With the 55th KFA presidential election held on the 26th, soccer circles are declaring their support for Chung. Starting with Baek Hyun-sik, president of the Busan Football Association, the Korea Football Leaders Association, the Seoul Football Association, Kang Sung-deok, president of the Chungbuk Football Association, Park Sung-wan, president of the Chungnam Football Association, Kim Soon-gong, president of the Sejong Football Association, Seo Kang-il, president of the Jeonbuk Football Association, Incheon Football Association, Lee Seok-jae, president of the Gyeonggi-do Football Association, Lim Jong-sung, president of the Gyeongbuk Football Association, Kwon Eun-dong, president of the Gangwon-do Football Association, and Yoon Il, president of the Jeju-do Football Association, publicly declared their support.
Initially, the presidential election was scheduled to be held on the 8th of last month. However, it was postponed on the 7th, a day before the election, when the court cited Huh Jung-moo's application for an injunction against the election ban. The Election Commission has rescheduled the election for Jan. 23. However, as candidates Huh Jung-moo and Shin Moon-sun protested again, all members of the election management committee resigned. The second election also went up in smoke.
A new election management committee has been set up, and the election campaign is currently in full swing. The election management committee decided to keep Chung Mong-kyu, a visiting professor of sports record analysis at the Shinmun Myungji University School of Records and Information Science, and Huh Jung-moo, former chairman of Hana Citizen in Daejeon.
Candidate Chung Mong-gyu has been circling the country in earnest since the 16th, when the official campaign period began. On the first day of the campaign, he visited Daeguimbank PARK, where the K League 1 opening match between Daegu FC and Gangwon FC was held, and continued on-site communication by visiting K League clubs, referees, leaders, and clubs in the metropolitan area on the 17th and 18th. He visited the Honam area on the 19th and plans to visit the site where the electors are located throughout the country until the 26th, when the election is held.
Even when the election was suspended, candidate Chung Mong-gyu did not stop communicating on the spot. He visited Tongyeong, Yeongdeok, Hapcheon, etc., where elementary, middle and high school competitions were held, encouraged and cheered the players, and also attended soccer players' events in Busan, Jeonju, and Osong.
Candidate Chung Mong-gyu's camp continues to communicate in various ways by using phone calls, SNS, and videos as well as visiting the site directly. In particular, the personnel video being sent to each elector is receiving good responses from the electors. It sent a video of 192 electors within a minute with messages of greetings and support. The video contains messages written to each voter. Many electors who received the carefully crafted 'personalized' video are responding by sending a response message", he explained.
Candidate Chung Mong-gyu also started his SNS activities last month when the election was suspended. It is taking steps to visit soccer players and is using it as a central axis of the campaign by delivering messages related to elections and soccer.
