“The leak to the media had an impact.”
Chung Mong-kyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, attended a comprehensive audit of six public organizations, including the Korean Sports and Tourism Committee under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul on the 24th.
Chung did not attend on Tuesday, citing his visit to the Dominican Republic to observe the 2024 U-17 Women’s World Cup. However, he attended the event as a witness.
Min Hyung-bae of the Minjoo Party compared the criteria for appointing Hong Myung-bo and Shin Sang-woo as the coach of the women’s national team. He also pointed out that Hong Myung-bo was not chosen in a fair process of appointment.
Rep. Min Hyung-bae explained, “After the pending questions were over, the process for the appointment of Shin Sang-woo as normal.” “In the appointment of Shin Sang-woo, interviews were conducted according to the regulations, and there was a systematic quantitative evaluation. After the board’s resolution, the appointment of the director was carried out,” he said, “On the other hand, there were violations of regulations during the interview process for Hong Myung-bo, and subjective evaluations were made based on the rule. And after the appointment of the director, the board’s resolution was carried out.”
In response, Chairman Chung Mong-gyu replied, “The recommendation of the director Lee Im-saeng was virtually completed after the 10th meeting, and the process for signing the contract was carried out. I think there was enough discussion in the final decision process.” When Rep. Min Hyung-bae, who received the answer, asked back, “I wonder if I could have done well like the process of appointing Shin Sang-woo, but I just didn’t do it, or if I had any intentions,” Chairman Chung Mong-gyu explained, “It is true that there were insufficient parts. We proceeded well according to the regulations.”
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu said, “The appointment of Hong Myung-bo was delayed for five months when he was appointed. I tried to appoint a foreign coach through various trials and errors, but went to another country and eventually appointed Hong. The leak to the media affected the appointment of the coach. I can’t say I’m perfectly good at everything. However, I worked hard according to the regulations. There have always been many controversies and objections in the process of appointing a coach.”

In the end, if information leakage is a problem, the power reinforcement committee itself, led by Chairman Chung Hae-sung, is a problem. 먹튀검증

After the dismissal of Jurgen Klinsmann, information on Chairman Chung Hae-sung’s power reinforcement committee was constantly leaked. It was already leaked to the media before the meeting was concluded. As Chairman Chung Mong-gyu said, the negotiators negotiating with the KFA were in an advantageous situation as information security was not achieved.
The committee’s assessment as the “worst power reinforcement committee” is accurate. Notably, Chairman Chung took no responsibility for the failure of men’s soccer to advance to the 2024 Paris Olympics. Chairman Chung, who made irresponsible remarks that he would take responsibility for himself, left the committee irresponsibly even when he was appointed as a coach.
As the worst continues, the government is under constant criticism at the parliamentary audit. This is the reality of the KFA.
