Went to a Korean baseball game in Seoul about 10 years ago. One of the best sporting experiences ever. Rivals a college football game in America. Just non stop cheering for 9 innings. Best way to watch baseball.
Don't forget parking. $30-50. Korea you have subway/bus that drop you off in front. Whoever is traveling to Korea/Japan. Baseball game is something you should try. $20 bucks gets you great seats, cheer leaders that dance to kpop songs, whole bunch of cheering and chanting. The vibe is so different than here in the states. Love Korean baseball games
Parking fees are expensive in most baseball stadiums because they are worried about drunk driving. I want you to use it only for people who really need it. Instead, don't forget the historical truth that all subways head to baseball stadiums.
As a person who's gone to games in the US and SK, not even close to the same experience. I love watching my boys play in the MLB, but the stadium experience in Korea is a whole new level of awesome.
@@EnzoTheBakertable seats are quite more expensive than normal seats. its different by stadiums but if normal seats are $15~20, table seats are $30~100, depends on the table size. also the bbq seats (which has a barbeque grill and a huge table with benches) are more more expensive than small tables.😮
LOVE the sporting atmosphere in Korea. Whether you're into sports or not, it's super fun to be there! Loved this episode even more because I was a Doosan Bears fan when I was in Korea 🤣
This is most clownish comment yet. You clearly have no idea about South Korean society, economy, mental health, education, et al. Majority of the South Korean economy is run by a small handful of conglomerates known locally as Chaebols. The head of Samsung recently got convicted of corruption only to then be pardoned by the President; the owners of Chaebols are above the law. South Korea has the highest rate of plastic surgery in the world, and the highest rate of suicides in the world.
@@JosePerez-eh7tf It's the people now inhabiting and controlling America. This is what America would look like without it's precious diversity. High trust, no need for high security, not getting price gouged by you-know-who's.
Another advantage of Korean stadiums is that most of them are connected to public transportation, so you don't have to drive at all to get there. You can drink and enjoy while watching the game, and you can go home comfortably. (Clean wide area buses and subways are all included, and you can go from Osan and Pyeongtaek to Jamsil Stadium. The distance is about 45 miles, and it takes about an hour and a half.)
@@kevinreisfresser7951actually suwon is little away from Osan airbase. It takes 40+ min by subway. I know well cuz I served in OS Airbase and am living in Suwon 😂
but then you will miss the best part of the game, the tailgate parties! I'm an asian who immigrated to the US. I really love the tailgate party! AWESOME FOOD AND PARTY!!! Too bad asia doesn't have this, a huge missing part of the fun!
It's amazing that a country torn by war and conflict in 1950 has come so far in every aspect of life. South Korea in general is the cleanest, safest country I have ever visited. Korean's live by a code of honor and mutual respect for one another that is deeply rooted in society. In Seoul the watch and jewelry stores are all closely located in one area, you can shop several stores and not see one security bar, alarm or guard. It's an amazing country that's worth a visit, but only in spring or early summer. And steamed mandu with kimchi is one of the best meals on the planet.
I think a lot of countries could learn from how Korea does things. Stadium was very clean, no security. Plenty of food options and the atmosphere looked awesome.
@@antihypocrisy8978 lmao they owe nothing. The only thing the US gov.t wanted was-being able to put a military base there so that they can have aerial radar detection near N. Korea, china and Russia.
The problem is that Americans have absolutely no sense of shame or cultural responsibility so there’s no way anything can be this clean… I should know. American 😂
@@KK-fw4zq Especially since the only reason Japan was in such a position in Korea was because of their sadly predictable response to Commodore Perry forcing Japan open to US mercantile interests at gunpoint.
Love my country, but man, must be nice to be able to go to a baseball game without seeing security at the gate, being able to bring food into the stadium, being able to drink as much as you want without seeing a brawl break out, and to be able to buy a beer for a fraction of what I pay at my teams stadium. Everyone looks civil and peaceful while also having a good time 😏
@GloriousSmite I think that's some of the problem, but the biggest issue is loss of values. Americans have absolutely lost all values, love for neighbor, and struggle to make ends meet. Add all that together, and we have the results we see today. We could have what South Korea and Japan have if we were strict on teaching classical values and respect like they do in these countries
Korea was a real eye opener for us. Great place. KLOUD beer, my favourite beer worldwide, and I'm an Aussie. Word to the unwary...DO NOT leave your phone unattended at Incheon Airport, even if you only turn your back for an instant...personal experience.
@@Truckdriver2022 Without doubt. Not that anybody would be wooed into complacency by the video, and the phone in the stadium, but stuff happens never the less if we drop our guard momentarily. ✌
maybe you had a bad experience with the foreigners at ICN. It's rare that a Korean would steal your phone, when they know CCTV are everywhere. Also, recent news about pickpocketing crimes seems to be on the rise. Those pickpocketers were caught and they turned out to be Russians, who were only in Korea to commit such crimes, then leave. Simply, foreigners are committing these kinds of crimes in Korea. That's why I would never leave phone and stay vigilante on subway trains in Korea
00:04:39 In fact, most of the contents of the Sundea you ate are “glass noodles.” Sundae is made in a similar way to sausage. Each region has a different recipe, and the ingredients are also diverse. Traditionally, it was an expensive meal, but since the war, recipes using cheap glass noodles have spread widely, and now, glass noodles sundae is the most common. You can find sundae made the traditional way in Korean restaurants. When you try it, you won't think it's the same dish at all 😂
mad respect for this man and his dedication for cultural awareness. So good at using the Korean language and actually putting in effort to say them correctly.
Usually when you move to a country you learn their langauge and culture, but with the U.S it's the opposite we should learn the immigrants culture instead of them assimilating to our own which is pure idiocy
