It is suspected that
Kim Taek-gyu, president of the association, received sponsored goods and distributed them arbitrarily without a certain standard.

According to an investigation by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Badminton Association received 150 million won of sponsored goods led by Chairman Kim Taek-kyu last year and signed a written contract to receive similar amount of goods this year.

It also believes that signing a private contract worth 2.6 billion won with a sponsor over the past two years violated the subsidy law.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism demanded the dismissal of Chairman Kim Taek-kyu, and the secretary-general demanded heavy punishment.

It also decided to ask the police to investigate on charges of embezzlement and breach of trust.
