EPTA Week in the Lives of MBCGame Progamers
So what did the HEROes of MBC do this past week besides practice and more practice? Apparently, a number of things, judging from their tweets…
Last Sunday: Dinner at Noryangjin
The top contenders for the HERO Off-Race Starleague (HORSe) went to a Noryangjin Fish Market restaurant for a fish stew dinner last Sunday night, to celebrate Hyun's victory in HORSe- Pusan, Sang, Crise, Check and Hyun went. Hyun tweeted the following pictures.

Crise, Pusan and Sang. No pictures of Check, he’s quite shy.

Looks good, mmmmm...hungry….
Meanwhile, a little bit earlier…
When Hyun was away from MBC house, he seemed to have tweeted something strange:
“I wasn’t thinking straight.. to have eaten all the food was a bad thing and careless of me. I apologise..”
?????
It turned out that one of his teammates had taken Hyun’s ipad and started sending tweets from his account.
Hyun thought the main suspects were Tyson and Tiny.
But Tyson denied it: “ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋit wasn’t me”
However according to Sura: “it was Tyson and Tiny, I saw itㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
Monday: Morning Football
The MBC players and coaches (Special Force team included, as always) woke up early to play some morning football amongst themselves at a nearby football pitch. Hyun was very happy about this and turned up in his Barcelona kit. Unfortunately for him, the team Hyun was on lost 2-4.
Hyun tweeted these two pictures:

Tuesday: Hair Salon Visit
On Tuesday evening, a few players went to a hair salon to get their hair cut and hair color changed.
Fans suggested to Hyun to dye it back to black. But eventually he revealed that he had dyed it brown. He said he preferred the red hair look though, and Lim Sura tweeted that she concurred. From Hyun's twitter:

Also, at the seminar, Hyun met up with his good friend Jangbi and they started chatting. Hmm… what could they have been talking about?

Perhaps something like this:
“Yeong Mu ya, what do you think I should buy at ABC Mart? Some Vans or Nikes?”
or maaybe…
“You know, lately, I’ve returned to twitter. You should join too so we can send tweets to one another!”
“Yeong Mu ya, what do you think I should buy at ABC Mart? Some Vans or Nikes?”
or maaybe…
“You know, lately, I’ve returned to twitter. You should join too so we can send tweets to one another!”
Thursday: Post-MSL
Tyson was extremely disappointed with getting knocked out of the MSL
but Light, somewhat distastefully, still teased him: “ㅋㅋgood effort ㅋㅋ”. Hyun stood up for Tyson and told Light this: “Any more noise from you and you’re dead. That’s the truth. tsk tsk” [T/N: Hyun and Light are very close so if Light steps out of line, Hyun will tell him so. They’re not fighting.]
Friday: Dinner at VIPS Steak and Salad Restaurant
On Friday night, Hyun went with Sura noona and a few other MBC progamers to VIPS Restaurant for dinner. They arrived around 7pm. Here are some pictures tweeted by Hyun:

Four hours later, a curious fan tweets both Sura and Hyun: “Are you two still togetherㅋㅋ”
Sura noona replies: “ㅋㅋ that’s right. Seok Hyun is still eating so I’m waitingㅋㅋ”
!!!!!
Later, another fan tweets Sura: “ㅎㄷㄷDoes he normally eat this much??”
The next day, Sura replied: “ㅋㅋYes. Anyhow it’s good to see guys eating so wellㅋㅋ”
Epilogue
I was on twitter when Hyun tweeted again after he was done with his dinner at VIPS. Out of the blue, he said…
“Game-all-mot (겜알못) has entered the Naver dictionary. Yeong Mu (Jangbi) yah, hyung is proud of youㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ” + Show Spoiler +
"Game-all-mot" is an acronym referring to people who don't understand the game. It was the phrase Jangbi used to tell off netizens who left critical messages on his cyworld- 게임을 알지도 못하는 놈들아 It has since became a popular catch-phrase in Korean SC forums.

And a few minutes later, Hyun tweeted…
“@jangbitoss Cute Aeng Mu ~!!” (a play on Jangbi’s name, Yeong Mu)
and
“Yeong Mu, the creator of the popular phrase, Game-all-mot, has started a twitter ~!!
@jangbitossㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
And there you go, Jangbi had indeed just created a twitter account:

Jangbi's first message:
“@jangbitoss Hello, because I’ve just started a twitter, I’m still a chobo. Please guide me along.” [T/N: He makes the mistake of tweeting himself]
Hyun retweets this and jokingly refers to Jangbi as Teu –all-mot트알못 (tweet/트윗 + all-mot). Within seconds, word of this spreads to dcinside and netizens are rofl at Hyun’s joke:

A day or two later on twitter…
Jangbi, following Hyun’s example, has added “all-mot” to several words, making new acronyms like bam-all-mot/밥알못, bowl-all-mot/볼알못 (Khan ate dinner at a restaurant before they went bowling) and weo-all-mot 워알못 (workshop= 워크샵).
Tyson, in a better mood, got in on the conversation too:
“Yeong Mu hyung, your picture is sooo cute ㅋㅋ”
Hyun’s response: “..??”
