The aftermath of the emergency martial law has also affected sports.

The head of the UFC has canceled his visit to Korea, and the election of the chairman of various sports organizations, including the Korean Sports Council, is also in a mood that creates variables in the political situation.

This is reporter Cho Eun-ji.

Dana White, the head of the mixed martial arts UFC, a close aide to U.S. President-elect Trump, canceled her trip to Korea the day after the emergency.

This weekend's plans to watch the competition in person, film YouTube, and interview the media all fell through.

[Jung Chan-sung / Mixed martial arts fighter: Dayna has been canceled. I'm so.... I'm still laughing in vain.]

[Dayna White / UFC President:: I was really looking forward to it. I've never been there. I will definitely go to Korea in 2025.]

The chaebol owner, who decided to run for the president of the Korean Sports Council, is also said to have stepped out immediately after the martial law incident.

Chairman Lee Ki-heung, who has been suspended due to an all-round investigation, is likely to seek a third term in a chaotic political situation, and seven opposition candidates are struggling to discuss unification or promote policies amid media apathy.

Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, who has been eligible for a fourth consecutive term, announced a press conference for his candidacy on the 19th.

Lee Ki-heung, Chung Mong-gyu, and the two chairmen, including Culture Minister Yoo In-chon, who insisted that they would not approve even if they were elected, expressed their resignation, making it possible for them to serve consecutive terms.

The sports world is relatively quiet compared to the culture and arts world, where big and small statements are made.

Ahead of this week's world tour in Korea, "short track champion" Park Ji-won said she will give strength to the people.

[Park Ji-won / National short track team: I understand that many people are going through a difficult time. So that our game can be a little bit of strength....]

{Volleyball Empress}Kim Yeon-koung's Heungkuk Life has continued its 13th consecutive win, and men's and women's professional basketball is also in the midst of fierce competition for rankings.
