At 2 p.m. on the 21st, the KOC held the 4th KOC Board of Directors at the Olympic Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul, and deliberated on five issues, including appointment of the chairman of the International Committee, revision of the articles of incorporation and various regulations, and demotion or expulsion of the KICK Boxing Association.
On this day, the board of directors deliberated and decided on the appointment of ▶ the chairman of the International Committee (Park Cheol-geun, former secretary-general of the Korean Sports Association) after receiving two reports, including ▶ Plans to dispatch the Korean team to the second half of 2025 (Line-Rour U competition, Chengdu World Games, Bahrain Asian Youth Games) ▶ The appointment of the head of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics in 2026 (Lee Soo-kyung, chairman of the Korean Skating Union) ▶ The appointment of the chairman of the International Committee (Park Cheol-geun, former secretary-general of the Korean Sports Council) ▶ Change of.
The board of directors voted to expel the Korea Kick Boxing Association, which has been absent for more than nine months since the former chairman resigned in October last year. The association did not fulfill its obligations under the articles of association and regulations of the Korea Sports Association, and gave sufficient normalization time in the process of repeated legal disputes for more than four years from 2021 to this year, but the board of directors voted to expel it due to the judgment that normal operation was impossible due to the absence of the executive and secretariat.
In order to strengthen the political neutrality of sports organizations, the board of directors voted on an amendment to the articles of association, which includes the establishment of an executive's position as an automatic resignation if an executive registers as a (preliminary) candidate in the election of elected officials, and allowing athletes to concurrently serve as members of other committees, allowing athletes to gain experience in various fields. In addition, the revision (draft) of the 「Sports Fair Committee」 regulations, including strengthening disciplinary regulations for serious misconduct such as misconduct and sexual violence against minors, was also approved.
