Chapter 30

* * *

All the Korean Judo players passed the qualifying round for all weight classes.

Something unexpected happened at the Asian Games.

But that.

“Korea, fighting!”

“Eusha! Eusha!”

“Oohhhh! Run! More row!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A river as murky as a mixture of ash and ocher.

The long boats move on.

To be ahead or behind.

A fierce battle will take place on the Chao Phraya River.

Boom boom!

“Korea!”

Boom boom!

“Korea!”

I don’t know the rules.

But I am Korean. He is a representative of Korea.

Koreans who visited the rowing stadium and the cheering squad from Korea cheered for the Taegeuk Warriors, who were sweating and rowing with one mind.

In the morning, people watching the game on TV are cheering with fists clenched.

The Taegeuk Warriors also rowed their bodies.

“One two! One two!”

Assistance players who row more tenaciously so that they don’t disappear because it’s an unpopular sport.

The batter, who was facing them and adjusting his direction, also gave his stomach strength and gave him a command.

But maybe it’s because I’m so angry.

Should I drink too much water because I’m nervous before the last game of the preliminary round?

Choked and sour water comes up in my throat.

It’s an accident.

‘Oh, hurry up and press it!’

When the old order is broken, Gyeonggi Province is also broken.

It’s the last qualifying round.’

The assistants were also embarrassed by the disturbed rhythm, and the boat slowed down. The batter, who had been in a hurry, paused at the soft taste of Jeolla-do kimchi in his nose.

It was followed by thick beef bone soup, rice grains, and seasoned red-pepper sauce.

This morning, the Korean food that the judo representatives welcomed and gave out.

Where should I go to a good restaurant? A home-cooked meal that my mom has to make from dawn.

As the ships next to me passed by, I came to my senses.

‘Yes, damn it! I ate Korean food, too! I can’t end it like this!’

“Civaal! Kelloook! Kimchi!”

Flinch!?

The assistants looked at him with a look of wonder if he was crazy.

The batter spat out a sour stomach fluid and cried stomach fluid.

“Kim Kechy!”

……smile.

The grains of rice flying in the air inspire laughter.

“Oh, that nut job!’

“Yes, shit. Kimchi! Koreans love kimchi!”

“Let’s go!”

Their arms, which grabbed the oars, gave them strength again.

The power that came with laughter.

From the depths of the ship, the force of the chill rose from the whole body.

With him, their ship began to gallop along the Chao Phraya River.

Koreans who suddenly woke up, cheering squad, and the people who watched TV shouted in unison.

“Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!”

“Let’s go to the finals!”

A company manager Choi, a company employee Park, and a street street cleaner wearing radio earphones all shouted with their hips up and down.

And…….

Whoosh!

In the end, the Taegeuk mark crossed the finish line first.

“There you go!”

“We’re going to the finals!”

“Korea, fighting!”

Unexpected events were occurring not only in judo but also in unpopular sports.

* * *

Blinking. Blinking.

“Was our country this strong?”

“Really?”

Asian Games, Winter Summer Olympics.

South Korea, a country that has never won first place.

But something was different this year.

Unexpected unpopular events were doing well.

Rowing, tennis, rugby, canoeing, handball, etc.

Unexpected events are happening in each event and in each stadium.

Korea is passing the preliminary round, while the big, powerful countries are falling one by one.

Jong-hyuk was also puzzled by him.

“Is this because of the Korean food we prepared?”

Director Shin Sung-il said, “The corners of Jong-hyuk’s mouth trembled.

“No way.”

But I think it’s possible.

Food is the most sensitive issue for people.

Many people feel bloated because they can’t digest just by looking at bread. This is because it is inherently difficult to digest wheat well.

Many people go to other countries to have a stomachache or replacement.

As such, food has a profound effect on condition.

That’s why Jong-hyuk did not feed Korean food until the opening ceremony was held.

“That is, if you’ve been burning imperfectly because of food from other countries that doesn’t suit your taste…….’

