Today on the show, Mr. S goes on assignment in Jinju to cover the bull fights of traditional Korean Culture found in a modern stadium that didn't have bulgogi. We'll talk a little about the history and where you find the bullfights, along with the modern controversy of animal rights. It's one of those sports you probably would only want to see once, unless you like betting.
GAME OF THE WEEK! Hanwha vs Kia at 5PM on Sunday, along with Dangjin vs Geoje K4 footie.
