Badminton Association criticized at Paris Olympics, breaks long silence, expresses regret on SNS Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism “Investigation without convening board meeting”
Association pushes ahead with investigation amid controversy over violation of procedure.
Ahn Se-young posted the post at 3:24 PM that day. The Korea Badminton Association held the first meeting of the fact-finding committee regarding Ahn Se-young’s comments made immediately after the Paris Olympics final at 2:30 PM that day. Immediately after winning the gold medal in the women’s singles at the Paris Olympics on the 5th, Ahn Se-young expressed her dissatisfaction with the national team and the Badminton Association, making comments that could be seen as her intention to leave the national team.
On the 16th, Ahn Se-young wrote on Instagram, "Instead of a war of words with the Badminton Association, I hope to have a time to have an honest conversation about what I've experienced, and I hope to have that opportunity soon." She added, "I hope that we can gradually reduce our differences of opinion about the system, communication, and (injury) care, and operate within the bounds of common sense that everyone can understand."
He also wrote, “I have confirmed that the Korea Sports Council and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will investigate the truth,” and “I hope the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Council will listen to the voices of the players.”
Ahn Se-young once again apologized for the damage her remarks caused to other national team players right after the Olympic finals. He said, “The repercussions (of my remarks) have caused damage to the players who should have been congratulated and encouraged during the Olympics. I once again apologize to the Korean national team players and officials.” Ahn Se-young had previously posted on the 8th, “Because of my remarks, the moments when I should have been fully enjoying congratulations and honor were all washed away like a tidal wave. I sincerely apologize to the players.”
Ahn Se-young concluded her post on the 16th by saying, “I don’t know how this situation will unfold in the future, and I am terrified that I might not be able to play badminton. However, I have decided to write this after much thought in order to repay the support and interest I have received from the people.”
On this day, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism pointed out that there was a “procedural violation” in the process of forming the fact-finding committee and demanded that the fact-finding committee be re-formed. The Badminton Association’s articles of association stipulate that the establishment of various committees within the organization must be deliberated and resolved by the board of directors, but they did not properly follow this. However, the Badminton Association held the first meeting of the fact-finding committee as scheduled that afternoon. Ahn Se-young did not attend the meeting that day. The Badminton Association stated, “At the next meeting, we plan to hear the opinions of national team players, including Ahn Se-young, and hold additional discussions to improve the system.” 파워볼사이트