Greetings from Korea! Though I'm not a baseball fan or living in Busan, but I'm really glad you're satisfied from our food and culture!! 🎉✨🇰🇷 P.S. We call rice cakes as 'Ttoek'(떡), and 'Ttoekbokki' (or 'Topokki' for easy pronounciation) refers *only* to this particular dish in 2:20, which is stir-fried(='bokki') rice cakes(='Ttoek') with spicy sauce. Just wanna let you know that's not an word that refers to the whole rice cakes like in 9:06 or 9:20! Btw, we call that food in 9:06 and 9:20 'So-Ttoek-So-Ttoek'(소떡소떡), as the food itself, which is repetitively skewered & deep-fried sausages and rice cakes, looks like.
@@cihs88You mean food in 7:30? It's 'Inari Sushi' in English(We called it 'Yu-bu(=Fried Tofu) Cho-bab(=Sushi)' btw), the dish with sweet-seasoned deep-fried tofu stuffed with vinegared rice and various ingredients.
@@리바체 Thank you. It looks delicious and it feels like it can easily turned into a gluten free snack. If it wasn't deep fried probably even very health.
I think that they do pretty much everything better there. They accepted American culture and improved it. You can see this in their fried chicken, hot dogs, baseball stadiums, etc. Korea is probably the most fun country to visit for Americans because the country is in some way, a better, more peaceful, more polite, more efficient version of the US.
@@tejave0ojnc Precisely. Huge parts of their modern culture have been influenced by US, and it‘s same for japan. Bcz the two are the biggest allies of US. And those cultures from US have evolved into very advanced and cool culture, harmonizing well with their own local cultures and traditions accumulated for thousands of years, advanced technologies well distributed to the private sector, and diligent ethnicity. Actually idk much about baseball, but the memory of baseball stadium in sk still remains one of my most memorable experiences.
It was so refreshing to see a live stadium game experience that seemed to be so joyful! I live in Seattle. I love Seattle. Beer in Climate Pledge is $25. Bottle of soda at T Mobile field is $9. I want to fly my kids to Korea to enjoy an experience like that.
Oh Seattle! I'm a fan of LOTTE GIANTS. Then, do you remember Dae-Ho Lee who played at the Seattle Mariners in 2016? He is the legendery player of Giants. He has been used NO.10, He's back number is retired number in Giants. All of giants fans are so proud of his all careers in KBO, NPB, and MLB! If you remeber him, how did you remember his play?
Can we talk about how clean and safe that stadium is, in addition to the ridiculous amount of fairly priced, amazing food options? Why do I feel like I'm living in Gotham City when i watch stuff like this?
The US is all about $$$. It’s very rare for sports teams here to treat the fans and stadium staff as anything more than potential dollars. It’s part of our “culture” so to speak.
4:33 In Korea, Sundae (Korean sausage) is divided into two major types. One is starch noodle Sundae, which contains glass noodles, and the other is meat Sundae, which has a taste and texture similar to the meat found in Mandu(dumplings). The starch noodle Sundae is delicious when dipped in Tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) sauce, while the meat Sundae is tasty in its own right. For those who might visit Korea someday, I highly recommend trying not only the starch noodle Sundae at snack bars but also the meat Sundae at specialized Sundae restaurants.
My wife left here iPod in the airport bathroom and her cellphone on the subway and she was able recover both items. That’s not happening here is the US.
Would not make a difference. Korea is so small that produce, meats, and seafood can be shipped from anywhere same day. Pohang is known for crab and seafood as are towns north of Pohang, but you can get the same crabs from the same boat in Busan the same day. Anything you can find in a village like Uljin (soft-shell crab), you can find in Busan or Seoul. Probably from the same boat. Certainly from the same fleet. Local food? There is no local food in Korea. Koreans all eat bibimbap, tteokbokki, jook, gookbap, kalbi, six kinds of pork, hwey, and sushi. To get a 'local' food, you have to go to Ulleungdo, an island in the East Sea. Great place to go. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of seafood. Every dish is available on the mainland, but the seafood is the freshest. If you are ever in Korea, make it a point to go to Ulleungdo. Worth the time and the money.
@@sumonnostelga9369 I am willing to accept that I may be mistaken (like your English grammar), but my wife is Korean -- and a certified chef -- and I have lived in Korea for 16 years. You say I am wrong. Prove it. Name one village that does something no other place in Korea does.
So much respect for you, not many people would take the time to learn the language they are visiting. Also, everyone can see how sincere you are to the people you film. Thanks for the educational POV.
i mean not many would learn the language if it's only like 2 weeks holiday, a few basic words for stuff maybe but aside from that it takes a while, especially when the korean language is also considered one of the hardest language to learn.
Hello, I'm a Lotte Giants fan living in Korea:) I'm glad you enjoyed your food. I think this video shows all the charms of Korean baseball park. There are clean, safe, cheap and many delicious food. I'm planning to eat delicious food while going on a national baseball stadium tour next year. There are many delicious things in other baseball stadiums, so I recommend you to try them all.
This is why I love this channel...exploring place even the nearly unexplorable place just to show us unbelievable foods... I'm your fan from the Philippines
@Yurorb-or5vz I would like to think so, but I still have a long way to go with language skills 😑... have had time to make some fun Korean food video content though! Love eating in this country 🙂
Man! This place use to be my old stomping grounds! I used to ride my bike in the parking lot of this stadium as a kids whenever they didn't have games! Crazy to see a place I grew up around on this channel! Thank you for representing!
As a football fan from Europe watching a guy just go through a gate with no security, go to a 7eleven inside the stadium, grab a can of beer and sit next to a guy who just leaves his phone, at the stadium, to go and have a wee and get back is like watching X Files and I want the aliens to abduct me
As someone from Toronto who lived in Daegu and loves sports, I can vouch for this being the experience. I've been to games in Canada (all the Toronto teams), US (Bills, Lions, Cavs, Pistons, U Michigan basketball, Yankees, and many more), Spain (FC Barcelona), Colombia, and South Korea (Daegu baseball/soccer, Busan basketball/baseball). When it comes to food/drinks, South Korea takes the W. Colombia probably is next since it was so cheap. Barcelona not even selling alcohol in the stadium, woof. If you're ever in South Korea, highly recommend checking out a baseball game. Then go to a screen baseball place for some more fun!
@@lordmarwolaeth4570 I only went to see Daegu FC and the stadium had much less food options than the baseball stadiums. Still cheap and good but honestly better to just bring in your own. Also if you do bring hard liquor it needs to be in a plastic bottle.

