‘Garlic Girls’ in the dark about fame

South Korea’s women’s curling team have become a global sensation. And they don’t even know it.

The team known as the ‘Garlic Girls’ came into the Pyeongchang Games as the underdogs who few believed would contend for a medal. Now they’re number one in the rankings.

They have earned worldwide attention for their fierce talent and gregarious disposition.

But their coach has shielded them from publicity and the women agreed to turn off their phones before the Games. So they have no idea they’re superstars.

They got their name from their hometown of Uiseong, known for its prolific garlic production.
