The Korea Football Association announced that it will not take legal action against Park Joo-ho, a former member of the Korea Football Association’s National Team Strengthening Committee who exposed the process of appointing Hong Myung-bo as head coach of the national football team.

A Korea Football Association official said in a phone call with Newsis on the 18th, “It is true that the association has begun reviewing Commissioner Park Joo-ho’s remarks, but we have not made an official response.”

He explained, “Although quite some time has passed since the review, no formal procedures have actually been undertaken,” and “I decided that it was unnecessary to respond to Commissioner Park Joo-ho, including taking legal action.”

Ten days after the Korea Football Association issued a rebuttal to Commissioner Park Joo-ho’s remarks, it has officially announced that it will withdraw its response to him.

On the 8th, Commissioner Park Joo-ho revealed through his YouTube channel that there were problems with the process of appointing coach Hong Myung-bo as head coach of the national soccer team.

At the time, Commissioner Park said, “The appointment of Coach Hong Myung-bo was not done through proper procedures. I didn’t know even though I was a working-level employee working within the organization,” and caused a huge stir both inside and outside the soccer world by saying, “The past five months (when I was working as a member of the power reinforcement committee) have been in vain.”

In response, the Korea Football Association expressed regret on the 9th, saying, “Member Park Joo-ho distorted the activities of the Power Reinforcement Committee and the process of selecting a coach with his own arbitrary perspective.”

At the time, he was heavily criticized for suggesting legal action, saying, “We will carefully review whether Park Joo-ho’s words and actions are in violation of the regulations as a committee member and take the necessary measures.”
