Hate to be morbidly comical, but does Kim Dae-jung
pronounce as Kim Die Young?

Sounds like the makings of an Abbott and Costello routine...

Tiger, well he kicked the bucket. About 1 hour and 1/2 ago.

Two down (south of the DMZ), one to go (north) for 2009.

Well, he was 85 years old so to some people he did die young.

Well I'm not certain of the answer to your question, but it seems reasonable.

I DO recall that a few years ago I was looking at children's bicycles in K-Mart and I happened to notice that the brand name on the tires was "Dae Yung".

Needless to say I decided not to buy my grandchildren any bicycles prominently marked "die young".
