Bboy Onion R.I.P (with translations)

Please click 'more'.

THIS IS THE NO-INTERVIEW VERSION (to stay within the 10 minute upload limit).

Watch the video response for the interviews.

Bboy Onion from 20th Century Boys, Korea.
He was killed in a hit-and-run car accident in June 2006.

He is my favorite bboy ever. Watch how he barely cared about winning. Learn from this legend.

Partial translations of the interviews in the 'old' video (with interviews) from sukkie (member of Bboyworld):

I'll just roughly translate what he said:
1 min 42 (old vid) : I am just going to have fun and enjoy myself, the other teams are putting everything on the line for this, but for me, I am just going to have fun.

6 min (old vid) : Hey, I can't use my real name but you can call me Onion Kim and I am the leader of Onion village crew, I aint a comedian but I just wanted to have fun bboyin and came up with a 'fun' name.

The letter, from Bruce Lee, member of Gambler crew:

I thought you'd be be here the longest but you've departed so quickly..
I regret not seeing you often -
I remember how we used to train together back in the days..
It's already been five years, though it doesn't seem so long ago..
even back then you enjoyed your life to the fullest!
I wanted to take you out on a spin..
but I aint worried for you, because I know that your going to be sweet where ever you may be..

rest in peace ㅠㅠ

[BboyIntro]

Hey, thanks for reminding me. Watch the video response.

[shinkushadow]

Yeah, from watching Onion (20th Century Boys), Crazy Geun (Extreme Crew)and Taiyou (Last 4 One)I learned that b-boying for fun and passion feels so much better than b-boying to win or to be the best. Just b-boy and have fun. Enjoy it to its fullest because the end comes unexpectedly. Rest in Peace ONION and Peace...

[RiisuKun]

Hahaha! Starting at 4 min and onwards he is making fun of Crazy Geun having hairy armpits. Haha, so funny, Crazy Geun is cool for not taking it seriously, because so many people would get so offended and get pissed off. Onion must have been a great guy, living that that, I am trying to do the same.
