Are the Korean boxers mostly from North or South Korea or a mix of both?

They compete as different countries. Korea refers to South Korea and People's Republic of Korea refers to North Korea. Both have good boxers, usually North Korean boxers are more technical, korean agression combined with russian technique. South Korean boxers are mostly brawlers. Ok-Sung Lee the 2005 World Champion is an exception to the rule a good techincal boxer from South Korea.
