The Korea Football Association has filed an administrative lawsuit against Chairman Chung Mong-kyu (photo) to cancel his request for severe disciplinary action by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
The Korea Football Association submitted an application for suspension of execution to the Seoul Central District Court on June 21 along with an administrative lawsuit related with the ministry's specific audit. The move is in response to the ministry's request for severe disciplinary action beyond the suspension of qualifications against key figures such as Chairman Chung in November last year when the ministry announced the results of the KFA's audit. At the time, the ministry recommended that the association should impose severe disciplinary action on Chung and other KFA officials by February 3, holding them responsible for poor management of the organization, including violating the procedure for appointing Hong Myung-bo as the coach of the Korean national soccer team. According to the articles of association, a person who has been disciplined beyond the suspension of qualification cannot become an KFA executive. If the disciplinary action is confirmed, Chung will lose his eligibility to run for the next chairman's election. The KFA's Sports Fair Committee held a meeting on June 23 and decided to suspend its decision on whether to discipline Chung until the results of the lawsuit are released.
