The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) has confirmed the unauthorized removal of ammunition from the shooting range armory at the Jincheon National Training Center. KSOC has suspended the armory manager and reporting personnel, acknowledging a failure in previous audits. Ryu Seung-min, KSOC president, expressed regret and pledged to strengthen management systems to prevent recurrence. A special audit of the Korea Shooting Federation is underway, and further administrative actions are being considered. KSOC is conducting a full review of past ammunition records to ensure safety and address vulnerabilities in the armory management system.

The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KOC) is hosting a public hearing on December 23rd to explain the principles and direction of proposed improvements to its presidential election system, including a potential shift to a direct election system. The hearing, co-hosted by members of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Election Commission, aims to gather opinions from various sectors and refine the system's fairness, representativeness, and feasibility. The KOC, currently using an indirect election system with an electoral college, has been facing calls for reform following the 2021 and 2025 presidential elections. A committee formed after Seung Min Ryu's election in January 2025 has proposed changes such as direct voting for all registered athletes, expanded freedom of campaigning, and mobile voting.

Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) President Seung Min Ryu urged President Lee Jae Myung to visit the Jincheon National Training Center and encourage athletes participating in major international competitions in 2025, which Ryu declared a 'K-Sports Year.' These events include the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, the World Baseball Classic (WBC), the World Cup, the Asian Games, and the Youth Olympics. Ryu also highlighted KSOC's recent approval of an election system reform, transitioning from a nomination system to a direct election, and plans to extend this to other sports organizations. President Lee emphasized the need for fair and transparent governance within sports organizations and inquired about the implementation of similar reforms in affiliated bodies. KSOC aims to provide guidelines for direct elections to sports federations and local sports councils by the end of 2025.

The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC), led by President Seung Min Ryu, has initiated a series of events to boost morale for Korean athletes and encourage public participation in the lead-up to the 2026 Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics. The 'D-50 Fan Invitation Open Training' event was held today at the Jincheon National Training Center, allowing 100 fans to observe short track training and interact with the athletes. KSOC plans further events including a D-30 media day and a 'Winter Sports National Team Recharge Day' featuring movie outings and appreciation activities for athletes. A special exhibition showcasing Korea's Winter Olympics history will also be held at the Taereung National Training Center.

South Korean President Jae-myung Lee expressed concern over persistent price gouging at tourist spots and emphasized the need for a 'one-strike out' policy to address violence within the sports community. He also highlighted the importance of democratizing sports organizations, preventing long-term leadership dominance, and ensuring fair athlete selection and operations. Ryu Seung Min, president of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, pledged to implement these measures. The president also called for a review of regulations regarding price displays at street vendors.
