Questions have been raised about President Yoon Suk-yeol s recent criticism of the Korea Football Association (KFA), which came just after HDC Group Chairman Chung Mong-gyu, who leads the association, was unexpectedly excluded from the president s dinner with the national football team, which reached the round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
A prizewinning cartoon drawn by a high schooler satirizing President Yoon Suk-yeol has ignited a debate over freedom of expression in the National Assembly Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee s annual audit, Wednesday.
