\uc5f0\ud569\ub274\uc2a4 \uc790\ub8cc<\/span>\n<\/div>\n The Korea Sports Association has placed Secretary-General Kim Na-mi on an emergency suspension after she made insensitive remarks about a middle school boxer, identified as A, who fell into a coma during a match.In a May 1 press release, the association said that, given the gravity of the situation, it immediately suspended all of Kim\u2019s duties and authority effective May 1 and removed her from organizational activities. The association described the move as the strongest measure available prior to formal disciplinary proceedings.A, a student at a middle school in Muan County, South Jeolla Province, was struck and knocked unconscious during a bout at the 55th Presidential Cup national boxing tournament in Seogwipo, Jeju, last September. He has not regained consciousness in the eight months since the incident. Critics contend that inadequate emergency response cost precious time, and officials from the Korea Boxing Association have been subject to investigation. The Korea Sports Association has pledged to uncover the facts and to take responsibility.Kim, who visited the boy at the hospital and initially said, \u201cI will take 100% responsibility,\u201d later backtracked, claiming she never said she would provide \u201c100% support.\u201d She also criticized the boy\u2019s parents\u2014who attempted to record their conversation\u2014saying she felt \u201cvery offended, as if they were trying to profit from their son\u2019s condition.\u201d She went on to state, \u201cThe child had no chance from the start. He\u2019s already brain-dead. The probability that he will wake up now is\u2026\u201d Her remarks, once made public, provoked widespread outrage.Association President Yu Seung-min, who was on a business trip to China at the time, returned early and suspended Kim\u2019s duties. Kim, a former alpine skier, has served as vice president of the International Biathlon Union and as secretary-general of the Sports Talent Development Foundation. She was appointed in March as the first woman to hold the secretary-general post shortly after Yu took office.#KoreaSportsAssociation #KimNaMi #VerbalMisconduct #BoxingAccidentYonhap News TV \u2014 Story inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk\/Line jebo23; Park Ji-eun (run@yna.co.kr)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
