This time a new office is set up and will function to coordinate with the IOC, the WADA, international sports federations, and overall international sports organizations.

The Seoul office will focus on the development of the technical and finance aspects of the sport and this new vision is to "reorganize the WTF into a dual structure is to bring taekwondo closer to the center of the Olympic Movement and to the international sports community,'' Choue said during the ceremony.
