100 volunteers quit Olympics because they didn’t like assigned jobs

Park acknowledged that volunteers had complained about issues such as “snacks and transportation” and also voiced them to the Blue House, the residence of the nation’s President, Moon Jae In.

Volunteers, who are not paid apart from accommodation and receiving the official uniform, are crucial for the running of any Games.

“We are trying to take care of their needs. They are the face of the Games and very important for us,” Park said.
