Sports bars; Yes, called DugOut!Seoul: Many sports bars, lots of fans, so many teams, championship teams, but some stadium problems due to overbooking and concerts. They also lost the Olympics bid.Suwon: hosts many international events to get things out of Seoul, some championship teams, a couple of sports bars. Daejeon: Many teams like American football as well, some decent football teams, and a TV-Run baseball team, along with a military rugby team. Fans love the baseball team even when they’re trash. The other teams… not so much but Daejeon Hana gets 10k fans a game. The Bluefangs men's volleyball team used to be the best but now they aren’t good.Anyang: Hockey town feel, lots of fans at the hockey games, winning culture, decent soccer attendance, but the basketball team has had some struggles. The city and transportation ministry plan to open a subway station near the sports complex to improve the transportation links.Daegu: Has a bit of everything, more of a baseball town, strong fan support for other teams, even some surprise teams like a baduk league, and they have hosted international events. I went to the athletic games in Daegu and saw blade runner. But fans are fickle here. They have 1 sports pub in the baseball stadium, with uncertain hours. #sports #Koreansports #sportstalk #KBO #baseball #football #volleyball #sportstowns #sportsculture #KPOPStars #newsports

Today on the show we're talking about the things about Korean and N. American culture in regards to sports! We talk about things in Korea that aren't seen in the states (like cheerleaders at billiards) and the opposite (tailgating parties). We explain a few reasons why those cultural differences exist (no sports radio) and plug the inspiration for the episode Ugly Koreans, Ugly Americans by Min Byeong Cheol 민병철. And finally Mr.S gets a bizarre request for Mr. P. from the Korean Supreme Court. Are they fans or something else is going on? Today's poll is about your feelings on bowing.

Today on the show we talk about the scandals, history, and skirts behind the controversies in the Korean sports broadcasting world. If you don't live in Korea, don't worry as we'll go over the networks involved and some of the bizarre history. We also discuss how the baseball talk shows position their female hosts in the perfect angle for leering fans. There's also a mention of the KCTV illegal Premier League streams.

Today on the show we talk about the ways we follow our favorite teams from our home countries, the importance of understanding time zones, and what happens when you fall asleep at your kindy job after watching late-night NFL games. If you are that poor sod, you are a local legend. We also discuss the streaming packages for the various big leagues and whether or not they're worth your Won, and whether or not they come with English or Korean language. Most importantly, we discuss ways to get around problems with the "official" way, if you know what I mean. Music by DumiAFava.

Just in time for Christmas, we've got swag on the mind! What are Korean teams selling, besides uniforms? We'll talk about where to buy it, where NOT to buy it, and what sizes to expect.

Today on the show we talk about our experiences watching sports at bars in Korea, even the rare sports bars. We go over the different types of bars, including the stinky old whisky bars, as well as a list of (running) sports bars that someone compiled. We talk about how you can get the staff to change the channel to your game of choice (though it helps them if you know the channel name), differences between bars and chicken hofs, and two actual sports bars Mr. S recently visited. Jokes about violent Canucks fans included for free! Do these sports bars have food for vegetarians? Yes...kinda...yaaayyyy....

It's the start of season 2 here at Hwa-Ting Sports! We're taking on the difficult topic of how women's sports are covered in Korea, the leagues that fell between the cracks like the WBAK and the lack of advertising for them. We mention the networks that seem to cover them the most like iTOP Sports and Maxsports, as well as discuss the WK-League and the problem with lack of interest. In our research we even uncovered a secret women's ice hockey league that plays in the cold frostbitten season of ... June. Then we talk about a few famous athlete and Worst Persons: The Update Edition! Mr. P has a new microphone and we're working out the bugs so the sound might seem a little off today.
