Former candidates for the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee presidency, Kang Shin Wook and O Ju Young, have criticized incumbent president Seung Min RYU following the Sports Ethics Center's call for disciplinary action against the Korea Table Tennis Association for unfair athlete selection and improper incentive payments. The investigation, which found that Seung Min RYU, who led the Table Tennis Association at the time, was involved in inappropriately replacing national team athletes, has led to calls for RYU's resignation.

Seung Min RYU, the newly appointed president of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, emphasized the importance of revitalizing school sports during an interview. He plans to collaborate with educational authorities to promote sports participation among all students, drawing inspiration from systems in the United States and Japan where sports are integrated into the regular curriculum. RYU also addressed various issues, including support for student-athletes, gender equality in sports leadership, and financial stability for sports organizations, and the importance of 장흥체육인재개발원 operation.

Kirsty Coventry, Zimbabwe's Minister of Youth, Sport, and Culture, was elected as the 10th IOC Chair at the 144th IOC General Assembly in Costa Navarino, Greece. Her election is a positive sign for Kee Heung LEE and the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee's international sports diplomacy, as Seung Min RYU shares many similarities with Coventry, including being born in the 80s, being a global sports leader in their 40s, an Olympic gold medalist, and a sports hero from a 'minor continent.' RYU and Coventry were colleagues in the IOC Athletes' Commission, fostering close cooperation. RYU's potential return to the IOC is viewed positively, and his upcoming visit to Lausanne with Thomas BACH to discuss the 2036 Summer Olympics bid further underscores these prospects.

Seung Min RYU, the newly elected President of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, will meet with International Olympic Committee President Thomas BACH in Lausanne on April 8. The meeting follows BACH's invitation after RYU's election on January 14. Kim Kwan-young, Governor of Jeollabuk-do, and Jung Kang-sun, President of the Jeonbuk Sports Association, will accompany RYU, potentially visiting the Future Host Commission to discuss Jeollabuk-do's bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics. Additionally, Kee Heung LEE, former President of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, will visit Greece at the invitation of BACH during the 144th IOC General Assembly.

The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) is initiating a revamp of its Sport Tribunal, which faced criticism under former president Kee Heung LEE for alleged unfairness. Under the leadership of Seung Min RYU, the KSOC aims to ensure the tribunal's impartiality by reforming the selection process of committee members. The KSOC will establish a recommendation committee with experts from government and sports bodies to nominate fair Sport Tribunal members. The new Sport Tribunal, in consultation with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, will consist of up to 15 experts, including legal professionals, human rights experts, sports journalists, and sports specialists.
