		He also liked "Duk Koo Kim", but we weren't really given a budget to record the song -- we just got this casual invitation to record the song and it was not really official.
		Part of "Duk Koo Kim", for example, was written while I was on tour in South Korea -- being out of your element in a way that you're forced to be creative.

		But to be honest, it's not really so much about Duk Koo Kim as it is a reflection on immortality and the love that allows us to face the inevitable, that we come to need every bit as much as the air we breathe.
		He also dreams of being "lost in war", unable to feel his feet or hands, knowing that he was dying, "but an angel came down", he says, "and brought me back to you".
		It just seems to me that the tragedy of Duk Koo Kim is the inspiration for these reflections on death and how the Grim Reaper could care less about his victim's ambitions, aspirations or anything else he might have going for himself in life.

		Kim had given everything he had when, late in the 14th round, exhausted by his efforts and weakened by pre-fight efforts to make the weight limit, he was knocked out by a punch he never saw.
		The courage of Duk-Koo Kim thus not only made him a hero in his own country but the instigator of vital reforms in his sport.

	Spotlight on SUN KIL MOON
		But while the songs often concern themselves with the frightful power of memory and the romantic lure of looking back, they are fueled by the propulsive energy that occurs when a new band finds its spark.
		Whether it’s the gorgeous string trio underpinning “Last Tide,” Kozelek’s stunning jump to the falsetto register for “Duk Koo Kim,” the unexpected driving post-punk rhythms of “Lily and Parrots,” or the compelling personal reminiscences of “Floating,” the material simultaneously expands and refines Kozelek’s trademark sound.
		Collectors may immediately recognize “Duk Koo Kim,” as two solo versions of the song appeared on a limited edition 10-inch record issued by film director Cameron Crowe’s Vinyl Records earlier in 2003.

		I admit I don't follow the sport, but this is the first I'vew heard of any Korean hegemony 20 years ago.
		Duk Koo Kim (why is that backwards?) clarified, but "change[d] the landscape of boxing forever." had a whiff of unencyclopediacness about it.

		Story: Champion is the true story of Korean boxer Kim Duk-koo who rose from poverty in the late ‘70s, and through the Korean boxing ranks, onto his fight against Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini in 1982, which ended in tragedy.
		Those who are already familiar with Kim Duk-koo’s story should instantly add a point to the KFCC score given here, but either way, this is a solid and effective drama which tells a human interest story, a biographical tribute, and raises some interesting questions on the nature of this sometimes controversial sport.

		I thought that it was a great war, with Kim taking an early lead and then Mancini getting stronger (or Kim getting weaker) as the fight moved on.
		Although, by the thirteenth round, it had become abundantly clear that Mancini was dominating (e.g., the knockdown in--if I remember correctly--the eleventh round), I thought that Kim still had a puncher's chance.
		Kim Duk-koo shouldn't have been in that match.

		Mark's words indicate that he felt the same impact as what happened to Duk Koo Kim and those close to him.

		Kim hurt Mancini a few times in the fight, I was inclined to believe that he might have had the edge going into that fateful round.
		He had seen a lot of Kim's prior fights and couldnt get over how his beatings of his opponents were so savage.