But also as a Korean, I think that we should take it more serioulsy into consideration when foreign visitors point out that there are not many of trash bins on streets.
@@anstjsdlr The problem is not that there's not enough trash bins on the streets. The problem is the people throw trash illegally on the street. Japan has no trash cans, but their streets are way cleaner than Seoul's streets. I'm Korean, btw. I want Korea to be better, too.
Much respect to Sonny for the delightful and accurate portrayal of South Korean baseball culture. Speaking of leaving phones in public places, it's safe enough here to leave laptops in cafes unattended.
@@tazdingo5297 It's a strength and a weakness. On one hand it makes things uniform, on the other, it can make people very unaccepting of outsiders. It's one thing to visit those countries, it's another trying to live there.

im loving these korea series. Ive been thinking about getting my passport soon so I can travel sometime in the next 5 years and this series really makes me want to go to Korea first instead of Japan.
I lived there for 2 years, although on an army base. But I actually enjoyed visiting the towns, eating the foods, the older generation was very nice to us Americans.
When I visited Korea and stayed in Pusan, we took the Beetle Jet ferry to Fukuoka. Stayed there 3 days and it was a blast. Caught the Fukuoka Hawks game there. Both countries are amazing in their own unique way, but one thing is certain, the people are both very polite in both countries, food is incredible and it is just super clean all around.
"It's amazing being delusional. I recommend it to everybody." Best line of 2023 - needs its own award in the Besties. Thanks dude for making me laugh out loud.
To be honest, it's the same in Europe (or specifically The Netherlands. There used to be so much trust in each other, but over the years it gradually disappeared. I honestly think it's due to migration, I have to speak English in more than 50% of the cases at my job, and it's simply due to migrants who can't bother to learn our language
if you look at all history europeans were not only the last to everything including hygiene and respect, but they really ramped up the hate when they landed in the Americas. hate only creates hate.
I mean we just started treating blacks as human 20 years ago or so. I think its because of the crazy religious roots of this country. Until this point, it's been nothing but native genocide and slavery.
This whole video just shows you how out of touch us Americans are, no need for security no worry that someone will steal your things. A culture that knows how to act right. Shout out Korea
Going to any arena/stadium event in the US is usually a bad experience. Traffic, long lines, over the top security, overpriced tickets, parking and concessions. I mostly stay away from sporting events these days, only the occasional concert.
Thank you, man. Great video covering one of the more fun aspects of Korean culture people don't know about really. And your Korean is on-point, pronunciation and usage, nice brother.
Honestly, I think it's just awesome how open you are to eating so many different foods. As a Korean-American I'm still a little bit wary (not scared, just don't like it) of eating octopus and blood sausage. You're open-mindedness is incredible.
As a Korean who lived half my life in the US, you have to try to Blood sausages, they don't really taste like what the name implies, more like meaty noodles and you have to try it with tteokbokki + fried stuff (dumplings, veggies, shrimp etc) ...lol but yeah I tried the octopus...not my taste....
I mean you don't have to love everything from your country. I am Turkish born and raised but there are still some local foods which is not my type and they don't look so good for me.
This was really cool to see. I wish American venues (all sports) were more like this! I added this video to my bucket list, incase i get rich some day I will go try all the stadium food in Korea lol!
different from baseball in US, korean baseball teams are run by corporations like samsung, lg. they usually run the team for marketing or because the owner is a big fan of baseball. so they don't have to sell it expensive
I think the level of fanaticism for baseball in Korea is on a whole different level, because of that the team/stadium can relay on ticket sales and merch instead of price gouging the fans for shitty subpar food at the concession stands. Would love to go to a Korean baseball game one day!
That food was what, 22 dollars? Outside of the stadium that would have been 8 dollars... Instead of knowing what you are talking about you opened your mouth and said some really dumb things. Also most of the food at the stadiums in korea are worse than the stuff you get outside. Again you didn't know what you were talking about but felt that you were able to watch a video with zero context and the childlike innocence that allowed you to believe everything the video (that is basically an advertisement that is made to keep you interested by showing you an idealized version of reality) said.
One thing that might be different from US is that most Korean baseball teams are funded in big companies like LG, Samsung, etc. Maybe thats why prices are relatively cheap.
Good work and filmed with love and respect for the culture; Just a note, as someone who lives in Korea, it's only known here for 1. Chimek (chicken and beer) and 2. Cheerleaders
I tried to bring a small sling bag to the last game I went to, and had to take it back to the car because the rules had just changed, and it was slightly bigger than their arbitrary piece of paper. Mind you, there was nothing harmful in there and they could have searched it, but they opted for either clear totes or teensy tiny unrealistic bags. The lack of common sense at US stadiums these days is truly baffling. Korea knows how things should be done.
The US unfortunately has way more crazies than Korea does. Commenter above pointed out how the US is a hodgepodge of cultures compared to countries like Korea and Japan. Within some of those cultures is a higher proclivity to commit crime. I won't get into the socioeconomic implications, its just the reality. The US is filled with Karens ready to sue anyone, so stadiums have to take the utmost precautions.
I'm giving my age away here, but when Veteran's Stadium opened in 1971 in Philadelphia, we used to bring in a cooler full of Hoagies, bags of chips, and sodas. No cans or bottles allowed - beer(Schmidt's) had to be a stadium purchase!
the first thing i noticed was how clean everything is... just wow, such a huge difference compared to the US, love the US but we have issues we need to address....

