Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, who was called back to the National Assembly a month after questioning pending issues at the Culture and Sports Committee last month, was criticized and criticized for various controversies and suspicions surrounding the association.
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu was present as a witness for the comprehensive inspection of the political affairs committee held at the National Assembly on Wednesday. It was the first time in a month since a question on pending issues was asked on April 24.
As in the current questionnaire, questions were asked about the alleged collusion between ▲ Hyundai Industrial Development and the Korea Football Association, ▲ controversy over unfairness and preferential treatment in the process of appointing the national soccer team coach, and ▲ controversy over the allocation of corporate cards within the Korea Football Association.
The Korea Football Association has been under audit by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism since July. Initially, the goal was to announce the results at the end of October, but it is taking more time because there are many issues to look into during the audit process, an official from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said in a phone call with this newspaper.
The problem in the process of appointing a national team coach, which received a lot of attention, was revealed earlier. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism first announced the results of a specific audit on the appointment of the national team coach before the final announcement of the audit on the 2nd.
At the time, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said, “A defect was found in the appointment of a director.” Regarding the appointment of Klinsmann, the ministry pointed out that ▲ neutralizing the power reinforcement committee and ▲ missing the process of appointing the final director candidate by the chairman himself, ▲ missing the process of appointing the board of directors. Regarding the appointment of Hong Myung-bo, the ministry cited ▲ the recommendation of the final director candidate by the technical director who is not authorized under the regulations, ▲ the process of interviewing opaque and unfair supervisors, ▲ the process of appointing the director and the formal process of appointing the board of directors after the announcement.
On the appointment process of Klinsmann and Hong Myung-bo, Chairman Chung Mong-gyu said, “I do not think it is unfair. Hong was the No. 1 candidate at the time. He was leading his team in the K League 1 among the final candidates. The other two candidates met first because they were unemployed. We could not have had the same interview with other candidates because we had a team.”
“There was no case that the committee did not select a person who was recommended. The association’s budget is also public, so it should be saved. There were times when it was submitted before the decision was made, but it never neutralized the role of the committee. I am confident.”
“The process of appointing a director has been disclosed through various channels. I am concerned that there will be problems in the process of appointing a coach at home and abroad in the future,” he said. “We cannot say that we are 100% good at what we do, but we are proceeding according to the procedure.” 메이저사이트
As for the construction of the Cheonan Football Center, questions continued over its close ties with Hyundai Industrial Development Co., owned by Chairman Chung Mong-gyu. Regarding the preparation of an advisory service contract between the Korea Football Association and Hyundai Industrial Development Co., Ltd., Chung Mong-gyu denied the allegation of privatization of the Korea Football Association, saying, “Hyundai Industrial Development has not benefited from the construction of the Korea Football Association,” adding, “The Korea Football Association has no construction experts. As a result, the organization has signed an advisory contract to ensure good management of the construction company (Dongbu Construction). If the company provides external services, the company will incur expenses amounting to 30 billion won to 4 billion won. Instead, he just helped Dongbu Engineering & Construction do well through the know-how of Hyundai Industrial Development staff.”
