The third best friends note is with Jaedong and Lomo from Hwaseung OZ. These two are probably the best friends in e-sports. They even went on a vacation together.
Because of the Daily e-Sports "ABC Talk" there has been a bad rumor about them going around. Some people mistook the statement "They keep each others' pictures next to them on their bed as they sleep" referred to Lomo and Jaedong. They had to state in another interview that it wasn't them.
This best friends note started because of that. We wanted to stop the misunderstanding that we started. However, because the news that we were going to have a best friends note with Jaedong and Lomo was released during their vacation to Canada, it created even more rumors.
That's why we put "No matter what you think of, it will be something worse" on the preview. The two players didn't comfort or cover each other. We thought about not releasing this interview because of the trash talk between each other.
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that they are best friends. It's not what people have imagined it to be like, but they definitely care for each other.
When we arrived at the coffee shop, Lomo told me that I should do something else for a minute. The reason was that Jaedong takes very long time choosing what to get every time he goes to a coffee shop or a restaurant. After a long time, Jaedong decided on what to get.
◆How did we become friends? DES= It's nice to meet you two in a best friends note interview.
Jaedong= I read UpMaGiC and Leta's (Link), but I never thought Lomo and I would be doing it. Lomo= I knew this would happen (laughs). I thought we would be doing an interview together (laughs).
DES= How did you two become friends?
Jaedomg= How we became friends..? Lomo= I don't think there was a specific event.
(Thinks for a while)
Jaedong= Hmm... We thought alike. For example, after eating dinner in a restaurant, some people eat candies and some people drink coffee. Back then, only Lomo and I drank coffee after dinner. We were about the same age and we thought alike too.
Lomo= We also had similar sense of humor. Whenever I made a joke, nobody laughed except Jaedong. The other teammates would say "How is that funny?" while we laughed.
Jaedong= We both like making up new words. I can't think of one right now, but if I make a word to fit the situation, only Lomo laughs (laughs).
Lomo= I didn't know having similar sense of humor could help making friends (laughs).
Jaedong= You mean we became friends because of something silly like that?
Lomo= I want to give a better reason.. but I can't think of any.
Jaedong= We can't make up something, that would be a lie. I really don't think there was any specific reason why we became friends. I think we'll just have to wrap this up!
Lomo= I still think something is missing...
◆Dirty Lomo, Clean Jaedong? DES= Since it feels like the whole day would go by trying to figure out how you two became friends, why don't you tell me about your personalities?
Jaedong= Most people think Lomo is sensitive, but he's actually very dirty. I'm more sensitive than he is. Everywhere Lomo passes by, there are cups and dirty clothes.
Lomo= If you say it like that my image looks bad! Besides, it's not like you're clean.
Jaedong= What. At least I don't leave my room dirty.
Lomo= But you just take everything dirty and put it in another room..
Jaedong= ...
Lomo= So it's not really "cleaning" (laughs). He doesn't like it when things are messy, but he doesn't clean it up. He just moves everything dirty to another room. It's not like I'm dirty and Jaedong is clean.
Jaedong= Trying to make me look bad to save yourself.. I'm not that clean but I don't like it when things are dirty. It also makes me feel dirty. That's why I feel dirty whenever I look at Lomo. I yelled at him a couple of times, but he never cleans up.
Lomo= We are complete opposites when it comes to this. I don't know how we became friends.
Jaedong= Anyway, I hope Lomo cleans up after himself. There's nothing bad about being clean.
◆Friendship Tested DES= I'm sure you have something you don't like about each other even though you two are such great friends.
Jaedong= Of course. Lomo uses my makeup and doesn't close the lid. I hate it when people use my stuff and don't put them back where they belong. Some products go bad easily when you leave it open but he keeps doing it no matter how many times I tell him.
Lomo= I try to fix it but I can't (laughs). Men often forget to close the lid.
Jaedong= Men....
Lomo= You're a man too!
Jaedong= At least I know to put things back where they are supposed to be.
Lomo= I'm revealing this for the first time here, but Jaedong has a hobby of collecting makeups. If you look in his closet, there are a lot of makeups. I sometimes use them.
DES= Jaedong, is this true?
Jaedong= It's true. For some reason, I don't like using one product for a long time. I keep wanting to change to something new (laughs). Thats why I buy makeups whenever I hear that one is good. Fans give me a lot too. I think Lomo is just jealous that he doesn't have them.
Lomo= There's so many yet he notices when even a small one is missing. He yells at me whenever I misplace something (laughs).
Jaedong= Lomo always finds the ones that I hide for safekeeping and uses it before I do. And then he doesn't even put it back. Is it that hard to put things back where you got them from?
Lomo= Fine. I'll put them back from now on, okay?
◆What's yours is mine! DES= Does Lomo take anything besides makeups? Jaedong= Don't even start. He takes clothes, wax, hair spray, and anything else I have. He uses my things as if they were his. He doesn't even ask if he can use them.
Lomo= It's normal to share things when we live together.
Jaedong= It's still too much. You just take them without asking!
Lomo= You take my stuff too!
Jaedong= But you take way more than I do. It's that you don't buy that many things so I can't take them.
Lomo= I found my cologne open just the other day.. I think it was Jaedong's way of taking revenge.
Jaedong= Yeah that was me (laughs).
Lomo= It didn't really make me angry though (laughs).
Jaedong= Since Lomo uses so many of my things, I'm not going to hesitate from using his things either from now on. What's his is mine now. Mine? Of course they're still mine (laughs).
Lomo= That's so unfair!

