In no western country, will this be considered normal for a straight male.

Just my observation...

It's very weird in our western eyes, but in many asian cultures it is quite normal for male (platonic) friends to hold hands and even cuddle.

No,it's not,trust me.It's weird if male friends do that.

Immortal-sentry all in that PartinG was famous for using against Zergs last year. The name originates from this GSL interview:

"I am at a different class when it comes to immortal all ins (laughs). What's different about me than other players is that I put my soul in to my plays. My plays are stronger cause I put my soul in to them."

My brothers girlfriend taught English in Korea, when he went to visit her he said he saw packs of Korean teenage boys, shirtless, in parks constantly holding and touching each other and giggling. It's just a cultural difference we aren't used to in Western Countries.

Maybe because the immortals and the sentries go across the map, they tend to be aligned in a file like the wagons of a train. That's my interpretation though.

Great interview, thanks! I'm always happy when I see that regardless of all this competition and money on the line players are still friends.

Yes, physical affection between close male friends is common. Sitting on each other's lap, putting arms around shoulders, linking arms when walking. Physical violence between friends is ALSO a sign of a close bond. So the older (always and only the older) can give the younger a slap. All these actions are common cultural norms and don't deserve a second mention.

However, I do have a problem with some ppl saying that cuddling or holding hands is acceptable as I think it might lead to a misunderstanding for some westerners. We need to be clear that it’s also an age thing. After a certain age, holding hands with interlinking fingers, like one would do with their bf/gf, is not acceptable. Cuddling as in hugging in the theatre or on a bed, is not acceptable.

Also, it looked obvious to me that Parting and MC weren’t holding hands. Parting was just playing with MC's hands and fingers. If you're a westerner you might find that distracting or disconcerting (it shouldn’t be disturbing). As an Asian I just found it annoying, and apparently, so did MC, because he shook off Parting and gave him an annoyed look after a short time.


May i ask who you are to deside on how people should show effection on one another ?

This is all nitpicking on 2 korean men who have a close connection with another in a culture that is accepting of that matter.
We in the west may find it strange, but for them so are many or our cultural traits.

People in the west in general have no problems when 2 korean men hug or hold hands. Those that do have to look at themselfs, there is no reason for asians to change there way of effection for the simple fact that "perhaps western might not like this" ! It's there culture and perhaps even yours, i mean really what's the big problem ?



Dude, you completely misread his post. He is just talking about HIS culture, not the decision he just made. He lives in SE Asia(as he stated and as it says in his profile) and he explained how things work there. He didn't decide on anything, just provided further explanation.

Stop all that accusation bs, of course people saying other cultures are disturbing are stupid, but we shouldn't need 7 pages to point that out. It completely takes away from the topic which is the content from the video.


It is you unfortunatly that read it wrong, here is a person who has problems with men hugging and holding hands, for a silly excuse that it might be misunderstand for foreigners ? Come on.

It's far from BS it's actualy a topic that deserves to be reply'd to, and is reletive to this very video.

MC put his other hand right in front of Parting's head before he slapped him, thus creating a slapping noise without actually hitting Parting.

No, you're the one misunderstanding. He didn't say he has a problem with Asian guys holding hands or hugging each other, he said he has a problem with people saying that it is part of Asian culture for men to hold hands and hug because they are wrong and could mislead other foreigners into thinking that is normal in platonic Asian relationships.
He also specifically said that men holding each other's hands should not be considered disturbing. Disconcerting, maybe, because that is something we aren't used to seeing in public in the West, but definitely not disturbing.
"How are you?" "I am fine, because it is not normal to scream in pain."

Hahahaha, these comments reek of PC BS. Makes this thread arguably more entertaining than the interview itself.

HolyArrow summed it up splendidly:

U will find the same thing in India. Its a sign of respect / brotherly love. Not all countries are as homophobic as Europe.

I speak as being originally from India. What are you basing your statement on that India is homophobic?
