SEOUL, October 17 (AJP) - "Sweeping victory, Blue Team! Cheer on, White Team!" On a clear, blue Autumn Friday, children's laughter filled an elementary school playground in Jungnang District Seoul. The field day with full-on participation from lower grade students in the morning and higher grade students in the afternoon bustled with anticipation with parents joining in. Around 300 students played games in the first half, and the same number in the second.

Participants gave it their best, with determined attitudes. Even outside of matches they cheered on the contestants, cheering nearly as competitively as the contestants themselves. Roaring victory howls and deep sighs were heard as each game concluded, yet all gave hearty congratulations and encouragement to both sides afterwards.
