What's the president of the football association…Huh Jung-moo and Shinmun-seon jump into Jeong Mong-gyu

The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association began in earnest with the "Three-way Battle" between former national soccer team coach Huh Jung-moo and a visiting professor of sports record analysis at Shinmun-seon Myeong-ji Graduate School of Records and Information Science, with current chairman Chung Mong-kyu trying to win the fourth term.
What is the president of the Korea Football Association? Chairman Chung Mong-kyu couldn't let go of his second term, and even ran into candidates Heo Jung-moo and Shin Moon-sun.
The president of the Korea Football Association, the head of Korean soccer, is a brilliant coach.
In particular, it is a position to exert international influence through 'football diplomacy' through FIFA.
Soccer is considered the most popular sport in the world. The quadrennial World Cup is called the "Earth Village Festival."
The World Cup, watched by billions of people, has astronomical money to and from, and FIFA has enormous power over the soccer industry.
Chung, who has been the head of Korean soccer for three consecutive times since becoming the president of the Korea Football Association in 2013, has not given up his will to seek a fourth term despite various suspicions and criticism surrounding him.
Although he says it is not a position to fulfill his responsibilities to put down what he has done over the past 12 years, the prevailing interpretation is that there are many benefits from the president of the Korea Football Association that cannot be easily put down.
In November, soccer commentator Park Moon-sung appeared on a domestic broadcast and explained, "We only think of the position of the president of the Korea Football Association as the head of Korean soccer, but if we go to the position of the president of the Korea Football Association at all international events, including the World Cup hosted by FIFA, the protocol is virtually equivalent to the presidential level."
He added, "When you go to Europe, if you have a business card such as the president of the Korea Football Association or the owner of the soccer team, it will be very helpful for your activities or business."
He stressed, "Some say that it can't be let go because it's been done by a modern family, but getting ahead of it is also linked to understanding business interests."
In fact, like Chung Mong-joon, honorary chairman of the Korea Football Association, who had a powerful influence by rising to FIFA vice president, Chung has tried to advance to the FIFA stage and served as a member of the FIFA Council for two years from 2017.
When former coach Jurgen Klinsmann took the helm of the national team last year, some speculated that Chung might be trying to use Klinsmann's international soccer connections to enter the FIFA core again.
Seo Ho-jung, a soccer reporter, also said, "As the head of the Korean soccer community, the president of the Korea Football Association has the power to actually control not only the association but also its affiliated organizations. It is an organization that can spend about 130 billion won in its own budget and 150 billion won in huge funds, including government subsidies."
He also added, "If I become the president of the Football Association, I can try various positions at FIFA and Asian Football Confederation (AFC), so I have more honor and treatment than a diplomat."
As it is a soccer association that deals with hundreds of billions of won, the association's president's salary is also worth hundreds of millions of won. 메이저놀이터
Chairman Chung, the head of the group, has been managing part-time positions "unpaid" since becoming the president of the Korea Football Association, but former coach Huh Jung-moo and Professor Shin Moon-sun are likely to work full-time with annual salary if elected.
Former president Cho Joong-yeon is the only former president of the Korea Football Association to receive a salary.
Cho, who became the 51st president in 2009, was paid 132 million won in annual salary in his first year. Considering the inflation rate, the next chairman's annual salary is expected to be doubled.
"If you work, you should be paid. It would be boring if you don't think about the cost of your labor when you are a working president," said Shin Moon-seon, who announced his campaign promise on Wednesday. "I think it is right to be verified as a result of evaluation of business profits and receive a labor price accordingly."
