected Hong after meeting with foreign director candidates David Wagner and Gus Foyet in person. However, unlike the two foreign candidates, it was said that the interview and presentation were not conducted during the appointment of director Hong. Related points followed.
Hong was asked by most lawmakers. After nearly three hours of questioning, he could not say ". Still, at the end, I was able to thank the committee member Lim Oh-kyung for giving me time. I think it's a relief"As Ulsan HD coach, the team began to falter in February. Fans also sent condolence flowers and held truck demonstrations. Watching that, I had a hard time as a director. The player could not concentrate on the team according to the player. The idea was that the director didn't know when he would leave. I didn't take any official offers. As I kept talking about it, I had no choice but to say that as a director. After meeting with director Lee Im-saeng in July, the hardest time of my 40 years of football was after the 2014 World Cup.... I didn't want to go in there again. The director's words failed to turn a blind eye. Just because I do it doesn't mean I'm good at it, but I have 10 years of experience than 10 years ago. It was a situation where I had to make a decision. I decided to contribute to the World Cup team based on my failure."

-a general review.
I couldn't say ▶. Still, at the end, I was able to thank the committee member Lim Oh-kyung for giving me time. I think it's a relief.
-Was there anything else you wanted to say.
▶As Ulsan HD coach, the team began to falter in February. Fans also sent condolence flowers and held truck demonstrations. Watching that, I had a hard time as a director. The player could not concentrate on the team according to the player. The idea was that the director didn't know when he would leave. I didn't take any official offers. As I kept talking about it, I had no choice but to say that as a director. After meeting with director Lee Im-saeng in July, the hardest time of my 40 years of football was after the 2014 World Cup.... I didn't want to go in there again. The director's words failed to turn a blind eye. Just because I do it doesn't mean I'm good at it, but I have 10 years of experience than 10 years ago. It was a situation where I had to make a decision. Based on the failure, I thought I would contribute to the World Cup team and concluded it.
-The reason for the controversy is that there was no interview process.
▶ This director wrote down everything I said. I listened to this director and talked about my thoughts. There was the technical philosophy of Korean soccer and my soccer philosophy. He talked about my technical formation, soccer style, attack and defense, including ways to connect the national team. At the end, the director asked me to do something about the national team part, but he suggested it to me. I've decided on that.
-There is unlikely to be a question from the National Assembly about the coach of the A national team worldwide.
▶It's time for me to be in Europe this time. Of course, there is no need to check the existing players, but there were some players to check. As a result, I came here without checking. On the one hand, I don't think it's bad to talk about what the people are curious about. It is very difficult and awkward to speak. But as far as I know, I was going to tell you everything.
-How do you think this will affect the A national team in October.
▶There is a lot of talk from outside. There are some difficult things to say, but I haven't seen them particularly when I went to training. I didn't even hear from others. With this as an opportunity, I think it is my duty to take responsibility for the team and grow it into a better team.
-Some questions were unanswerable.
▶I can't give you an answer. It's not something I can tell. It's hard to tell you if it's fair, not if I was in the power reinforcement committee. From the executive director's point of view, I don't think this process has given preferential treatment. In particular, the role of the committee ended after the 10th meeting. The final three were chosen. The director's role is to meet and negotiate with them. For example, in the past, Chairman Kim Pan-gon placed four to five final candidates and did not reach the first to third round, so the fourth Bento was selected. That's the role of an all-powerhouse. I think it's a role to negotiate sequentially. I didn't understand it at first because Yang Moon-seok, a member of the committee, asked me whether I was qualified or not. From that point of view, I think the role of the powerhouse in the 10th round has ended. I don't know how the 11th game happened. That's what I heard.
