Well if you are, I think Stork should lose the glasses or the hair, or both. The combination of the two gives off such a studious boy-next-door (like Emlary likes to say) image, and if he's gonna go for sexy, that's gotta go!
I stopped watching progaming for a couple of months, then I decided to watch the WCG finals. When Stork's face came out I couldn't recognize him at first. I was like "dang... that's really him? Where'd all the face fat go". I thought from the facial shot he just got skinny but now I see he got toned. Nice...

Seriously, many Chinese fans are arguing if he did a plastic surgery on his chin ;o
When I first saw him this season, I thought he just starved himself to the point where I actually thought he'd actually fall out of his chair during a Starcraft game. Then, I was kind of horrified, but now I'm actually quite impressed at his dedication to lose the fat and bulk up.
Holy shit! Screw the 2nd coming of the Kong Line. Is Stork the new Mantoss?
I thought that Stork was just skin and bones, a stereotypical image of a gamer. Toss that out of the window, he is ripped, especially by the pro-gamer standard!
Starcraft fans, not limited to just women, are gonna have wet dreams if he change his hair style and do a laser eye surgery.
Stork's following is gonna double now...Mantoss fans just found their savior.

No, he has a cute boyish charm that bisu doesn't have. Stork has this really cute/playful aura that Bisu lacks. Bisu is like Megan Fox, he's hot as shit but kinda plastic.

Cute, Playful and Boyish charm =/= Hotness
6 Pack = HOTNESS
he makes me feel hotter than bisu, that's for certain
I work with the photographer for this - Mr. Kang and I just told him how crazy all of you are going for the photos. He was loling so much I think he's happy, but self-conscious about the reaction of the foreign fans.

Well, its ok, cause making exercise creates an overall "happiness" sensation that affect positively in all aspect of life (job, relationships, ect..)
Stork arrives in very good shape and ready to rock the "Dark Age of the Swarm"
is everyone here gay? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but this behavior is kind of weird. I just giggled imagining how people from the outside would LOL at these kinds of threads.
Seriously, why does a half naked pic of Stork warrant it's own thread? This is just weird

Wtf, how does he have the time for all this shit. He is living the ultimate nerd dream. He plays video games for a living and fame, he has a girlfriend, and he's jacked. All this while wasting time on WoW(maybe he quit?). I am fucking jealous. Does he go to school at all? If he does, I'll bet someone he's a honor roll.
Seriously, he is just skinny. The fat loss is really nice and he deserves respect for that. But thats not a great body, thats just a photoshot with some dumbbells and great lightening.
The pictures are great, but the model (Stork) is really not impressive.

Compared to what he looked like before, it is very impressive. And compared to what he looked like when he first joined Khan (way, way fatter and with severe acne), it is a fucking miracle.

I was just gonna mention this, not to take anything away from his achievements, they are very impressive indeed but he's just skinny. I wonder what the people who call Stork "so fucking buff!!" would say if they saw Inc :S If you take away the fat from pretty much any guy (except extremely bad cases) this is what you would look like. It comes off as rather corny when they add the weights and lighting to make it seem like he's actually ripped. And i know that Asia and the west have different ideals when it comes to the body, i know skinny/girlish frame is preferred in Asia.
Just compare his head to the rest of his body, he looks almost like a child
Props to Stork though! I don't want to shit on his achievements because i'm just as impressed as the rest of you, but buff? no way.

