In this episode, I travel to Jeonju for a K League showdown between Jeonbuk Motors and Jeju United — and nothing goes as planned. Lost in translation, broke, hungover, and hauling a suitcase in 30°C heat, I somehow make it to the stadium… without a ticket.

What followed? A 35,000-seat World Cup stadium, fans in full voice, players introduced like video game characters, and the weirdest halftime show ever: opera. On the pitch.

This is what football travel is about. Culture shock, awkward moments, suprise goals, and pure joy.

Join me as I relive one of the most bizarre matchdays I’ve ever had. This is Kickoff Tales.
