Might & Main CEO Choi Cheol-won, who was involved in the’Matt Price Assault Case’, which was the subject of the movie’Veteran’, was elected president of the Korea Ice Hockey Association yesterday (17th). Even before the assault, he eventually became the chairman of a sports organization, and political circles even talked about the’Chief Cheol-won ban’.
This is Lee Seon-hwa.

Despite the controversy over the candidate’s qualifications, the support for Choi Cheol-won was overwhelming.
Out of a total of 82 votes, 62 votes were obtained.
As the cousin of SK Group Chairman Tae-won Choi’s younger brother, I was excited to create more ice rinks and create an unemployment team.
Then the civic group made an urgent comment.
[허정훈/체육시민연대 공동대표 : 파렴치한 일을 해도 돈 들고 있는 재벌이라면 체육 단체장이 될 수 있다는 부끄러운 사례를 크게 남긴 것 같습니다.]
The politics also came up with the’Choi Cheol-won Prohibition Act’.
If I have a criminal record in the future, I will make a device so that I can not challenge myself as president of a sports organization.
According to the regulations of the Korean Sports Association, the person who caused social controversy cannot become an executive of an athletic group, but the athletic association has yet to make any movement, saying, “No request for approval has been received.”
[안민석/더불어민주당 의원 : (이기흥) 대한체육회 회장부터 이렇게 전과자니까. 산하 협회 회장들이 전과자인 것들이 용인이 될 수가 있는 거죠.]
Choi can begin his term as president only after receiving approval from the athletic meet by the end of next month.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism asked the Korea Sports Association to make a’strict judgment’.
