[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Yoon Hong-geun, chairman of Genesis BBQ Group, has been officially recognized as the new president of the Korea Skating Union.

On the 11th, the Skating Union announced that the Korea Sports Council approved Chairman Yoon as the 33rd president of the Korea Skating Union on the 7th.

Earlier, the Skating Union's election management committee held a meeting on the 9th of last month to review any disqualifications for candidate Yoon, who ran unopposed, and subsequently confirmed him as the president-elect.

With this, the Skating Union welcomes a new president and is expected to accelerate normalization as the Korea Sports Council has lifted its designation as a management organization. A Skating Union official stated, "Chairman Yoon's inauguration ceremony will be planned after forming the executive team, while monitoring the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)."
