Heo is a veteran soccer player who played for and coached the national team. He is targeting the first time in 13 years as a former soccer player since Cho Joong-yeon, who led the association from 2009 to 2012.
Former chairman Huh said, "At first, I was negative about running for office, but I changed my mind after hearing that it was a soccer association for soccer, but no soccer player participated. Someone was encouraged by the idea of representing a soccer player."
Former chairman Huh emphasized the need for a footballer-turned-president. Professional baseball has become a "national sport," surpassing 10 million spectators for the first time this year. Since KBO President Koo Hu-yeon took the leadership role, he has made rapid progress.
Former chairman Huh said, "Professional baseball also had a difficult time, but it has been getting good results since COVID-19. President Hu Jie-yeon is not the head of the company. I am as confident as I am as president Hu Jie-yeon of baseball. I am determined to make it happen while running on my feet," he said. Even if he is not a businessman, he thinks he can play his role as a soccer player who knows the ecology of the soccer world well.
In fact, Heo has a lot of experience in the soccer world. He has worked as a player, leader, and administrator. From 2020 to 2023, relatively recently, he served as chairman of Daejeon and experienced various fields such as youth and professional.
"My strength is that I know the field very well," Huh said. "I know the reality of youth soccer and even professional baseball. I have always had in mind how to develop it. That's why I dare to challenge myself as a soccer player."
