Why did fans react so sensitively to the 'Altitude Sickness' sketchbook picket that appeared at the Hanwha Eagles game? We've summarized everything from the meaning of the altitude sickness joke to the reasons why the fandom is so sensitive!

1. Why is the Altitude Sickness Sketchbook controversial?

Amid the Hanwha Eagles' rising popularity, a fan showed up at the cheering section holding a sketchbook with the phrase "Altitude Sickness" written on it.


It was captured on the broadcast screen, and it became a hot topic when the person uploaded a verification shot on Instagram.

But the problem came after that. An acquaintance who saw the post revealed personal information to the community, and the controversy grew in an instant.

2. What does altitude sickness drip mean?

Actually, the 'altitude sickness' joke itself doesn't sound bad. It's more like a nuance of being proud of your current performance, saying that your ranking is so high that you're running out of oxygen.


But baseball fans, especially Hanwha fans, feel a strange jinx about this expression.

3. Why fans react so sensitively
Actually, there is a reason why Hanwha fans are so sensitive.

- In the past, when Hanwha was in first place, right after the 'altitude sickness' picket appeared, their performance plummeted and they ended up in last place.



There have been quite a few cases where jokes that ruined the team spirit actually led to a decline in performance.

For this reason , words like altitude sickness were considered taboo among fans.

4. In the end, the fan's personal information was revealed.

The fan who held the picket may have simply been doing it for fun,

Some fans interpreted the intention as “deliberate sabotage of the team,” and it eventually led to personal information being leaked.


Contrary to expectations that he would be a minor, the community's anger has grown as it has become known that he is a college student.

This incident showed that just as baseball fandom is passionate, so too is the belief in 'jinxes'.

The drip itself may be fun, but when fan sentiment that it can affect the flow of the team is entangled, the results are unpredictable.
I think I'll be more careful when holding up my 'supporting picket' after this incident.
