Main Motivation 1: Internet is a bit too quiet today for my liking, and I'm doing work at the moment and I need something to distract me now and then so I can take nice little breaks while working.

Main Motivation 2: I'm sure there are some more things you guys were curious regarding Koreans or my experience in MLG that weren't covered by the blogs or my posts. Also, they're good to trigger my memory so I remember more stories.

Let's see where this goes.

That would imply I'm at John's level. I'm not. I'd be honored to do something like that for a charity match or something like that, but it'd have to be more than YGO. Maybe we should throw in some Puyo Puyo to the mix.

Hi milkies! I have a few to ask actually.

1. Do you personally hang out with the Korean SC2 pro-players when they are here in America? I've seen a few of your tweets that you take them to places (like Dennys), is that your job?
2. Do you ever think Korean in your head?
3. Are you friends with any of the Korean SC2 pro-players? or more like acquaintances?

Who is your favorite Korean SC2 pro, excluding Boxer, and why?

Who is your favorite Foreign SC2 pro, and why?

What are you working on?

Favorite Kpop girl group/member?

Do you think that if Broodwar is to really die out, that Broodwar fans in Korea will move along with their lives, or transition to SC2? The same for many of the pros. Would players like Flash, Jaedong, Stork and Bisu be willing to start at the bottom in a different game, or just move on to college or something else?

Do you like Seinfeld?

Are either MLG or TL paying for your travel to live events?

As a translator at MLG events for the Korean super stars SlayerS_MMA, the rest of the SlayerS team,

and the other progamers, do you ever get to play/practice with them? And also one more question;

what is your absolute favorite SC2 moment in-game or out of game? If you play on NA servers hit me

up for some games!

Someone who is always positive and energetic, outgoing. Someone who can clash with me so that we both improve as a person as we interact with one another(so a lot of patience required here too, humility, and open mindedness).

All the time, actually. If I'm interacting with Koreans mostly, then I think in Korean (so church setting, when I'm with my parents). Otherwise, English.

To be honest I don't understand why you guys think I'm awesome. There are a ton of other people who definitely do a lot more for the community, and there are a ton of other translators who never get as much recognition even though they also do a lot. I feel really bad that these many other people don't get as recognition as they deserve

I felt completely out of place getting cheers at the awards ceremony in MLG Anaheim, I was like, what, why is this even happening, the people who were on the stage with me were on a completely different level in terms of how much they do T_T

I haven't heard too much conversations about Ret. The only time that happened was when Ret was playing Rain cause it would dictate who got first on MMA's group this MLG.

I'm sure there's a minimum that you have to drink in order to maintain a baseline awesome. Personally, I can't drink any milk at all, and I think that affects me.

Does it affect me?

That's my second question.

What are your favorite pro games ever, for each of the 6 matchups. Ever. BW of course .

Also, how did you manage to know someone from my floor at college, I remember I was talking to him and he said he knew you, and I was like freaking out, like, "OMG YOU KNOW HIM WTFHOLYCRAP THAT'S AWESOME!" (iirc his online name was sarenji I think).

Where do you see yourself in a few years? I recall on WoC that you're studying statistics, where do you want to take that? Have you considered or thought about the possibilities doing something more full time pertaining obviously to Starcraft and specifically translating/mlg/working with korea etc.

Good question. I'm pretty sure English, although I did dream in Korean when I stayed in Korea for a few months a few years ago. But my dreams always feel completely silent and I don't think there's ever languages, they're always me in this eerie world and I just do things according to some story. it's strange.

1) I lived in Korea, Phillippines, and a few places around the US. (NJ NY KY MN), and now I'm at Chicago.
2) I know two, Korean and English. I don't ever remember not knowing either of those languages. My parents went out of their way to buy a lot of Korean books for me to read when I was growing up, they used to spend like 2K + on books alone a year.
3) I always contribute because I love the community. That's why whenever the community sometimes does really silly things I really get discouraged about contributing. One example of this was when that stupid ICCUP drama hit the BW forums and that was a huge discouragement on contributing to anything BW related.

