Regarding the appointment of the executive department, Chairman Chung said, “Over 60% of the board of directors has been newly formed, except for the subcommittee chairs that require continuity of policy. “I plan to lead the change in KFA by making the average age younger in their early 50s while employing female executives, including the first female vice president.”
In addition, at the general meeting of the delegates that day, the articles of incorporation for the term of office of executives were amended. The existing executives’ term of office was four years, but the 54th executive department changed the term of office of executives excluding the chairman to two years. The intention is to determine whether or not to continue working by evaluating the two-year activities.
Meanwhile, the general meeting of the delegates approved the 2020 settlement amount. In 2020, KFA recorded an income of 66.58 billion won and an expenditure of 70.29 billion won. Compared to the previous year’s 2019 settlement plan (income 94.15 billion won and expenditure 92.2 billion won), income decreased by 29.4% and expenditure decreased by 23.8%.
In terms of income, due to the cancellation of various competitions and competitions due to Corona 19, the entrance fee revenue decreased by 78.2% to 60 million won, 99.3% compared to the previous year (2019), and the broadcasting right revenue to 2.230 billion won. On the other hand, it minimized losses by reducing expenses by about 22 billion won through efforts to reduce costs.
A KFA official said, “Even in a poor situation where major incomes are drastically reduced in the aftermath of Corona 19, all executives and employees participated to reduce costs, and we were able to mitigate the extent of losses that were initially expected.”
