These sporting events help the countries to attract visitors from other countries. South korea saw a surge in travellers this July
@coffeelovers this was one of the historically important match Cha Hyo Sim of North Korea and Jang Woo-jin of South Korea win the mix doubles title
Yes this became one of the most celebrated events of all times after FIFA world cup football and Wimbledon
I always wondered if the joint korean team can really participate but they not only played but emerged strong
