Lokwangenta ngema ngeKorea ngempela, bekungasiwo emabhodlela aseMyeongdong, noma lokusebenta lokuphelele kwesitimela kusuka esikhumulweni kutsi kungene edolobheni, kodvwa kwaba libhola lepulasitiki emgudvulweni lomncane waseHongdae. Licembu laseKorea beseliphumile, umkhando wemidlalo emakhalekhukhwini bewungasadingi kuhlolwa, kodvwa ngehora lesi-9 ebusuku eHongdae bekusenebantfu labagcoke ijezi lebovu lesive. Bafundzi lababili babeka tikhwama tabo njengemagoli, badlala batsatfu kubatsatfu ngaphambi kwesitolo semtfolampini. Ibhola lagudla lisondo lomshayeli wekudla, lacishe laginqika endlini yekosa inyama, bantfu labasedvute abazange bamkhalimele, vele bahleka bamemeta 'Sonny!' Leligama belifana nekushisa lokungakapholi, kunamatela ngaphansi kwetibane temgwaco.

Ibhola lemigwaco yaseHongdae kanye nekudansa kwemigwaco kuhlukene ngemamitha langaphansi kwangemashumi lamabili. Ngesandla sekuncele kunetinhlelo, kuhalalisela, kanye nemakhalekhukhwini aphakanyiswe ngemantfombatane, ngesandla sekudla kukhala kwetinyawo emhlabatsini wesamente. Umfana lobekagcoke ijezi leTottenham lendzala wamisa ibhola kakhulu, wahlutswa ngumngani wakhe ngeKorean, wehlisa emehlo wahleka, wase ubuyisela ibhola ngesithende. Umoya webhola laseKorea awukhulumi ngekukhululeka njengaseNingizimu yeMelika, futhi awugoqwa kahle njengaseJapan. Ufana kakhulu ne-sauce ye-tteokbokki yasebusuku eHongdae, kumnandzi kucala, bubaba kufika kamuva, nasewucabanga kutsi sekuphelile, emphinjeni kusashisa.

Ngelilanga lelilandzelako ngaya eGyeongbokgung. Tindzawo tekuhira ingubo yesintfu ngaphandle kweGwanghwamun tivula ekuseni, timbali letipinki, letiluhlata, letimhlophe-mhlophe tiphephulwa ngumoya. Kugcoka ingubo yesintfu ungene esigodlweni kuyakukhulula emalini yekungena, lomtsetfo ucishe ubhalwe kuto tonkhe tincwadzi tekuhamba, kodvwa kuphela nangabe umi eceleni kwelubondza lwesigodlo uyabona kutsi kumangalisa kangakanani: tivakashi letigcoke emathengisi tiphatsa tinfuku tato ngekucophelela tikhwele sitebhisi, umsindvo wesigubhu sekushintja kwabalindi uvela emnyango, kukhashane umntfwana ujaha ibhola lelingabonakali ngaphambi kwesitfombe seNkhosi Sejong. Lisiko lapha alikho engilazini, lihamba netindvuku tekutfwebula, emakhadi esitimela, emakhofi labandako, kanye nemajezi ngesikhatsi sinye.

Ngahlangana nemdlali lotsetsile eceleni kweGyeongbokgung. Bekangasiwo umdlali lodvumile, vele watsi bekadlala ku-K League 2, ngemuva kwekulimala kwemadvolo wase ufundzisa intsha. Lokumangalisako, bekagcoke ijezi le-FC Seoul lendzala, ema eceleni kwemgwaco asebentisa libhodlela lemanti njengelibhodi lemaqhinga, afundzisa bafana labatsatfu labasesigabeni sekufikela kutsi umdlali wasemuva kufanele acindzetele nini. Umunwe wakhe wadvweba umudvwana lotsembile phansi, bafana bachusha babuka, tivakashi tadlula, tacabanga kutsi ngulokubukisa lokutsite. Lena yincenye yeKorea lotibona kuphela nangabe uyihambile: ibhola alihlali tikhungweni tekutsengisa emathikithi kuphela, ngesinye sikhatsi liphambi kwelubondza lwesigodlo ngaphansi kwesitfunti sesihlahla, lichubeka licocwa ngumuntfu longasakwati kudlala.

Ebusuku ngabuyela e-Euljiro, ngayikhetsela inyama yami yekucala leyosiwe esitolo lesincane lesingenamakhaseli esiNgisi. Umnakeli wasika inyama yengulube yaba tincenye letifanele umlomo munye, inkhoshane yegaliki yawela eceleni kwemafutsa epanini, ikhabetjhi lelikhuliswe eshaweni laphekwa laze kwaba mnyama emaphetselweni. Indvodza leyisetfuleni lecishe lakhe yangibona ngiphuza emanti kuphela, yangendlulisela ingilazi yeligologo laseKorea, yatsi kubuka ibhola kufanele kuphuzwe kanjalo, ngisho nobe umdlalo ungasenawo lelicembu laseKorea. Emakhalekhukhwini abo kusadlalwa titfombe taSon Heung-min, lomunye aphefumulela phansi, lomunye atsi sewente konkhe lokwanele. Leligologo lihamba lihlobile, kodvwa emandla ayo ayafika emuva, njengemuzwa laseKorea ulishiye ngenca yaleNdebe yeMhlaba: bahluliwe, kodvwa akukapholi.

