Sports Seoul Power! South Korea’s Greatest Moments in American Sports

PHIGHTING!!!!

When Yong Eun Yang stunned the world by beating Tiger Woods for the PGA Championship yesterday, he became the first Korean (and full-blooded Asian) to win a major golf tournament. That thumping sound you hear? It’s 48,000,000 South Koreans beating their collective chests today in pride of their countryman’s achievement. (Take that, Japan!) Koreans been had math and science on lock but nothing makes a nation feel prouder than sticking it to Whitey excellence in sports. And—as with Korean entertainers—there’s no better place to make a name than on the biggest stage of all: the U.S. of fucking A.

To that end, and in honor of Yang, we’re celebrating the greatest Korean athletes in U.S. sports. Grab a plate of ddukboki, light up a cigarette, and enjoy! Pilsung Korea!
