[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 2nd, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon will sign a business agreement with the 'Kukkiwon' at the city hall video conference room.


'Kukkiwon' opened in 1972 as the central Taekwondo training center and has played a leading role in promoting Taekwondo worldwide by forming a demonstration team that tours various countries. This year marks its 50th anniversary.


The plan is to revitalize 'Kukkiwon,' the sacred place for Taekwondo practitioners worldwide and the national martial art (Gukgi) of Korea, to solidify its status as the birthplace of Taekwondo and further develop Taekwondo as a tourism content of Seoul.



The Seoul city government explained, "Mayor Oh plans to take the first step by signing an agreement with Director Lee Dong-seop of Kukkiwon to seek continuous growth and future development directions for Taekwondo together."
