Rainmaker18, 어떻게 이것을 시작했나.

During last summer, me and Nicolas were looking at the Olympics football games, when we found out about Celta making a bid for 박주영. I knew Park from his spell at Monaco, but lost sight of him when he signed for Arsenal. I started talking to Nicolas about him while we watched the games. We both are huge Celta fans, and started dreaming about seeing the Korean striker wearing Celta's top.

For weeks seemed as if the signing was a done deal, but it took a long time before Celta made the loan official. The day before the deadline ended, Celta confirmed that Park was a Celta player, and he was presented on Friday 31st to the supporters and media. I was talking to Nicolas about Park coming to Vigo and decided that we were going to make something special to welcome him. I had created a twitter account, and had one Korean follower that confirmed that the sign we decided to make, said what was supposed to say.

We arrived first at the presentation, and seated on the front row. Nicolas had his sign ready, and was very nervous. As soon as Park came out, he saw the sign and pointed at Nicolas making the ok sign. He did the normal rutine on a presentation for the media, and then he went to the fans, who where crazy about him. He fisrst stoped with Nicolas, where he signed an autograph to him. That moment was captured by many photographers and cameras, and I did get a copy of one of the photos, and that moment changed everything.

As soon as I got home, I posted the pic, for my follower to see. Tht night I could not sleep at all. My phone was ringing all the time with new followers on my twitter account, 80 the first day. As people wanted to see photos, I decided to open a blog so I could share my photos, but did not realized what was about to happen. The first day 500 people visited the blog, just to see the photos. 

As the days passed, I decided to post more information with articles, videos, resources,... not only about Park, but also about Celta, so Korean fans could get to know a little bit more about them. Visitors kept growing as the days passed, and Korean fans started to show me their love, and that realy touched me. That was the reason of my level of involvement, something that started as a hobby, ended up being the most visited Celta or Park page not only in Spain, but posibly around the world.

I will try to keep this as it is, a fan place, a place to share our respect and love for this Sport.

All Korean fans are a very important for this blog, and your support helps me everyday. I have found my second home, about 10.000 km away from where I am siting right now.
