'Shooting Emperor'Jin Jong-oh, a member of the People's Power Party, called on the new chairman of the Korean Sports Council 'Athens Table Tennis Hero' for a strong drive to reform the sports world.
Chairman Yoo Seung Min attended a plenary session of the Committee on Style held at the main building of the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul, at 10 a.m. on the 5th. At the meeting, six Olympic and Paralympic gold medalists gathered together, including Chairman Yoo of the Athens Table Tennis Champions, Rep. Lim Oh-kyung of the Democratic Party of Korea, Rep. Jin Jong-oh of the People's Republic of Korea, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Jang Mi-ran of the People's Republic of Korea, Chairman Ha Hyung-joo of the National Sports Promotion Foundation, and Chairman Chung Jin-wan of the Korean Sports and Paralympic Committee.
The first question and answer session was also held between Rep. Jin Jong-oh, who is a "Taerung senior and junior" and Chairman Yoo Seung Min, who is a 'appreciated institution'. A consensus among young sports leaders for the reform of the sports world was detected. Rep. Jin called up the chairman of the Korea Sports Council Yoo Seung Min in front of his remarks. The Korea Sports Council's Sports Fair Committee, which has been working hard since last year's parliamentary audit, focused on the fair operation plan and direction of reform. Chairman Yoo was criticized a lot for not being fair by the Sports Fair Committee. A fair direction should be adopted from the configuration. We will find a way to be organized fairly after prior consultation." Lawmaker Jin said, `The problem is the process of appointing a sports fair committee member. It consists of people appointed by themselves and has a structure that allows them to stay in power for a long time. Chairman Yoo immediately replied, "'I agree with you' when he said, "The problem is that one individual reigns.' Rep. Jin proposed that `to strengthen fairness, sports-related organizations such as the Korean Sports Association, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Lawyers Association, Sports Journalists Federation, and Sports Association designate and form an open verification and deliberation system for candidates for the Fair Committee to enhance public confidence.' Minister Yoo In-chon responded, `I think it is right. Once such a plan is settled, we will actively discuss it. It would be much more objective if it was formed by recommending fair members from various organizations, including the media and legal circles. Chairman Yoo said "The formation of the board of directors in March is possible only when the Sports Fair Committee is formed as soon as possible. Due to the current schedule, it is difficult to go through the public verification process. We will appoint a member of the committee as clean and fair as possible through consultation." Rep. Jin also strongly asked Chairman Yoo to reform the harmful effects accumulated under the former chairman of the sports association.
Rep. Jin also expressed his active opinion on strengthening ethics and human rights education at the Sports Ethics Center and maintaining the Taeneung Ice Rink. Representative Jin said, `The human rights education program for registration of athletes of the Korea Sports Association is only 15 minutes of video training, and it is currently being replaced by a promotional video of the Sports Ethics Center"When I went to a meeting of the leaders of the Korean Sports Association, I pointed out that the human rights issue between leaders and athletes is serious, but the effectiveness of education is significantly reduced." Chairman Yoo said "The protection of athletes' human rights is being strengthened, and there are no legal or institutional protections for leaders' human rights despite their poor. be relatively vulnerable. The Sports Council is also aware of this and is trying to come up with a mechanism for human rights and happiness for its leaders." Rep. Jin said "That's right. There is serious friction between leaders and athletes' human rights. It must be improved", he affirmed. Rep. Jin also disclosed that he received a shocking on-site report. "More than 120 reports have been received from August 2024 to the sports corruption reporting center in this office. The most worrisome is that the video of sexual intercourse distribution has been spreading recently. "This is a serious tip-off. Please move quickly and take action,' he publicly asked. "These events and accidents occur because preemptive prevention and education are insufficient. The Sports Ethics Center should mandate sexual violence prevention educationPlease pay attention to human rights education. Prevention and education should precede disciplinary action," he said emphatically. .
Lawmaker Jin then continued to ask questions and suggestions regarding the relocation of the Taeneung International Skating Center. "Our national team players performed well at the Harbin Winter Asian Games. A total of 12 medals were won. The reason I am saying this is because of the issue of relocating the Taeneung International Skating Center. "Taerung International Skating Center is the only facility where athletes from Korea's national ice skating teams can train. However, as Taereung was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, the National Heritage Administration (formerly Cultural Heritage Administration) maintains that the facility should be demolished. Accordingly, the government has been pushing for alternative facilities, but the project has been drifting for a long time due to conflicts and administrative inefficiencies in the site selection process." He lamented, "Our skaters cannot even train properly because they do not have an international speed skating rink." Seven local governments have been engaged in a fierce bid to attract international skating rinks by investing budget and manpower, but the project is currently in limbo. Rep. Jin urged "to present a concrete roadmap for implementation" As UNESCO visits Korea in March 2025 to conduct on-site inspection of the restoration of the Taereung, Rep. Jin said, "Through an interview, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism should come up with a clear negotiation strategy and alternatives, focusing on the preservation of the Taereung skating rink."," he stressed. "The training of national team players in old and dangerous facilities should not be repeated"The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee asked the congressman's office to report a thorough plan so as not to waste any more budget."
