The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which seemed to acknowledge Hong Myung-bo's national soccer team's coach system, has again predicted intense follow-up measures, including re-election of the coach.

The A-match in October will begin soon, and a confusing situation continues.

Reporter Lee Dae-gun's report.

[Reporter]
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which conducts an audit of the Korea Football Association, said that the appointment of Hong Myung-bo as the national team coach itself is not invalid.

[Choi Hyun-jun / Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Inspector (last 1st): A procedural defect was found in the process of appointing Hong Myung-bo, but I think it is difficult to judge that the contract with Hong Myung-bo is invalid just because there is a procedural defect.]

When announcing the results of the interim audit, I wondered that he recognized the autonomy of the soccer association while pointing out various problems in the process of appointing a coach.It was pointed out that the FIFA official letter, which said

, 'Political interference can be sanctioned,' had an impact.

However, the pressure level of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has rather increased.

Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Yoo In-chon, who appeared at the parliamentary audit, responded that FIFA's official letter was ceremonial.

He also stressed that the re-election process for director Hong Myung-bo is still in effect.

[Yoo In-chon / Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism (National Assembly Audit): I think (the appointment of the national soccer team coach) should go through a fair process again. Fans and the public have an eye.... Obviously, because I announced that this was unfair...]

Chung Mong-kyu, the president of the Korea Football Association, also reaffirmed his impossibility.

In this way, the Korea Football Association's audit is not the end, but just the beginning, signaling a strong follow-up.

Hong Myung-bo will play against Jordan on the 10th and Iraq on the 15th in October.

This chaotic and chaotic atmosphere is expected to continue during the third qualifying round of the World Cup.
