"It is being reported out of Seoul, that the government in Korea has today seized the $30-million home of the President of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). They have also seized Kukkiwon, which is the Taekwondo sports complex owned by the Korean Amateur Sports Association, operated by the President of the World Taekwondo Federation. The headquarters of the WTF and the WTF World Academy are both tenants at Kukkiwon. No other information is available at this time." I wonder what this is about.... anyone else hear anything???
found this in the "Korean Herald", dated 9th of December. http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/archives/result_contents.asp?id=200312090062&query=taekwondo
I think Thomas started a thread about a scandle in the Kukkiwon. Something to do with gradings being issued and paid for but not being registered. He'll know more I think.
Just been on the phone to my Master. He said that there has been corruption for years, and anyone concerned about the authenticity of their Kukkiwon certificate should contact the Kukkiwon directly.
whew!!! .... breathing a non-WTF sigh of relief !!! There is a reason why there are org and unions out there that offer a "politics-free" environmnent... really there are!
