World Taekwondo reduces its Council: the change that Dr. Choue himself promoted

In Wuxi, China, Chungwon Choue’s re-election as president of World Taekwondo (WT) made headlines, with 143 out of 149 votes confirming him for a final term until 2029. But the real twist in the narrative occurred in the shadows of that victory: the implementation of a reform that reduces the WT Council from 37 to 25 members, an adjustment designed to dilute the concentration of power and foster more balanced governance in Olympic Taekwondo.