This time, he ate familiar Korean food and burned it completely.

The difference has led to this result.

It’s like Korea, a country where real people are everything.’

Korea, a country full of crazy people if the environment is created properly.

I’m going crazy because I created this environment.

Drumroll! Drum roll!

“Hahaha!”

Where are the beasts running in droves and crying.

“What? What does that mean?”

“God’s Son of God!”

“Director!”

The judo representatives, who turned their heads, turned white as they saw rugby players running toward them.

Cattle.

It seems like a herd of cows that can only be seen in Daegwallyeong is running.

This side is not inferior to the size of the man, but everyone was stunned by the appearance of the grown men running with tears and runny noses.

But the rugby players who ran like that stood in front of them and bowed deeply.

“Thanks to you, we made it to the finals for the first time! Defeat that Japan! I should have seen those eyes that were round like cows! It’s all thanks to the real Shin!”

“Crying!”

“Thank you, Director Shin!”

Japan with well-developed sports infrastructure.

Japan is also an unpopular sport for both American football and rugby, but it is still better at revitalizing the league than Korea.

The difference between tactics and player level from there can never be ignored.

No, that’s the wall.

You beat Japan?’

Japan should not lose to just pee.

Although it was a different event, I had to be happy as a Korean and a Korean representative.

“Ha ha. That’s not because of me. All of Park’s outstanding tactics and players’ skills…….”

” No one I can’t eat a piece of kimchi! Our babies have been directors Don’t you know, too! god was bilbilgeoryeo They used to eat half a carton of kimchi for a meal! They only ate kimchi because they didn’t have a budget!”

“That’s right! The smell of kimchi stew was on my tongue during the last attack. It’s so powerful!”

Director Shin Sung-il saw Jong-hyuk.

You really ate well, so you made it to the finals?’

Jong-hyuk scratched his head.

The power of homemade rice and kimchi were stronger than I thought.

“…hahaha, don’t say that. It’s the result of the players’ hard work.”

“A new sensitivity.”

“Sit down. You’re here, so eat. Have some red ginseng.”

“Oh, then let’s eat and get a medal!” That’s why I like it.

Jong-hyuk stepped out with a big smile.

“Come on, sit down, guys. You must be thirsty to come, so eat red ginseng first.”

“Thank you, Jong-hyuk. I will never forget the kindness I received from my judo team.”

“Hhh. All you have to do is win a medal. We need to return home of gold.”

Rugby representatives teared up at the playful words.

“Yeah, we’re both Koreans, but soccer and baseball…….”

“I don’t know. Never mind. That’s why you’re using your heart.”

Strangely, baseball and soccer are using porridge.

Two of the most league-enabled sports in Korea.

I even gave you the data.

Since then, as representative athletes such as rowing and handball joined with gifts of confirmation to advance to the finals, the dining space set up by judo representatives began to be noisy.

They all praised director Shin Sung-il, and with his shoulders stretched to the point of worrying that he might break, he saw Jong-hyuk with all the affection in the world.

The players, who knew the situation, also straightened their chest and raised their thumbs to Jong-hyuk.

‘Hmmm.’

Jong-hyuk turned his head slightly.

As we talked like that, we ate at least four servings per person, so the huge amount of food we prepared gradually turned to the bottom.

Rumbling.

Jo-hyuk, who was laughing between them, wondered if he’d found something.

“Hm?”

Players who turned their heads after Jong-hyuk’s eyes were also wondering.

“Huh? What about them?”

Foreign players. They’re glancing this way in groups. Even though there was a restaurant building nearby, they were only looking this way.

“Aren’t they Uzbek kids?”

“Next to that…… Is it Thailand? There’s the Philippines, too.”

It can be recognized by the flag stuck in the chest.

“Wow, it’s pretty. She’s prettier than Kim Hyesun. What the hell did they eat to be so bloody pretty?”

The timid players who have only been exercising, handsome and beautiful, look at this side and can’t get their heads together.

