Former national team coach Huh Jung-moo, who is running for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association, once again emphasized punishment for current chairman Chung Mong-gyu.

Candidate Huh pointed out in a press release on the 17th, "Although the presidential election was postponed due to the court's decision on the provisional disposition, the Korea Football Association still does not properly recognize or ignore the court's warning that the importance of opacity and illegality is significant enough to affect the election results in the provisional disposition decision."

"The dogmatic, opaque, and unfairness of the association's operation shown by the previous candidate Chung Mong-gyu system continues under the acting system of Kim Jung-bae," he said.

Candidate Huh Jung-moo, current chairman Chung Mong-gyu, and visiting professor of the Shinmun Myungji University are currently listed as candidates for the election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association.

Initially, the election for the new president of the Korea Football Association was scheduled to take place on the 8th. However, on December 30 last year, candidate Huh Jung-moo, who ran as a candidate for the election, raised the issue, saying, "The Korea Football Association unfairly conducted the election schedule for the president of the association," and "There is no way to confirm the formation of the election management committee." He also protested, saying, "The election is held offline only, and this effectively excludes professional team leaders and players participating in winter training."

Candidate Heo also raised the issue with the 173-member electors, 21 fewer than the regulation (up to 194), citing the failure to submit the consent form to provide personal information. At the time, candidate Huh Jung-moo said, "The association's election management committee is an organization that performs important functions for fair election management, such as determining and allocating the number of electors and making a list of electors, and it manages elections unfairly and opaquely."

Candidate Huh made a super-strong decision to apply for an injunction against the suspension of the election to the court for the above reasons, and the court cited it and there was an unprecedented case in which the election was suspended. In the process, the election was postponed once to the 23rd. However, when the issue of forming members of the election management committee emerged additionally, all the election committee resigned.

In addition, the National Election Commission's consignment process was finally rejected, and the soccer association's election schedule has been virtually postponed indefinitely.

In addition, Chung Mong-gyu was asked by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to impose severe disciplinary measures such as suspension of qualification or higher. The inspection revealed 27 violations including surprise amnesty and withdrawal of soccer players, execution of subsidies and profit-taking related to the construction of the Cheonan Football Center.

"The Korea Football Association decided to suspend the presidential election on July 7 and then hold a meeting with the presidential candidate on September 9 to discuss the election process," Huh Jung-moo said in a press release. "The committee canceled the election schedule and resigned in the face of strong protests and criticism from other candidates. It showed a side of arbitrary and unilateral election management."

On top of that, he also voiced his criticism on holding a board meeting on the 14th. "The Korea Football Association has decided to form a new election management committee by the end of this month, get approval from the board of directors in early February, and start working on the presidential election," Huh said. However, candidates running for election did not know about this until it was reported in the media, and have not received any contact until now. "There were media reports that the commission of the presidential election to the National Election Commission was canceled, but there was no notice from the candidate," he said.

"For the past 12 years, the Korea Football Association has not only disgraced soccer diplomacy but also failed to participate in the Olympics due to the arbitrary, opaque, incompetent, and unfair operation of the association under Chung Mong-gyu, and the situation has led to the collapse of Korean soccer without participating in the Olympics," Huh said. "Many executives, including Chung Mong-gyu, have even been criticized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for illegal and unfair business handling, and are being demanded to be severely disciplined." However, the Korea Football Association has not even held a meeting with the Fair Trade Commission to deliberate on illegal matters, ignoring the directives of the competent authorities, and is claiming to be a bodyguard for Chung's fourth consecutive term as a candidate."

Finally, candidate Huh warned executives of the current executive branch, whose term ends on the 21st, 안전놀이터 "First, hold a fair committee immediately to accept the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's demand for severe disciplinary action. If you are thinking of neutralizing the heavy punishment of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism by electing candidate Chung Mong-kyu through an election, it would be wise to give up early."
