"Hey! You punk!"
Candidate Shin Moon-sun, who ran for president of the Korea Football Association, held an emergency press conference in front of the Korea Football Association in Sinmun-ro, Seoul on the 10th and said, "I officially recommend candidate Chung to resign from his post. The election management committee appointed by candidate Chung's executive branch has already been sentenced to death as soon as the application for provisional injunction was cited."
"Dismiss the election commission immediately. The election that was set on Sunday is two days after Chung's term as chairman," he said. "We cannot admit that Chung competes in a biased and unfair situation when the election commission is appointed by the executive branch under his control."
Candidate Shin said that Chung's term ends on the 21st, and that it is not legally appropriate to set the election date to the 23rd.
"On the 23rd, Chung cannot exercise any authority over the administration of the Korea Football Association. Kim Jung-bae, acting president of the Korea Football Association, will also end his term," he said. "If this happens, the committee should be replaced with an emergency committee and a new election management committee should be formed."
However, according to Article 4, Paragraph 3 of the Election Management Regulations for the President of the Football Association, the election management committee can survive from the date of establishment to 60 days after the election.
Shin also said Chung could face severe disciplinary action as the deadline for severe suspension of qualifications demanded by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism arrives.
"The Korea Football Association should decide on the severe suspension of Chung's qualification within a month on February 2 of next month and report it to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism," he said. "Candidate Chung will naturally lose his candidacy."
Shin also claimed that the Korea Leadership Association, which recently returned with Chung's support, forced him to unify with Chung.
"During the campaign period, a high-ranking official of the Leadership Association, led by university directors, forced the unification with Chung," he said. "They were the main figures in the cartel of Korea University."
In this regard, candidate Shin explained, "When Oh Kyu-sung, president of the Women's 스포츠토토 Football Federation, died, it took place at a commercial house. Senior officials of the Leadership Association and Chairman Chung met alone, and stories about me went back and forth."
Candidate Shin Moon-sun said, "Since Chairman Chung Mong-gyu promised to do this only this time, let's see for a long time." So I scolded him. "Hey! You punk!"
"I also heard that Chairman Chung told me if I could accept the proposal. As the election situation is prolonged, various shameful acts are continuing," he said.
If Shin's story is true, it is in line with the reason why the Leaders' Association offered to support Chairman Chung Mong-gyu. Of course, neither Chung nor the Leaders' Association has responded to Shin's remarks.
