The Korea Football Association, which has been under intense criticism for its complacent response to Hwang Ui-jo, who is under police investigation for illegal filming, has belatedly come up with measures.
We held an emergency meeting by forming a discussion body with members of the Ethics Committee, the Fair Committee, and the National Power Reinforcement Committee.
After about an hour and a half of discussions, Hwang Ui-jo was decided not to be selected as the national team until the results of the investigation came out.

However, the government decided to suspend the permanent expulsion of the national team until the results of the investigation are released.
[Lee Yoon-nam / Chairman of the ethics committee of the Korea Football Association: We are not authorized to investigate the facts because the case is currently under investigation, so we cannot draw any disciplinary action or a clear conclusion on this matter.]
Chairman Lee then said, "We considered that national players have a high degree of morality and responsibility to maintain the honor of the national team, and that they have to manage various parts of their personal lives in that sense."
As a result, Hwang Ui-jo can be selected for the national team only if he is not prosecuted, and if he is prosecuted and goes to trial, there is a possibility that he will be permanently deprived of his national team status.
Hwang Ui-jo appeared before the police on the 18th for illegally filming sex videos with his ex-lover and was questioned as a suspect.
Since then, he has accompanied China in the second round of World Cup qualifiers, and national team coach Klinsmann has been under intense criticism for even allowing Hwang Ui-jo to play.
