Resumen

El General Choi Hong Hi ha sido durante mucho tiempo una figura controvertida en la República de Corea (ROK; Corea del Sur), a pesar de su enorme influencia en el taekwondo. La “Conference for the 100th Anniversary of Choi Hong Hi: Taekwon-Do and Life; How to View Choi Hong Hi” se celebró el 28 de noviembre de 2018 en la Korea National Sport University. El presente informe sobre dicha conferencia tiene el propósito de difundir los hallazgos de los conferenciantes a una audiencia más amplia y establecer nuevas líneas de debate académico sobre el taekwondo de la Federación Internacional de Taekwon-Do (ITF). Esta conferencia también sacó a la luz algunos problemas existentes en la literatura sobre el taekwondo; a saber, que la literatura de la ITF está muy oscurecida debido a la investigación existente sobre su contraparte olímpica. Además, parece que el único órgano de gobierno del taekwondo de la ROK interesado en restablecer el legado del General Choi es la Fundación para la Promoción del Taekwondo. Sin embargo, aunque era un tema tabú en la ROK hace una década, el clima político existente en el país ha cambiado y el legado del General Choi está resurgiendo lentamente.
