How about this (Taken from Reuters) I know it's not fencing related, but it IS South Korea related:

'Yang Hak-seon took over the sports pages not only for winning South Korea's first gymnastics gold, with a vault that he invented, but also because it emerged that he had used his training money to support his family, so poor that they had for a while lived in a greenhouse on a farm. His reward? 100 million won ($90,000) from his federation, and ramen noodles for life from a sponsor.'

Ramen noodles for life, you say?

Student numbers in fencing will surely skyrocket!
