An executive hiatus has become inevitable for the Korea Football Association, which has numerous tasks such as re-appointment of Hong Myung-bo as the head coach of the Korean national soccer team and the appointment of a head coach of the U-23 national soccer team. This is because the election for the president of the Korea Football Association has returned to square one at a time when the executives formed under Chairman Chung Mong-kyu are about to expire.
