Choi Hwi-young, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, who appeared as a witness at the National Assembly Committee on Culture, Sports and Tourism hearing on the Korea Football Association (KFA), stated that he would support reforms within the KFA by addressing the criticisms and directives received during the hearing.
Choi Hwi-yeong (Minister) said on his personal social media (SNS) on the 31st, "The National Assembly hearing on the Football Association has concluded." He added, "Many who watched may have felt frustrated and disappointed, but our football has taken another step forward in this way."
Choi (Minister) wrote, "One of the outcomes was that we were able to clearly confirm once again with all citizens the thick layers of long-accumulated vested interests that have hardened over time and the deep-rooted administrative chaos. The lawmakers' words that 'changing just one face cannot solve anything; it is the core and the cartel that must change' were painful."
Choi Hwi-yeong (Minister) also stated, "We will carefully address each criticism, request, directive, and task given by the lawmakers and work to untangle the tangled threads. We will firmly support the K-Football Innovation Committee so that all football stakeholders can make bone-wearying efforts until the day when they regain the trust of the people with one heart and one mind."