IMakethe yeJagalchi yaseBusan yaguqula lokushisa kwaba yiphunga. Ngehora lesitsatfu emva kwemini, emanti elwandle, inhlanti, lighwa, iphunga ledizili, kanye nemphunga wesobho lelikhaliphile lesitezi sesibili kuhlanganiswe, kufana nelubondza loluhambako. Ingwane yemanzini inamathele engilazini, anti wakha insimbi, inhlanti yatikolitela, emanti agcwele esicathulweni sami. IBusan ayinamusa, ikususa emtfolampini nasezigodlweni zaseSeoul ngephunga laselwandle. Ngephandle kwemakethe kunebantfwana badlala ibhola eceleni kwetjani, ibhola laginqika etinyaweni zomtsengisi wezinhlanti, wabhampa ngesicathulo selastic, waphasisa ngekucophelela. Lokukhahlela kunye kufana neBusan kunanoma ngusiphi sitfombe sekukhangisa.

Kusuka eBusan ngabuya eSeoul, ngahamba nge-ITX ngekukhetsekile ngaya eChuncheon. Umfula iHan ngephandle kwelifasitelo wancipha kancane, lidolobha laphela kwaba tintsaba letiphansi, emadamu kanye nesiteshi lesinokuthula. Indzawo yaseSon Heung-min ayizange itimakete njengendawo lengcwele ngetimpawu letinkhulu, akukho lokujabulisa lokwedlulele lobengikhulume ngako ngesikhatsi ngehla. IChuncheon ifana kakhulu nendzawo lekwati kutsi inekuzigcabha, kodvwa ingajahisi kukusho. Emgudvulweni we-dakgalbi, tinsimbi tiyakhala, emakhasi agcotjwe nge-sauce lebovu, iTV yesitolo ibonisa tindzaba temidlalo. Umnikati wangiva ngitsi 'Son Heung-min,' wahleka, wakhomba liphosta lelisayiniwe elubondzeni, watsi bantfu labanyenti bata eChuncheon nyalo, hhayi ngeNami Island, kodvwa kubona kutsi wacala kuphi.

Ngekuhlwa ngaya emfuleni, bafundzi labanyenti labasemkhatsini baprakthiza kushaya emagoli endzaweni levalekile, emagoli akhiwa ngetikhwama letimbili. Lomunye umfana washaya eceleni, akazange acunuke, esikhundleni saloko walingisa Son Heung-min lowatiwako kugubha kwakhe, wabamba iminwe yakhe kwaba yikhamera, 'watfwebula' labanye. Bonkhe bahleka kakhulu, bahleka baphindze bagijima. Licembu laseKorea laphuma, eChuncheon akuzange kube nzima. Umdlalo welicembu lesive uyaphela, emadlodlo angakhula, tikhangisi tingashintjwa, kodvwa nangabe umntfwana alingisa umdlali wakhe lomkhulu, lokushisa kuphindze kukhanyiswe.

Ngaphambi kwekusuka eKorea, ngaphindze ngaya eHongdae. Lomgudvwula lomncane bewusamemeta, umuntfu wekosa inyama uvela emaphempini, emabhodlela eligologo etitikini enanela ngekukhala lokuhle. Ibhola lemigwaco seshintje bantfu, ibhola kuseyilo libhola lepulasitiki leligugile. Umfana logcoke jezi lebovu laseKorea wamisa ibhola esicathulweni, wabheka emuva esikrinini wabuka timphawulo temdlalo, wase utsi: 'Esesitfusa.' Watsi kancane, kungafani nekudvudvuta labanye, kodvwa wacalisa umoya kuye.

Yilena iKorea lengiyikhumbulako: akusiko kuhamba eGyeongbokgung, eHongdae, eMakethe yeJagalchi naseChuncheon ngekulandelana, kodvwa ngemuva kwekuphuma, kubuka kutsi live lilugcina njani lutsandvo. Lufihlakele engilazini yeligologo laseKorea lowawunikelwa esitolo senyama, emgudvwuleni lotsembile lowadvwetjwa phansi ngumdlali lotsetsile, ekukhateleni lokukodwa lokwabuyiselwa ngumnikati wemakethe yenhlanti ngesicathulo selastic, kanye nasesekondeni lapho umuntfu asamemeta ligama likaSon Heung-min emgwacweni ngemuva kwekusuka kwakhe eNdebeni yeMhlaba. Kushisa kwebhola laseKorea akukapholi esikrinini lesikhulu, kusemgwacweni, kusetinyaweni, kusabo bonkhe labasha labatsi 'esesitfusa.'