Yup that's why there are self serve stores in Korea with no employees that are open 24/7. It is based on an honor system which is something Koreans are taught and value. In America a store like that wouldn't last 10 minutes. In America you have groups of 30 "smash and gabbers" that steal things even with employees inside stores. Americans can't even figure out what a woman is and more worried about pronouns than respect and manners.
Regarding the safety, lack of security and cleanliness of the stadium, I sat down to ponder it over and please shoot me down if I'm completely wrong on this, but: The US, Western Europe, Korea and Japan. They're all "westernized" countries with heavy capitalistic societies (Japan and Korea arguably even more than the US). However, there's a vast difference in how capitalism should be implemented on a social level. To Americans, and a certain degree to Europeans, capitalism works by the grace of unlimited personal freedom. Everybody should be able to do whatever he/she wants. The downside of that is, obviously, if you give EVERYBODY freedom, people start crossing eachother's lawns, infringing other people's freedoms and before you know it you need a shit ton of security, laws, rules and what not in there to safeguard that "unlimited freedom". See the paradox? Korea and Japan (and some European countries) have defined their capitalistic social system to one of "communal responsibility". The only way everyone can enjoy freedom is ONLY when everyone always upholds the needs of the group/society first, placing themselves second. Only then you can live in a society where there's no need for excessive law-making, rules, security and whatnot. The guy leaving his phone, no security at the turnstiles, being allowed to bring your own food: all of these things are super logical and obviously is what everybody wants. Unfortunately, in some countries we find personal freedom so important that we have to make rules that have made many leisurely activities extremely restricting. In Korea, you just don't steal a phone, don't openly carry a gun into the stadium and you're still supporting the food stalls inside the stadium even though you brought a couple of cans of beer because you're helping out. You put society first. If you do that, everyone's gonna have a good time. Not just only you. Even though many people see putting themselves first as "winning" in certain societies.
Add to that Koreans don't carry guns into the stadium. In fact, They don't carry guns anywhere cause they don't own gun. And we are talking about the country that is still (technically) in the war and most of Korean male knows how to shoot a gun (mandantory army service) I know its different country and different situation and all but its worth of ponder why Korea is so safe with out hardly any gun shot deaths
Well said, and I might also add, people should keep in mind that unbridled freedom isn't exactly "freeing". Certain high-risk freedoms that could harm other individuals in society (like you point out) require a sensible level of maintenance for society to function safely.
When I went to baseball games as a kid in the USA, you weren’t allowed to bring in your own water, so you had to buy that overpriced water and drinks inside, which was necessary if you didn’t want to have a heatstroke. All the food in the Korean stadium looked so good, and much cheaper! Plus, if you don’t want to buy anything, you can just bring your own!
Ah, living in a society that isn't a mixing pot of cultures. I gotta say, those food and drink options and prices are really amazing. Wish we had that in the states.
A Korean pitcher is making $5M / year after returning from the US and that's the highest salary in the KBO. A mid-level relief pitcher in the MLB makes $5M / year. And, that's why beer and food costs so much in the US.
I've always really wanted to go to South Korea as my mother as a baby immigrated from there to the United states after her mother escaped North Korea. I just really love the culture of South Korea, and I hope in the future I can experience it for myself.
Hi sonny! Just letting you know that for the sausage/rice cake skewer at the end, i think you mixed up one of the words. Koreans usually call the rice cake on its own just "dduk" while the rice cake in the red/orange sauce is specifically called "ddukbokki". That skewer is sometimes called "sodduk sodduk" which means sosage/sausage + dduk alternating love your vids!! please take me to korea next time (or any other food adventure) ^_^

