Vadim's Travel Vlog: Korea Through the Lens of Go

[@szacsesz]

Great video. The behind the scene shots were really interesting, but I guess I'm most envious of how people are casually playing go in a park. I'd love to have something like that here as well.

[@jblesser]

Really enjoyed seeing how GO is so integrated into the culture. Thank you for the video

[@antonmasallimov1771]

Vadim, thank you so much for this vlog. It’s amazing. I was watching and didn’t even notice how time flew by. Such immersion, the atmosphere is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You must have had an incredible time there!

[@GoMagic]

Thank you so much for such a heartfelt comment! 😊

[@sadaharu5870]

Nice to see videos like this, especially behind the scenes of BadukTV. Would've been great to see more interactions with the players haha

[@GoMagic]

Thanks for the kind words! 😊

[@yuppie370]

Looks like an amazing trip. I think more videos like this would be a great addition.

[@letMeSayThatInIrish]

What a fantastic video! The BadukTV room looked strangely small. And I respectfully refuse to believe SJS "walked out like a normal person". He must have flown out on a dragon or something equally epic.

[@GoMagic]

Ok, actually, he summoned a celestial Go board and floated away in style. 😉

[@ctclc4650]

Thanks definitly want to see more.

[@tample16]

Awesome vlog! It's so nice to see go content that's not just games, and game reviews. I know all of us like to do some go tourism when ever we visit a new place :)

[@GoMagic]

Thank you! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed it!

[@Fridgert]

Glad you had an awesome trip! There are so many parks like Democracy park in Busan where you can find people people playing all the time. A very lucky find, and it makes me happy to see someone discover this hidden aspect of Korean culture. It's the old men who play in the parks who inspired me to find this channel and learn how to play

[@GoMagic]

Thank you! 😊 Democracy Park in Busan really was such a special find.

[@adamstozek9510]

Thats amazing, I have been looking for such content since forever! Great to see how Go i played in Korea

[@GoMagic]

Thank you! We're so glad you found the content you were looking for! 😊

[@rusyanyasin7210]

Thank you so much for making this vlog. It’s so wonderful to see it.

[@GoMagic]

Thank you for your kind words 😊

[@NorthcenterGo]

Loved this so much, thanks for sharing.

[@thisguyturntup]

Awesome vlog!!

[@twontos]

1:13 i was literally eating sand at that age lol Nice vlog btw ❤❤❤

[@GoMagic]

😂 We’ve all been there-kids and their wild experiments with the world.

[@fedegianotti71]

Amazing video thank you so much!

[@mikusai]

Really enjoyed this video, great job!

[@pierpiero]

I'd be very interested in an episode or two about handicap go. How to play as either side? I find myself often baffled as black.

[@GoMagic]

At some point we’ll definitely consider creating an episode or two to explore strategies for both sides. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Rohan-yg5nx]

Thanks for this great vlog.

[@robotcuddles2910]

I love this!

[@derscalismaninformulleri2584]

i watched this during my study break and ı like it ı want this videos more

[@anuzis]

Looks like an amazing trip! Especially that public park where people are playing free. Has anyone heard of a similar park in Japan? Living in Tokyo, the only places i know of are all pay to enter and play, which I gladly do, but it would also be great to know of public parks where people play if they exist.

[@GoMagic]

Your trip sounds fantastic! Someday, Vadim will definitely make his way to Japan and explore the local Go culture there-public parks, cozy salons, and everything in between.

[@gosensations]

Спасибо! Шикарная атмосфера! Снова захотелось туда вернуться.

[@GoMagic]

Спасибо за просмотр!

[@MusokeMSK]

Such a cool vlog. Would love to see more🤩

[@rickyphi922]

Great video. I visited both Seoul and Busan in recent years and found none of those places!

[@GoMagic]

Seoul and Busan definitely have their hidden gems! 😉

[@garrettdebbink6381]

Really cool video! Appreciate the view into places of the world I can't get to right now, through the lens of a game I'm trying to get better at!

[@GoMagic]

Thank you so much! We're thrilled the video could give you a window into another part of the Go world. 😊

[@liba01]

I'd love to see more Vlogs about local Go culture. Of course the Baduk Association and world of pros is interesting, but maybe even more just the regular korean amateur Go players, who play for fun. There's lots of Vlogs of people playing chess in the park in New York, but it's the first time I've seen something like this for Go.

[@GoMagic]

Vadim would love to be on the road all the time, exploring the local Go scenes everywhere-but we need him in the studio too! 😄🎥 Maybe one day we’ll figure out how to clone him so he can do both at once. 😉 Thanks for the support and the great idea!

[@Chicabaduk]

I, too, wish to visit South Korea someday

[@Meijin628]

The next trip should be to Japan, especially the most important places and landmarks that appeared in Hikaru no Go.

[@GoMagic]

That would be an incredible trip! ✈️

[@ThanatosMORTIS]

I went to that same kiwon when i visited busan a few weeks ago. They had a computer set up in the corner, though. I played about 4 games. They didn't really want to play with me, though, cause im too weak. Pushed me over to the computer and had me play a game on their computer..... i was like "i came here to play in person, i can play online anytime i want".

[@GoMagic]

We totally get your frustration. 😣

[@thenakedsingularity]

Your Chinese pronunciation is amazing. I am Chinese by the way.

[@GoMagic]

That means a lot, especially coming from a native speaker. 😊

[@SaePark]

If you come to Tokyo for Go or filming, let me know. I will give you a tour. :)

[@GoMagic]

That’s such a kind offer-thank you! 😊

[@nobetternickname]

But... What are the 10 golden rules of Go? Could that he the subject of another video, please?

[@GoMagic]

Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll definitely consider adding it to our list of future content.

[@plrc4593]

Does anybody know whether they play go in North Korea?

[@sadaharu5870]

Of course they do and they are very strong

[@alonehobo]

3:22 I see what you did there😏

[@GoMagic]

Huh?

[@wwbdwwbd]

People live so happily under martial law.

[@GoMagic]
