"I often go abroad, and when I meet Koreans there, I often say that I will give them business cards or treat them to meals," he said. "That pleasure was memorable, so I participated in this program as well."
In particular, when asked about an impressive episode of meeting with overseas Koreans, Choi Jung-hoon said, `My uncle recognized me a lot, but I received only five Taekwondo gym business cards," he said, drawing laughter. He said, `I realized that Korean culture such as Taekwondo is deeply rooted overseas as well"I was moved because I felt the warm welcome to people from Korea," he added.

Through this program, Choi Jung-hoon met with young Koreans living abroad in person to talk about 'Arirang' and explore what Arirang means to them.
