“While the ruling and opposition parties were engaged in a sharp debate, they reached two agreements. The other thing different from the Nobel Prize celebration by Han Kang is the unfairness of the Korea Football Association.”
Chung Mong-kyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, sweated during a comprehensive audit of the National Assembly’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee held on the 24th. He did not attend the parliamentary audit on the 22nd due to his overseas business trip, but he attended on that day.
Following last month’s pending questions, the general audit also addressed the appointment of the national team coach, the controversy over the privatization of the Korea Football Association, and the use of corporate cards.
Rep. Kang Yoo-jung of the main opposition Minjoo Party first asked Chairman Chung why he brought up the issue of technical director Lee Im-saeng’s hospitalization. When Min Hyung-bae of the main opposition Minjoo Party asked if his intention to resign has been processed, Chairman Chung said that the technical director was hospitalized as he was traumatized.
Chairman Chung said that the technical director was hospitalized due to mental trauma and was discharged last week after inquiring about pending issues last month. “We will discuss resignation soon,” he said.
Lawmaker Kang asked Chairman Chung why he had to take public time to talk about technical director Lee’s hospitalization, asking, “How will the people handle the shock and stress they have received since the appointment of former coach Jurgen Klinsmann?”
“While the ruling and opposition parties were engaged in sharp debate at the Culture and Sports Committee, we reached two agreements,” he said. “It is about celebration of Han Kang’s Nobel Prize and unfairness of the Korea Football Association. It was an issue that the ruling and opposition parties did not object to.”
The 18th Ponyjung Innovation Award ceremony was the first official award of a Korean writer who received the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday. Coincidentally, the chairman of the Ponyjung Foundation is Chung. He also congratulated a writer at the ceremony.
Meanwhile, Chairman Chung declined to comment on whether he would seek a second term on the day following a questioning on pending issues. When asked why he is seeking a fourth term when the Korea Football Association’s labor union is also urging him not to run, Rep. Cho Kye-won of the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea raised his voice, saying, “Have you ever said you would run for a fourth term?” When asked again, “Why can’t you say you’ll wrap it up?” he replied, “I’ll judge on my own.”
Bae Hyun-jin, a lawmaker of People’s Power, also asked Chairman Chung, “Why do you want to continue as chairman for more than 10 years that the strong and strong mountains change once?” Chairman Chung replied, “I have until January next year, so I think we should finish it well.” 메이저사이트
When asked if he has a plan to serve a second term, Chairman Chung said, “I have never said such a thing.” When Rep. Bae asked, “Do you have any intention of challenging (the chairman’s) position again?” he declined to say, “I will make a decision after considering various factors.” Then Rep. Bae asked, “Do you think it’s not me?” and Chairman Chung said, “No.”
Rep. Park Soo-hyun of the main opposition Minjoo Party said, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself as a businessman?” “I don’t understand why you are criticized and reprimanded for sticking to such a position. Isn’t it much better to focus on business?”
Chairman Chung said, “I think we should do our best as the president of the association for the development of soccer,” adding, “The company is also trying to manage well and pay a lot of taxes and help the national economy.”
