| Foreign artists in Korea also actively participate in the bid to attract Busan

Foreign artists who participated in the Busan Expo are performing a challenge performance in front of the Blue House main building under the guidance of Lee Ji-sung, a Taekwondo professor at Kukkiwon.

The BIF General Assembly, which will decide to host the 2030 World Expo, is about a month away.

While the president and government departments and other business circles are engaged in all-out war, 10 foreign artists working in Korea participated in the Busan Expo cheering event.

On the 17th, about 10 foreigners dressed in taekwondo uniforms in front of the main building of Cheong Wa Dae read the basic Taekwondo movements under the guidance of Dr. Lee Ji-sung, a Taekwondo advisor at Kukkiwon, and participated in the demonstration team performance.

Alba Téllez Mun ̃oz, a 28-year-old Spanish actor who participated in the cheering event, said, "I have learned Taekwondo for a long time in Spain. Taekwondo is a popular sport after soccer in our country, he said. "One thing that's unfortunate is that Koreans don't seem to know that taekwondo is a world-class martial art," he said. "It's like a dream to take a joint photo with the flag-won demonstration team, which I've always envied."

Sofia (26, model, Sofia) from Italy said, "It's my third year in Korea, and it's rewarding to be with me to film a wish to host the 2023 Busan World Expo, and it's so much fun to learn Taekwondo for a little while today," adding, "I think it'll be great to diet and protect my body, so I'm going to go to the Taekwondo studio and start Taekwondo training."

Meanwhile, their promotional videos will be spread around the world through the official YouTube channel, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, participating local governments, YouTube, and SNS to wish to host the 2030 Busan World Expo.

Korean and foreigners who participated in the cheering group include SHIN QIAN CHEW (Singapore), Scarlett Better (Columbia), Julia (JULIA, Spain), Paronetto Sofia (Italy), Alba Téllez Mun ̃oz (Spain), Matheus (Portugal), Jo Mi-ra (Korea), and Park Gyuri (Korea).
