The Korean Sports Council has achieved a 'good' rating in the 2025 management performance evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, marking a successful recovery in organizational management.
On July 14, the Sports Council announced that it received a good rating in the evaluation of management performance for public institutions and organizations in 2025, conducted by the ministry. Among the 42 institutions evaluated, only six improved their ratings compared to the previous year, with the Sports Council being the only organization to rise by two or more levels.
This marks a positive outcome for the Sports Council, the first in a decade since the merger of sports organizations in 2016. Previously, the council received the lowest rating of 'insufficient' in the 2024 management performance evaluation due to criticisms regarding fairness in hiring and organizational operations, as well as ethical management.
Following the appointment of Yoo Seung-min as president, the council introduced a new vision of 'Responsible Change for a Revitalized Korean Sports Council' and began a comprehensive reorganization. The council prioritized fairness and transparency, focusing on establishing a responsible management system, ensuring fair hiring and organizational operations, fostering an ethical and human rights-centered organizational culture, and enhancing transparency in financial and project management.
These efforts to improve organizational health were reflected in the recent evaluation, which comprehensively assessed management strategies, safety and responsible management, organizational and human resource management, and financial budget management.
Yoo Seung-min stated, "This achievement is the result of all employees working together with a shared commitment to implementing responsible sports administration based on fairness and transparency. We will continue to strive for change and innovation to build a Korean Sports Council that earns the trust of the public and athletes through responsible management and institutional improvements."
Earlier, the Sports Council received a significantly improved score in the 2025 evaluation of public data provision operations, achieving an 'excellent' rating, which far exceeds the average score of 57.4 (insufficient) for other public institutions.
Additionally, in the 2025 evaluation of cultural informatization levels conducted among 49 public institutions under the ministry, the Sports Council maintained an 'excellent' rating for the third consecutive year. This evaluation comprehensively examines the operational status of informatization tasks within the institutions.
