A new era of sports dreamed of by the 42nd president-elect of the Korea Sports Council in Yoo Seung Min, the sketch of the Korea Sports Council, has been unveiled.
The Korea Sports Council held its 38th board meeting at the Olympic Parktel Seoul Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul at 2 p.m. on the 17th. Chairman Lee Ki-heung was not present at the last board meeting on the day, which concludes the four-year term of the 41st Lee Ki-heung executive. Chairman Lee announced his resignation shortly after losing the election to Yoo Seung Min (former IOC member, former president of the Korea Table Tennis Association) by 38 votes in the election for the chairman of the Korea Sports Council on the 14th of last month. The board of directors was held on this day by acting chairman Kim Oh-young (Chairman of Gyeongnam Sports Council), and 20 out of 35 directors attended.
On the third agenda of the day, an amendment to the organizational regulations was raised. This is a result that strongly reflects Yoo Seung Min's will to start his official term through the first general meeting of delegates on February 28. The plan is to reorganize the current organization of the 5 headquarters, 3 rooms, 19 rooms, 2 teams, and 1 center, 18 rooms, 5 rooms, and 1 center. The 'Athletic Village Operation Headquarters' was newly established at five existing headquarters, including the Planning and Coordination Headquarters, Sports Promotion Headquarters, Life and Sports Headquarters, International Headquarters, and Training Headquarters. The Office of the Audit, Public Relations, and Fair Sports Office were established in three existing offices, and the Fair Sports Office and the Legal Team were integrated into a five-room system. The temporarily operated IOC member support department became the secretary's office, and the foreign liaison office in Lausanne, Switzerland, was excluded from the system.
Having the marketing office directly under the chairman's control is a part of Chairman Yoo's special commitment to sports marketing and expanding the self-sustainability of the Korea Sports Council. When he was the president of the Korea Table Tennis Association, Yoo, a field-type administrator who plays on his feet, attracted sponsorships from large and medium-sized companies and showed outstanding capabilities. It is also notable that a player leader support department and a dream tree development department were established under the training headquarters in the athletes' village. As a former Athens Olympic table tennis gold medalist, his two sons are youth soccer players, have played for four Olympics, and he played as a player and coach at Samsung Life Insurance, Yoo is serious about the human rights and welfare of junior and senior leaders. President-elect Yoo emphasized this part at a meeting with the leaders of Jincheon National Training Center on the 14th.
In addition, the existing sports science department was reorganized into a medical center under the leadership of the athletes' village to strengthen sports medicine support for athletes, while giving the vice village head the role of operating a winter training center, managing and supporting winter sports.
