Furthermore, it is necessary to test-operate a promotion system of standing referees. Fourth, welfare of Taekwondo standing referees is poor, so an allowance should be raised to consider social reality and to make referees feel pride as referees, and there should be a mature referees culture that guarantees autonomy of personal time within limits obstructing judgment and gives responsibility.
