Great story, btw. Actually, the headline is wrong, though. Kim didn't start the fight, so the fight wasn't over the group's enthusiasm. Rather, the lackluster group initiated the fight over his insult. Anyway, the way it is sounds funnier.

Doesn't matter if it was the other way around. It is pathetic no matter what. You know, Korea is never boring. Root more vigorously indeed. Hee hee..

Ironically, the only time I've had issues with some locals in Uijeongbu is when I'm doing my best to root more vigorously..

I'm not surprised, as much as I may cheer on Korea during this World Cup, based on what I see other teachers teaching my students at school, they're not there for the soccer.. it's all about national pride...

I'm partially Koreans are prepping the youth for some kind of uprising much like the Japanese did against the Chinese starting a century ago... Right-Wing nationalism is only the beginning...
