The Red Devil's Club (www.reddevil.or.kr) is devoted to Korean soccer. The popularity of the Red T-shirt is growing tremendously in South Korea.

It all started in the spring of 1995 with the Support Club for the Yugong National team (The Elephants). Then support clubs for other national teams followed. In 1997, the support clubs merged and became "Red Devil" (bul-gun ag-ma).

There are over 100,000 members and 10 factions for each national team today. The membership is expected to grow as a result of Korea's entrance to the round of 16 in this year's World Cup. They have supported their national team during World Cup 1998 in France.

There were 3 Red Devil member sites found at yahoo.co.kr.

Personal fan sites are full of information. For example, my.netian.com/~csogame/main.htm details the history of World Cup events.

View a Korean Web site at babelfish.altavista.com by setting the translation on "Korean to English" and pasting the site address under "Webpage." The site also translates other languages, though the translation may not always be accurate.
