The Korea Table Tennis Association held a sports fair committee meeting on the 30th of last month and decided on the level of disciplinary action against four people, including former chairman Yoo Seung Min (current chairman of the Korea Sports Council) and former vice chairman Kim Taek-soo (current head of Jincheon National Training Center), who requested disciplinary action. The level of disciplinary action is reportedly under way after the decision.
The Sports Ethics Center pointed out that executives and employees who received 10% incentives after attracting corporate sponsorships and donations to the Table Tennis Association violated the articles of association even though executives could not be paid under the articles of association, and the FTC reportedly focused on the suspicion of incentives. Shortly after demanding disciplinary action from the Sports Ethics Center in April, Yoo Seung Min, president of the Korea Sports Council, said through the board of directors of the Korea Sports Council that `a number of issues surrounding me and the employees of the Table Tennis Association were raised, and the Sports Ethics Center announced the decision. As a sportsman, I respect this decision. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to the sportsmen", but "We respect and accept the decision of the ethics center, but there are some regrets. I hope you trust me and watch me. I didn't run the Table Tennis Association in shame" has stated its position. Former and current executives and employees who attended the Fair Trade Commission are said to have actively explained the "process of trying to attract corporate donations and donations for the development of table tennis" and "the fact that they did not recognize that the 10% incentive marketing regulations violate the articles of association".
As the Korea Table Tennis Association is currently in the process of notification, the parties are said to have not yet received the results by the 5th. The results of disciplinary action by the Sports Fair Trade Commission will not be announced and individual parties will be notified individually in writing.
