"Peace is more precious than triumph"…Taekwondo delivers a message of peace in Vatican
  • 6 years ago
South Korean Taekwondo performers showed off their dynamic moves at the Vatican and delivered their message of peace to the world.
They performed in front of Pope Francis at Saint Peter's Square on Wednesday.
At the end of the performance, they revealed a banner with the message "One World, One Taekwondo" to show their wish for a peaceful world.
After watching the performance, the Pope said he welcomes the reconciliatory mood between the two Koreas.
North Korean Taekwondo performers had also planned to take part, but they pulled out saying "Due to the U.S.-South Korea joint Max Thunder military exercise, the performance at the Vatican cannot take place".
