(4)The Korea Football Association (KFA) turned down both the National Assembly’s request for data on former coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s contract process and the details of his application during his tenure. The Korea Football Association refused to disclose the data because of his non-disclosure contract with Klinsmann, but critics point out that Chung Mong-kyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, may have rejected the data given that the disclosure of the data could intensify calls for responsibility over the appointment of Klinsmann
(5)Former coach Klinsmann said in an interview with Spiegel last month that he stayed abroad for a considerable period of time and frequently traveled overseas, citing inspections by top-class overseas players who do not need on-site inspections In this regard, the day shipbuilding company requested related data through Kim Jong-min, co-chairman of the National Assembly’s new Future, and Kim Seung-soo, a member of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, but the Korea Confederation of Trade Unions refused to provide the data to the National Assembly
(6)The data requested by the two lawmakers’ offices include △ copies of contracts related to the appointment of Klinsmann and the national team coach △ copies of contracts between the coaches who signed the contract with or after Klinsmann’s appointment △ Details related to Klinsmann’s business trip, including the number of business trips and expenses for business trips △ A number of data showing the appointment and support of Klinsmann, including details of applications when residing in Korea, and whether or not a down payment and separate support are provided
(7)However, the KFA said in a statement on the 16th, “We cannot provide confidential information to Kim Jong-min’s office under the agreement of the two sides,” adding, “Korea Football Association Chairman Chung Mong-kyu said, “We will start the process of appointing the next coach.” The KFA said on the 21st and 22nd, “We blindly submitted confidential information to Kim Seung-soo’s office, but the KFA did not submit the relevant information.” Although he said he would humbly accept criticism and rebuke of the Korea Football Association, he remained closed to the lawmaker’s request for data to point out the issue”Even if the contract amount is not disclosed, the number of business trips, supervision of the length of stay in Korea, and the details of support for business trips are considered ordinary tasks, so the fact that it was kept private is probably because there are some details that should not be disclosed in the contract,” a National Assembly official said
(8)Rep. Kim Jong-min told Interstate Chosun that the KFA’s failure to submit the contract to the National Assembly despite the situation being a matter of public interest is a serious matter of disregard for the National Assembly,” adding, “The appointment of the national coach is a national project, not a private project that can be done as one president of the KFA, and if it is wrong by one person’s dogma, it should be held accountable.”

(8)Rep. Kim Seung-soo also officially asked the Korea Football Association for related materials, including copies of contracts for former national soccer team coaches including Klisman, but refused to submit the materials due to non-disclosure provisions under contracts between the association and coaches,” he said. “This soon ignored the National Assembly and further hurt the people and soccer fans.”

(13)The response letter provided by the KFA to the office of Kim Seung-soo, the People’s Power, states that it blinded and submitted a copy of former coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s contract, but Kim’s office told the Weekly Chosun that it did not receive it.

(1)The KFA is a corporation operated with profits and donations, but it receives tax support such as the National Sports Promotion Fund. Article 22 of the National Sports Promotion Act, the use of funds, etc. 2 of the National Sports Promotion Act. Support for organizations that host sports events subject to non-issuance of sports promotion voting rights and support projects to enhance fairness in sports. In this case, the project subject to support is distributed based on the fact that it is determined by Ordinance of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The National Assembly believes that the Korea Football Association, which is based on these laws, should also be supervised by legislative agencies, at least when it comes to budget execution

(2)In addition, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also has the authority to hold the KFA accountable for its lax budget management According to an interview conducted by the JoongAng Ilbo with Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Yoo In-chon on the 21st, Minister Yoo said that he would first watch the KFA’s autonomous recovery efforts, including clear fact-finding and system maintenance, but if he fails to meet the public’s expectations, the ministry, which oversees Korea’s sports policy, will be held accountable whether it is a warning or sanctions
(3)As the KFA has been rapidly working on the appointment of the next senior coach after former coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s replacement, Chung Mong-gyu’s claim of responsibility seems to be abating. However, in the soccer community such as Epem Korea, voices calling for Chung to be held accountable for the process of appointing Klinsmann and internal strife within the national team are unabatedTherefore, if these details are disclosed, the KFA seems to be refusing to disclose the data, given that Chairman Chung’s claim of responsibility, which seems to have been silenced, could be rekindled
(4)In this regard, a KFA official said, “Do you not announce the contract to the outside world?” “Not only the Klinsmann coach, but also the previous coach and the domestic coach all asked for understanding and said, “We will keep it private.” Regarding the fact that we did not receive the document, we answered the form sent by the Korean Sports Council and did not give you a copy of the contract by blinding it
