In particular, there is considerable controversy over Chairman Chung\'s handling of the so-called "table tennis gate" incident in which Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in clashed during the Qatar Asian Cup.
Recalling the time, Chairman Chung said before the game, "More than 50 energetic young men are in the mainstream, so there will be ups and downs of emotions and sensitive events," adding, "There may be things that are annoying and unpleasant, but good results will follow only when we respect and encourage each other."
"We need mutual trust that the player next to me is my lack and that I can prevent my mistakes. Everyone, not only the players but also the staff, must become one team and show a mature attitude without expressing their feelings or feelings as they are," he stressed.
Despite this, Chairman Chung returned to his lodging facility after the match against Jordan, where problems arose. He seemed to be avoiding his responsibility, saying, "I learned that Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in had a fist fight the day before the match."
Regarding this, Chairman Chung said, "I had no choice but to worry about how to explain the situation to fans and the public, and I judged that it would not take long to be known to the media, no matter how thorough the security was."
In addition, regarding the collision between Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in, "Many members of our society seem to judge that the conflict within the national team at the Asian Cup is an incident in which a young player with a talented and creative atmosphere offended his seniors and broke down the hierarchy." Some even pointed out that they are criticizing (Lee Kang-in) by mobilizing the term "downbeat" used in the military.
