Former LG Investment & Securities coach Lee Joon-hee (67) has been elected as the 44th chairman of the Korea Ssireum Association. In an election held at Mokwon University in Daejeon on Monday, Lee beat Ryu Jae-sun, former vice chairman of the association, and Hwang Kyung-soo, current chairman of the association. His term will be four years from January 16 next year. It is the first time that a former professional ssireum player, who was launched in 1983, has become the head of the association. Lee, who won the title three times of Cheonha Jangsa and seven times of Baekdu Jangsa, led the heyday of professional ssireum in the 1980s along with Lee Man-ki (61) and Lee Bong-gul (67). Lee was loved by fans for his neat manners as well as his outstanding skills. 토토사이트
