The Importance of Winning in Korea

The following is an email I received from a member of the Moon Kkang Reinforcement Staff:

Hi Everyone! Our Reinforcement Team has a new member again, his name is 'HYUK'.
He was a professional soccer player, so he didn`t study English very much.
However, he is currently studying English and will try his best.
If you have a chance to meet him, please give him a warm welcome.
Soon you will meet him on December 8th.
Anyways, take care of your health.
Enjoy your week Hyun ^^

The Reinforcements Staff's role is to help foreign teachers with housing and daily issues related with living in Daegu. It is obvious by the email that winning in the Daegu soccer tournament is extremely important to our employer. I feel he has hired a professional soccer player, solely, for the purpose of playing soccer. This winning attitude plays a huge part in Korean culture. GO MOON KKANG - FIGHTING!!!
