The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will conduct an audit of the Korea Sports Council and the Korea Football Association for three weeks from the 2nd to the 20th of next month. With the atmosphere of the next presidential election heating up in earnest in December, it is an intense audit of both organizations directly organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which is the 'management supervision department'. Lee Ki-heung, chairman of the Korea Sports Council, submitted an expression of his intention to register as a candidate for the chairman of the Korea Sports Council on the 26th. Around the 2nd of next month, when the audit begins, the results of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's application for a suspension of execution for the suspension of the chairman of the sports committee will be released. If Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, declares his bid for the fourth term, his job will be suspended from the 2nd of next month when the audit begins.
Controversy over the reduction of the dismissal ceremony at the Paris Olympics and criticism of Ahn Se-young's determination of the Badminton Korea Association continues. In October, the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee continued to criticize the operation of the Paris Olympics observers, private contracts, and illegal recruitment, and from October 8 to November 8, the Office for Government Policy Coordination's public service inspection team conducted a month-long intensive investigation into the Korea Sports Council and requested eight executives and employees, including Chairman Lee, to investigate allegations of illegal recruitment, bribery, embezzlement and breach of trust. In response to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's request for a public interest audit, the Board of Audit and Inspection conducted a preliminary survey of the Korea Sports and Tourism on November 5-15, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will begin the audit again in about 15 days.It is reported that the audit results will be announced around the 23rd, a day before December 24-25, the registration date for the 42nd president of the Korea Sports Council. After all, the election is up to the sportsmen and the electors. The key is whether the `concrete' votes against Chairman Lee will be affected by the audit of the relay, worsening public opinion and all-round pressure from political circles.
In the case of the Korea Football Association, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's audit office conducted an on-site audit on procedural problems, inappropriate administrative processing and work practices in the national team selection process from July 24 to August 30 and released a November audit report. This time, it is reported that the company will focus on the details of corporate card use, accounting and finance related to the construction of the Cheonan Football Center.
