Chairman Chung Mong-kyu, the head of the Korea Football Association, will appear at the National Assembly once again.

Chairman Chung is scheduled to appear as a witness at a comprehensive audit of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee on the 24th.

On the 22nd, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Ministry also called Chairman Chung for an audit of the sports sector, but he did not appear on an overseas business trip.

According to an official from the Korea Football Association, Chung visited the Dominican Republic to observe the 2024 U-17 Women's World Cup at the invitation of FIFA and returned home after completing his business trip.

Chairman Chung will attend the general audit scheduled today and make a head-on breakthrough.

It is expected that various issues that were addressed during the National Assembly's stylistic committee's questioning last month will be discussed in more depth.

First, there are suspicions related to the process of appointing Hong Myung-bo.
At the time of the questioning on the pending issue, Chairman Chung attended the meeting with director Hong, technical director Lee Im-saeng and former chairman of the Korea Electric Power Reinforcement Committee Jeong Hae-sung to express his position that there was no problem with the appointment process. 안전놀이터

Chairman Chung also said, "The reason why we failed to explain the process of selecting the national team coach at that time is because we judged that the process itself deserves sufficient protection."

However, suspicions continue to be raised that Hong received preferential treatment unlike foreign director candidates, and a serious situation is unfolding that the technical director responsible for the appointment of the director is on the verge of being accused of perjury.

There is also a controversy raised during the construction of the Cheonan Football Center.

Earlier, Bae Hyun-jin, a member of the National Assembly's stylistic committee, disclosed a contract for advisory services on the construction of the Cheonan Football Center, claiming that the Korea Football Association signed an advisory contract with HDC Hyundai Industrial Development, a subsidiary of Chairman Chung, contrary to Chung's testimony.

However, an official from the Korea Football Association explained, "The advisory service contract proposed by Rep. Bae was signed at the construction stage," adding, "Before that, we received help from HDC Hyundai Development without a separate contract in the process of conducting design projects such as design contests and recruiting related personnel."

The possibility of Chairman Chung's bid for a fourth consecutive term is also expected to be addressed.

Currently, Chairman Chung has announced that Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Yoo In-chon will not allow him to serve consecutive terms, and is also being urged by the Korea Football Association's union to declare that he will not run for the election.

At the time of the questioning on the pending issue, Chairman Chung also expressed an ambiguous position, saying, "I will open up all possibilities for the development of Korean soccer and make a decision after careful consideration."

Attention is focusing on whether Chairman Chung will be able to resolve numerous suspicions related to the Korea Football Association during the intensive parliamentary audit of the government.
