In 70-90 years XX century South Korea had a many World champions - Jung Koo Chang,Myung Woo Yuh,Sung Kil Moon,Chong Pal Park,In Chul Baek,Yul Woo Lee and others.

What happened with Korean boxing now?

It is bizarre. I remember back in the 1980s they were always challenging for world titles (and often winning them), particularly among the lighter weights because Korea offered very good money to visiting fighters. Maybe the big money has dried up.
