On August 23, according to the Korean media MHN, South Korea national football team head coach Hong Myung-bo and Korea Football Association president Chung Mong-gyu were summoned to the National Assembly.
It is reported that the Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee of the National Assembly said on the 23rd: “We plan to summon FA president Chung Mong-gyu and head coach Hong Myung-bo to the National Assembly to inquire about the recent controversy surrounding the appointment of the South Korean national team head coach.”
Previously on July 13, the Korea Football Association officially announced the appointment of Hong as the head coach of the South Korean national team. According to Korean media reports, during this process, Hong Myung-bo, who did not intend to lead the national team, was appointed without any preparation materials or interview procedures, which sparked procedural controversy. In addition, former FA Power Enhancement Committee member Park Joo-ho exposed the lax administrative procedures and closed operation reality through a video, maximizing this situation.
The report stated that Hong Myung-bo and Chung Mong-gyu are expected to attend the National Assembly hearing on September 9-10, with the South Korean team playing against Palestine in the World Cup qualifiers on September 5.
