Get your facts straight before posting them. Viktor Tsoi isn't the father of Russian music. Russian rock was already showing sings in the 70's while Tsoi started his carrier in 1982. He's considered one of the pioneers of Russian rock who was noticed and got helped to start his musical carrier by Boris Grebenshchikov - one of the founding fathers of Russian rock.
And what kind of credit does Korea deserve it this. Yes Tsoi was half Korean, but that's it, he was born in Leningrad and only knew few Korean words in his lifetime. Korean music or culture didn't influence Tsoi in any way.