I think it's pointless to discuss who the "greatest SC2 Zerg" only a year after release. But I like DRG and LosirA a lot, although that's probably because I met them haha

Favorite moments? I loved MLG Columbus, especially that entire final part after MMA won. I was really happy seeing MMA win.

Also Boxer - MMA interactions before/after their match in Anaheim. Finally, after Boxer beat Rain, that moment was so intense that I actually got nervous for once. It was amazing.

MMA has been trying to learn English a bit, from what he told me.

As for why it's so hard for Koreans to learn english -- I think a lot of it has to do with confidence. I think most Koreans can actually listen pretty well and gain the gist, but they're really scared of speaking it because they think they'll sound bad. I had to push DRG pretty hard to get him to do interviews in English, haha.

Alicia was really fun to hang around with, and watching him interact with fans was pretty fun. Also, MVP was also quite fun in the group setting.

I want to meet Nada but I don't think that will happen because there's already so many Terrans ;_;

Hopefully tomorrow. I planned on asking yesterday but the timing didn't work out at all. Oh well.

What girl? I can't find her by snooping through your blogs. :d

Hi milkies! I have a few to ask actually.

1. Do you personally hang out with the Korean SC2 pro-players when they are here in America? I've seen a few of your tweets that you take them to places (like Dennys), is that your job?
2. Do you ever think Korean in your head?
3. Are you friends with any of the Korean SC2 pro-players? or more like acquaintances?


1) I don't think any of them has made trips to America for leisure yet. If you're talking about the MLGs, it's my job to take care of the Koreans, so it's stuff like taking them out to eat, getting then food/water and taking care of anything else they need, their schedules, and getting them to where they need to be, etc.

2) All the time.

3) Not sure. I guess I'm pretty friendly with MMA now, not sure how it is with other progamers, but I'd like to get to know them better.

Why is Milkis such an amazing drink? Also, I will trade you a bottle of Milkis at MLG Raleigh for the Korean terrans' signatures on my Das Keyboard =)


It's one of my favorite drinks for sure.

Also, I'm really sad that I didn't mention this, but dKo (I believe) gave me a can of Milkis at MLG Anaheim. It was such a pleasant surprise so I was really happy and I carried it around with me the entire event and drank it on the last day. Thanks a lot :D

Who is your favorite Korean SC2 pro, excluding Boxer, and why?

Who is your favorite Foreign SC2 pro, and why?

What are you working on?

Favorite Kpop girl group/member?

Do you think that if Broodwar is to really die out, that Broodwar fans in Korea will move along with their lives, or transition to SC2? The same for many of the pros. Would players like Flash, Jaedong, Stork and Bisu be willing to start at the bottom in a different game, or just move on to college or something else?

Do you like Seinfeld?

Are either MLG or TL paying for your travel to live events?


Korean SC2 Pro: MMA, mostly because his dropship play is insane. Every game I'd have the chance to watch with MMA has been really fun to watch.

Foreign SC2 Pro: I like Naniwa a lot, and I like him a lot more after his most recent interview. I also like Huk because he was such a fun person to hang out with this event. I also like TLO and Thorzain.

Working on: I need to finish up writing code so I don't have to generate summary tables by hand all the time, and doing some preliminary analysis so I'm just generating a million tables.

Favorite kpop girl group/member: None. Not really a huge fan of that entire culture... I like IU though.

Broodwar: I think there will definitely be a huge chunk who chooses to move on. I think some will move on with their favorite players into SC2. I think a lot of progamers will choose to go to the military and then start anew after that.

I don't think any of the top BW players will ever start at the "bottom" of a different game. Give them 3 months and they'll be competing with the top, give them longer and they'll be destroying everyone.

Never watched Seinfeld.

MLG has paid for my accommodation to Anaheim, and will do so for Raleigh too.

I'm trying to learn Korean, before I head over in a few weeks to study there.
Will learning Korean increase my chances of interacting with some pros?
Will I be able to pick up a lot of Korean in the span of 4 months? (enough to converse?)

Also, you're freaking amazing. I love your heart and passion for the community and for SC2. Rock on Milkis... rock on.

up for some games!

They all play on Korean server. And since I don't play enough, I've never asked.

