The venue for the Poomsae Upgrading Course has been confirmed.

A Different Experience for the Audience
2012 World Tour ‘TAL’ took the performers to 11 countries to showcase their fantastic skills and artistry. Singapore was one of the stops. And the event was part of the 2012 Korea Festival organized by the Korea Embassy of Singapore.
As the event was supported by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF), the Management decided to purchase tickets for regular volunteers of the organization. Those who picked up their tickets certainly did not regret doing so as they had a great time.
In appreciation of the support of the STF, HE Oh Joon presented Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, with framed posters of the event.
The show provided a different way of presenting the beauty and uniqueness of taekwondo. It highlighted extreme taekwondo performance with a storyline which was simply about the eventual victory of good over evil. If kicking, punching and breaking were not enough, the audience had a complete entertainment for the night as they were treated to Korean music and dance and mesmerized by the electrifying drum performance.
At the end of the show, the audience had plenty of photo opportunities with the stars. Sure enough, many took pictures with the performers and some took autographed planks.
