Day 4: Lecture & Demo with Dr. Tae Yun Kim at Church, Then a Tour of Itaewon!

Hello all from Korea,

The Jung Suwon Demo Team has just finished an exciting day where we met interesting and important people!

We first started our day with an energizing early morning workout. Afterwards, we dressed into different attire from our normal routine: formal wear -suits and ties. For today's event we went to a church runned by Head Pastor Chang called "Jesus Town Church."

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim gave an inspiring lecture on her life story and how she struggled to get to where she is today. The lecture was to help inspire the members, and most importantly the young adults and teenagers, to keep working hard.

After the lecture the demo team had a chance to perform. We did routines including: the bully routine featuring Nabi White and Jonathan Palmer, Elbow strike with myself (A.Z Saigal), spinning roundhouse combo break by Luke Amador, and special head breaking demonstration by Mr. Daniel Koh.

All of these breakings were followed up with a backflip breaking and matrix done by Jonathan Palmer and Nabi White. Then we all finished with Dr. Kim and Jung Su Wons famous motto: “HE, CAN, DO! SHE CAN DO! WHY NOT ME!” Afterwards, the Demo Team had lunch with Pastor Chang and his team. He explained how much of an inspiration we were to the youth of the church. We told the pastor that we were grateful to be in that position, and that we were thankful for the pastor to share his time, his hospitality, and setting up these events for Dr. Tae Yun Kim and her team.

Once the team finished our meeting at the church, we were all left with an open schedule to enjoy the sites for the rest of the night. Fortunately, Itaewon had a festival going on, and we were able to enjoy the events with a live concert, many different street foods to enjoy, and souvenir shops where we could buy items for loved ones at home in America.

After all the fun and festivities, the Demo Team was ready to head back to the hotel to rest up for the upcoming events the next day!

Through all the hard work we put in our demonstrations, the team really feels like we are making a difference in the crowd and fulfilling our mission to help save lives. REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING INTO DIFFICULTIES, THIS IS WHAT YOURE GOING TO SAY!!!

HE CAN DO!

SHE CAN DO!

WHY NOT ME!!! JUNG SU!!
