- Korea has hosted several major Catholic events in the past, such as Korean Youth Day which gathered thousands of young Catholics from all over the country to celebrate their faith and culture. Seoul also welcomed Pope Francis in 2014, when he attended the Sixth Asian Youth Day in Daejeon and beatified 124 Korean martyrs in Gwanghwamun Square. The main slogan was saying: Asian Youth! Wake up! The Glory of the Martyrs Shines on You!
- World Youth Days were held in Asia only once, in the capital of the Philippines, Manila. However, it was the biggest catholic event in the world! Asia deserves to be the center of the Catholic world again!
