The home page of Tae Kwon Do Times magazine notes this breaking news: "National Assembly in South Korea passes special law putting Kukkiwon under government control on Feb. 18, 2010. Anyone with a criminal record will no longer be allowed to be Kukkiwon president."

Knowing the criminal past of the current Kukkiwon president, Lee Seng-wan, the government announcement is no surprise.
