Fighteeng!

I didn't see anyone take the offer, but they had buddies priming the pump by putting on a show for passerbys.

Gotta hand it to these enterprising college students dooking it out just outside Seohyun station the other night around 10pm.

I thought someone had lost a bet, but apparently they’re just trying to make a few extra bucks.  Instead of the plain old, part time waiter or tutoring jobs, these guys were offering anyone to take free shots at the guy with the red headgear for a mere 10,000 won for 30 minutes.   That’s not bad considering minimum wage is about 4,000 won per hour, or just over $3 USD.

Sorry guys, I couldn't find any hot ring card girls, but just these dudes holding up homely posters promoting their new business.

Well, won’t the guy in the headgear, who has gloves too, hit you back?  Ahh, well… that’s where the real draw comes in.  After getting the scoop from my K-friend who was with me at the time, I learned that the guy in the headgear can’t hit you back.  He will only stay in a defensive posture by blocking punches or dodging out of the way.  Or so they claim.

So if you’re stressed out,  you don’t have to beat your wife or drink yourself silly.  Deal with it constructively by punching some poor college students who have too much time on their hands.

Maybe one of these guys will end up doing better than Hong Man Choi, whose MMA career seems limited to celebrity matches like fighting Shaq.
