Ha Hyung-joo (62), chairman of the Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Foundation, expressed his determination to `Han Pan-seung' as an Olympic judo gold medalist in his vision for the development of Korean sports.
Chairman Ha, who recently took office as the chairman of the 14th Sports Corporation '1984 LA Olympics Judo Legend', held an inaugural interview at the Seoul Olympic Parktel on the 28th and explained his plans for the next three years.
Chairman Ha first laughed, saying, `I don't know well yet because I'm a Busan villager.'It has been a long-cherished dream to become the head of a public sports institution. Looking at the standing audit over the past year, the role, budget, and work importance of the corporation are enormous than I thought. I will work with a great sense of responsibility", he expressed his feelings about taking office.
Chairman Ha emphasized the strengthening of the corporation's capabilities with his unique outspokenness. It was regrettable that the employees of the industrial complex had good capabilities, but they seemed to be accustomed to the level of work that provided state subsidies. Even if our fund management team does a good job and generates 200 billion won in profits, the structure that does not feel rewarding is also unreasonable because the corporation cannot execute it independently."
In response, Chairman Ha believes that it is due to the lack of direction and philosophy. The purpose and purpose of the industrial complex will be re-established with the noble spirit of the Seoul Olympic Games"I will make a framework and strengthen the foundation to establish an accurate direction that will not be engulfed in the shaking of the political circle " he said.

Chairman Ha, who emphasized concentration and persistence, said, `My strength is that I only know one thing.' One of the projects focused on revitalizing school sports and reviving physical education middle and high schools. He said "The perception of school sports must change first. It's not just physical activity. Self-esteem is created by learning justice and consideration through sports, and sweating and overcoming painWe will devote a lot of support to further revitalize school sports that have been targeted for evasion. You can make a big difference through sports" he said.
It also presented a detailed blueprint for reviving sports middle and high schools in 16 cities and provinces nationwide. "With the groundbreaking improvement of the facilities of 16 metropolitan and provincial sports schools, it is necessary to convert them into base talent training schools in the region where parents want to send them. It would be enough to provide 5 billion won (a total of 80 billion won) per school. It also plans to invest a total of 100 billion won in each regional sports university to revitalize it as a regional hub sports university. Through cooperation with the Ministry of Education, we will push for a plan to raise 200 billion won in finances by covering 50% of the sports promotion fund and 50% of the Ministry of Education's budgetChairman Ha explained ".

Chairman Ha also criticized the recent crisis that has been exposed in the sports community, including the Korea Sports Association. There were many times when I cried thinking, 'What happened to him?'It is because the principles are broken and normalization is not achieved.Now is the time for experts to become the chairman of the Korea Sports Council. The perception of athletes is in the 21st century, but the method of central and local sports organizations is not out of date", he pointed out.
Asked if he would like to challenge the president of the Korea Sports Council someday, Chairman Ha said, `I hope that the president of the Korea Sports Council will be a person who has played sports with his whole body and can personally practice the value of sports. There are also many young juniors who have contributed to the world. I will take care of those juniors so that they can lead Korean physical education as professionalsHe also emphasized his role as a senior in the sports world and a `adult.'
Chairman Ha, who caused laughter several times with his rich Gyeongsang-do dialect and unique direct speech in the interview, looked grim when he expressed his big picture. "In the spirit of the principled Seoul Olympics, I will devote myself to making a decent country."
