Life In 19x19

Thread about ways of promoting Go around the world.

Please check this Korean clip:

110 millions views on Youtube in less than 2 months. Few mln views every day!
You can see Korean game changki (Korean chess) here on 0:52. But it was possible to show baduk instead.
Just few seconds and ... lot of non-Go players around the world would google "korean game shown on PSY clip"

Someone have to suggest Hankuk Kiwon this kind of tesuji!

Not twenty hours ago I was pausing on that same video to verify that that was indeed not go.

A lost opportunity.

...

Waste of time and effort if you ask me.

The message would be "Play this old board game and some weird shiny guy in sunglasses will appear, rapping and ultimately causing you to explode!".

It`s hard to understand how this video itself was so popular, and I just cannot see changki getting a popularity surge out of its brief feature in it.

Maybe if someone really huge globally were to be seen engrossed in a game of go...Lady GoGo, maybe?

I am not a fan of that Genre of music, but that song and Video was great. Though I agree, I doubt it did much for Jangi's popularity.

Epic. Thanks for posting.