“Huh? Oh, he’s coming.”

A few people are approaching.

I don’t know why, but my eyes are filled with desperation.

Feeling something unusual, Jong-hyuk moved.

“What’s going on?”

People were surprised by the Thai language flowing out of his mouth.

The Thai coach instantly brightened his face and soon smacked his lips.

Should I say it or not?

Looking back, the coach looked at the players who supported him and his babies and eventually closed his eyes tightly.

“I’m sorry to say this, but could you give us Korean food, too?”

“…Yes?”

Jong-hyuk rapped his ears.

But it seemed to be sincere.

“Why?”

The Thai director saw Jong-hyuk.

“The youngest player and head coach. Master Shin Sung-il’s right-hand man, a century genius he cares terribly about. Lee’s remarks are the strongest.’

A player whose time does not exceed 30 seconds.

He shows the most overwhelming performance in all sports and is considered better than Shin Kwon-ho, the legend of Korean wrestling, or Park Chan-oh of baseball, due to his young age.

This is after an investigation.

“Who. I am the head coach of the host country. You have to do anything to win a medal. So…….”

“Did you really think that Korean propaganda is because of Korean food?”

‘They think so, too?’ Jong-hyuk blanked out as if he had been hit in the back of his head.

“Red ginseng is not famous.”

The problem is that even Thai players are already eating a lot of red ginseng.

But the grades are too different.

As a Thai coach, this is definitely training, but I can’t help but think it’s because there’s a difference in the food I usually eat.

“No, of course I’m not asking for it. We’re going to eat like this!

After the Thai coach, Jong-hyuk barely swallowed his laughter when he saw a plastic bag in the hands of players and coaches from other countries.

“Cute.”

While thinking about what to do, Jong-hyuk called director Shin Sung-il, who looked at this side in a strange way.

“Asian Games, like a match for a horse.”



As of today, the preliminaries for almost all events are over.

It’s real from now on.

From now on, the players, coaches, and commissioners will try their best to drop their opponents and win medals.

‘It’s good to have one of my own in this situation.’

It’s almost a pumpkin rolled over.

“Director, can I have some Korean food with you?””

“What?”

Jong-hyuk smiled significantly at the blank director.

“What do you say?”

“…Well, I guess they’re desperate, too.

The pain of his father and grandfather’s generation passed through his mind, which had become reluctant because he was a rival.

“Thailand’s induction has that monster.”

A monster almost equal to Jong-hyuk. A huge player has been born in the judo country. However, they are not a judo team, but they are ahead of each other.

“Yes, it is a country that sheds young blood for our country that we do not know at all during the Korean War, so is it a big deal to treat them to a meal?” Tell him to come!”

‘As expected,’ Jong-hyuk smiled and held out his hands.

“Welcome.”

* * *

“…….”

Heavy silence weighs on the mouths of Japanese members.

a puff of tobacco The hazy air makes their chests more stuffy.

Then, one of the members broke the silence.

Boom!?

A fist holding a cigarette hit the table.

“How can a country called Korea be like this?”

Korean food was removed from the official food at the Bangkok Asian Games, and the accommodation was placed downstairs or in a place where water was not well supplied.

This was not very difficult because Japan has invested heavily in Thailand so far.

I thought I had shaken my mentality and condition like that, but the result was to advance to the finals in all events.

Japan, which failed to qualify in several events, is going crazy and jumping.

Eternal rival, Korea.

China, the eternal No. 1 player, had to win no matter what, even though it was a place where they pushed with the number of players.

Fewer players with fewer populations, sports infrastructure.

It’s a great shame if you lose.

That’s why I worked quite under the table, but it was in vain.

Already, Olympic committee members in their home countries are having a hard time.

Why do you get these results when you eat the same red ginseng?

Red ginseng is considered a miracle drink for sports players. Supplements that boost energy without any of the Olympic drugs.

Thinking that Korea’s advancement originated from this red ginseng and wild ginseng early on, they secured red ginseng and wild ginseng extract in the Asian Games or Olympic seasons.

