Park Ji-sung, chair of the K Football Innovation Committee, criticized Kim Jong Kook's "lack of qualification."
On the 25th, tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' official social account posted the text and video: "Next president of the football association Kim Jong Kook(?) K Football Innovation Committee chair Park Ji-sung 'Kim Jong Kook was unqualified as Shootdori coach.'"
The video contained scenes from the 'You Quiz on the Block' episode airing on the 29th, and Park Ji-sung appeared as a guest. Yu Jae-seok first said, "On the program I jokingly recommended Kim Jong Kook for president of the Korea Football Association. He said if you put him in charge he'll work hard. He said he would do it unpaid, not even taking 10 won."
At that moment Kim Jong Kook appeared on set, and Park Ji-sung said, "He contacted me yesterday. He said he'd be on 'You Quiz on the Block' today." Yu Jae-seok, Park Ji-sung and Kim Jong Kook, who formed their bond through 'Running Man,' smiled at each other in a friendly atmosphere, creating a warm mood.
Asked whether he had any intention of becoming a coach, Park Ji-sung said, "It's too late. You have to get certifications and it takes a long time. I have up to B level, but to be a coach you have to get A level and P level. Only by getting P level are you qualified to coach a first team."
At this, Yu Jae-seok said, "Kim Jong Kook once coached 'Shootdori' in the past," and Park Ji-sung shot back, "Given the current situation, you could say he did it unqualified," prompting laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong Kook served as a coach on 'Fly Shootdori,' which first aired in 2005.