SC2 moments out of game? The emotions that swirled before and after Boxer and MMA's match, and moments after Boxer beating Rain.
In game? Jinro nuking.

I'm sure there's a minimum that you have to drink in order to maintain a baseline awesome. Personally, I can't drink any milk at all, and I think that affects me.

No idea, you can ask Mystlord. Although he's probably lame and the lack of milk can explain that.

More of an economist.

I'm tinkering around with the possibility of Econ graduate school. I don't know how much I want to do it anymore though, so I'm still thinking about it. If that doesnt work out, I plan on just getting a stat masters.

Full time doing Starcraft? It'd have to be more than translating though. My English -> Korean isn't the best, since I lack the vocab when expressing myself in Korean since I don't have the opportunity to use it much. I'm open to the possibility but I think I want to spend a year or two doing what I do now (econ research) and figuring out if this is what I want to do.

Color: I like this shade of Dark blue that comes around at a very specific time at Night. I think it's Midnight Blue but i'm not too sure if there's a color that's closer. If there's just enough lighting the color is really really pretty.

I don't honestly know. Take a good college class, and probably go out of your way to use it everyday. I don't know how well other programs like Rosetta Stones are since I never used them, so you guys are really on your own for that. But I think the key to learning any language is just effort and it takes a tremendous amount of effort to learn a language, and you're only really going to put in the effort if you're motivated -- you'll be motivated if your livelihood depends on it (ie: go to korea and go to a place where you can only speak Korean)

in being so worried about your translating


I try to take translating seriously because I think it only does the progamers justice when they interact with the community or the fans and such. Because they choose their words wisely I think it's bad on the translator if they miss the tone they're trying to hit with it or miss the meaning completely. This is one of the reasons I'm really hard on myself as I'm not really great at doing this live, although I try. It's something I'm working on more and more.

1. Is UChicago as hard as everyone says it is? I got rejected and go to Northwestern (senior).

2. Who's your all-time favorite BW progamer? Current? Why? When did you start following the scene? Start playing BW?

3. What site(s) are best for BW news? I saw that Fomos moved it from their first tab on the home page. Is PlayXP still the only SC2 news? DES has some stuff iirc. Are you old school enough to remember FighterForum? I came back to the scene and was surprised it was gone.

4. From what we know now MBCGame wouldn't go down until 2012. If this were to happen, do you think the viewership would bolster Ongamenet ratings, or are the audiences essentially the same people?

5. September: will BW progamers actually switch (other than B-teamers), or is or is that blind optimism from SC2ers? Do you think the S-Class or A-teamers would demolish the current Code S?

6. What motivated you to branch out from being solely BW into the SC2 scene? I go back and forth depending on my faith in the game's future / comparisons with BW as an esport. How exciting is the game to you? Are you concerned with the fewer differentiators of skill, or is it good that more players can compete equally with one another?

7. If the "perfect" situation for SC2 in Korea were to occur (for maximum growth - on both channels in Starleague/MSL/Proleague, fans enjoying it), would it even matter, considering they are 60th and 70th rated on cable now?

8. Is esports dying in Korea? What is the general consensus among netizens? I can't imagine everyone involved in the industry for over 10 years just giving up. What do you think can be done?

9. Is the move of Proleague finals back to Korea good or bad on the whole? (pleases Korean fans, but denies new Chinese market) Will going for the Chinese market ultimately be worthwhile, or too late?

10. Do you know if OGN/MBC can broadcast SC2 (other than WCG) with GOMTV's permission, before the contract expires? Which commentator is your favorite? How do GOMTV's compare, if you've watched them?

If you answer all of these, you are a god. I'm sure there are some other people interested. Sorry if I repeated any questions.

Haven't had time to check through all of the pages if anyone has asked this question. If yes, my apologies.

Do you believe that foreign commentators should be more excited while commentating? Like when the korean casters go all screamy and everything.

Personally I get really hyped when they get that excited but I never really see the foreign casters do that :/

Favorite Animu/Mango?