“As expected, kimchi!”

“If Koreans can’t eat kimchi, they can’t use their energy, right?”

“……The Korean judo representative gave us the kimchi. I heard it’s delivered by airliner every day.”

“You crazy kimchi!”

Their faces crumpled at the same time.

Come to think of it, only judo representatives have lodged upstairs in Japan.

“The beggars who learned judo in Japan…….”

“Commissioner Kamakura, watch your language! What a time this is!”

The reprimanded member kept his mouth shut, and the members drank more cigarettes in frustration.

“I am, by the way……..”

“What’s wrong, Mr. Hakano?”

“Is kimchi the only thing that really affected Korea’s advance?”

“…what do you mean?”

The glasses-wearing member held out a piece of A4 paper with something written on it.

“Thailand, Uzbekistan, Malay, Hong Kong, Pakistan and the Philippines are making strides in some sports.”

“…Out of the blue. What do you want to say?”

“They all visited judo representatives and got Korean food. Because of that, Korean restaurants in Bangkok are bursting, and people are asking us to select Korean food as the official food for this Asian Games.”

Everyone’s mouth shut again.

“There are other foods that cheer you up besides red ginseng and kimchi?”’

The players in the country couldn’t have eaten the spicy kimchi, so they must have eaten something in common.

Something that can give you energy like red ginseng.

You must have eaten red ginseng! ‘Because I like to give to Korean people!’

People have become serious.

At this rate, those who didn’t expect to lose to Korea will be caught in the ankle.

“……Should I not let them eat Korean food at all?”

“That’ll be a disaster. It’s still close.”

Meals, accommodations, and transportation were all manipulative.

You’re not allowed to bring food from outside?

He’s a thorough prosecutor.

Korea, which has been holding back so far, may explode.

An international disgrace if an article is published.

“Then why don’t we do this? What are we supposed to do with the judo representatives who are responsible for all this anyway?”

The commissioners saw a member, and he smiled significantly and spat out the thoughts that came to mind.

The eyes of the Japanese commissioners became wide open.

* * *

“What kind of bastards are they?!”

Director Shin Sung-il’s shout was Jong-hyuk’s idea.

As soon as it broke through the round of 16, it was tested for doping.

Not only Jong-hyuk but also all representatives of judo.

Because of that, the atmosphere was terrible now.

There was a spark in Jong-hyuk’s eyes.

I didn’t expect this.’

I thought it would come with me, but I didn’t expect it to be a doping test. If you have tried the “s” of steroids, it would not be so unfair.

How did I roll, how did I train, how did I train?’

I don’t know what kind of guys they are, but they’re doing all sorts of shit.

‘I’m like this.….’

“Do you think you’re going to lose?”

Jong-hyuk pushed his collar and walked on his thigh.

An adult with a terrible smell of sweat passed on together.

“该死((( ” “!)”

Whoosh! Beep!

One round.

Taiwan’s unlimited hope failed to exceed Jong-hyuk.

Standing up suddenly, Jong-hyuk tore off his uniform top.

As if it were made by God, a beautiful and threatening inverted triangle body was revealed to the world.

‘Is this a body that can be made into a drug? What the hell did I do to build this body?’

I exercised more by mobilizing all my knowledge and enduring the pain of cutting bones when others rest.

Pure natural.

But it’s doping.

He is said to have taken his least favorite drug.

Drugs, steroids, alcohol.

To be exact, there was no more insult to Jong-hyuk, who hated everything that could make a beggar of mental and physical weakness.

Jong-hyuk shouted out loud with all his anger at those who disparaged the blood and sweat that he and his players had shed.

“Doping, fuck it! You cowards! Bring it on!”

Judo representatives, whose eyes were wide at the loud roar that seemed to collapse the stadium, clenched their teeth.

They sprang up in the stands.

“Yes, damn it! Come on!”

“Come on in, you bastards!”

The beasts began to explode.
