Over 2,500 Participants from Elementary Students to Adults Compete in Poomsae, Breaking, and Taekwondo Gymnastics
Dong-Eui University (President Han Suhwan) held the 12th President's Cup National Taekwondo Competition at the Dong-Eui University Hyomin Gymnasium over two days on the 5th and 6th.
This competition, which began in 2007 to popularize and promote Taekwondo, was temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 but resumed this year.
The 12th competition was divided into elementary, middle and high school, and adult divisions, with over 2,500 participants from across the country competing fiercely in official poomsae, breaking, Taekwondo aerobics, and free poomsae events.
In particular, at the opening ceremony, the Dong-Eui University Taekwondo Demonstration Team (led by Professor Jung Soonil) received an enthusiastic response from the audience by presenting a performance that combined Taekwondo, breaking, and various genres of dance and music.
Kim Sujeong, head of the Department of Taekwondo, who organized the competition, said, "We hope the Dong-Eui University President's Cup National Taekwondo Competition will help revive the local Taekwondo scene, which has stagnated since COVID-19, and we will do our best to expand and develop Taekwondo, the origin of the Korean Wave."
