In the case of PyeongChang 2014, those officials are: Bid Committee Chairman Han Seung-soo, Mayor of PyeongChang Kwon Hyuk- seung, and KOC Chairman Kim Jung-kil, respectively.

Signing this document also acknowledges the PyeongChang 2014 bid committee’s commitment to the Olympic Charter and its fundamental principles, and affirms that the PyeongChang bid committee shall abide by all IOC rules and regulations governing Olympic bid campaigns, as well as the IOC Code of Ethics.
