The event, a collaboration between the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) and the Global Taekwondo Support Foundation for Peace and Unification, was held at the famous City Hall Plaza.

Taekwondo demonstrations were a part of the day, and fans were given the chance to meet South Korea's five medallists from Rio.

Kim So-hui won gold in the women's 49kg category, with compatriot Oh Hye-ri triumphing in the women's 67kg class.

There were also three bronze medals in men's competitions, for Kim Tae-hun at 58kg, Lee Dae-hoon at 68kg and Cha Dong-min at over 80kg.

South Korean K-Pop music was also part of the Festival, which took place on September 4 - Taekwondo Day.

This commemorates the day in 1994 when the sport was added to the Olympic schedule ahead of the Sydney Games in 2000.

Taekwondo had previously been a demonstration sport at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.

"A sport with 80 million people in 206 countries can and should play a bigger role for world peace," said WTF President Chungwon Choue. 

"The WTF acknowledges the positive impact taekwondo can have on  more people, especially those living in conflict zones, and will do more work for this end.”

Anyone with an interest in taekwondo was able to attend the event, which was free of charge.
