12:53 - Barracks starts talking with the hostess. Instead of being asked questions, he will now ask her!
He shows her a set of pictures of 3 young {i guess handsome for koreans} guys (including himself) and then asks her to rank all 3 men in the order of beauty!
She looks to be astray and shy - can not do it directly, so she does it only if he is not looking! She ranks Barracks the least handsome man! LMAO... Then Barracks shows her another picture of 4 men: himself, Calm, Larva (picture of Larva winning ASL) and YSC (picture of YSC sitting in a chair, looking glum with a sullen face) and asks her to rank all 4 men starting from the least handsome one (this question was cut in the new re-upload). What she tells that is not in the video is: ''i know what are you trying to do with this and i am not falling for it".

I mean...

I have never seen YSC being so indirectly disrespected for his looks by a fellow pro gamer! Barracks WAS SAVAGE! We all know what he meant with that second set of pictures!

Wow, great. So savage to make fun of someone's looks in that way. If savage was a synonym for infantile that is.

I would normally be inclined to root for Barracks as an underdog, but this makes that hard. We all want pro gamers to have personality, but if you're going to talk shit, do it about someone's play, not their looks.

You have to take into account that Korean (or Asian culture in general) doesn't take stuff like body shaming as serious as Western's though. For example it's not always considered rude to call someone fat. To make comments on someone's appearance, especially for a male, is very common. Among a group of close friends it's normal to call someone fat or even ugly, and the person being called so doesn't usually take offense. It's considered good banter among friends. Some even embrace that, like Shuttle. He's been called all sorts of names but always laughed it off.

What Barracks did there was probably just banter among them (the K League group) and YSC will probably get back at him in some way at another occasion. They're all good friends with each other.

I get what you're saying, but there is a difference between private banter and public banter that includes dragging in third parties to shit talk your "friends". Also, the more public it is, the less able someone is to protest against the banter lest THEY become the bad guy rather than the one doing the bullying.
