The Department of Taekwondo at Dongshin University announced on May 29 that it was recently invited to perform a Taekwondo demonstration at the official cultural event of the "2025 Shandong International Sister Cities Cooperation and Development Conference" held in Weihai City, Shandong Province, China.

The demonstration team, consisting of 12 student members and Professor Jeong Myungkyu, participated in the event for five days and four nights. They contributed to introducing the authenticity and artistry of Korean Taekwondo to the world and promoting international exchange.

The performance was organized to foster international exchange and cooperation between Jeollanam-do and Shandong Province.

The demonstration, presented by the Dongshin University Department of Taekwondo, featured a high-quality program that combined poomsae, breaking, and creative performances, leaving a strong impression on the local audience.

Since its establishment in 2022, the Dongshin University Department of Taekwondo has focused on practice-based education and global exchange. Starting from the 2025 academic year, the department has introduced a new demonstration selection process to recruit outstanding students with Taekwondo demonstration skills. The team that performed at this event was also composed of members carefully selected through this process.

Kim Cheolmin, head of the Department of Taekwondo, stated, "This demonstration in China provided students with international experience and served as an opportunity to promote the excellence of Korean Taekwondo to the world. We will continue to pursue cultural exchange activities centered on K-Taekwondo in the future."
