The answer was that koreans have a lot of respect for their parents, because their parents are mainly the reason they are there by supporting the player and encouraging him to pursue the pro gaming career. | ||

It's not only Koreans, but alot of Asian cultures in general. It's a sign of respect. Your parents gave you their time and cash to raise you. Only makes sense to return the favor. Either way, when they pass, that money is inherited by you again, so you get it back. | ||

You are expected to take care of your parents when they reach old age, if you win prize money, unless you are some gigantic a***** you are expected to share with your family. Not to start a fire here, but I think NOT doing stuff like that is something only U.S./Western Europe does. | ||

I also think that if you're a progamer you're either young or busy and your parents are like your pseudo managers. Your parents aren't gonna go on spending sprees, they'll probably invest it for you or hold onto it for you. God knows you wouldn't do the investing yourself practicing 10 hours a day as a kid. | ||
