GCS International also plans to organize the 1st GCS President’s Cup International Hangung Event together with the World Hangung Association, while conducting voluntary GCS medical service abroad in cooperation with K-beauty and health organizations.

GCS International is to organize several GCS peace concerts jointly with local “gagok” organizations, and plans to promote an international event together with the Korea Saemaul Undong Center.

At the board meeting, GCS International Secretary General Dr. Seok-jae Kang reported that the number of GCS International increased to 80, up from 58 at the end of 2020.

At the board meeting, GCS International President Choue said, “GCS International successfully organized the World Taekwondo Peace Festival together with World Taekwondo on November 22, 2021 in Seoul, Korea to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Olympic Taekwondo and the 40th anniversary of the U.N.
