"No one is responsible for the sports world."



Kim Jae-hong, former chairman of the Korea Curling Competition Federation, who is accused of'obstructing work by force' by illegally hiring experienced executive-level employees contributed to the daily newspaper on the 18th.

This is a column that came out four days after the Korea Sports Association delivered the results of its appreciation to the Curling Federation.

That's the right point.

Chairman Kim Jae-hong is in charge of the federation's'Unauthorized Hiring','Violation of Government Subsidies Management', and'Gap in the Workplace' as revealed by the audit.

There was no mention of this in the article.

No one is responsible for the Korea Curling Federation.



It is a so-called'fluid escape' speech method.

The column begins by criticizing the Korea Sports Association for the easy and passive response to the late Choi Sook-hyun case.

The government issued a'severe warning to the Korea Sports Association' and'requested to dismiss the secretary general', but the Sports Association filed an objection and pointed out that it was avoiding responsibility.

He wrote, "The chairman is the head of the athletic meeting. Even if there is no fault in reality, it is a position to take more moral responsibility, which is not practical."

It would be nice if you had a deep self-reflection, but not.




After the inauguration of Chairman Kim Jae-hong, suspicions of insolvent accounting and fraudulent hiring were raised one after another in the curling federation.

In particular, a month after taking office, it was revealed that Chairman Kim did not adhere to the procedures and damaged fairness in the process of hiring employees.



1) It did not go through the personnel committee, 2) the announcement was revised in favor of a specific person, 3) the result of the document score was treated improperly, and 4) the chairman praised a specific person to other interviewers prior to scoring, which undermined fairness. ) The'evaluation process after 3 months training' was omitted and a specific person was hired.



At least there should have been a word of regret for the 12 other applicants who were unfairly eliminated in the process.

The athletic meet disposes of the employee's ``cancellation of the pass'' and has decided to accuse the relevant person, including Chairman Kim, to the police.



This is not the first time Chairman Kim's fluid escape method.

He resigned abruptly in April, when the Korean Sports Association's thanks to the Curling Federation was in full swing.

It was only 8 months after the inauguration ceremony.

He posted a resignation message on the Federation's website, "confessing that it has achieved at least normalization."




The Curling Federation has always gone in the opposite direction to'normalization'.

Immediately after taking office, a transfer committee was formed, which is not in the articles of association and regulations.

At this time, the underwriting committee members used abusive language and abusive language toward the employees, leading to some of the employees receiving psychiatric treatment.

As a result of the audit, there have been workplace harassment, human rights violations, and mischief.

In addition, Chairman Kim was confronted with opposition while trying to process the settlement of accounts in 2019 at the general meeting without an audit report, and he urged a resolution to raise controversy.

Immediately after the general meeting, there was a lot of swearwords exchanged between executives and delegates.

Curling Federation, repeated claudication

Despite ignoring the dissenting opinions more than 20 times,



Chairman Kim said, "We created the Korea Curling League to expand the base of curling, and (omitted) made an agreement of 780 million won in donation during the first half of this year." But the reality is different.

As a result of the audit, the fact that the subsidy management law was violated while conducting the Korean Curling League was revealed, and the fiscal situation of the Federation is the worst ever.

Last spring, there was a delay in wages by employees of the office, and severance pay was not paid on time to the retired employees.

There was even a case of losing money after being caught in a lawsuit after arbitrarily spending the support of the former executive vice president.

I have to hold a selection for the national team to compete in the next year's World Championships, which are also qualifying for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, but I am very proud of the lack of budget.

If the support for the athletic meeting is cut off or reduced according to the results of this audit, the damage will be returned to the athletes.



Chairman Kim Jae-hong created a group chat room with reporters saying, "After taking office, I will actively engage in communication."

Here, Chairman Kim unilaterally shared articles from daily newspapers that had nothing to do with curling.

When I asked about this right after the general meeting, which was stained with profanity, even the one-sided communication was cut off.

Several times I called and texted him for clarification, but I didn't get an answer.



In the meantime, there was a case of failure in trying to deal with the agenda of'Appointing former chairman Kim Jae-hong as the honorary chairman of the Federation'.

The Federation's Board of Directors raised a related agenda within a month after Chairman Kim resigned, and was rejected at the General Assembly in July.

In the curling world, there are observations that Chairman Kim's aide is laying the groundwork to make him a candidate for the Korea Sports Center.



We conclude with the last sentence of Chairman Jaehong Kim's column.

"As a public policy practitioner taking care of the people's daily sports, I am desperate to hope for a true leader in the sports world who fosters elite athletes on that basis."
