The opening ceremony of the 2015 Gwangju Universiade kicked off on Friday welcoming spectators from all over the world. This year's universiade is the largest in the 56 year history of the sporting event, surpassing the previous record set in the Russian city of Kazan three years ago. Some 12,500 athletes from 149 countries are set to compete in Gwangju.Organizers say this is more than just an athletic event that will be very beneficial for the city. This is the largest international event Gwangju has ever hosted. Roughly 100 foreign media will broadcast to 500 million people promoting the city and enhancing Korea's international status
For those who don't know, the World Universiade is the university level equivalent of the Olympic Games, and is considered the 2nd largest multi-sporting event in the world. It will be held from 3rd-14th July, and livestream for events are available here. Apparently there will be kpop acts in the closing ceremony as well, but I can't seem to find anything about who they might be...
Edit: Added official Video for Yunho's mini-musical. Thanks