I like the Aria series a lot. Although neither is perfect on its own (Anime and Manga), but if you start merging the two you get something really pretty. In terms of world/setting/atmosphere, I think it's easily the best Anime/Manga.

I also like Kino's Journey quite a bit. The episode about books is my favorite. I wrote about this series in my college application essay actually.

I don't think they laugh at them. They look at foreigners favorably if they take down a Korean though.

They love the MLG, and they love the crowds. They said something similar about NASL but they were too busy bashing production quality on the NASL.

If you were stranded on an island with only the clothes on your back and a backpack full of school supplies (textbooks, pencils, erasers, folder, papers, calculators, and the like) and you were being chased through the jungle (still on the island) by a tyrannosaurus rex, how would you escape?

Addendum: no other people or settlements on the island. There's the jungle, mountains, and the beach.

In terms of location: (beach)-----(jungle/you)----(mountains) So you're in the jungle, but equidistant from the mountains and the beach.


Also, Milkis you're awesome because you do what you do for the community with dedication and humility. Truly, you represent some of the best of TL. Rock on. 화이팅~! ㅅ(^ㅁ^)ㅅ

I translated a bit on TL for a while, and then MLG contacted TL I believe to see if any of TL's translators were interested and able to make the trip. I was able to, so I made the trip. Partly hard work and party luck.

Any tips for translating and interpreting (both aspects)? I read that your English > Korean interpreting is not as good, is that the same if you were to translate an article from English > Korean? As an aspiring translator myself, I really admire the work you do. Any advice on the actual translating process would be greatly appreciated!

1. Is UChicago as hard as everyone says it is? I got rejected and go to Northwestern (senior).

2. Who's your all-time favorite BW progamer? Current? Why? When did you start following the scene? Start playing BW?

3. What site(s) are best for BW news? I saw that Fomos moved it from their first tab on the home page. Is PlayXP still the only SC2 news? DES has some stuff iirc. Are you old school enough to remember FighterForum? I came back to the scene and was surprised it was gone.

4. From what we know now MBCGame wouldn't go down until 2012. If this were to happen, do you think the viewership would bolster Ongamenet ratings, or are the audiences essentially the same people?

5. September: will BW progamers actually switch (other than B-teamers), or is or is that blind optimism from SC2ers? Do you think the S-Class or A-teamers would demolish the current Code S?

6. What motivated you to branch out from being solely BW into the SC2 scene? I go back and forth depending on my faith in the game's future / comparisons with BW as an esport. How exciting is the game to you? Are you concerned with the fewer differentiators of skill, or is it good that more players can compete equally with one another?

7. If the "perfect" situation for SC2 in Korea were to occur (for maximum growth - on both channels in Starleague/MSL/Proleague, fans enjoying it), would it even matter, considering they are 60th and 70th rated on cable now?

8. Is esports dying in Korea? What is the general consensus among netizens? I can't imagine everyone involved in the industry for over 10 years just giving up. What do you think can be done?

9. Is the move of Proleague finals back to Korea good or bad on the whole? (pleases Korean fans, but denies new Chinese market) Will going for the Chinese market ultimately be worthwhile, or too late?

10. Do you know if OGN/MBC can broadcast SC2 (other than WCG) with GOMTV's permission, before the contract expires? Which commentator is your favorite? How do GOMTV's compare, if you've watched them?

If you answer all of these, you are a god. I'm sure there are some other people interested. Sorry if I repeated any questions.

Post Script: do you like Pocari Sweat?


1) Dunno, I've only found one class legitimately difficult (that is, no matter how much time I poured in, I couldn't get it down perfect), but then again I can't really say that since I never put in much effort into all of my classes. I also took harder classes than most people who does econ so I'm not too sure I'm a good person to say anything about.

2) Jaedong is my current favorite progamer. His mentality and his attitude to the game, pretty much. I like Flash too because of how he approaches the game. I started following the scene December 2009, although I played BW on and off before then.

3) Fomos and DES are the only two sites that really cover it.

4) Too hard to call.

5) Some might, some won't. A lot of it is blind optimism, but it's mostly selfishness -- if BW players switch to SC2, for the most part, the BW players will be losing out on a stable lifestyle and a well payed salary that is a lot more than what most SC2 teams can really pay them. So I wouldn't even call it optimism but selfishness. When the time comes then many players will switch.

