i dont know...but one of my good friends from the army was born and raised in s. korea...learned english in basic training in the army...and at our unit we were having a discussion about martial arts greats..this was back in 98 before jet li was big over here...and he asked who would win in a fight bruce lee or jet li and he said that any american would say bruce lee but that if you went to korea the answer would be jet li and the jet li was from korea...
