Why not think about videos of this kind, regarding the explanation of why the nicknames in the LMB, in the Mexican Baseball League, the Mexican Pacific League, the Venezuelan League, the Dominican League, Puerto Rico, etc.? I hope you can take it into account
I think it's hilarious that MBC was so adament about not wanting to copy a Japanese team while Lotte went "Nah" and named themselves after a Japanese team. And then Samsung based their uniforms on a Japanese team.
Lotte happens to be japanese and korean company. Hence why lotte has the busan lotte giants, and chiba lotte marines. The founder of lotte was zainichi, ethnic korean from Japan. He started his company in japan when korea was extremely poor. Later he moved the company to korea. It was first a chewing gum company, today it makes various snacks and has the biggest korean burger fast food chain called lotteria. Lotte the company was named after the name Charlotte from the book pride and prejudice, which the founder liked.
If I remember correctly, the Giants (Yomiuri) where named after the New York Giants (now San Francisco) so Lotte is named after the Giants of the MLB as well. Of course if I'm remembering that right.
@@jasonsstuff17 Yep, the Lotte Giants are named after the Yomiuri Giants who are named after the team that is now the San Francisco Giants So in a roundabout way, you're right
Even as a huge KBO fan, I learned a ton here! Re: SSG Landers, I have heard “Landers” is also named for the many planes that land at nearby Incheon Airport. But yeah, the name is definitely silly. I made a much shorter, less detailed video on the same topic!
Landers make sense. See, Incheon is a port city, and the international gateway to Korea. Incheon is also the site of important landing operations in the Korean War.
Loved the Unicorns segment. Not sure if you've done a video like this already, but highlighting all the defunct teams in each league would be fascinating
Not by a long shot imo. They already don't have a lot of market population to support teams they already have, and birth rate is now cratered... Unless they opt towards a scenario where Pyongyang and Nampo get a team lol.
@@khaikhuc1432 1. Korea's top soccer league has 12 teams and they get by well enough. 2. Population tends don't last forever. Especially in the era of mass immigration to developed nations. 3. Attendance doesn't really mean as much anymore. It's more about merchandise sales corporate sponsorships and TV ratings for sports leagues now. 4. If attendance is indeed that important, just Build smaller stadiums. 5. If 12 teams can't occur, Move the Heros to Sejong. The fact Sejong doesnt have a team is ludicrous.
In Goseong, Gyeonnam Province, there are fossilized dinosaur footprints. This may be one of the reasons NC chose the Dinos.
Or they like Dino nuggets
Lovely video.
Now that we're branching out more, you should do a video on the CPBL match-fixing scandals.

Need more KBO lore!
LETS FUCKING GO I DONT KNOW SHIT ALL ABOUT THE KBO BUT THIS HAS BEEN LOOOOOOONG AWAITED
The Chungbo Pintos would have a real hard time being taken seriously here in Brazil
Tbf they already had a hard time being taken seriously in Korea
Verdade kkkkkkk
Yeah, now imagine if they played a Peruvian team.

Lotte Giants sounds meh. Lotte Seagulls would've been perfect, named after the folk song "Busan Galmaegi (Busan Seagull".

KBO!!! Excellent video, GB. Glad to see you finally branch out into the other two East Asian baseball leagues.
CPBL next?

and Due to Battle of Incheon, at Korean War. Battle of Incheon is Landing Operation.

Not many Landers fans hated Landers nickname but UFO logo was terrible. Fans would have loved it if they had included ship of plane in the logo
If this gets 200 likes, can there be a CPBL version of Nicknames Explained?
I actually had no idea South Korea was a dictatorship for a while, crazy learning about that from a baseball video
9:45 WHAT IN HELL IS THIS PITCH??? THING MOVED LIKE A CHANGEUP WITH CURVEBALL DROP
It seems like splitter
Very cool
Hopefully KBO expands to 2 new teams in Jeonju and Sejong and brings back the Raiders and Unicorns nicknames. KBO can support a couple of more teams
Not by a long shot imo. They already don't have a lot of market population to support teams they already have, and birth rate is now cratered...
Unless they opt towards a scenario where Pyongyang and Nampo get a team lol.
If the KBO expands it'd rather be in locations where the neutral ground games are held like Ulsan and Pohang

Is there going to be a video on teams in Taiwan?
Can you do CPBL next?

Get out
Hai Tai is pronounced Hé Té with accent on e. So much like “hat” but drop the T.