Wait, waaahhhh? They use makeup? ~_O I had stopped reading when I read that and bursted out a huge "wwaaaahhhh?" Other than that it was a great interview.

Everybody on TV wears makeup. I saw Conan Obrien up close after a show while he still had his make up on... it was like he was wearing a mask. it just looked like a good millimeter of foundation covering his entire face. hilarious interview btw

The first picture is hilarious. Rather than homo for lomo, it seems that it's the other way around.
whooaaa didnt know know JD had a make up collection =P AND THEY WENT TO CANADA FOR VACATION? WHERE AND WHEN lol great interview! looking forward to part 2
i think you some of you are misinterpreting "make up" into female eye liner, mascara context... by make up he means skin moisturizers and so on.... like what men put on to look after their skin
but yeah i must say that interview was quite awkward....
Haha nice :D Btw in asian culture even if you do this kind of stuff you don't considered to be gay...Friends are just closer thats all. I would never touch any of my best firend's bodyparts excluding his hands when i shake it..Different cultures thats all. GO JD & LOMO

They were in British Columbia, not sure what part of it though.
Wait wait so the Korean community also thinks they're gay or at least jokes about it?
The "dirty" comments were weird. Does "dirty" also mean perverted for Koreans? I know in this case they just mean Lomo is messy but I only think of the perverted meaning when someone is described as "dirty."
This interview was more disturbing than funny, which I guess is funny in itself.
Jaedong= Since Lomo uses so many of my things, I'm not going to hesitate from using his things either from now on. What's his is mine now. Mine? Of course they're still mine (laughs).

i just don't know what to say about this interview. thanks foo the translation but really jaedong....really? i just don't get the entire dirty and makeup things at all. ohh well maybe some one from korea can straighten this all out for me so that way it is not as confusing

I know its a different culture, and that since they appear on TV etc a lot but they seriously sound like a married couple bickering during the makeup part... rofl
Gaydong and Homo sitting in a tree O-W-N-I-N-G (noobs).
On a more seriuos note (not really). So many gay jokes could be made about the statements in this interveiw. Jaedong complains that Lomo doesn't put the lid back on his makeup and that he doesnt clean up after himself. LOL just like a married couple.
In all honesty I wouldn't mind it if they really were gay. That'd be kinda cool for such a star to admit his sexuality. But I guess even if they were they wouldn't tell since their fanbase consists heavily of fangirls.

I don't know, all the women who love gay men would suddenly like them twice as much. Who do you think made Brokeback Mountain such a commercial success? Probably like 90% women.
Lomo= I try to fix it but I can't (laughs). Men often forget to close the lid.
Jaedong= Men....
Lomo= You're a man too!
Hilarious interview. If they were trying to dispel rumors that they're gay it definitely didn't work.