Another advantage of Korean stadiums is that most of them are connected to public transportation, so you don't have to drive at all to get there. You can drink and enjoy while watching the game, and you can go home comfortably. (Clean wide area buses and subways are all included, and you can go from Osan and Pyeongtaek to Jamsil Stadium. The distance is about 45 miles, and it takes about an hour and a half.)
Suwon could also be a decent choice for the USFK folks in Osan or Pyeongtaek
price is just 3$.

but then you will miss the best part of the game, the tailgate parties! I'm an asian who immigrated to the US. I really love the tailgate party! AWESOME FOOD AND PARTY!!! Too bad asia doesn't have this, a huge missing part of the fun!
It's amazing that a country torn by war and conflict in 1950 has come so far in every aspect of life. South Korea in general is the cleanest, safest country I have ever visited. Korean's live by a code of honor and mutual respect for one another that is deeply rooted in society. In Seoul the watch and jewelry stores are all closely located in one area, you can shop several stores and not see one security bar, alarm or guard. It's an amazing country that's worth a visit, but only in spring or early summer. And steamed mandu with kimchi is one of the best meals on the planet.

Koreans owe Americans for ww2. They would be speaking Japanese if not for the US.
@@antihypocrisy8978 lmao they owe nothing. The only thing the US gov.t wanted was-being able to put a military base there so that they can have aerial radar detection near N. Korea, china and Russia.
The problem is that Americans have absolutely no sense of shame or cultural responsibility so there’s no way anything can be this clean…
I should know.

@@antihypocrisy8978then why is american society a shithole?
@@KK-fw4zq Especially since the only reason Japan was in such a position in Korea was because of their sadly predictable response to Commodore Perry forcing Japan open to US mercantile interests at gunpoint.
We also leave my cell phone so that other people think I am leaving the seat for a moment and so that they know that the seat is occupied in Korea.
Love my country, but man, must be nice to be able to go to a baseball game without seeing security at the gate, being able to bring food into the stadium, being able to drink as much as you want without seeing a brawl break out, and to be able to buy a beer for a fraction of what I pay at my teams stadium.
Everyone looks civil and peaceful while also having a good time 😏
ikr dont they have mass shootings everyday too?
It makes me wonder where we went wrong as Americans. Why can’t we enjoy these luxuries the same way that South Koreans can?
@williedaviskcmo3037 guns aren't allowed in stadiums, you know that right? 😂
@GloriousSmite I think that's some of the problem, but the biggest issue is loss of values. Americans have absolutely lost all values, love for neighbor, and struggle to make ends meet. Add all that together, and we have the results we see today.
We could have what South Korea and Japan have if we were strict on teaching classical values and respect like they do in these countries

@@Truckdriver2022 Without doubt. Not that anybody would be wooed into complacency by the video, and the phone in the stadium, but stuff happens never the less if we drop our guard momentarily. ✌
Coincidentally, one of few places in SK where there are more foreigners than Koreans.
@@CoolDily Yep. No argument with that. It was the Winter Olympics and I think the National Holiday time. They came from near and far alright.
maybe you had a bad experience with the foreigners at ICN. It's rare that a Korean would steal your phone, when they know CCTV are everywhere. Also, recent news about pickpocketing crimes seems to be on the rise. Those pickpocketers were caught and they turned out to be Russians, who were only in Korea to commit such crimes, then leave. Simply, foreigners are committing these kinds of crimes in Korea. That's why I would never leave phone and stay vigilante on subway trains in Korea
00:04:39 In fact, most of the contents of the Sundea you ate are “glass noodles.”
Sundae is made in a similar way to sausage. Each region has a different recipe, and the ingredients are also diverse.
Traditionally, it was an expensive meal, but since the war, recipes using cheap glass noodles have spread widely, and now, glass noodles sundae is the most common.
You can find sundae made the traditional way in Korean restaurants. When you try it, you won't think it's the same dish at all 😂

