I'm not part of any tour group...we've been mostly visiting relatives and going to places the relatives I'm staying with have been suggesting. The trip to Jeju was total fail...the humidity was even higher than Seoul (which actually has been improving, somehow) there and the tour guide we booked seemed really shady one time...

Also the island and the pension thing we booked (hotel type of place) was pretty run down and seedy.

Anyway...I want to go see some SC matches and whatnot still...

I'm planning on going to OGN tomorrow at 1pm for the SKT vs Woongjin match...hopefully I'll see you there, NeverGG? Expect a chubby Asian dude with a beard, glasses and band shirt on to greet you. (:

LOL - yes I'll be there. Look for a tall white girl with red hair, a big camera and a T1 armband I'll be the one running round like a mad woman after the matches and probably stalking Bunkie with my camera during them.

Heh it looks like I can identify you quite easily.

Do people with you get to go into the press area as well?

You can go anywhere you want. Just walk into the press area as if you matter and they won't stop you.

Confidence > koreans.

Went to the match today and met and chilled with NeverGG. It was a lot of fun, and she hooked up some photos of me and my brother with Bisu, Fantasy and Canata.

I tried to get one with oov and boxer, but oov fucking dicked me and bailed. Motherfucker.

It was definitely fun hanging out with NeverGG, though...she's chill as fuck.

That's wrong - OGN security can and will stop people. They don't let Korean fans inside so they're not going to let foreigners either. I've seen it happen tonnes of times. Confidence gets you so far, but there is no need for a fan to come into the press area (it's actually crappy seating compared to the fan seats.) It's only really a useful space for camera crew and us photographers.

The Koreans here...I knew before I came here that it would basically be a city of fobs and Korean ahjumahs/ahjushis, but god was I not prepared for that. The older people are whatever, but the young people are so like...superficial/vain.

Obv they don't let Korean fans or random white people in because they don't know how to enter with confidence and authority. Way to refute what I said by agreeing with me! Lol

Yep in Yongsan or in Mullae, when you want to watch a match, I advice to go there 2 or 3 hours before the match and write your name on the paper that fans did (that I usually did). Like that, they will say your name like "a teacher and him students" (Kin Min Jeong SSI? Pak June Ssi?" bla bla,) and they will put you behing people, Then, you will enter 1 hour before the match aand you will have your sit.
Anyway, today my alarm clock didnt ring, can't go and watch SKT.... that sucks.
Have fun there PH!!!!!!!

Damn, I wanted to see Oz vs STX today at OGN but it seems it's too late.

However, at MBC you can get a seat pretty much. I went there an hour before on a Sat (Sun?) night (5:30) and half the seats were empty.

Btw, what's the side stadium at OGN? What's in there?

MBC doesn't fill up because it's a shitty venue in comparison to OGN. OGN is bigger, more open, and caters to spectators. MBC is built for broadcasting.

LOOX is also a depressing place a fair distance from the subway station, while iPark is connected directly to the metro station thing. That's all there is to it...MBC shafted themselves.
