Rek, what year was this in?

And have you endeavored to learn KR since then?

No, but he does teach English to Koreans so they can communicate.

Grrrr explained to me "In Korean culture if Koreans show resistence and you don't back down they will always eventually give you the respect you deserve."


I've heard you say that maybe 3 times now. Is this where you first learned it?

Hearing Grrrr talk in korean is what convinced me that he could succeed doing whatever the fuck he wanted... Not starcraft, hearing him talk in Korean in interviews or bnet attack.

There's very few people I've ever seen or met [ including second generation koreans ] who can just ' learn ' the correct pronunciations and nuances of Korean from studying it. Even if he's lived there all this time its just amazing to me. His English is great, and his korean is great too.

good read.


i've always wondered what Grrr is up to now, years after his starcraft career. is he still living in korea? still playing poker? perhaps even a bit of starcraft 2?

it would be awesome to hear what all of these old school guys are doing now.


I started thinking about this aswell. What happened to this guy? Did i go up in smoke? He sounds like a legend or something.