Great episode Sonny. This was very fun to watch. Keep up the great work with the team!! ❤️✌️
Greetings from Korea! Though I'm not a baseball fan or living in Busan, but I'm really glad you're satisfied from our food and culture!! 🎉✨🇰🇷
P.S. We call rice cakes as 'Ttoek'(떡), and 'Ttoekbokki' (or 'Topokki' for easy pronounciation) refers *only* to this particular dish in 2:20, which is stir-fried(='bokki') rice cakes(='Ttoek') with spicy sauce. Just wanna let you know that's not an word that refers to the whole rice cakes like in 9:06 or 9:20!
Btw, we call that food in 9:06 and 9:20 'So-Ttoek-So-Ttoek'(소떡소떡), as the food itself, which is repetitively skewered & deep-fried sausages and rice cakes, looks like.
만약에 typo가 아니시면 로마자 표기법에 따르면 정확히는 '떡' 은 Tteok로 알려주시면 좋습니다.

Hi, do you know what is the food at 7th minute? (One after the chicken)
@@cihs88You mean food in 7:30? It's 'Inari Sushi' in English(We called it 'Yu-bu(=Fried Tofu) Cho-bab(=Sushi)' btw), the dish with sweet-seasoned deep-fried tofu stuffed with vinegared rice and various ingredients.
@@리바체 Thank you. It looks delicious and it feels like it can easily turned into a gluten free snack. If it wasn't deep fried probably even very health.
That is so shocking, the difference between the stadiums. Awesome that Korea has an even cooler experience for fan than we do, very cool!
I think that they do pretty much everything better there. They accepted American culture and improved it. You can see this in their fried chicken, hot dogs, baseball stadiums, etc. Korea is probably the most fun country to visit for Americans because the country is in some way, a better, more peaceful, more polite, more efficient version of the US.
@@tejave0ojnc Precisely.
Huge parts of their modern culture have been influenced by US, and it‘s same for japan. Bcz the two are the biggest allies of US.
And those cultures from US have evolved into very advanced and cool culture, harmonizing well with their own local cultures and traditions accumulated for thousands of years, advanced technologies well distributed to the private sector, and diligent ethnicity.
Actually idk much about baseball, but the memory of baseball stadium in sk still remains one of my most memorable experiences.
It was so refreshing to see a live stadium game experience that seemed to be so joyful! I live in Seattle. I love Seattle. Beer in Climate Pledge is $25. Bottle of soda at T Mobile field is $9. I want to fly my kids to Korea to enjoy an experience like that.
With the prices at American ballparks, flying the family to Korea might be cheaper. 😂
That is insane. You'd think one vendor would offer beer for $10 and get everyone's business.
Bro what $25? 😭 I pay that for a full bottle of whiskey in India
Chicken tenders in the Tacomadome was insanely expensive. I was desperate and hungry
Oh Seattle! I'm a fan of LOTTE GIANTS. Then, do you remember Dae-Ho Lee who played at the Seattle Mariners in 2016? He is the legendery player of Giants. He has been used NO.10, He's back number is retired number in Giants. All of giants fans are so proud of his all careers in KBO, NPB, and MLB! If you remeber him, how did you remember his play?
That looks ridiculously fun. Friendly people, baseball, and cheap good food and beer.
Can we talk about how clean and safe that stadium is, in addition to the ridiculous amount of fairly priced, amazing food options? Why do I feel like I'm living in Gotham City when i watch stuff like this?

Bc America is not Korea. In the States, we cater to criminals and wonder why we can't have nice things.
Your not the only one
The US is all about $$$. It’s very rare for sports teams here to treat the fans and stadium staff as anything more than potential dollars. It’s part of our “culture” so to speak.

In Korea, Sundae (Korean sausage) is divided into two major types. One is starch noodle Sundae, which contains glass noodles, and the other is meat Sundae, which has a taste and texture similar to the meat found in Mandu(dumplings). The starch noodle Sundae is delicious when dipped in Tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) sauce, while the meat Sundae is tasty in its own right. For those who might visit Korea someday, I highly recommend trying not only the starch noodle Sundae at snack bars but also the meat Sundae at specialized Sundae restaurants.

Would not make a difference. Korea is so small that produce, meats, and seafood can be shipped from anywhere same day. Pohang is known for crab and seafood as are towns north of Pohang, but you can get the same crabs from the same boat in Busan the same day. Anything you can find in a village like Uljin (soft-shell crab), you can find in Busan or Seoul. Probably from the same boat. Certainly from the same fleet.
Local food? There is no local food in Korea. Koreans all eat bibimbap, tteokbokki, jook, gookbap, kalbi, six kinds of pork, hwey, and sushi. To get a 'local' food, you have to go to Ulleungdo, an island in the East Sea. Great place to go. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of seafood. Every dish is available on the mainland, but the seafood is the freshest. If you are ever in Korea, make it a point to go to Ulleungdo. Worth the time and the money.

