The appointment of Hong Myung-bo and Clinsman all concluded the problem... "It's not invalid."

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the results of an interim audit that there were several problems in the process of appointing the national soccer team coach.

However, I saw that the appointment of Hong Myung-bo itself was not invalid.

I'm connecting you with a reporter. Reporter Lee Daegun!

There was already some information known during the National Assembly's pending questions and the president's reporting process, but in the end, there was a problem, right?

[Reporter]
Hong Myung-bo and Clinsman saw the process of appointing former and current coaches as problems.

First of all, it was pointed out that Lee Im-saeng, who was not authorized to appoint Hong Myung-bo, recommended Hong as the final candidate.

We judged that the interview process for director Hong for the final recommendation was also opaque and unfair.

I also saw it as a problem that the board of directors formally passed a written resolution after announcing the appointment of the director.

Furthermore, in the wake of the controversy, the KFA concluded that it had violated the rules by distributing false rebuttal and press explanatory materials.

It also announced the results of an audit of former coach Klinsmann, who sparked controversy over the appointment of the national team coach.

First of all, Chairman Chung Mong-kyu said it was a problem that he disabled the function of the Power Reinforcement Committee and conducted interviews that the Power Reinforcement Committee should do.

He also explained that the omission of the board appointment process was revealed during the audit process.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism plans to ask the Korea Football Association to dispose of the result of the audit later this month.

The Football Association refuted this, didn't it?

[Reporter]
Yesterday, a day before the announcement, the Korea Football Association released the minutes of the controversial 10th Power Enhancement Committee meeting.

The minutes of the 10th meeting were the last discussion regarding the appointment of a director.

According to the minutes of the meeting, Jeong Hae-sung, chairman of the Korea Electric Power Reinforcement Committee, who was entrusted with full authority, resigned himself after reporting Hong Myung-bo as the first priority and foreign candidates as the second and third priority to the president of the association,
It is said that the technical director Lee Im-saeng, who took over the follow-up work of
, finally decided to be the director Hong and recommended it to the board of directors.

In short, it is a position that there is no problem with the process of appointing a director.

The day before yesterday (30th), head coach Hong Myung-bo first demanded the release of the minutes, saying he was unfair when the A-match list was announced in October.

First of all, both sides are in opposite positions, so what will happen to Hong Myung-bo and Chung Mong-gyu, the president of the Korea Football Association?

[Reporter]
There was a question about this at the press conference today.The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism responded, "The appointment itself is not invalid," to a reporter's question, "Is the procedure for appointing Hong Myung-bo legally invalid because there is a problem with the audit results

?"

Minister Yoo In-chon also said in an interview that the Korea Football Association should take care of whether or not to appoint a new national team coach.

Minister Yoo also publicly expressed his opposition to Chairman Chung Mong-gyu's fourth consecutive term whenever he had time.

Most recently, he pressed for voluntary resignation, saying, "I think it's honorable to decide on my own future."

In order to serve four consecutive terms, he has to go through the Korea Sports Council's Sports Fair Committee, but public opinion suggests that it is not honorable for Chairman Chung to decide his own future.
