FTW features Korean booters from Stallion FC

Three of the Korean members of Stallion FC were recently featured in the exclusive web show FTW (For The Win). These included defender Pi Yong-Jae, midfielder Lee Joo-Young, and midfielder Park Bo-Bae. The light and funny segment puts the spotlight on the Korean connection of the team: probing a little on their backgrounds as well as emphasizing the relationship and teamwork between the Korean players and their Filipino teammates. Too bad, my favorite player Nam Yeul-Woo wasn’t part of the interview!!!
