On Tuesday, Aug. 28, Georgia Southern University welcomed a delegation of Korean students from Keimyung University in Daegu, South Korea, to campus as part of the collaborative exchange program the two schools have enjoyed since 2001. The visit included a variety of performances and demonstrations by musicians, dancers and martial artists, including the Keimyung String Quartet, an ensemble of senior students from Keimyung’s College of Music and Performing Arts, and the Korean Traditional Dance Team, comprised of both students and alumni of the university. In addition, there was a performance by the university’s Taekwondo Demonstration Team, led by Grandmaster Lee Kyu-hyung, who, as head of the national Taekwondo team, directed Taekwondo demonstrations at the opening ceremony of the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.
