The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC), led by President Seung Min Ryu, has postponed the expansion of its electoral college, a key step towards introducing a direct presidential election system. While reforms including adjustments to the board of directors, term limits, and strengthening the political neutrality of sports officials were approved, the electoral college expansion was deferred to a future general assembly following feedback from delegates. KSOC is still pursuing a shift from the current indirect election system (where a lottery-selected group of delegates votes) to a direct system where all registered athletes can vote. The organization also finalized a budget of 360 billion won for the year and presented plans for establishing an expert group to develop a '2040 K-Sports Vision'.

The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) held its regular general meeting of delegates today, February 27, 2026, where a proposal to expand the electoral college for the president election was postponed. While revisions to the KSOC bylaws, including adjustments to the number of board members, strengthening the political neutrality of sports organization officials, and limiting re-election terms, were approved, the expansion of the electoral college was deferred to the next general meeting to reflect the opinions of the delegates. This follows KSOC President Seung Min Ryu's commitment to reforming the election system towards a more direct process. The meeting also finalized a budget of 3601 billion won for the year and presented plans for establishing a '2040 K-Sports Vision' expert group.
