World Taekwondo and Hasbro partner to help children ‘Get Active with PJ Masks’

NBC-1TV World News


[By NBC-1TV K, Y Yi] SEOUL, Korea (November 27, 2020) - World Taekwondo and Hasbro today announced a new partnership designed to engage children around the world in taekwondo through an exciting collaborative campaign.

The partnership will bring together Catboy, Gekko and Owlette, the heroes of the eOne children’s television series, PJ Masks, and 12 of World Taekwondo’s top athletes. These World Taekwondo ‘Heroes’ exhibit the same values of empowerment and teamwork as the PJ Masks and together they will help children and families to “GET ACTIVE WITH PJ MASKS!”

Launching on 1 December 2020, the campaign aims to combine the global appeal of the animated series with the fun and accessibility of taekwondo to encourage children to take part in the sport. A unique tutorial series & interactive website have been created to help young fans of World Taekwondo and PJ Masks get active, have fun and master their own taekwondo inspired superpowers. Taekwondo heroes from 12 countries have created 12 Let’s Get Active taekwondo movements so that children can try and recreate them at home. 


At the partnership launch, World Taekwondo President Dr. Chungwon Choue commented, “We are delighted to partner with Hasbro and eOne to bring together our shared values and the skills of our world and Olympic stars. World Taekwondo is committed to connecting with young people around the world and getting them to practice taekwondo and live healthy lifestyles. Partnering with the most loved and internationally recognised children’s shows in the world, is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how fun and rewarding taekwondo can be. I want to thank each of these World Taekwondo Heroes for bringing smiles to the faces of children and families everywhere”. 

“There couldn’t be a better time to get kids active and excited about sport and movement,” said eOne’s Rebecca Harvey, EVP Global Marketing, Family & Brands. “Action, heroism and integrity are central to the PJ Masks brand and these values are perfectly aligned with the World Taekwondo Federation’s mission to teach Taekwondo to kids around the world and channel their youthful energy into skills that will build strength and resilience.” 
During the launch event, Dae-hoon Lee, one of the 12 taekwondo heroes and three-time World Champion, visited the World Taekwondo headquarters. Five children also visited the headquarters and watched the video series before trying the taekwondo moves for themselves.
The animated series is open to all. Anyone wishing to join the fun, simply has to click the link, follow the warm up with an adult’s supervision and enjoy the WT and PJ Masks videos. They can train along safely indoors or outdoors. The sticker book will be launched by WT at 12 chosen Taekwondo gyms in 12 different countries when it is safe to gather. 

The 12 Let’s Get Active Heroes are Bianca Walkden (Great Britain), Dae-hoon Lee (Korea), Hatice Kubra Ilgun (Turkey), Jingyu Wu (China), Joel Gonzalez (Spain), Magda Wiet Henin (France), Maria Espinoza (Mexico), Milena Titoneli (Brazil), Panipak Wongpattanakit (Thailand), Pauline Lopez (Philippines), Tahir Guelec (Germany), and Vito Dell’Aquilla (Italy). 

PJ Masks is broadcast in more than 150 territories around the world and is one of the world’s most popular properties with children aged 3-8 years old. The PJ Masks app has had 61 million downloads, and there have been over 22 million streams of PJ Masks music on Spotify. In the UK, Spain, France and Italy, 4 of the 12 markets targeted in the WT and PJ Masks partnership, PJ Masks was rated within the top three most valuable properties for pre-school children

PJ Masks info –By day, 6 year olds Connor, Amaya and Greg go to school like everyone else. As night falls and they put on their pyjamas and activate their animal amulets, they magically transform into superheroes - Catboy, Owlette and Gekko and become the PJ Masks!  Together they embark on action packed adventures, solving mysteries and mayhem across the city.

Watch out night-time baddies – the PJ Masks are on their way, into the night to save the day! 
Produced by Hasbro’s global entertainment studio eOne and FrogBox, in collaboration with French animation studio TeamTo, along with Disney Junior and France 5, PJ Masks became a global hit with pre-schoolers upon its launch in 2015.