I dunno about that. Grown women might think like that but do you really think adolescent girls who's only motivation for coming to these events are because they have a crush on Jaedong would agree? Now I'm not claiming I know how big that number of viewership is but it has do be a significant bunch.
Jaedong= Lomo always finds the ones that I hide for safekeeping and uses it before I do. And then he doesn't even put it back. Is it that hard to put things back where you got them from?
Jaedong= Fine. I'll put them back from now on, okay?
the homo for lomo thing is funny, but i honestly see them more as best friends.
its much more acceptable for guys to be closer in Korea than some other countries (US for example) you do need to have some kind of make-up for TV, its not like JD is collecting eye-liner and they live together, along with the rest of OZ...so its not surprising that if they are already best friends that they are so close and can joke around like that.
On September 28 2009 04:35 heyoka wrote: If they're so close how come JD is so good at Lomo is so mediocre
At least fOrGG won a starleague when the two of them were buddies
There is a difference between teammates and buddies as pretty much is said in this interview, Jaedong and Lomo are a lot closer than Jaedong and other OZ members (expect for maybe in the shower).
ForGG also fell down some stairs and was sent to the hospital when he was on the same team. After beating Jaedong to win a starleague. Coincidence? Probably but yeah not everybody is a buddy. Friendship doesn't need to be based on skill, though really Lomo is one of the best players in OZ, even if he is perceived as mediocre.
Jaedong= Lomo always finds the ones that I hide for safekeeping and uses it before I do. And then he doesn't even put it back. Is it that hard to put things back where you got them from? Jaedong= Fine. I'll put them back from now on, okay?
Haha, wellllll... this part does nothing to dispel the rumors, really! It is, however, absolutely hilarious. Thanks for the translation, and looking forward to part 2!
fantastic interview, loved reading the whole thing.
"That's why I feel dirty whenever I look at Lomo." -had me rolling.
for all you kiddies that don't understand what a great friendship is, sucks for you. it's guys that DON'T have other guy friends that are gay, you know, the ones that only make friends with girls? quit being stupid.
I think like most people, this interview has the opposite of the intended effect, even ignoring with the double entrdres embedded in it, it okay JD and Lomo, being called gay isn't a smear.
(Insert injoke about there being no gays in Korea ever since jae boom, followed by laughter at NeverGG's lament)
Can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight How it's laid to rest It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best
Jaedong= Lomo always finds the ones that I hide for safekeeping and uses it before I do. And then he doesn't even put it back. Is it that hard to put things back where you got them from? Jaedong= Fine. I'll put them back from now on, okay?

You got this wrong. Fangirls will love them more. Fangirls will be heartbroken if they had a girlfriend, not a boyfriend lol
People keep talking about Asian culture here. Well, culture things can be either traditional or fashionable. One popular subculture in recent decade in Asia is Yaoi (Boys' Love, tanbi, slash, whatever you want to call it). It's totally female oriented and it's huge especially in East Asia (starting from Japan, spreading into China and Korea). Originally it's anime/manga based (Donjinshi). But now it goes to almost every field, movie, tv drama, sports, etc.. There are entertainment agent companies bringing cute boys together on purpose to attract the female market. (Though they never admit they are gays) If you take a look at Asian pop boy groups in recent 10 years, you will get what I talk about. It's not just for fun, it's business.

Are you kidding? Fangirls are all about that or the Jonas Brothers wouldn't have their own section on slash erotica sites.

Actress Lee Yeon Hee messaged you words of encouragement~ - She’s an actress I’ve always liked, and my coach as a present got me a video message from her. She left me a short message saying that I should definitely win this star league. After I saw that message the thought that I must win filled my head. I’ve never actually met her or talked to her on the phone.
There is no way that this is a normal Bestfriend relationship..the interview speaks for itself and how the way Lomo/Homo look at Jaedong in every picture is not the way how we would look at our friends..this is a disturbing interview..
Whereas I would normally be the first to make a meaningless joke about homosexuality... I think by "makeup" they are mistranslating male grooming products like hair gel, etc.
That and they are a little too young to really know their sexuality clearly.
No, progamers use makeup. This has been known for a looooooooong while. And they're both goddamned 19 years old. They're more than old enough to know their sexuality by now.

Oh come on. The photographs are misleading. You think that Lomo stared at Jaedong like that the entire interview? The photographer took pictures of Lomo when he was looking at Jaedong. There were probably dozens more pictures taken of just Lomo and Jaedong doing nothing.
How is this not a normal best friend relationship? Have you ever had a best friend? It's a "best" friend for a reason, the guy is your closest buddy.
