This is because the court cited some of the injunction filed by former chairman Kim, saying that the election process for the 32nd chairman was unreasonable.
According to Sports Chosun's report on the 15th, the Civil Agreement Department of the Seoul Eastern District Court, which has been hearing former chairman Kim's request for a provisional injunction, ruled earlier in the day that Kim should be included in the registration of candidates for presidential election.
Former chairman Kim filed an injunction with the court on the 9th, strongly protesting when he was invalidated by the Election Commission during the registration process for the presidential election on the 8th.
As a result of examining the reasons for disqualification of candidates in accordance with the relevant regulations, the Election Management Committee was booked for embezzlement and breach of public funds and was recommended by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the decision to register candidates is invalidated in accordance with Article 13 of the Presidential Election Regulations (Candidates' Qualifications) and Article 26 (1) 12 of the association's articles of association.

In response, the court accepted the demand for injunction No. 1 and 2 of the request, saying that the 32nd presidential election should be held by including applicant Kim Taek-kyu as a candidate, and did not decide whether to suspend the presidential election scheduled for the 16th.
The court's decision was reportedly due to flaws in the legitimacy of the election management committee, including some members of the unqualified (political party) in the association's election management committee, which decided not to allow former chairman Kim to register as a candidate.
As a result, the election for the chairman of the Badminton Association also experienced great confusion. With one day left before the election day, a new election management committee should be set up, and a decision on whether to proceed with the election on the 16th as scheduled should be made.
The 32nd presidential election will be held in a four-way race, followed by Choi Seung-tak, former president of the Daegu Badminton Association, Jeon Kyung-hoon, former president of the Korea Federation of Business Badminton, and Kim Dong-moon, professor of Wonkwang University.
