Seoul, April 14 (Yonhap)-The South Korean Olympic chef Ryu Seung-Min was accused on Monday of violating rules with regard to financial incentives, while serving as head of the national tables of tennis stock organ.

The Korea Sport Ethics Center, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism, has announced that the discipline will demand on two current and former managers of a National Sports Federation for Professional Malpraktijk, and on four other people, including the head of that organization, for professional negligence and rules.

Although the ethical center has not identified the organization in question, it is confirmed as the Korea Table Tennis Association (KTTA), where Ryu, who served as KTTA chef from 2019 to 2024, is one of the four in the last group.

Ryu was chosen in January of this year as president of the Korean Sports & Olympic Committee (KSOC).

The KSOC will now assess the requirement of the ethical center to punish his own leader and an official said that the question from the Ethics Center remains a possibility.

According to the Ethics Center, the two managers spent or received money after securing sponsor offers, although the KTTA rules of executives do not arrange financial rewards.

During his KSOC election campaign, Ryu was accused by his rival candidates of receiving stimuli for winning sponsor sizes. Ryu denied that he had not received any money for securing deals worth 2.85 billion (US $ 2.01 million) and that the KTTA had become clean in annual financial audits by the KSOC.

Although Ryu himself has not received any monetary stimuli, he can still be held responsible for the illegal rewards that were paid on his watch as KTTA president.

Ryu said that he would fully accept the decision of the ethical center, but defended the practice of the KTTA to publish cash rewards for securing sponsorship.

Ryu explained that incentives were introduced to encourage “aggressive marketing activities” for the KTTA, which often struggled financially with table tennis that was not a major sport in the country.

“I regret that I have not carefully viewed rules, even if decisions have been made for the well -being of the sport,” said Ryu.

Separately, the center also noted that the KTTA replaced a player in the 2021 Olympic team without going through a good process. According to the center, a KTTA officer first made a plea for one player for the national team, but when Ryu pointed out that another player had a better track record that led the change. The center said that the KTTA should have called for a meeting of the Competition Committee to revise the proposed schedule change.
