This post is trending because it captures the widespread disappointment and frustration among Korean baseball fans after the national team suffered a highly embarrassing 'cold game' defeat in an international tournament, a rare and humiliating outcome.
Korean baseball fans are in a collective state of disbelief and despair after the national team suffered a humiliating 'cold game' defeat against the Dominican Republic. This isn't just any loss; a 'cold game' (콜드게임) means the game was called early due to a massive run difference, a rare and often embarrassing occurrence in professional baseball, especially for a nation with such strong national pride in its sports. The original poster sarcastically suggested that instead of wasting time watching such a dismal performance, people should 'go to a protest (집회) or read a book' – anything but baseball. The sentiment is clear: fans are utterly fed up, questioning how such a crushing defeat could even be possible for a national team.

Like @Big.Victor said, I avoid baseball whenever possible now, it's like enduring hardship (와신상담) for revenge, but for my mental health lol.
Don't think this will make soccer more popular... honestly, against MLB players, that was a pretty decent effort.
I only caught the 7th inning home run by refreshing Naver for this game, and I seriously wondered, 'Is there a cold game rule? Is this pro or amateur?' I couldn't believe it. (Why did I even bother checking if I wasn't gonna cheer anyway?)
Usually, if you're not interested, you wouldn't even bother writing a post about it. Keep the love coming! No comments are scarier than hate comments.
