I want the Korean Telecom Federation to give the community 3 good reasons as to why they went from KTF MagicNS to KT FingerBoom. 3 good, solid, valid, logical, scientific reasons as to why its Finger Boom. Until then, I will now start to "unrespect them." Seriously, its not a joke. Fingerboom will decrease the fan count by thousands. I mean Magicians was so much better, it had a ring to it. Who will buy their jerseys? Do I really want to have FingerBoom on my back while I walk down Seoul? What about their mascot? Is he a magician? or a FingerBoom?

I just died a little inside.

It's a stupid name, but let's not go overboard here. Koreans don't exactly speak much English in general. It sounds really stupid to English speakers due to its connotation, but otherwise it's hardly a big deal.

In the end, Korean fans aren't going to boycott the team because of the name. And foreign KT fans don't bring the company enough money for them to care.

Is about all that comes to mind when I think about their new name. I wonder if they realize just how silly it sounds in English.

Might as well change the name to KT FingerBang...

This just shows how bad KT managers are at English...

Some Korean guy made this.

Notice the subtle difference?

They should have at least gone all out and chosen FINGER BANG!
(edit: I managed to make a spelling mistake in one sentence...)

Does...does this make any more sense in Korean then it does in English?

Darn it, KTF...you've abused Flash enough already; you don't have to humiliate him, too. Bad, Bad, KTF...
