For the first time in its history, the largest taekwondo festival in the world could be held outside South Korea and the place in 2021 could be Bulgaria. This possibility has been discussed at an extraordinary meeting with the participation of Lee Dong Sup, President of the World Taekwondo Headquarters - Kukkiwon and the president of the World Professional Taekwondo Federation, Ho Seung Bang.

Realization of the event outside South Korea would be the first of its kind. The most attractive combat festival in the world is expected to take place in the summer of 2021. It will bring together participants from all over the world, including the elite of this Olympic sport, BNR’s "Horizont" program reported.
