Is this real

🥚

So you gotta be this much of a superhuman to overcome the disadvantage of being a woman and become secretary general lmaooo

🥚

That's why those power-trippers get promoted so easily...

🥚

What the hell do you gotta see people as to say something that messed up. Makes me dizzy

🐿️

She better be qualified because the comments are gonna be BRUTAL either way smh

In the cropped part of that photo, when you see the secretary general's statement: 'I never said I'd take 100% responsibility.' (But phone recordings with the parents right after the accident found: 'We'll take 100% responsibility, don't worry.') 'I felt so bad like he was trying to cash in on his son ending up like this.' The secretary general is currently suspended. The Korean Sports Association chairman (Yoo Seung-min) did make an official apology but... it's hard to just let this slide... ㄷㄷ Reference: https://youtu.be/SteHoCFXa-4?si=AOLyqHMsy631DW7U

She was trying to spin a feel-good story and get it in the news for publicity, so yeah she was trying to cash in. Anyway it did make the news

🥚

What were Yoo Seung-min's eyes for judging people? How'd he bring someone like this... The chairman has to make the official apology. Since he handpicked her, he should probably do something about his choice too...

🥚

wait this is actually huge, can't believe it took this long lol

🥚

That's a power-tripper alright damn it

🥚

A middle school student named A from a school in Muan, Jeonnam collapsed during a match at a multipurpose gym in Seogwipo, Jeju last September and has been unconscious ever since. Regarding this, Secretary General Kim recently denied the support she promised to the victim's family right after the accident. Also, according to Mokpo MBC coverage, Secretary General Kim made inappropriate remarks like 'the kid never had any possibility' and 'is he trying to cash in on this', escalating the controversy. Geez

🥚

Absolutely insane

''Kim Nami, she's back!' Korean Sports Association's first female secretary general era 'Breaking the glass ceiling, playing the role of athletes' mom'... 'Young leader' Chairman Yoo Seung-min's number one pick[EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]https://www.chosun.com/sports/sports_general/2025/03/12/Z4E6PPZBM3R7DXTWCFEXJSVBJU/'"The late Kim Sung-gyun, who pioneered early Korean winter sports culture, was Vice President Kim's father, and Lee Jung-soon, an art history PhD and bestselling author of 'Strong Women Live Like Watercolors,' was her mother.""Chairman Yoo Seung-min wanted an experienced female leader from the sports world as the new secretary general, a winter sports administration specialist ahead of next year's Milano Cortina Olympics." "Secretary General Kim deeply considered the suggestion from a junior she cared about. 'After the incident broke, looking at the PR articles... there's actually some funny stuff...'

Women's empathy << recent overrated GOAT

🥚

The UN really said 'let's wait over a century' 💀 congrats on catching up I guess

🥚

Finally!! 105 years is absolutely wild when you think about it. About time honestly 🙌

🥚

This is amazing news but also depressing that it's 2024 and this is still considered newsworthy??

🥚

genuinely didn't know the UN had never had a female secretary general before this, that's insane

🥚

okay but can we talk about what she's actually going to DO or are we just celebrating the gender part 🤔
