Oct 24, 2024

'Usaengsoon Legend' Rep. Lim Oh-kyung of the Democratic Party of Korea demanded an apology from Rep. Jin Jong-oh of the People's Power.

On the morning of the 24th, in his remarks before the start of the comprehensive audit of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, a scene in which the seniors and juniors sharply confronted each other was created.

The starting point was the controversy over the 'kickboxing fake chairman' sparked by the National Audit Office of the Sports Committee on the 22nd. The reference person's unexpected remarks led to extreme confrontation between the ruling and opposition party's sportsmen. Kim Jong-min, president of the Korea Kick Boxing Association, who Jin requested as a witness, and Kang Shin-joon, former chairman, who requested as a reference, fought the truth, saying that each other went through due process. In the process, former president of the association Kang hit Rep. Lim directly. Rep. Lim pointed out the illegal kickboxing and rough-and-ready short test conducted under former chairman Kang during last year's parliamentary audit that was not approved by the Sports Council, and former chairman Kang made a shocking statement that the person whose recording was released made an extreme choice, saying that the transcript presented as the evidence was "all fabricated." In a furious atmosphere, Jeon Jae-soo, chairman of the stylistic committee, requested an official apology from former chairman Kang.

Immediately after the start of the comprehensive inspection of the committee on the 24th, Rep. Lim mentioned the case through his personal remarks and proceedings. `"On the 22nd, Rep. Kang Shin-joon, a reference to Rep. Jin Jong-oh, committed indescribable insults and defamation against me, and the National Assembly was also deceived.' "The media, which covered the remarks for two days, also confirmed that a kickboxing official was Kang Shin-joon." "Kang Shin-joon's remarks were false" Kang Shin-joon, a reference witness, falsely testified that Chairman Kim Jong-min of the Witnesses said, "It is not even a matter for Lim Oh-kyung to turn over an innocent person and send him to his cell," which blasphemed me and the National Assembly members."I never said that, of course. It's out of place in the world these days." "The recording I released was also the voice of another director I knew."The reference person claimed that he had sent an official letter to the members to organize a director of Seocho-gu After checking through media outlets that covered the remarks at the time, it was revealed as Kang Shin-joon's voice. "As a query, the director in the transcript falsely claimed that he had made an extreme choice. I will make it clear in an afternoon questioning..." Rep. Lim then said, "(According to the report on the progress of the Kickboxing Association dispute presented by the Sports Promotion Department of the Korean Sports Association, Chairman Kang Shin-joon was ruled not legitimate because he was not approved by the Sports Association."It turned out to be a fake chairman, he said." "The reference person insulted the member of the National Assembly conducting the parliamentary audit and confused the sacred parliamentary audit. "I apologize to Rep. Jin Jong-oh for calling such a reference," he said. "I call a reference without clear verification and demand an apology from Rep. Jin Jong-oh for defaming me."

In response, Rep. Jin Jong-oh of the People's Power made it clear that he had no intention of apologizing. Rep. Jin said, `You are asking me to apologize for the reference Kang Shin-joon's remarks, but I can't control the reference person's remarks" made a statement. "It is right to call the informant to inquire about the illegality based on the informant's data", he explained "Kim Jong-min, a witness, called him as a reference in a situation where he campaigned for the chairman of the Korea Sports and Olympic Committee", and "I would like to say that I cannot respond to Lim's request for an apology". Lim Oh-kyung demanded an apology again. "The National Assembly should play a role in monitoring and correcting the reference person's impersonation of Kickboxing chairman. We repeatedly demand an apology from Rep. Jin who deceived the National Assembly by calling him as a reference without finding out the truth." In the wake of a tense confrontation between senior and junior members of the sports community and lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties, Jeon Jae-soo, chairman of the stylistic committee, organized the situation. "The report on the progress of the Korean Sports Council is in front of the lawmakers. A reference interrogation is also scheduled in the afternoon. "Since witness questioning is scheduled for these two (Kim Jong-min, chairman Kang Shin-joon), I will watch the interrogation process and judge lawmaker Lim Oh-kyung's personal remarks." `I would like to inform you that there is a summary of the KOC's progress report on the table, but this is not all,' Rep. Jin said in a question on the afternoon 'Kick Boxing Chairman', signaling a fierce battle of truth.
