"It was harsh when I was eliminated from both individual leagues last season. I was physically drained when I played against Best in the OGN Starleague. On Wednesday I played the Winner’s League, and the very same night I had to play in the OGN Starleague and the very next day I ended up crashing out of the MSL as well. I think that my current position would have been different had I handled the situation better. They should arrange the schedule so that such a thing does not happen in my opinion. I actually wanted to quit progaming after I dropped out of the MSL (laughs). It wasn’t just the harshness of the defeat; I was worn out by gaming in general. The schedule was just too tough. I was exhausted that I told my manager that I couldn’t go on."

"It was back I was really young, probably when I was in third year of primary school. I watched my elder brother play Starcraft, but he didn’t help me much. Just when I got the hang of the game, my parents got rid of the computer. Then I went to internet cafes to play FPS mainly, but got interested in Starcraft again after I watched it being broadcasted on television. My parents brought another computer around winter time, and I ended up beating people who had been playing it for over a year after a while. I surprised myself by successfully incorporating progamer strategies I saw on television (laughs).

So I ended up passing the KOR (currently Hite Sparkyz) team entry test. But I was just an online practice partner, and they neglected me too much (laughs). When I told them that I was going to quit their team, the then coach of team KOR asked me “are you seriously going quit?”. It may seem unthinkable for an online practice partner to just move teams like that, but I had little choice since my time was running about. I made a promise with my parents, and I had a precious few months to keep that promise. I did get my semi-professional progaming license while I was with KOR, and I moved to Pantech and Curitel after someone I know introduced me to them. Thankfully, coach Lee Gwang Su took good care of me. After one or two months of joining the team, I ended placing first on every team ranking tournament for the next six months. When the word got out, several teams approached me, but I chose KTF. There were some problems with the trade (laughs)."
