The main purpose of this study is to prepare a plan for inter-Korean Taekwondo exchange to establish peace and unification on the Korean Peninsula, which will be of practical help in promoting the government's North Korea policy and sports exchange. This study aims to review the importance of factors that were left out in the study of “A Study on the Taekwondo Exchange Revitalization Plans to Mitigate tensions between South and North Korea”. The factors to be reviewed are four factors each in the government and in the Taekwondo federation and private areas. Government areas include supporting for education and research on Taekwondo exchanges between the two Korea, signing an inter-Korean agreement separating politics and sports exchanges, promoting the creation of a second Taekwondo park in the Kaesong Industrial Complex, and providing Taekwondo supplies and equipment to North Korea on a humanitarian basis. In the federation and the private areas, four factors are to promote integration or merger of the World Taekwondo and the International Taekwondo Federation, to hold an annual seminars and conferences about inter-Korean Taekwondo or sports exchanges, to establish an international non-governmental organization (NGO) for inter-Korean sports exchanges and cooperation, and to support North Korean Taekwondo athletes for participation in Paris 2024 Olympics.