6) I watched TSL, but MLG Columbus is when I started branching out to SC2? I still enjoy watching BW better but every now and then SC2 produces BW level games. Not really concerned with smaller differentials of skill, since people with skill will always find a way to differentiate themselves through one way or another.

7) they're 60th and 70th overall, but PL games and Starleague gets pretty high ratings overall, and they're high up there within their targeted demographics. If marketed decently and if BW swaps to SC2, then SC2 should see a huge boost from being on OGN/MBC Game

8) Everyone always says esports is dying, actually. Since I don't work in the industry, I can't really answer that. But my gut feeling is telling me that something is wrong and people are trying to jump ship.

9) Honestly that entire ordeal felt like a nail in the coffin for BW to me. It really sucks that they put in so much money and so much effort and all this despite the angry fans (who doesn't even pay money, btw) protests and then to have it get shut down by a typhoon. It just feels like something just totally fucked them over.

10) they can broadcast SC2 with Gom's permission but not GSL until a year is over since anibox has exclusive rights to that.

PS: Who doesn't like pocari sweat?

I got involved in MLG due to my involvement in TL. MLG needed a translator back in Columbus, asked TL, and TL admins asked few of the translators and I happened to be able to make it.

In terms of events: I don't know. I'll probably go to the future MLGs and that should keep me busy.

Awkward moment? Probably when MC walked right past me and Alyssa when we were picking him at the airport. You can read about that on my columbus blog :p

Who are the people you think should get more credit?


Regarding the first part: I'm not the one to judge if someone gets more credit than they deserve. After all, it's the opinion of the masses that matter in this case, not my own personal opinion.

Regarding the second part: But because people aren't too aware of some contributors in the scene, there are people who don't get enough. I would say translators like phosgene who has done GSL stuff consistently for a few months definitely deserves more credit, or people like disciple and HawaiianPig who does gfx for everything, or just MLG staff such as Lee and Alyssa and Ryan and the girl who runs the info booths, and so on. There's a ton of people I probably don't know well enough to give them credit either.

No formal learning of Korean. I just read a lot so my reading/listening Korean is good, but my writing/talking could use a bit more work.

I also do use the dictionary when I translate, mostly because there are words I know what they mean but it's quite hard to get the concept quite down when you're trying to bring the same tone into another language.

As for all nighters at Uchicago: Yeah, I remember having quite a number of them. I think overall I averaged two allnighters a week, until my last quarter where I slept a full 10 hours a day and didn't have to do much since i took 3 "normal" classes.

I'm an American Citizen, so no need for goondae.

It's hard to bring the same level of excitement, I think, since a lot of it has to do with language perhaps? It's really hard to really tell. In Korea they have casters and commentators and casters do a good job hyping and bringing in excitement, and commentators who do a good job analyzing the picture. I think the foreign scene definitely needs more commentators, but also at the same time commentators who package things well and don't just say "oh this build vs this build, the game is over" but to analyze the game further than that and talk about possibilities of comebacks and such. I really wish more people could understand Korean to see how the Korean commentators are because I think there's a lot to learn from them.

I don't really dislike SKT, but I like poking fun at SKT because its fans seems to be the most blind. It's like the thrill of poking a wasp nest and then being able to run away without getting stung. It's kind of amusing.

Music genre: Again, no idea what I listen to can be classified.
Band: Loveholic, I suppose. It honestly depends :O

If you were stranded on an island with only the clothes on your back and a backpack full of school supplies (textbooks, pencils, erasers, folder, papers, calculators, and the like) and you were being chased through the jungle (still on the island) by a tyrannosaurus rex, how would you escape?

Addendum: no other people or settlements on the island. There's the jungle, mountains, and the beach.

In terms of location: (beach)-----(jungle/you)----(mountains) So you're in the jungle, but equidistant from the mountains and the beach.


