The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee expressed its position on the controversy over the 'kickboxing real chairman' that stunned everyone at the parliamentary audit of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee.
Kim Jong-min, chairman of the Korea Kick Boxing Association, appeared as a witness and Kang Shin-joon, former chairman of the National Assembly, as a reference at the National Assembly's audit committee on the 22nd. A sketch in which Hyun and Jeon claim the qualifications of 'Western Chairman' was broadcast in real time across the country. We engaged in a shameful battle of truth.
Chairman Kim Jong-min was elected as a sole candidate by refusing twice and accepting for the third time because he was asked to serve as chairman of the Kickboxing Association, and took office in January. Then, a report from the Sports Ethics Center was filed against Secretary-General K, and he was suspended for three months on charges of corruption and absenteeism, but Secretary-General K stole his seal stamp. Kang Shin-joon was registered as the chairman after making a delegation of electors and re-election." Chairman Kim also claimed that Kang Shin-joon impersonated the chairman and profited from more than 4,000 illegal single-card sales. On the other hand, former chairman Kang insisted on legitimacy, saying, `It is clear that he became chairman through the May 28, 2021 election.' "As soon as I took office, Chairman Kim Jong-min decided to come as Boeun, who helped Chairman Lee Ki-heung in the election, and in the process, the Korean Sports and Olympic Committee (KOC) did not approve it (for me)."
Former chairman Kang then directly hit Rep. Lim Oh-kyung (Secretary of the Democratic Party of Korea). In last year's parliamentary audit, Rep. Lim pointed out the status of the illegal kickboxing and rough-and-ready short test conducted under former Chairman Kang, claiming that the transcripts presented as evidence were "all fabricated." The person whose recording was released made a shocking statement that he made an extreme choice. In a furious atmosphere, Jeon Jae-soo, chairman of the stylistic committee, requested an official apology from former chairman Kang.
Rep. Lim Oh-kyung said "It's a serious matter. There are two presidents in the sports organization. One is really. One is fake. They deplore each other saying they are real." He then encouraged Lee Ki-heung, chairman of the Korea Sports Council, and Lee Jung-woo, director of the sports bureau of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, saying, `Please reveal the truth until the comprehensive audit and clear all misconceptions.'
On the 23rd, a day before the comprehensive audit of the National Assembly's stylistic committee on the 24th, the Korea Sports Council's Sports Promotion Department announced its position on the Kickboxing Association dispute. He ruled in favor of Chairman Kim Jong-min. "The Korean Sports Council approved Kim Jong-min, who was elected as the sole candidate on February 3, 2021, and began his term as chairman. Three months later, former Secretary-General K unilaterally convened the association's election committee, took issue with the existing election procedure, held a re-election after deciding to invalidate the election for Kim Jong-min, and announced the new chairman (Kang Shin-joon) as the elected president on May 22, 2021, and Kang Shin-joon claims that he is the valid chairman elected according to the procedure"I summarized the case. After former Secretary-General K was dismissed in 2021 for extortion of corporate registration documents, the president-elect Kang Shin-joon was announced through re-election on May 22, and on June 14, a legal dispute arose as he registered the CEO of the register as Kang Shin-joon using the association's seal arbitrarily"The progress of the kickboxing fake chairman's case was pointed out.
The Korea Sports Association also disclosed the ruling in favor of the plaintiff in the lawsuit filed by Chairman Kim against former Chairman Kang. The decision that the resolution of the General Assembly that appointed Kang Shin-joon as the representative of the association was invalid (the board of directors conducted by Kang Shin-joon, invalid of the General Assembly) was won, and in the application and filing of a provisional injunction for invalidation of approval filed by former Chairman Kang against the Sports Association, it was ruled that 'the NEC's decision to elect Chairman Kim Jong-min or the resolution of the General Assembly was all due to forged documents, and the association's NEC's decision to cancel Kim Jong-min's election and re-election was also insufficient to clarify whether it was due to due process or not.
Regarding Kang Shin-joon's request for provisional injunction for invalidity of approval against the Korean Sports Council, the court ruled that the decision to elect Chairman Kim Jong-min, who was the sole candidate, and the resolution of the General Assembly was all due to forged documentsThe Sports Council did not cancel the confirmation of Chairman Kim Jong-min because it judged that Chairman Kim Jong-min was a legitimate representative who did not fall under the subparagraphs of Article 26 (1) of the Member Sports Organization Regulations (Reasons for Disqualification of Officers) according to each judgment of the Court" reported his position. He then emphasized Lim's claim, saying, "The matters related to the sale of kickboxing single certificates raised by Lim Oh-kyung's office during the parliamentary audit in October 2023 were issued by Chairman Kang Shin-joon without approval from the Korean Sports Council."
