Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Yoo In-chon has called for the resignation of Chung Mong-kyu, the president of the Korea Football Association.
“I think it’s honorable for him to decide to leave on his own,” Yoo said on CBS Radio’s Kim Hyun-jung’s news show on Tuesday, 토토사이트 referring to Chung.

Yoo said, “(Chung) is running for a fourth consecutive term. Originally, they (the Korea Football Association) were only supposed to have two presidents, but the Fair Play Committee allowed him to serve three terms,” Yoo said. “I have to go through the process again for a fourth term, but if you listen to the public opinion these days, I personally think it’s more honorable to decide on your own,” he added.
Earlier, Yoo had also expressed a negative stance on Chung’s bid for a fourth term at a plenary meeting of the National Assembly’s Committee on Culture, Sports and Tourism on March 26, saying, “Basically, he shouldn’t be allowed to run for a fourth term,” adding, “However, if the Sports Fairness Committee of the Korea Sports Association gives him permission, he can (run for a fourth term), and if the committee is really fair, it will be difficult for him to run again.”
According to the articles of association of the Korean Football Association, the president is eligible for a four-year term and can only serve one consecutive term. However, an exception to the limit can be granted after deliberation by the Sports Fairness Committee of the Korea Sports Federation.
When asked if there were any problems in the process of selecting Hong Myung-bo as the head coach of the national soccer team, Minister Yoo replied, “I know that there were some procedural problems, as many media outlets have already reported.” “The Ministry of Culture will definitely point out any problems,” he said, adding, ”Whether the federation accepts it and appoints a new head coach or goes through the process again and keeps Hong as head coach is up to them.”
Regarding an agent’s claim on social media that the KFA ignored a number of overseas managers, including Hervé Renard, who expressed their support for the job, and instead appointed Hong with a higher salary, Yoo said he would check the facts.
