The election for the head of the Korea Football Association (KFA) is in turmoil. The election scheduled on Sunday has also been canceled. The election for the 55th KFA head, which was originally scheduled on Friday, was postponed due to the court's decision, but the schedule was canceled due to the resignation of all members of the election management committee.먹튀검증

The Korea Football Association said in an official announcement on the afternoon of the 10th, "The election schedule (drawing on the 12th, election on the 23rd) announced yesterday (on the 9th) was canceled as all members of the election management committee expressed their intention to resign on the afternoon of the 10th. The Korea Football Association will discuss general matters related to the presidential election, including the reorganization of the election management committee, and will inform you again sometime next week."

Earlier in the day, the Korea Football Association's election management committee announced, "Although the court did not take issue with the procedure or composition of the association's election management committee itself, several baseless accusations and protests have been raised. We tried to collect opinions from candidates for the smooth progress of the election while respecting the purpose of the court's decision, but as only malicious slander continued, all the members decided to resign because they judged it was impossible for the committee to fulfill its responsibilities normally."

The election to select the 55th president of the Korea Football Association was originally scheduled to take place on the 8th, with current chairman Chung Mong-kyu, former professor of Myongji University Shin Moon-sun, and former national team coach Huh Jung-moo as candidates. However, candidate Huh Jung-moo filed an application for a provisional injunction against the election to the court, pointing out the illegality of the election process, and the election was canceled in the first place as the court cited it a day before the election (7th).

Later, the association rescheduled the meeting for the 23rd, but controversy continued as candidates Huh Jung-moo and Shinmun-seon strongly protested. The delayed election was scheduled to be held on the 13th to 15th of the electorate list. The list of electors, which was pointed out as a problem, was planned to be re-routed on the 12th, and the list of electors was scheduled to be finalized on the 16th of the 23rd of the election campaign period from 16th to 22nd. The list of electors, which was pointed out as a problem, was planned to be finalized on the 16th after a period of three days from the 13th to check and correct personal information by accessing the list of electors.

However, candidates Huh Jung-moo and Shin Moon-sun said, "It is a one-sided decision that we do not agree on. The association is rushing to hold an election before Chairman Chung Mong-gyu loses his candidacy after receiving a request for severe disciplinary action from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism." Huh's side also raised suspicions that the election committee consisted of "pro-Park Chung-kyu" members.

The KFA initially caused a stir by not disclosing the list of the committee members before the election. For this reason, the court pointed out that it was not possible to confirm whether the committee met the requirement that there should be more than two-thirds of outside members, and the KFA submitted the list to the court one day before the decision to cite the provisional injunction. According to the list, the election management committee consisted of eight members, including one journalist, three professors, and four lawyers. However, lawyers specializing in construction and real estate were included in the list. The committee included those close to Chung Mong-kyu, chairman of HDC Hyundai Development Co., a construction company, according to the report.

In response, the Election Commission emphasized fairness, saying, "The election management committee, which was legally selected in accordance with the association's regulations and procedures, carried out all procedures related to this election fairly and objectively."

Candidate Heo Jung-moo and Shin Moon-seon are proposing a plan to entrust the election to the National Election Commission in order to eliminate noise about the election. The Korea Football Association is also considering it positively. "Although the Korea Football Association has the biggest interest in size and interest among the organizations under the Korea Sports Association, the election administration was so dark that it was unbelievable," candidate Shin said. "Let's leave the election to the Central Election Commission and have an open discussion of candidates just like the election for the president of the Korea Sports and Olympic Committee." "Now that the election management committee has been disbanded, it seems that the election can be conducted properly," candidate Heo said. "There are ways to entrust the election to the Central Election Commission, or each candidate recommends two members for the new election management committee."

Candidate Chung Mong-gyu said, "The composition of the election management committee is an independent resolution made by the board of directors after I was excluded from my duties. Although it is clear that he cannot be involved in the operation, he is malignly slandering it as if it were related. We will actively promote the entrustment of the election to the Central Election Commission."
