And many others in real life who works as athletes have this mindset too. This is very realistic too. Think of Nadal the tennist
still, it doesnt change my mind. Like i thought he got his jinx because of some kind of abuse, you know
Wait wdym, that he got abused into thinking he had a jinx?
he has bad childhood and i thought that someone abused him sexually, so thats how he got his jinx. I was thinking that untill i saw the real reason, which not gonna lie it dissapointed me
Idk Rick with all the abuse he went through I'm glad the author did not go for that and that i didn't have to see such thing 0_0
yeah, but it was stupid, at least for me
Actually, his jinx is a routine that he had to adopt to ease his mind from trauma to perform better at a match. All of this was to forget about his father and all the trauma he suffers from, hence why, before a match, he drinks milk (which he used to steal and was most likely precious to him), makes sure to be clean (he got bullied by other kids for that) and has sex (it's stimulating and apparently works great against the nightmares he has about his father). When you say the reason of his jinx is stupid, I have to disagree because his jinx actually includes all the other traumas I mentioned before. It just so happens that sex is effective on him.
you got disappointed that jk didnt get sexually abused?
you explained it so good
i dont get how people only talk about how much they hate him. Its actually impressive to manage writing a storyline this good
for his drinking milk i understand, but to fuck random people i dont
no, is just he is jerk towards towards kim dan and now when i saw his bad childhood, lets say it doesnt excuse his actions towards kim dan, it was stupid that he got his jinx just because he saw a guy reading bible
You described it perfectly. The jinx (to me) was very on point, not some fictional stuff but downright a mental problematic that circles around every major point that still troubles him psychologically. Very realistic i might say
I agree, I love Mingwa's storytelling. Everyone was wondering why he was so obsessed with winning and why his jinx was so important to him. I like how she unveiled the mystery when we got to know more about JK and his childhood, it was well written ^^
Like I said, there's nothing to understand here. Many athletes just have this random thing that helps them perform better. In the manhwa, there's another guy that reads the bible : it's his routine, his jinx. For JK, it's sex. Simple.
Yes, I like how realistic it is. It depicts well how trauma can affect someone, no matter how strong-willed they might be. JK is the best athlete because he was always so determined to change his life. But his traumatic past was a challenge for him, which is why, until he found his jinx, he was haunted by his fears. Mingwa made the character more interesting that way ^^
so what, he got this jinx just because he lost few matches when he was young? Thats stupid
