The Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, starting on February 9, 2018, will be the second Olympic games hosted in Korea. The first Olympics, hosted in the summer of 1988, rocketed South Korea into the lime-light of the world, showcasing that they were truly a first-world nation.

Korea dominated in Archery and Taekwondo, winning 5 medals in each, and 4 gold medals in Archery.

It was definitely the highlighted topic at Chungdahm Learning among my students, during the Summer.
