VfB's Lone Fan in North Korea: Tae-hyun's Passionate Support

A person is facing the camera, wearing a red baseball cap with the letters VFB in white. The individual has short dark hair peeking from the cap. They are also wearing a thick red and white striped scarf wrapped around their neck, along with a dark-colored coat. The background is a muted, textured surface, suggesting an outdoor setting. The overall image has a vintage or retro color tone, giving it an aged appearance.


Dear @vfb,

Greetings from Pyongyang! My name is Tae-hyun, and I’m writing to let you know something very important: I am probably the only proud VfB fan in all of North Korea. That’s right—one lone red-and-white scarf-waving supporter holding it down here in Pyongyang. You’d be amazed at the looks I get when I wear my VfB cap (with "VfB" embroidered proudly) around town.

Now, here’s the thing: I know of three other Bundesliga fans here, but they all support Bayern Munich. Can you imagine my suffering? They won’t stop talking about trophies, and I swear, they celebrate every win as if they personally kicked the goals. Don’t even get me started on the "Mia san Mia" chants—I hear them in my nightmares! I try to keep the peace, but honestly, our conversations usually end with us arguing over which team is truly "number one." (Hint: it’s not Bayern.)

I just wanted you to know that even here, halfway across the world, VfB has a loyal fan. I follow every match I can, and every win feels like a victory for me too. If you ever decide to send some VfB merch to North Korea, I’ll make sure to wave the flag high and loud—maybe even convert one of those Bayern fans (but I’m not holding my breath).

Keep up the amazing work, and best of luck for the rest of the season. You’ve got at least one fan here cheering with all his heart.

With pride and red-and-white stripes,
Tae-hyun
