UNESCO likely to list hanji and taekwondo
UNESCO is likely to add the knowledge and skills of traditional Korean paper 'hanji' to its list of intangible cultural heritage, according to reports from Korea Times and Yonhap. Yonhap reports that the decision is expected to be made on Wednesday (France time). In the case of taekwondo, KBS World reports that the Korea Heritage Service head says the martial art is likely to be inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list under North Korea's name alone, as a joint listing with South Korea is considered difficult. Korea Times adds that South Korea missed a joint bid with North Korea for taekwondo, which was proposed in 2023.
