Incheon International Airport Corporation is publicly recruiting a professional performance team to showcase the appeal of Taekwondo, Korea's national martial art, at the airport terminal.

On September 28, Incheon International Airport Corporation announced that it will publicly recruit professional performance teams to participate in the "2025-2026 Incheon Airport Taekwondo Permanent Performance," which will be held as a regular performance starting in November. Previously, the corporation collaborated with the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation to hold special performances from July to September of this year. With an average of over 500 spectators per show and enthusiastic responses, the event will now be established as a regular performance.

The recruitment is open to Taekwondo performance teams composed of at least eight members aged 18 or older. Teams may apply with creative performances that freely incorporate breaking, poomsae, and K-pop dance elements. Applications can be submitted via email (icn_ca@naver.com) until October 10.

The corporation will select 10 teams through a first-round video screening, followed by a public audition at Incheon Airport Terminal 2 on October 17 to select the final five teams. The five teams selected in the final round will participate in the regular performances from November this year to June next year. The team chosen as the best of the year will be given special privileges, including the opportunity to participate in overseas busking performances and the production of promotional content.

Lee Hakjae, CEO of Incheon International Airport Corporation, said, "We expect this performance, held at the gateway to Korea, to serve as an opportunity to promote Taekwondo, Korea's representative martial art, to the world," and encouraged many talented Taekwondo practitioners to participate.
