Mr. Lee talk in 2002

It is very sensible and heavily dispute. don't touch that part. Talk:Taekwondo#Mr._Lee.27s_talk_in_2002

Mr.Lee talk officially denied by kukkiwon.
It is a gossip magazine article. it is not a reliable or academic source.
Mr.lee said interview was "distorted".
The article writer, 육성철(Yuk sung chul) 기자 (reporter) dismissed from shindonga magazine.
kukkiwon state that it's not proper to use that report as the reference of the history of Taekwondo
And logically, his interview is not true. Mr. Lee said he was a key role of Taekwondo forms. half truth and half lie. Taekwondo forms made by various taekwondo masters. ITF+WTF forms are almost 45. Karate influenced forms are only 2. It is only 4% of taekwondo forms influenced by karate. other 96% forms are 'created' by koreans. And, they discovered their skills from traditional korean martial arts techniques. He ignored other taekwondo staffs made forms. And modern taekwondo is a 100% distinctive from karate.[11] early taekwondo was influenced by karate. early taekwond adopted karate system. but, "almost entirely based upon karate" is nonsense. because, those taekwondo founders also studied more kungfu, tachi, taekyon, subahk

Keisuke Kuwata

Hi Tonsdon! I was working on the article for Keisuke Kuwata, and I wanted to ask about the Korean-language reference you provided from the OK Times. I am talking about:

문정현, 재일교포 이야기.(독자기고 [Reader's Submission)]

또 한명 언급하고 싶은 존경하는 재일교포가 있는데 바로 쿠와타 케이스케이다. 쿠와타는 일본인들이 지금까지 30년 동안 가장 사랑하는 밴드 Southern All Stars의 리더이자 보컬이다....그의 아버지는 한국예술인협회의 고문이었다고 한다. 쿠와타는 간간이 한국에 대한 사랑을 드러낸 적이 있는데 결혼식을 앞두고 난데없이 결혼은 한국에서 하고 싶다고 하여 주위 사람들을 당황하게 만들기도 하고, 90년대 초에 일본에서 아직 한국이란 나라가 어디에 붙어있는지조차 모르는 시절에 love korea라는 노래를 작곡하여 부르기도 하며, 임진강이나 아리랑 역시 공개 석상에서 여러 번 부른 적이 있다.

(There is one Zainichi that I respect that I would talk about, who is Kuwata Keisuke....It is said that his father was the advisor of the Korean Artist Association. Kuwata revealed his love for Korea time to time, by acts such as saying he wanted his marriage to take place in Korea (frustrating other people), and he has sung 임진강 (Imjin River: North Korean song longing for unification) and (Arirang) in public shows.)

특히 러브 코리아라는 가사가 매우 애절하고 슬픈데 이건 재일교포가 아닌 이상 작사할 수가 없는 가사라고 생각 한다....

("Love Korea"'s Lyrics are especially touching and sad, and the lyrics are such that only a Zainichi could compose it....)

이 런 일들이 일본연예계에서 적지 않게 일어나고 그럴 때마다 일본 사회는 긴장한다. 일본 연예계에서의 재일교포 출신 발언은 불문율이기 때문이다. 그렇기 때문에 재일교포 출신들은 그들의 한국출신을 암시하는 요소들을 몰래 드러내기도 하고 일본 성을 사용할 때도 한국의 성으로 쓰인 한문을 집어넣어서 혼용하기도 한다. 솔직히 쿠와타 정도의 위치에 오르면 재일교포 출신을 밝히고 싶어도 밝히지 못할 것 같다...

(This kind of thing not infrequently happens in the Japanese entertainment industry, which makes the Japanese society become nervous. It is because it is considered taboo to reveal oneself as a Zainichi. Therefore Zainichis secretly reveal signs of their Korean origin, and when using Japanese surnames they mix in Kanjis that are used in Korean surnames. Honestly, when a Zainichi goes to the status of Kuwata they could not reveal their Zainichi origin even if they wanted to.Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).

I just want to know, did you translate it yourself, or did you get the English version from somewhere else? I need to know so we can cite the reference correctly. Thanks!
