A Jordanian team and the South Korean group known as
the K-Tigers performed to a packed room of awed attendees.
Opening the event, Ambassador of South Korea to
Jordan
Lee Jae-wan commended the long-standing, “comprehensive and cooperative”
relationship tying the two countries, and said that taekwondo seemed to be the
perfect activity to commemorate these ties, due to both nations’ great interest
in the sport.
The performance began with the Jordanian taekwondo
team performing synchronized exercises. The fast-paced performance was filled
with acrobatic stunts. It was capped off by the Jordanian team forming a
pyramid structure, and jolting one of the athletes’ high in the air, where he
performed a high kick, broke a box and unveiled a Jordanian flag.
The K-Tigers followed, beginning their performance
with a culture-inspired synchronized fight-and-dance, using themes from the
globally famous South Korean music genre known as K-Pop, where artists dance,
sing and rap in a grand performance.
Like the Jordanian team, the Korean group made a
great show of athleticism, with high jumps, kicks, and spins.
The Korean group
further awed the already ecstatic crowd, ultimately giving the event a grand
ending.
