Talk:Pak Song

Can someone find the actual information on Song's official date of birth and death please. I personally find this one odd. This is the only wrestler I have come across to that does not have an accurate date of birth and date of death.

Adding to the above comment, there is an episode of Texas Championship Wrestling on the WWE Network, supposedly from October 27, 1980, where Pak Song wrestles in an Eight-Man Tag Match. This is obviously later than the September 1980 claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjack32 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

The information cited in the "Online World of Wrestling" page has the most info on what his possible dates were. The publication indicating his age in 1970 as 28 was "Stars and Stripes". Pak Song's name last appears in newspaper archives on September 29, 1980, when he was defeated by Ted Heath in Dallas TX (presumably the previous night). It completely disappears after that.

Revisions (and music career?)

Based on the existing references in the article, most notably his Dong-a Ilbo obituary, I corrected his birth date and expanded the “Personal life” section with more details about his passing (including exact date of death, cause, location, and surviving family).

However, according to another newspaper source, The Chosun Ilbo, there is mention of a short-lived music career. From the translation I have, it appears he was signed to Columbia Records and released a 12-inch LP titled Dajeong, with lyrics by Kim Seong-ok & compositions by Jang Geun-seop. Songs mentioned in the article include “Eat Your Heart Out and Live Cheerfully,” “Sweet Lady,” “Don’t Be Tempted,” “Life’s Journey,” “Saengteunji,” and an upcoming song called “My Name is Matador.”

I may have mistranslated parts of this, so if anyone who can reliably translate these clippings more accurately and/or has more information or can help find a reliable source to confirm any of it, that would be much appreciated.

So far, I haven’t been able to find further evidence that these songs, the album, or the mentioned individuals actually exist. MayhemStoppingBy (talk) 16:20, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
