tl;dr: is still that the former chairman of KeSPA Jun Byung-Hun, who is also a politician, is being investigated for receiving bribes from a TV homeshopping business in return for political favors. The bribes were received in the form of a sponsorship for the 2015 KeSPA Cup tournament (2nd season), of which a third of the money was embezzled and laundered. Mr. Jun has not been directly charged, but Korean investigators have slowly tightened the net by apprehending and questioning the people around him, including current KeSPA officials. | ||

Ex-chairman Jun was brought in for direct questioning by investigators, where he denied any personal involvement in wrongdoing. No updates on any of the principle charges; just that the prosecutors finally have the primary suspect in their hands. | ||

The olympic comitee should reconsider I don't know how serious you were being, but there's actually some connection here. Mr. Jun was also the chairman of the IeSF, an international esports group centered in Korea which appeared to have ambitions of becoming an IOC-esque body for esports in the future (they quietly held many Olympics-style events). | ||

Virtually every single major sports organization is rampant with corruption. Now they can see that esports is just like them, yay! | ||