Man! This place use to be my old stomping grounds! I used to ride my bike in the parking lot of this stadium as a kids whenever they didn't have games! Crazy to see a place I grew up around on this channel! Thank you for representing!
As a football fan from Europe watching a guy just go through a gate with no security, go to a 7eleven inside the stadium, grab a can of beer and sit next to a guy who just leaves his phone, at the stadium, to go and have a wee and get back is like watching X Files and I want the aliens to abduct me
My first baseball game was in Korea. The energy is unmatched!
As someone from Toronto who lived in Daegu and loves sports, I can vouch for this being the experience. I've been to games in Canada (all the Toronto teams), US (Bills, Lions, Cavs, Pistons, U Michigan basketball, Yankees, and many more), Spain (FC Barcelona), Colombia, and South Korea (Daegu baseball/soccer, Busan basketball/baseball). When it comes to food/drinks, South Korea takes the W. Colombia probably is next since it was so cheap. Barcelona not even selling alcohol in the stadium, woof.
If you're ever in South Korea, highly recommend checking out a baseball game. Then go to a screen baseball place for some more fun!

This one was awesome Sonny! I really like that the food review was tied to an activity celebrated by the people there
Going to any arena/stadium event in the US is usually a bad experience. Traffic, long lines, over the top security, overpriced tickets, parking and concessions. I mostly stay away from sporting events these days, only the occasional concert.

different from baseball in US, korean baseball teams are run by corporations like samsung, lg. they usually run the team for marketing or because the owner is a big fan of baseball. so they don't have to sell it expensive
You had me at SQUID.
I have done spiral cut deep fried potatoes but now they are all going on a stick, what a great idea!
I think the level of fanaticism for baseball in Korea is on a whole different level, because of that the team/stadium can relay on ticket sales and merch instead of price gouging the fans for shitty subpar food at the concession stands. Would love to go to a Korean baseball game one day!
That food was what, 22 dollars? Outside of the stadium that would have been 8 dollars... Instead of knowing what you are talking about you opened your mouth and said some really dumb things. Also most of the food at the stadiums in korea are worse than the stuff you get outside. Again you didn't know what you were talking about but felt that you were able to watch a video with zero context and the childlike innocence that allowed you to believe everything the video (that is basically an advertisement that is made to keep you interested by showing you an idealized version of reality) said.
One thing that might be different from US is that most Korean baseball teams are funded in big companies like LG, Samsung, etc. Maybe thats why prices are relatively cheap.
Good work and filmed with love and respect for the culture; Just a note, as someone who lives in Korea, it's only known here for 1. Chimek (chicken and beer) and 2. Cheerleaders
Definitely puts American baseball stadiums to shame on food and fan atmosphere, love it
You should see the bat flips after home runs. So entertaining. In America you get beaned for that.
This was a great video. So many options of food to choose from at a baseball stadium! I also was quite impressed with your knowledge of Korean! :D
In my English class, a Canadian teacher also said that Korean stadium culture is amazing in the same point as yours. :)
I tried to bring a small sling bag to the last game I went to, and had to take it back to the car because the rules had just changed, and it was slightly bigger than their arbitrary piece of paper. Mind you, there was nothing harmful in there and they could have searched it, but they opted for either clear totes or teensy tiny unrealistic bags. The lack of common sense at US stadiums these days is truly baffling. Korea knows how things should be done.
The US unfortunately has way more crazies than Korea does. Commenter above pointed out how the US is a hodgepodge of cultures compared to countries like Korea and Japan. Within some of those cultures is a higher proclivity to commit crime. I won't get into the socioeconomic implications, its just the reality. The US is filled with Karens ready to sue anyone, so stadiums have to take the utmost precautions.
I'm giving my age away here, but when Veteran's Stadium opened in 1971 in Philadelphia, we used to bring in a cooler full of Hoagies, bags of chips, and sodas. No cans or bottles allowed - beer(Schmidt's) had to be a stadium purchase!

Yup that's why there are self serve stores in Korea with no employees that are open 24/7. It is based on an honor system which is something Koreans are taught and value. In America a store like that wouldn't last 10 minutes. In America you have groups of 30 "smash and gabbers" that steal things even with employees inside stores. Americans can't even figure out what a woman is and more worried about pronouns than respect and manners.
The ticket price is inexpensive too. Right behind the plate seats with tables- around U$30 in weekdays. The cheapest outfield one is 6 bucks.

