	Obituary: General Choi Hong-hi \| North and South Korea \| Guardian Unlimited
		General Choi Hong-hi, who has died aged 83 of stomach cancer, was a prime mover in the development of the Korean martial art of taekwondo: he helped to shape it, name it and spread it to 123 nations, often through personal visits.
		Choi took the headquarters of the ITF to Toronto with him, and South Korea responded by forming a new organisation, the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), based in Seoul.
		Shortly before his death in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, Choi was able to announce through the ITF website, "I am the man who has the most followers in the world": be that as it may, the impact of taekwondo, with 50m practitioners after 50 years of existence, is undeniable.
