"Cohosting is like a three-legged race," Lee Yun Taek, co-chairman of the South Korean World Cup Organizing Committee said last month at the Korea-Japan soccer journalists seminar in Seoul.
"It doesn't work if only one of the two does well. You've got to synchronize your mind with your partner. That's what it means to cohost and is the difficult part of the exercise," Lee explained.
In the two-day conference, hosted by the South Korean National Council, some of the soccer journalists from the two nations got together to trade their opinions about the 2002 World Cup, which the two countries will jointly host. The subjects were varied -- how to promote the World Cup, what to expect from the event, economic prospects, preparation of the two national teams, etc. It was interesting to find out the opinions of the Korean journalists regarding the cohosting of the event.
