Seems like most of the netizen's don't get why most of us are laughing right now... somebody should tell them the bad news.

My team logo used to be KTF....but then I jumped off the sinking ship while they still had a few lifeboats.

Guys lets count our blessings, it could be worse. Finger Boom sounds bad, but it only barely beat out the second choice:

So basically it literally means "Finger Boom"

Everytime a KT progamer uses their fingers for their mouse/keyboard, it will "Boom Up (IE, upgrade)" the player.

Yeah I know it's gay.


I'm pretty sure they actually mean "boom" in the economic sense.

Hilarious.
Is it just bad literal engrish translation from Korean that makes it so horrible? Or is it just as bad in Korean?

I wonder if they thought that it conjures up images of powerful keyboard control, like Flash at his computer making his fingers "boom".... nah... it still doesn't make sense to me.

Henceforth, I shall refer to them as KTFB. Or maybe KTF Boom.

yes, it's terrible even in Korean people's minds. Which is kind of odd, since Koreans seem to have no problem putting together random English sounding phrases. For instance, no one has a problem with KT branding themselves "Olleh," but Finger Boom is objectively bad.