Regarding the safety, lack of security and cleanliness of the stadium, I sat down to ponder it over and please shoot me down if I'm completely wrong on this, but:
The US, Western Europe, Korea and Japan. They're all "westernized" countries with heavy capitalistic societies (Japan and Korea arguably even more than the US). However, there's a vast difference in how capitalism should be implemented on a social level. To Americans, and a certain degree to Europeans, capitalism works by the grace of unlimited personal freedom. Everybody should be able to do whatever he/she wants. The downside of that is, obviously, if you give EVERYBODY freedom, people start crossing eachother's lawns, infringing other people's freedoms and before you know it you need a shit ton of security, laws, rules and what not in there to safeguard that "unlimited freedom". See the paradox?
Korea and Japan (and some European countries) have defined their capitalistic social system to one of "communal responsibility". The only way everyone can enjoy freedom is ONLY when everyone always upholds the needs of the group/society first, placing themselves second. Only then you can live in a society where there's no need for excessive law-making, rules, security and whatnot.
The guy leaving his phone, no security at the turnstiles, being allowed to bring your own food: all of these things are super logical and obviously is what everybody wants. Unfortunately, in some countries we find personal freedom so important that we have to make rules that have made many leisurely activities extremely restricting. In Korea, you just don't steal a phone, don't openly carry a gun into the stadium and you're still supporting the food stalls inside the stadium even though you brought a couple of cans of beer because you're helping out. You put society first. If you do that, everyone's gonna have a good time. Not just only you. Even though many people see putting themselves first as "winning" in certain societies.
education is what u called for, Social education or social moral is what NA lacking
Add to that Koreans don't carry guns into the stadium.
In fact, They don't carry guns anywhere cause they don't own gun. And we are talking about the country that is still (technically) in the war and most of Korean male knows how to shoot a gun (mandantory army service)
I know its different country and different situation and all but its worth of ponder why Korea is so safe with out hardly any gun shot deaths
this is very perceptive and wise
Well said, and I might also add, people should keep in mind that unbridled freedom isn't exactly "freeing". Certain high-risk freedoms that could harm other individuals in society (like you point out) require a sensible level of maintenance for society to function safely.
free is important but US got it too soon. still alive too many bad people.
When I went to baseball games as a kid in the USA, you weren’t allowed to bring in your own water, so you had to buy that overpriced water and drinks inside, which was necessary if you didn’t want to have a heatstroke. All the food in the Korean stadium looked so good, and much cheaper! Plus, if you don’t want to buy anything, you can just bring your own!
Ah, living in a society that isn't a mixing pot of cultures. I gotta say, those food and drink options and prices are really amazing. Wish we had that in the states.
big respect for properly trying the food, embracing the culture, having some knowledge about it, and going in depth on it. loved this great work
It's been over 10 years, but I've just realized how much I've missed shrimp burgers. Never thought about them once and then this vid gets recommended.
한국에 와주셔서 좋은시간 보내주셔서 감사합니다 ❤️
갑자기 저도 야구장이 가고 싶어지는 영상이에요 🙈🙈🙈
A Korean pitcher is making $5M / year after returning from the US and that's the highest salary in the KBO. A mid-level relief pitcher in the MLB makes $5M / year.
And, that's why beer and food costs so much in the US.
MLB has been s**** for years, and years, and they have not gained popularity at all
I've always really wanted to go to South Korea as my mother as a baby immigrated from there to the United states after her mother escaped North Korea. I just really love the culture of South Korea, and I hope in the future I can experience it for myself.
You are welcome to come here anytime 😊

Actually rice cake in Korean is just "tteok". "tteok-bokki" is marinated one.
As a Korean I'd like to say I appreciate this man's pronunciation of our language it's very good 👍
Hi sonny! Just letting you know that for the sausage/rice cake skewer at the end, i think you mixed up one of the words. Koreans usually call the rice cake on its own just "dduk" while the rice cake in the red/orange sauce is specifically called "ddukbokki". That skewer is sometimes called "sodduk sodduk" which means sosage/sausage + dduk alternating
love your vids!! please take me to korea next time (or any other food adventure) ^_^
Never heard "ddukbokki" or is it just another word for Tteokbokki?
@@MacCheekz1990Different pronounciation same meaning
@@user41105s I see, because google is giving me no results if I type it like this xD
@@MacCheekz1990 tteokbokki is the right one, it is known in that way
@@Yurorb-or5vz Yeah, I thought the "dduk" is just for people who don't know how to pronounce it.
only sonny would be the person to come to a baseball game and only eat the food and not actually watch the match lol. that is a freaking mood and a half lmao
I feel like the food is more exciting than the actual game most of the time
야구장에서 바베큐등 다양한 음식을
먹을수있고 야구장만의 응원분위기에 반해서 가는 사람들도 많아요.
More of these videos please! Such a cool vibe
Stan KT Wiz , lol. Was stationed in Korea for 2 years. We’d always go to Suwon 🤗
I love the atmosphere, people are so sweet and accepting. We’d see other Koreans with the same jerseys and it’d be a whole moment 😂
…. ANd I love lotteria shrimp burgers! How dare you call them hockey pucks 😂
i never expect i could find a wiz fan here.
born and raised in suwon, i was rly happy when kt chose suwon for team Wiz in 2013
Thanks Sonny for taking us with; so fun to see everyone smiling, happy. Bringing your own snacks, so cool. : ))
As a Korean baseball fan, thank you for honestly introducing the part of our country. It feels like someone is showing "We Live Like This" to others instead of us! (Translated by AI)
I go to Rangers ball park few times a year, and the food prices are completely rip off. I was in SK stadium in Incheon in 2019, it seemed to be just a bit more expensive than outside food, but still reasonable compared to U.S
I recommend going to Korean ballpark even if you are not a big baseball fan.
