Your Questions Answered

So the JoKBOL show has been away for a while. My blog has been out of action for nearly 2 months. I have traveled, moved home and changed job. However, the show and blog are making a mid season comeback for 1 week only. It will return full time in August after trips to the Netherlands, England, France, Luxembourg and the Northern Mariana Islands.



Anyway, the one-off return is about explaining some issues that readers have had. So here, the answers to questions about me and the JoKBOL blog that you didn't even need answering.

1. Why don't you give more factual information about teams?
I don't care. That was never the point of the blog or the show or the campaign. Other people will do a better job of that. I have better things to do. Such as drink beer and eat pig.

2. Who films the JoKBOL show?
There are missing members of the team that you haven't seen on camera yet. Andrew Dunham has even adorned himself with a Team Jokbal jersey but the episodes have mostly been filmed by Mark or Marcus.

3. Do you really think that communism is rife in Nexen Heroes?
Yes. If you go, you will see what I mean. I think the stadium manager worships Kim Jong Un. I am glad nobody goes there.

4. Is Hanbat Park really a waste of time? 
If you like walking in urine and sitting on a bench and paying 210% more for food and beverages then it might be ok.

5. Why don't you cut some teams some slack? People seem happy there.
Nobody is happy in the Dome.
Hanhwa has the self proclaimed highest paid player in the KBO. They can cut their fans some slack. Fuck them.

6. Do you accept that you are ripping off the Spanish fans who gave pork to Sergio Ramos?
Totally. We have never hidden from the fact that those Spanish guys inspired us.
We were talking about players liking jokbal before that but yes... we are shamelessly copying.

7. Are you guys really going to sell the jerseys for charity?
Yes. We are not con men. We have already spoken to Han Jae Gwon of Doosan Bears about selling our jerseys at the end of season charity event.

8. Why don't you give directions to stadiums?
Four reasons!
A. Some are right next to subway stations bearing the stadium names. You would have to be pretty stupid to miss Jamsil for instance.
B. We are still working on the best way to some stadiums. Suwon kt Wizz Park and Champions Field in Gwangju seem to have no good way to get to them. We are still experimenting.
C. Some stadia should not be visited. The Dome and Hanbat fall into this category.
D. Use google maps! We did! Stadiums are pretty big. You should be able to spot them easily.

9. How do regular people react to you guys looking like drunken retards?
Well, I am not going to lie, a lot of people are confused. However, we seem to make a lot of people smile. There are some hostile people but they are hostile to their own mother. So many people ask for pictures or try to talk to us. Now that our mission is becoming clear to many, we actually seem to have gained our own supporters who will chant for us in random subway stations. 

10. Do you have plans to expand?
The Team Jokbal tent is a big one. One we would like to expand. We would like at least 1 rep for each team in the league. We will also try to get our own design of jerseys made for next season which we will wear and also auction for charity. If you wish to join, then you just need to have a love for pig feet, a willingness to travel and not be an uptight vegan. Skill in drinking beer and creativity in designing attention grabbing costumes are also an asset. Feel free to ask us about joining or helping us collect goods for the charity auction. 

I hope that clears up some of the most pressing issues for literally a few people. 

I look forward to your reading this and returning for the second season of Kojengi's Sporting Adventures and the JoKBOL show coming in September!
