Hosted by the World Martial Arts Federation, this event aims to promote cultural, tourism, and martial arts exchanges between Korea and Vietnam and to promote friendship between the two countries. During this Korea-Vietnam Exchange Week, the Korean traditional martial arts Taekkyeon and Ssireum contingents and cultural performance teams will tour universities and opera houses around Ho Chi Minh City to provide a special opportunity for communication with local citizens.
The wrestling demonstration team, which held an official press conference and various business agreement ceremonies on the 12th, began to ‘populate the world of wrestling’ in earnest from the 13th. The first stop was the Ho Chi Minh University of Economics and Finance (UEF). After finishing the demonstration of Korea's Taekkyeon and Vietnam's traditional martial art Bo Vinam demonstration team on a special outdoor stage crowded with local Vietnamese college students, they went on stage.
The players showed hand techniques, waist techniques, and foot techniques one by one according to the instructions of referee Jong-min Lee, drawing a positive response from the audience. Then, through a special one-on-one sparring between players, a wonderful game was presented where lively power and witty techniques were mixed together. The 12-member team was divided into two teams and competed six times, conveying the diverse charm of wrestling.
Geoje City Hall Choi Da-hye, who participated as a representative of the general women's division, said, “It seems that Vietnamese culture itself enjoys these kinds of performances a lot, but not only students but also citizens passing by responded very positively. “Thanks to this, our players were able to have fun demonstrating,” she said with a bright smile. Seon Chae-rim of Gurye-gun Office, who was with him, also said, “I have played exhibition games with elementary school students in Korea, but this is the first time I have had such an event in a foreign country. There were more people gathered than I expected, so I was nervous and nervous. But fortunately, I was able to finish it well because a lot of people enjoyed it,” he said.
Then, on the 14th, he visited Ho Chi Minh Sports University and met with athletes representing the city. At the event held in the indoor gymnasium, the demonstration team had a special time to give local students a chance to experience wrestling, in addition to demonstrating skills and exhibition matches. He also provided pleasant memories by holding a special 5-on-5 wrestling match with the university judo team.
The students' enthusiasm was great. Not only did he actively participate in the event, but he also created an interesting scene where he challenged Korean wrestling players with a burning desire to win. After the event was over, the players were so enthusiastic that they even asked for personal photos.
Son Hee-chan from the Jeungpyeong County Office, who was dispatched as a representative of the general men's department, said, “There were a lot more people than I expected, and I felt welcomed,” adding, “This is my first time attending an event like this overseas. “I am really proud of the fact that I came to promote wrestling, and I also feel a sense of duty,” he said.
Lee Jun-hyung of Yongin University, head of the university division, also said, “I felt catharsis from the great response. He laughed, “It was a meaningful time just to hold the loincloth and move with athletes from other sports.” He continued, “I’m having a really good time experiencing the local culture. I am grateful that I can pour my energy into Vietnamese people who do not know wrestling. “I’m having a really meaningful time,” he said, raising his voice.
