'Usaengsoon Legend' Rep. Lim Oh-kyung (Secretary of the Democratic Party of Korea) made a clear voice for the Korean Sports Council and junior players under the new chairman of Yoo Seung Min.

At a plenary session of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee on the 5th, Rep. Lim pointed out a series of pending issues, including the sharp budget for sports, the budget for the Jangheung Sports Human Resources Development Institute completed at the end of last year, and difficulties due to private contracts for sports organizations.

Rep. Lim said to Chairman Yoo Seung Min, `As the Ministry of Culture and Sports decided to directly issue 41.6 billion won in the budget for sports this year to local governments, there are many concerns about the poor and poor and the imbalance between sports. As the new chairman, how he intends to solve these problems and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism suspended private contracts and exclusive supply rights to official sponsors last year, low-quality uniforms were supplied to players due to low-cost bidding at the Harbin Winter Asian Games. Recruitment of sponsors is expected to be difficult now, and how to solve this problem, and how to solve this problem was not reflected due to opposition from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Human Resources Development Institute of Jangheung and Lausanne Office in Switzerland completed late last year."

Regarding the reduction of the project due to the reduction of the budget for sports for all, Chairman Yoo Seung Min said "Starting this year, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has given each local government the budget for sports for all for the first time." Until now, I understand that the Korean Sports Council has served as a control tower for all sports. There was a sports center for all and had expertise. Minister Yoo and Vice Minister Jang Mi-ran said, "Let's discuss a good direction through a meeting." "When it comes to marketing revenue, the field is more regrettable than the Korean Sports Council." It currently relies on state subsidies for 97% of its budget and lacks its own budget. Only with its own budget can it distribute the budget to leaders and players throughout the province. I hope that Members will help ease regulations regarding marketing and private contracts, taking into account our specificity." The Jangheung Human Resources Development Institute was built before I came, so I don't know much about it. However, I think the importance and utilization of sportsmen in terms of education is greatIt is embarrassing that the budget cannot be drawn up as soon as he takes office. It is not clear whether the budget should be issued by analyzing the data or using its own budget. I was confronted with this even before I took office, and I need help" made a statement. "The Lausanne office is in its early days of operation. Since it has only been operating for a year, there is no data to use for performance or standards. Jeonbuk (Jeonju) was selected as the city applying for the 2036 Olympics, and I think it will be necessary if it provides a clear basis for its use" expressed his opinion.

In this regard, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Yoo In-chon agreed that the uniforms of the athletes during the Harbin Winter Olympics were "unusual", but the audit produced bad results related to private contracts, not ordered by the Ministry of Culture. There were problems, such as random distribution by the Korea Sports Association and the Korea Badminton Association. As it was decided to proceed through the public offering in the future, 'Harbin Uniform' was bid at a low price and set as a cheap clothing' explained the process. "This part can be improved through discussions in the future," he added. He then argued that `the Jangheung Sports and Human Resources Development Institute and the Lausanne budget were done as promised, not given.' "In the case of Jangheung, once it was built, the local government was promised to pay the maintenance fee. The Lausanne office was also supposed to pay only one year of maintenance fees. The commitment has not resulted in this year's budget being drawn up.' Minister Yoo then said "Lozan, Switzerland, is a place with many international organizations. We are studying a way to change this and utilize it in other ways, he said, suggesting an alternative.

Rep. Lim Oh-kyung also emphasized on-the-job policies for junior student athletes, including the abolition of the minimum education system and the preservation of the Taeneung International Skating Center. When Minister Yoo In-chon said "I also oppose the minimum education system," Rep. Lim said "It has not been abolished yet. Please actively participate in the abolition of the minimum education system." Lawmaker Lim then emphasized the need to expand infrastructure for the use of heritage facilities for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, including Gangneung Arena. "In order to create student-athletes who study, infrastructure for adjacent areas must be in place. Parents cannot commute to Gangneung from dawn for the children of student-athletes"If you want to use Gangneung Ice Rink, please build infrastructure such as international schools and dormitories specializing in winter sports nearby." Give a gift to the Korean Sports Council, where Chairman Yoo Seung Min is newly appointed. Please actively participate in the abolition of the minimum education system."
