"Are you the Minister of Tourism because you're from the tourism side?"
The chairman of the Korean Sports Council Yoo Seung Min expressed a clear opinion on the nomination of Choi Hwi-young, the head of Nol Universe, as a candidate for the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
In an interview right after the 105th anniversary event held at the Taeneung Training Center in Nowon-gu, Seoul on the 15th, there was talk of a nominee for the minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Choi Hwi-young, a former reporter who was nominated as the first nominee for minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism by the Lee Jae-myung administration on the 11th, is a multiplayer CEO who penetrates tourism, media, and content, including the establishment of a travel platform "Triple" through Naver CEO, but some people, including cultural solidarity, criticized him for being biased toward tourism that is not suitable for the era of a cultural powerhouse.
However, the young head of Korean sports, Chairman Yoo Seung Min, had a different idea. Asked for his opinion on the nomination of the minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Yoo said, `I have MZ-like thoughts.' "Is the Minister of Tourism just because he's from the tourism side? Isn't it the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. If you say you are not from physical education, you can make us more interested and supportive through cooperation. The sports association plays such a role." "Just as the minister is not just playing sports, I will continue to show the vision and practical policies of the sports association and send a message that I will cooperate with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for the development of sports."," he added. "Isn't today's event the pragmatism that President Lee Jae-myung emphasizes?" he asked back.
The first 105th anniversary event since Yoo Seung Min took office was quite different from the past. From Lee Yeon-taek, former chairman of the Korea Sports Council, to Lee Hae-in, who was born in 2005 and Lee Hae-in, who was born in 2005, athletes in their 10s and 80s gather together at the Taereung Training Center, a historical heritage and symbol of Korean sportscried ' in one voice. President Yoo himself went on stage and made a presentation promising the four core values of 'fairness, innovation, trust, and co-prosperity' under the goal of 'Health and happiness of the people through sports'Four Core Values of 'Fairness, Innovation, Trust, and Co-prosperity' and 'Declaring a Vision' which promises to run again with responsible change' Presentation. National team members and dreamt members including Won Yun-jong, candidates for IOC Athletes Commission (Bobsleigh), Woo Sang-hyuk (athletics), Cha Jun-hwan, and Lee Hae-in (figure) spoke out without hesitation during the. Above all, the scene where Kirsty Coventry, the new IOC President, congratulated the 105th anniversary of the Korean Olympic Committee directly through the video connection of 「Swiss Lausanne" and shared a Q&A session with Woo Sang-hyuk and Choi Min-jeong of the 「Representative Olympian」 was fresh and impressive.
Chairman Yoo said "It is not a formal event such as introducing guests and taking photos, but let's make it constructive so that even 30 minutes of sportsmen who participated from afar can remember it." He explained, "'Let's not be tough, let's have fun' and the executives did a good job of trying new things, so this event was created.' "Isn't this the pragmatism that President Lee Jae-myung emphasizes?" he asked back. "We just need to continue these efforts. In fact, I believe that no matter who comes as a minister and who comes as a vice minister, if athletes unite to persuade them with this vision, support for physical education will naturally increase.
When he was a member of the IOC Athletes Commission, his relationship with Coventry Chairman of the Olympic Swimming Championship, Zimbabwe Legend, led to a "surprise burn" connection. Coventry, who has been busy since taking office last month, gladly accepted the invitation at 8 a.m. in Lausanne, Switzerland, and answered the players' questions with all his heart. Chairman Yoo said "I put in some effort. The Ministry of International Exchange sent an official invitation e-mail, and I left a separate contact. He said he would do it live, not a recorded video. Since he has a special affection for the players, a meeting to talk directly was made. My voice is not in good condition because it's morning, but I got a message asking for understanding, and I immediately replied thank you so much. This is the current state of sports diplomacy in Korea. KOC's sports diplomacy is to directly and closely interact with IOC and OCA, the center of global sports, and to continue partnerships on the spot." "I hope that not only me, but also our athletes and athletes who challenge the committee will be more interested and do more activities."`Won Yoon-jong, a candidate for IOC membership, and other juniors were hoping for their struggles. Chairman Yoo said "I think it was a meaningful event because I prepared well, and the players' reactions and expressions were good." Chairman Coventry's appearance also gave him a boost, and the players must have been very inspired. "There should be more frequent positions like this." We will also hold a talk concert for leaders and express our will to create a sports meeting centered on athletes and leaders.