Also, Milkis you're awesome because you do what you do for the community with dedication and humility. Truly, you represent some of the best of TL. Rock on. 화이팅~! ㅅ(^ㅁ^)ㅅ


Instead of trying to escape, I'd just hide away somewhere and catch up on school work which I'm sure I'm behind on. by the time I'm finished I'm sure I'd be rescued or something D:

who are your top 5 Koreans you translated for at past MLG's in order? (that you like)

and maybe why? like a story you can tell or just a general reason for each person.


MMA. Super nice person, and I like his personality a lot, plus I talk to him every now and then too.
MVP. One of the people you can't help but like
DRG. He's really shyish but at the same time he has really good reactions to things.
Alicia. Really fun to have around, and I hung out with him a lot since he was free for most of MLG
July. He is baller. Shame I never actually translated for him on stage.

Apparently if I lose 25 lbs I'll be even cuter!

Is graduate school worth it for economics majors? (I probably don't have the gpa / credentials / money for UofChicago) I'm kind of hating working right now :/


If you have to say "worth it" then graduate school is a huge waste of time. It's a terrible idea to go to Econ Grad School because you hate working =/

Why don't you have a signature?


I never thought I'd be asked for one. I just scribble stuff. Not too sure how valid that is for a signature

Once again, favorite starcraft BW matches from before Flash came into power?


But Flash has always been in power! I mean, he's been the most wanted practice partner since Nada's bonjwa days, since how often do you see a practice partner go head to head with nada on ranking matches? :p

Any tips for translating and interpreting (both aspects)? I read that your English > Korean interpreting is not as good, is that the same if you were to translate an article from English > Korean? As an aspiring translator myself, I really admire the work you do. Any advice on the actual translating process would be greatly appreciated!


My English -> Korean is mostly "bad" because I lack the vocabulary and thus the way I express things are a little odd (and I'm not used to it). It's been improving though. My English -> Korean is getting better translating, I'm hoping that will help me when I interpret.

I've been translating Korean -> English for so long that I'm pretty used to most of the vocabulary so I know how to translate them pretty well, or at least, that's what I like to think so (all those hours spent translating somehow matters!). I think it's mostly me knowing how to translate certain phrases really well since I've done it so many times that I can do it decently on the spot without having to summarize.

I was born in Korea, so assuming Korean. I left Korea when I was 2 though.

Whoa, I cannot believe you started following it in 2009!! :o

It feels like you've been part of the scene forever ._.

Also makes me feel sad because I started following it in 2009 as well, and look where it has gotten me (i.e. I haven't contributed anything, not "WTF why am I not cool and famous too").


Never too late

Which pizza joint you recommend near UofC? Are you a fan of pizza with fork and knife?


Pizza in Hyde Park? I think most people just get Edwardos if you're going for deep dish. Medici isn't bad either for deep dish. For non deep dish I like Pizza capri.

What is your favorite food (overall)?

If you've ever eaten at In-n-Out Burger, what's your opinion of it?


Favorite food? I guess... Japanese Curry. One food I'm afraid of making cause it's super addicting.

I've had In-n-Out. I like it a lot, would probably have it more if there was one in Chicago, but I guess I'm happy it's only in West coast because it adds to the charm when I do get to visit there.

What is the GSL viewership like? How many views does an average Code A game get? Code S? Nestea? etc. Thank you.


Live viewers? Not that many until the RO8 is what I've heard from the players. Actual overall viewerships? No idea, I don't work for GOM. They did release how many total views they've gotten over the year, it was something like 50 million

What are your go to Korean sites for news and updates? Do you ever browse through players' twitter networks, navers, etc. to see what they are saying to each other and stalk them? :p

Also: I'm a huge fan. You obviously aren't a professional translator, but the insight you offer into the Korean players' mindsets and hearts is something that has been sorely missing and is much appreciated. Keep working on the dream.
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?

Why are you so hard on yourself?

I love you and you are a great asset to ESPORTS but you allways seem to be negative for example no im not really that good sorry i dont want to ruin your x etc .

I read your blogs " you mentioned someone wanted your autograph" but you went noo sorry i dont wanna sign to ruin the rest autographs you have gotten im not pro or anything

Seeing you pushing yourself makes me sad

But i guess its to make you stronger?
