The tournament, co-hosted by the Vietnam Taekwondo Federation and the Korean Cultural Centre, the embassy of the Republic of Korea in Vietnam, aimed to offer a good opportunity to showcase up-and-coming athletes.

In addition, it provides a platform to nurture promising young talents who could potentially compete in the national youth team at future international competitions, including the 31st Southeast Asian (SEA) Games due to be held in Vietnam in 2021.

The tournament drew more than 850 competitors nationdwide to participate. All participants were admired for their enthusiasm in taking part with vigour in the true spirit of the sport of Taekwondo.

The RoK's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has endeavored to establish the sport event as the representative project of sports public diplomacy such as holding the Taekwondo championship hosted by overseas diplomatic missions for Taekwondo trainees in foreign countries since 2014.

The championship served as an opportunity to help promote Taekwondo, the Korean traditional martial art, and to promote more diverse cultures and attractive features of Korea to the participants who came to know about Korea through Taekwondo.
