Following the Constitutional Court's decision to uphold the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol, Jeonbuk Governor Kim Kwan-young expressed relief, stating he can now confidently discuss Jeonju's bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics during his upcoming visit to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Lausanne starting April 8. Kim will meet with IOC President Thomas Bach and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, chair of the Future Host Commission, to present Jeonbuk's strategy focusing on local city alliances, eco-friendly practices, and cultural integration.

Kim Kwan-young, Governor of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, announced plans to meet with International Olympic Committee, IOC President Thomas BACH in Lausanne, Switzerland on May 8 to discuss Jeonbuk's strategy for the 2036 Summer Olympics. Kim, expected to be accompanied by Seung Min RYU, President of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, stated that he would minimize the time required for domestic procedures such as central government approval for the Olympic bid. Kim also mentioned the possibility of meeting newly elected IOC member Coventry but noted that Coventry's schedule is unconfirmed. Regarding Olympic sponsors, he indicated plans to explore possibilities with potential domestic major companies, as this is a crucial aspect for the IOC.

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, President of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, will meet with International Olympic Committee President Thomas BACH on April 8 in Lausanne to express the Republic of Korea's strong intention to host the 2036 Summer Olympics. Accompanied by government and Jeonbuk Province officials, RYU plans to emphasize the government and local authorities' high interest and full support. RYU will explain that Korea is systematically preparing for the 2036 Olympics, aligning with the IOC's Olympic Agenda and sustainable event management. He will also highlight Korea's potential role in realizing peace and inclusion through sports and express willingness to collaborate closely with the IOC. The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee plans to strengthen collaboration with the government, the bidding city, and the sports community to actively pursue the 2036 Summer Olympics bid.
