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.
A Korean who shared a painful collective memory of early 20th century. I think Viktor Tsoi represents the Korean mentality of han (a Korean concept somewhat similar to mono no aware in Japan) from his band's songs.
