“It is my privilege to recommend Master Yeongwan Yun, whose lifelong dedication to Taekwondo and to the development of young people has left a meaningful impact on our global community. As President of the World Youth Taekwondo Association, I have seen firsthand how vital it is for young practitioners to have mentors who not only teach skills, but also nurture their character and instill values of respect and perseverance. Master Yun is precisely such a mentor.

Throughout his career, Master Yun has trained and inspired tens of thousands of students, building not only their physical strength but also their confidence and sense of purpose. His philosophy of character-centered education, rooted in the timeless value of Hyo — filial piety — aligns perfectly with the mission of our association to promote Taekwondo as a way of life that develops both the mind and the body.

By bringing this vision to the United States through Hyo Taekwondo, Master Yun continues to build bridges between cultures and empowers the next generation of young leaders to shine. I wholeheartedly endorse his work and believe his presence in the American Taekwondo community will be a tremendous asset.”
