Korea played Switzerland on Saturday morning for a 2 - 0 loss~! shibalseki….

I went to City Hall in central Seoul to watch the game between the game, it looked a little like this.

Pretty crowded right?

Here is an upclose shot with Chung Mi and Soong Mi..some friends I went with.

Stilt walkers supporting Korea~ There were many people waving Korean flags, singing songs, face painting…it was crazy~

The game started at 4am and it was sunrise at 4.40am…the brighter Seoul City Hall became, the darker the Korean supporters became as it the chances of scoring enough goals to get through to the next round became slimmer and slimmer. Here is a run down of their campaign…

The Korean FIFA Campaign 2006

Korea vs Togo

The first game was against Togo, which Lee Chul (below) scored the first goal for Korea to equalize 1-1. ^^

Korea moves onto win 2-1 after a rocket of a goal by Ahn Jung Hwan in the second half.

And the Korean Football Goddess smiled upon the team and blessed them~

Korea vs France

This was an exciting game, Korea, who got into the top 4 in 2002 were against France who, although the champions in 1998, left round one in 2002 without a goal. France scored first early in the match. And Korea replied with less than 10minutes to go in the game…

Park Ji Sung picked up a loose ball inside the goal area and put it up over Barthez the goalie.

 

A moment of uncertainty while French defender Gallas tries to tap it out…

 

But the very awkard lob shot is good and Ahn Jung Hwan and Park Ji Sung celebrate~

The final score is a 1-1 draw, a mighty good result for little Korea against the super soccer powerhouse of France.

Advocaat, the coach for Korea was well happy. And the Korean Football Goddess smiled upon them again.

Advocaat: I’m cool~!                       Korean Football Goddess: Korea Fighting..><

Korea vs Switzerland

In the 23min Hakan Yakin delivered an inch-perfect cross from the resulting free kick. Arsenal’s towering centre-back Senderos made no mistake. It went straighht by Lee WOon Jae the keeper. Amid the celebrations, the gritty young scorer hardly seemed to notice the streams of blood pouring down his face after colliding in mid-air with Choi Jin-Cheul. (1-0)

  <The ass who scored>

Frei finishes the job

64’: Frei, number 9, striker for the Swiss got on the end of a lightning-quick counter-attack and slammed a screamer off the upright.

KSDP wants to congratulate MC Go from NY Crew on his wedding last Saturday 17th of June ^^

He is a long time member of NY Crew alongside Jay 1 and Ra and actually, his wedding is why Project 3 was moved from June to July…

The wedding had a very special guest filming, BBoy Ducky from Drifters Crew, Korea~ check his website and clips at www.duckydance.com He was actually performing with his BeBop Crew ‘Bopster Scat.’ Check out Bopster Scat style here .

Bboy Ducky: "Usually people are filming me.."

The wedding had a lot of people come and also, many, many, many dancers from Seoul~ It was like a big party.

It was at a big wedding hall reception place and as you can see from the photo, casual dress was ok~

I think on the invite MC Go said that hats and sneakers were ok. I guess not everyone had a suit. The boogaloo dancers and lockers did though, haha.

  Like me and Yosup from Song Pa family. Man, i love his shoes! I have to get a pair. He was telling me he wants a derby hat to match it. That would be dope.

Yosup is a locker, we practice together at Ra’s Dance Studio in Song Pa…anyway, back to the wedding… the food~!

You know you’re at a Korean wedding when you see this much Kim Chi… The food at the wedding was really good, and most importanty it was buffet~! That is something dancers rarely have the money for. Thank you MC Go.

They had these kimbup (sushi) chefs there and they had to work so hard because dancers were like taking 10 pieces at a time, cuz the sushi was so mashita! (delicious)

Here is the wedding photo with his family…we took one later of the dancers and the wedding couple, but we had to take two separate shots because there were so many people in the photo. ><

Here is Mr and Mrs Go. with Ra (he went to NUS Hip Hop Nite). Why is he in casual dress I hear you ask?! In Korea, it is customary for the married couple to leave for their honeymoon on the same day as their wedding ceremony, so after the food, they were off to enjoy

their honeymoon on the island of Guam in the Pacific. awww…

About MC Go-

MC Go is on Soul City at KBS TV station in Seoul. It is a TV show for bboys~! It’s dope, they have Hong 10, Ducky, Physix, Born and other famous Korean bboys on there as regular special guests. He is also a member of dance crew "NY Crew" of which Ra and Jay 1 are members of too. 

Here is is at Club Tool on New Years Eve with Ra and Haksu also from NY Crew.

MC Go is an MC in the old school party sense, he is the host of events and gets people hyped. Actually, he is part comedian as well and people always have a good event whenever he is there to MC it.

Korea Singapore Dance Project wish you love and happiness Go, Go kapshida~!

Well, it’s going to be Jay 1s first time to Singapore and we’re all pretty excited about it here at the Korea Singapore Dance Project. We had two project teams and soloists come to Singapore this year, Ra from NY Crew entered NUS Hip Hop Nite in February and Knu Funk Crew entered Floor Skillz in March.

Project 1: Ra at NUS Hip Hop Nite:

   "Ra" from NY Crew, Seoul went to Singapore to compete at NUS Hip Hop Nite in February, it was dope~ Here is a pic of Ra about to attack some Mango Juice at National University of Singapore. By the way, we are still looking for pics of Ra at NUS, so if anybody out there has some, or has some footage, let us know.
