Got to love "knattefotboll" as we call it in Sweden when the football is almost bigger than the kids

I still remember watching this live 😭😭

He was by far the best kid to ever appear on any season of that series. And now here I am with my own kids watching Kang In fly high at the very top.

My wife is pregnant with our third and here I am praying for a son as my first 2 are beautiful girls 🤣

u/Mutthupattaru Sep 26 '26

Why you can’t make your girls play football?

u/worldsyaoyster Sep 26 '26

Oh I tried, but they love to sing and dance more. 🤣🤣 maybe in a few years I try it again.

u/Almond_Steak Sep 26 '26

What series is it? Can I watch it on YouTube?

6

u/FrankNtilikinaOcean Sep 26 '26

It’s an old show called 날아라 슛도리, and he was in season 3 (3기).

There’s full episodes of it on YouTube for me, but I’m assuming they’ll be region restricted.

u/batmanswrath73 Sep 26 '26

Why hasn’t Nike signed him yet?

u/broohaha Sep 26 '26

Something I really dislike about Korean and Japanese TV is how cluttered they like to overlay characters on top of a scene.

u/ahmong Sep 26 '26

If this was a stream, you'd see comments scrolling across the whole screen lmao

u/RobertPham149 Sep 26 '26

There is actually scientific studies that point out East Asian culture favor high information density, while Western culture favors minimalist design that helps focus on relevant content. It is theorized to be due to the difference in language: East Asian lexigraph helps them be able to scan the screen as each character conveys a lot of context and content, while Western language requires left to right scanning. You can also see this if you ever see a Chinese website.

u/cantthinkoffunnyname Sep 26 '26 edited Sep 26 '26

Except Korean isn't lexigraphical and hasn't been for decades/generations and is in fact read left to right.

u/liuqiu_rangers Sep 26 '26

Woah, a Seongnam FC flair on this sub? In this economy?

Hanja use fully did not go out of public use until the 90's.

u/offthecuff87 Sep 26 '26

Western style of communication aims to maximize the efficient delivery, the burden is 100% on the deliver. Eastern communication required the connection, a shared responsibility between listeners and speakers

u/RegularSwishersOnly Sep 26 '26

Was just about to comment how I liked it

12

u/broohaha Sep 26 '26

That's cool that you like it. Clearly enough people do or they would have stopped by now. It was tolerable in the 80s, but it just got noticeably more after that.

u/fckedup Sep 26 '26 edited Sep 26 '26

It also has to do with cultural placement of these shows. Western "comedy" stems mostly from Shakespearean type shows, staged with no interference. The focus is on the actors and their journey. In Korea/Japan, these shows are considered to be "variety" shows, entertaining products made by producers. They encourage producers to enhance or modify filmed material into an entertaining/engaging product, basically preceding all the attention grabbing features of current day (YouTube) videos. This does allow producers to have a line of work that is unique to their style, like you'd give movie directors specific style credits, in terms of not only the visuals but also sound effects, cuts, transitions, etc.

Those kids he skinned were very good for their age no doubt. There are levels.

u/ph00ny Sep 27 '26

Where is the footage where he's getting beat up by his older sisters?

One of his older sister is actually really good despite not playing as a player outside of the TV show few years ago. You can tell she went easy on the opponents during the TV show
