Ah Flash, I love you! That was awesome, it's very fortunate for the 4 of them that nothing bad happened to them.
I have an announcement to make, "Moo!" That is all.

I'm confused. The gorilla and the dragon should be the same person in this but he can't be both...

So confusing!

At my place people call mutalisks "dragons". Jaedong therefore has the nickname "dragon king".

Flash and Jaedong have strong backs from carrying their teams in proleague, I'm not surprised they were able to carry those two to safety.

Seriously though, that would have been super sad if this news was instead 'Flash, Jaedong, Kal and an American WCG ref drown', which it very well could have been. Damn, can you even imagine?

Damn it .....now I cant hate Flash anymore. Good thing they are all fine.

Anything can happen when you swim... When I was young I had a cramp in the pool and was so lucky because i could barely touch the bottom and my friends pull me to the side. I know how to swim but i was in panic mode back then and i wasnt even in the deep.

Jaedong wouldn't have drowned, he was chilling in the hot tub. The other 3 were swimming.

They don't learn to swim in South-Korean schools?


I live in Australia, and by memory none of the schools I have been to ever taught us to swim? My parents put me into swimming lessons as a baby so I am pro swim . I always thought it was odd how people couldn't swim, since its so easy but I guess you can't do things you don't know how to do.

I guess schools teach people to swim in Sweden?

On a second note, this wasn't even a beach? It was a pool wasn't it? drowning in a pool at age 19+, I don't know what to say really, but I guess if your scared, you don't react like you normally would and you just freeze.


That's weird most suburbs near sydney have swimming classes offered to school. Of course its not mandatory and they need parents consent. But I'm pretty sure there are several government programs setup to ensure kids learn to swim.

This story is almost too good to be true!

All the photoshops are hilarious lol keep em coming.

Kal being very tall is another reason for him to completely freak out for not being able to touch the bottom (as he's probably used to, easily).

Jaedong suggesting to go at an hour when no one's there, and Flash on top of that going into unknown pool, could have become responsible for safety neglect. So good they also saved the day. And it's pretty understandable why they enjoy any opportunity for unobserved fun, of course.

I think people are misinterpreting the story when they say the ref tried to jump in and save Kal even though he couldn't swim. It can be very difficult and dangerous to save someone who's actually drowning. They have a powerful instinctive reaction to use anything possible within reach to get themselves above water. If you go near them, they'll push you under to get themselves up. It's not something a drowning person can control--they'll do it every time.

If he jumped in to try to save them despite not knowing how to swim, he might have. There was a pretty sad story a while back about how one kid was drowning, and all their friends jumped in to try to save the first person, and ended up drowning eachother from grabbing and pushing down on eachother. They all died.

So it's a very good thing Flash and Jaedong were good swimmers.

I am sort of concerned about all the jokes; I guess it might be funny in the distant future but just glad everyone's OK; after reading the updates on what happened it bothers me that people don't take it more seriously. I think maybe you have to have that panic/drowning experience before you appreciate how truly terrifying it is.
