CEO Message

“Leading the future of new sports”

Taegeuk World Sports develops and promotes new sports that people of every age can enjoy.

Taegeuk-Minton brings together the principles of Taegeuk movement, a racket shaped like the traditional Korean sogo drum, and badminton to create an everyday sport for public health. It reduces the injuries that one-handed sports can cause, develops the body evenly and stimulates the brain.

We will keep working so that Taegeuk-Minton becomes Korea's signature two-handed badminton.
