G.M Dong-sup Lee of the Bareunmirae Party has been appointed as an advisor to the World Taekwondo Federation by the president of WT(Chungwon Choue) at the WT Conference Room of the World Taekwondo Federation building.
G.M Dong-sup Lee, as an advisor to the World Taekwondo Federation over the next two years, is expected to present more opinions on the development of the World Taekwondo Federation and its strengthening of taekwondo's status.
G.M Dong-sup Lee is currently the president of the National Assembly Taekwondo Federation and has shown unusual affection for taekwondo as he is the first official kukkiwon ninth degree among lawmakers. In addition, he has been making strenuous efforts for the status of taekwondo, taking the lead in legislating it as a "national martial art" last year.
Meanwhile, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Excellence by Chungwon Choue, president of the International Headquarters of the Bright Society and International Club.
Rep. G.M Lee said, "I will continue to do my best to keep alive the permanent events of the Olympics and promote taekwondo in the field of South-North-Korean economic cooperation and free trade, not to be ashamed of the WT advisory committee appointment and award."
