K-ball

In 2014, there are around 13,000 Koreans living in Hong Kong. Many of them have come here at the turn of the century. John Jun came in 2003 when SARS hit Hong Kong, but he decided to stay to ride out the storm with Hong Kongers. In 2013, he set up the Korean baseball team K9, to familiarize local people with the game. Baseball is popular in Korea probably because of the team spirit it requires, which is perfectly in line with Koreans’ national character. Korean men often impress people by their conventional mind, but some traditional views may have been gradually changing among the Koreans living here. Take for example Hwang Seon Chel who came to Hong Kong in 1999. He shares his wife’s duty in taking care of their children. What hasn’t changed is his commitment and seriousness at work. Every weekend, John and Hwang practise on the baseball field, just like what they did for thirty years at home. Thirty years later, the baseball dream is continued on foreign soil.
