On the 14th of last month, a month after he was elected president of the Korean Sports Council, Yoo, the president-elect of the Korean Sports Council, visited Jincheon Training Center as his first official move since the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's inauguration last week. After being briefed on the current status of the athletes' village, he closely visited the training planning department, the athletes' village management department, the medical department, the training support department, and the training grounds for each sport, including archery, weightlifting, fencing, and wrestling, to communicate closely with employees, leaders, and athletes.

National team leaders and athletes met at the training site warmly welcomed Yoo, a senior, junior, and colleague who returned to the head of the Korean Olympic Committee. They waved their hands to see if it would interfere with the training, but the leaders and players seemed to be willing to welcome the new head. President-elect Yoo, who faced the aces of the Paris Olympics, including Kim Woo-jin, at the archery range, cheered for you at the Paris Olympics last year. The world's strongest archery team was amazing. We will continue to provide active support so that there will be no difficulties in training"I promised. At the Pensingjiang, Won Woo-young, coach of the men's sabre team who spent his time with President-elect Yoo during the Taereung period, welcomed and met. In front of the world's strongest 'The Avengers', Yoo said "I was also a former player who spent longer than anyone else in the athletes' village. I watched the Olympics with great admiration. "I know how much I have to concentrate on each knife tip and how hard I have to work to show such performance. If you want anything, please feel free to tell me. I will do my best to support you so that you can concentrate on your exercise"I promised. At the wrestling training ground, coach Ahn Han-bong welcomed 'Legend'. He presented a wrestling uniform for Yoo. "Seeing you train today makes me confident that wrestling can be at the top of the world again," Yoo said. Wrestling teams say, "Yoo Seung Min, way to go! Wrestling, fighting!cried " At the weightlifting venue, he listened to the barbell himself, encouraged young athletes to cheer up, and cheered "I will win a medal for sure."

After touring the medical center and weight training site, Yoo held a meeting with national leaders in the Grand Auditorium of the Champion House to listen to their opinions and grievances. Leaders of each event delivered what they wanted from the new chairman without hesitation, and delivered their respective messages on the Taegeukgi. Yoo, who is more serious about the human rights of the leader than anyone else, listened to and took notes from the leaders. After the meeting, Yoo had lunch with athletes from 15 sports in the athletes' village, including archery Kim Woo-jin and fencing Do Kyung-dong. Yoo seemed to communicate with his junior players without hesitation. Players expressed various opinions on Wi-Fi issues in Jincheon Training Center and securing partners in speculative events such as wrestling. President-elect Yoo comfortably pushed his back, saying, `The players who finished their meal should go in first because they have to rest before afternoon training, but the players stayed until the end.

`It feels like I'm back home,' Yoo said. `The president of the Korean Olympic Committee wanted to work with you instead of trying for me.' "I've had enough food to eat in the athletes' village, but I think the center of the administration is the players and leaders. I thought I had a role to play in that area," he said, expressing the sincerity of the challenge. "I know you have high expectations for me. He didn't try to take the chairmanship for a four-year term to enjoy something. We will create an environment where you can work out excitedly while communicating with leaders and players. I will be a chairman who does not just listen to your opinions but carries out them. He will be officially inaugurated on the 28th. I can't be full in the first drink, but if you support me from a long-term perspective, I promise to meet my expectations."
