Candidate Huh Jung-moo (70), who is running for the 33rd president of the Korea Football Association, once again voiced criticism.
Candidate Huh Jung-moo released a press release on the 12th and said, "The election for the president of the Korea Football Association was suspended due to the court's decision on the provisional disposition for illegal and unfairness. The Korea Football Association pushed to end the election on the 23rd unilaterally and hastily, but such an attempt was canceled due to strong opposition from candidate Huh Jung-moo and candidate Shin Moon-seon (67). All the members of the election management committee resigned on the 10th."

Controversy continues over the election of the 55th president of the Korea Football Association. Currently, the election is being held in a three-way race, including Chung Mong-kyu (63), the current president of the Korea Football Association, Heo, and Shin. However, the election date was pushed back twice. The election had to take place on the 8th, but it was suddenly suspended on the 7th, citing the court's request for an injunction against the presidential election ban filed by candidate Heo against the Korea Football Association. In response, the election committee postponed the election day to January 23 and also came up with supplementary measures.

However, Heo and Shin again refuted that the Korea Football Association's election committee gave unilateral notification. Heo also claimed that the election committee is for Chung. Shin also called for the dissolution of the election committee. All the election committee members resigned on Tuesday.

However, Heo said, "The members of the election committee continued to make the excuse that they decided to resign because the committee could not operate normally due to criticism, protests and slander from the candidates." "However, the court ruled that the court cited the provisional injunction as it feared to have a significant impact on the election as procedural illegality, transparency and fairness have not been confirmed."

"So, we cannot accept the resignation of the steering committee members, and this is why we need to point out it as important," he said.

Huh said, "The first is why the election management committee has led the election unfairly, committing immorality and illegality to the extent that the court is astonishingly unscrupulous. The second is why the court tried to re-set the election date to the 23rd in a hurry without making any effort to normalize the provisional injunction. The reason is that they were all candidates, and no matter what, they had to succeed in Chung's fourth consecutive term. That's why they tried to hold an election that was illegal, unfair, shameful and immoral."

"When such an attempt was put on hold due to candidate Huh Jung-moo's request for provisional injunction and the court's citation, he made a shameless trick to finish the election before the deadline for implementing severe disciplinary measures by supplementing a few electors in a chaotic situation. Through this, we tried to neutralize the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's demand for severe disciplinary action," he said.

He also criticized Chung. "Candidate Chung is not a candidate who should run," Huh said. "In the audit results released on November 5, 2024, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism demanded severe disciplinary action beyond suspension of Chung and others for illegal and unfair business processing. Although the association rejected the request and demanded a reconsideration, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism again rejected the demand for disciplinary action, saying there was no problem and said it would wait and see if it was implemented. There is no reason or basis for the Korea Football Association to reject the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's demand for severe disciplinary action anymore."
Candidate Huh said, "If candidate Chung delays or avoids severe disciplinary action, the Korea Football Association will have to bear enormous financial losses due to candidate Chung." The Ministry of Culture, 메이저놀이터 Sports and Tourism said it will impose five times more sanctions and penalties as well as the return of subsidies of 5.6 billion won, which was unfairly granted under a 'false business plan'. Instead of staying on this, I warned the government subsidy system, but it can be excluded for up to five years."
