[3] Vice president Jun Myung-kyu resigned due to accusations of preferential treatment and encouraging factional conflict.

[5] In 2018, the Korea Skating Union was again audited by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism following a series of corruption scandals, resulting in the dismissal of its executives.

[6] Jun Myung-kyu resigned yet again, having been reinstated in 2017, after it was found that he had maintained "undue influence" at the union through the operation of an unofficial executive board, in violation of KSOC's 2016 order.

[4][5] The audit found further evidence of wrongdoings, including inappropriate hiring practices and selection of national team athletes, and suspicious processes in choosing sponsors.

[14][16] In January 2019, when the Korea skating union was all over the news by a sexual assault scandal, some athletes who testified to the South Korean media stated that, "Even with guaranteed anonymity, the risk is too high."

"[17] Within this situation, athletes were divided among coaches, universities, and semi-professional teams, leading to competition and eventually forming factions within the union.

[20][21] Moreover, two vice-presidents of the Korea Skating Union were investigated for receiving money from the parents of the athlete who was excluded from the national team due to assault.

[22] According to statements from six female athletes in November 2004, including Choi Eun-kyung, Yeo Soo-yeon, Byun Chun-sa, Heo Hee-bin, Kang Yun-mi, and Jin Sun-yu, they experienced severe physical abuse, with hair being pulled out and being beaten with hockey sticks by coaches.

The 2004 assault case involving the women's team remained under the surface for a decade until it was brought back to attention in 2014, in connection with Viktor Ahn's naturalization.

[27][30] At Incheon International Airport, Ahn Hyun-soo's father assaulted the vice-president of the Korea Skating Union, after the World Championships.

[38][39] Ahn Hyun-Soo's father has decided to reveal the match-fixing of the national team trial for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver due to the following reasons.

Lee Jung-su revealed that he had not injured his ankle, but the coaches went on to force him to write a statement claiming he could not participate due to his injury.

[41][42] Although the disciplinary actions for Lee Jung-su and Kwak Yoon-gy were reduced from three years to six months,[43][44] all coaches, including Kim Ki-hoon and Chun Jae-mok, faced penalties.

[30][54] Another South Korean media, MBN reported that Ahn Hyun-soo was excluded from the Olympic qualifiers for not following the faction leader's orders.

[60][29] In March 2014, the day Viktor Ahn won his sixth World Championship overall title, Jun Myung-kyu resigned from his vice-presidential position.

[64][68] Jun Myung-kyu and his supporters argued that his disciples achieved great results, and forces that envy him conspired with political powers to defame him.

[69][70] Indeed, Viktor Ahn repeatedly denied issues of factionalism, discord with Vice President Jun Myung-kyu, and penalties from the Korea Skating Union during the three Olympic periods from 2014 to 2022.

[29][76] In 2014, there were accusations of sexual harassment by a coach of the Hwaseong regional team, who had the authority regarding selection and renewal of contracts for the female athletes.

Viktor Ahn and Shim Suk-hee, known to have been subjected to assault and pressure between 2018 and 2019, made these statements defending Professor Jun, leading to a confusing situation.

[88] Later that day, Professor Jun Myung-kyu held a press conference at the Olympic Park Hotel in Songpa District, Seoul, to deny allegations of sexual assault cover-ups against him.

He also claimed that the Young Ice Skaters' Alliance lured Coach Cho Jae-beom into writing a false statement.

[93] In December 2020, Park Ji-hoon, a lawyer who led the charge against Professor Jun Myung-kyu in January 2019 as a spokesperson for the Young Ice Skaters Solidarity, criticized them, saying "They talked about human rights but only used them.

"[101][102] At that time, Choi Soon-sil's nephew, Jang Si-ho, was criticized for embezzling hundreds of millions of taxes for the construction of a winter center.

Because of this, famous speed skating athlete and coach Lee Kyou-hyuk attended a National Assembly hearing and was investigated.

[103][104] Other notable figures in the ice skating community, including Olympic gold medalists and famous commentators, were also mentioned.

[102][70] Allegations included political collusion in coaching appointments, embezzlement of public funds, and covering up past sexual scandal.

[107] In relation to this, in February 2018, Congressman Ahn Min-seok, who was investigating the Korea Skating Union, describing it like a clash of the old and new evils, mentioned that former Skating Union President Chang Myung-hee’s and Vice President Jun Myung-kyu’s faction had been engaged in a power struggle for decades.

In 2022, former national representative figure skating coach Lee Kyu-hyun was sentenced to four years in prison for attempted rape of a female athlete.
