The Korea Sports Council held its first board meeting at the Grand Hyatt Seoul Hotel Grand Salon Hall in Seoul at 2:30 p.m. on the 27th. Thirty-five newly appointed vice presidents and board members were present.
On this day, the board of directors began with a silent tribute to the victims of large-scale forest fires in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Chairman Yoo expressed his condolences to all those affected by the forest fire, saying, `I feel heavy about inaugurating amid a national disaster.' Our athletes will join us." Then "The sports world faces a number of pending issues. There is nothing I can achieve alone. When all members speak out and work together, it gives me great strength. It is a difficult time inside and outside, but our sport has never taken a break. It has always proved its worth. I will start the board of directors by dreaming of becoming one of the Korean Sports Council through sports, professional sports, daily sports, leaders, athletes, hobbyists, and judgesThere was applause when the words " came out.
At the first board meeting, Kim Nam-mi, former vice chairman of the International Biathlon Federation, was appointed as the secretary-general, Kim Taek-soo, former general manager of Mirae Asset Securities' table tennis team, as the head of Jincheon Training Center, and Lee Young-jin, former constitutional judge, was appointed as the chairman of the Sports Fair Committee. President Yoo introduced President Kim Nam-i as the first female secretary-general in 105 years, the first-generation female athlete with experience in administration and international sports diplomacy, and Chief Kim Taek-soo as a legend without explanation. President Kim, who left for Germany shortly after the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, personally delivered his first impression of returning home in seven years to the athletes. "I've always introduced myself as a skier, Kim Nam-i, but I'm here to include all the athletes." A sportsman is a family. In the meantime, there has been a father's role in the sports association, but not a mother's role. I will take good care of the players, leaders, and staff like my mom." Chief Kim Taek-soo said, `President Yoo's appointment as the head of the athletes' village means to impress and delight the people through intense and powerful training and beyond-the-limits training as in the 2004 Athens Olympics gold medal,' adding, `We will create a culture of respect for each other based on trust in the athletes' village. "I will give my players freedom, but I will lead them to the best in the world in terms of performance without compromise." At the site, there was also a question about the approval of Chung Mong-gyu, president of the Korea Football Association. Chairman Yoo said "It will be concluded soon. I thought a lot about it and heard various voices." The Korean Sports and Olympic Committee will conclude soon considering ▶ regulations and procedures ▶ meeting legal requirements ▶ securing stability in the operation of the soccer community ▶ the willingness of the Korea Football Association to innovate ▶ the public's perspective. Chairman Yoo said, `Even if we approve it, we will also work hard to help the Korean Sports Council to make a future-oriented and healthy structure that everyone can understand at the level of the public and fans through thorough monitoring.'
