PPP blasts handling of North Korea's solo Unesco taekwondo bid

Ham In-kyung, a People Power Party (PPP) spokesperson, criticized the government for failing to "protect the South's cultural heritage" as the North moves closer to securing a Unesco listing for taekwondo on its own.

The main opposition People Power Party (PPP) blasted the government for failing to protect the country’s national sport as North Korea moves closer to securing a Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage listing for taekwondo on its own — not jointly with South Korea.

“What on earth has the government been doing?” Ham In-kyung, a PPP spokesperson, said in a statement on Saturday. “This is taekwondo of all things. What did our government do while North Korea pursued a solo Unesco listing for [the sport]? Must the government tiptoe around the North even when it comes to protecting the South’s cultural heritage?”

People Power Party Blames Government Over Taekwondo's Likely North Korean Listing

Spokesperson Ham In-kyung: "What Has the Government Been Doing but Watching?"

The People Power Party on the 7th criticized the government over the near-certain listing of taekwondo, South Korea's national martial art, on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as a "traditional North Korean martial art," saying, "What has the government been doing but watching?"

Ham In-kyung, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a commentary that day, "Must we even defer to North Korea when it comes to protecting the Republic of Korea's cultural heritage?"

Ham said, "What is even more appalling is the Korea Heritage Service's response," pointing out that "ahead of the announcement of the review results, a private organization asked the agency to deliver an official letter to UNESCO explaining the case for a joint inter-Korean listing of taekwondo, but while the Korea Heritage Service responded that it had sent the letter, the organization claims it was never actually delivered."
