Yoo Seung Min, a former IOC athlete and president of the Korea Table Tennis Association, a gold medalist in the table tennis Olympics, said he will be a "civil complaint troubleshooter" for athletes.

On the first day of the official campaign for the chairman of the Korea Sports Council, candidate Yoo attended a press conference wearing a shoulder strap with number 3 on it, stressing that he is more competitive than other candidates in age, experience and execution.

Regarding Chairman Lee Ki-heung, who is running for a third term, he said, "I don't think I'll be stronger than Wang Hao in China," and he was confident that he would shake the hearts of athletes this year during the election campaign on the 19th, just as he won the IOC membership against everyone's expectations.Yoo, who saw the possibility of 'unifying the opposition camp' in

as unlikely, explained that he had proposed a poll method, but that other candidates had shown bias on the grounds of 'young age'.

Chairman Yoo presented six representative pledges, including ▲ Shared growth by securing independence for local sports associations and sports organizations ▲ Introduction of a 'Sports Connect System' for athletes-leaders ▲ Project to revitalize school sports.

The registration of candidates for the chairman of the sports committee will be held for two days until the 25th, and the deposit of 70 million won can only be returned if they are elected, killed, or more than 20% of the vote.
