The Kim Byeong-ji (CEO) director of K League 1's Gangwon FC directly refuted various allegations surrounding himself.

On the 21st, Kim Byeong-ji (CEO) publicly stated his position on recently raised allegations through his YouTube channel 'Kong Byung-ji TV'.

First, he expressed his apology, saying, "I sincerely apologize to all fans and Gangwon FC fans for causing concern due to controversies related to me."

However, he strongly refuted allegations that he deemed false.

A representative example is the controversy over a 'Cancun foreign trip'. Kim (CEO) stated, "I have never been to Cancun in my life," and argued, "The reason I went to Mexico was to watch matches in Mexico and the United States in my capacity as vice president of the Korea Football Association."

He then questioned Park Moon-seong, a committee member who covered the controversy, asking, "Did you really not know that I did not go to Cancun?"

According to Kim (CEO), there has been a misunderstanding following the broadcast that he had gone on a foreign trip to Cancun.

Regarding the earlier controversy over his son's participation in Tottenham's training program, he apologized again. Kim (CEO) admitted that he did not properly recognize at the time that it could be morally problematic for the CEO's son to participate in the training.

Furthermore, Kim (CEO) claimed that "Committee member Park summoned a marketing executive from Nike, who is of football background, to his room and had him explain marketing," and clarified his position on this matter. According to Kim (CEO), negative reactions emerged suggesting that the person in question referred to Kim (CEO).

Regarding these allegations, Kim (CEO) drew a clear line, stating, "There is absolutely no such fact."

He further explained, "The Korea Football Association does not have a private room for me. Therefore, it makes no sense to say that I summoned someone to my private room and had them discuss this matter."

Kim (CEO) refuted the claims by saying, "I am portrayed as someone who went on a foreign trip to Cancun even though I never went there, and as someone who taught marketing to a marketing expert."

Ultimately, he warned of legal action. Kim (CEO) stated, "I will not settle this matter with words alone," and announced, "I will file a civil lawsuit against Park Moon-seong and Dalsune Live."

He added, "I will submit objective evidence to the court. I will reveal the truth through litigation on this issue."

Addressing Committee member Park, he said, "If what you say is true, call that person as a witness," and urged, "Let's see who speaks the truth in court."
