[On-point] From tradition to global influence: What's next for Taekwondo's growth?

Taekwondo, a traditional Korean martial art,.. has now evolved into a global sport --practiced worldwide with a focus on both physical and mental training.

Today, the 'World Taekwondo Culture Expo' kicked off here in South Korea and will run through next Tuesday.

For more on this, we're joined by Kim Jung-Heon, the Chairperson of the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation.

Mr. Kim, thanks for joining us this morning.

Could you give us a brief overview of the World Taekwondo Culture Expo and how it will help promote Taekwondo internationally?

The venue for this event, Taekwondowon,.. is where the World Taekwondo Diamond Game was held recently, right? Could you tell us about the significance of hosting international competitions like this, and any outcomes from that?

As Chairperson of the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation, could you tell us about the significance of Taekwondo as a sport, particularly how it focuses on building confidence and mental discipline, in addition to physical skill?

I understand that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation. What's the foundation's mission moving forward, and what are its key goals?

Taekwondo is practiced in over 200 countries worldwide. What further efforts are needed to support its continued global growth?

It's amazing how the traditional Korean martial art is practiced by millions across the world. We'll have to see how this year's World Taekwondo Culture Expo plays out.

Thank you so much for your time today. We appreciate it.