Nah, it's just this whole "look how edgy i am, i'm calling this guy hot and i'm not even embarrassed!" i joke like that too sometimes, nothing serious. Nobody would actually say that he's hot in a serious manner. He looks like an average guy and everyone knows it
kkk one of the Korean comments on Fomos says "Here's Homos"
Stork was shocked into exercising more when Hwasin totally outmanned him while filming the Bacchus OSL 2009 opening video (the underwater video)...I remember a brief footage where Stork was shy to show his torso...
OMG, Stork, you gain many levels and evolved to a completely new pokemo man!!!! SOOOOO MANLY!!!!! I think on this very day, at least 70% of TLers have filed for their change of sexual orientation for you. Just wow...
I'm gonna sound like the biggest douche here (and I'm sorry if my post is perceived that way), but he IS just skinny. His abs are very visible, thanks to virtually no subcutaneous fat, but actual muscle mass? There's hardly any - and I'm not saying that cause I'm buff or anything. Hell, I'm a long jumper (don't hardly ever exercise my upper body for volume to avoid extra weight), but even I've got far more upper body muscle mass than that.
If he's ripped? Sure. And the black and white photos bring that out even more, but again, that's a result of no subcutaneous fat covering the muscle contures up, rather than there actually being any substantial muscle mass beneath.
Sorry Stork =/ I still love you as a player though.

Yeah, gotta agree.
Stork's discipline from training 10 hours a day transferred over to his diet and this is the result. That's not muscle mass, just a very low body fat percentage. Not particularly impressive if you've ever attempted something like this yourself. You can see his specialize diet in the WCG Stork / Bisu video. Not sure if he can maintain this, but I wish him the best.

You can actually see his six pack and all. What are you comparing him to? Bruce Lee? Cause Bruce Lee is an outlier. Stork can kick your ass ten times out of ten.

What the fuck, is this whole thread a joke?
I assumed everyone's just playing along with the whole homoness but this is getting out of hand
I don't know how old Stork is but he has the body of any random 14 year old who plays sports just once a week. I realize this is a video game forum but COME ON. Anyone can get semi-visible 6pack abs at 110 pounds by just doing 10 crunches every 6 months.
http://www.fomos.kr/gnuboard4/bbs/board.php?bo_table=kangfree&page=9&page=2 For comparison, while Stork was working out, Bisu decided to 1. Do his hair 2. Admire himself in the mirror 3. Eat while talking on his phone 4. Sign autographs on shirts 5. Pose for the camera... with a scarf. Stork posed for the camera with no shirt

ok, he doesn't have too much of a 6 pack, but i'm very curious to this 14 year old who plays sports just once a week who is as buff as stork, show me plz?
i have friends who swim 5 times a week for three hours, average weight for their heigh, and looks flimsy as hell, but they're pretty fast swimmers.

I probably have more muscles than stork because I play water polo and do swimming for 3 hours a day, 5 times a week, for about 30 weeks a year, but I have barely enough fat to cover it all.

It used to be Stork, but that's another story when he goes shirtless nowadays. Bisu is the pretty boy, good enough to be a Korean movie star. Flash is damn right badass mofo looking with his new KT jacket. Stork is the 2nd coming of Mantoss. Jaedong doesn't have too much going for him...other than the death stare.
Also, I like how most of the manly/handsome progamers are Protoss.

Now the instant rebuke, why do you have pictures of 14 year old girls and boys?
i think jaedong looks pure badass, you see energy and coolness in his face. flash with his kinda flat face rox too, bisu is ok, seriously stork...
he sill has his shit hair, his glasses and keeps the moth open the whole time... i mean,... if he would look like on this black and white picture... i ld go with him for sure xD
but i think hes still a bit i dont know... jaedong' s cooler.

Are you kidding me? I'm comparing him to myself and every guy of my age that actually exercises semi-regularly. The guy is super skinny and hardly has any muscle mass at all. I'm not a fighter, but I'm 240 pounds, 6,3 ft tall and work out 6 days a week, 15 hours a week. I'm fairly certain I'd manage.
Besides, that's not the point I was trying to make. You clearly don't exercise yourself if you think Stork's well trained. Ripped = no subcutaneous fat that covers the contures of your muscles. I train a group of 14 year olds twice a week, and basically everyone of them (who isn't chubby) have visible abs. Doesn't take a genius here..
Edit: Why are you jumping me to begin with? If there's really that big a problem, you could have just PMed me
Seeing Mr.Kang's photos fills me with mixed emotions. He's the one who recruited me for fomos, but I feel as though as a photographer I am a disappointment to him. Even his most modest photos make me feel inspired, but also talentless. It's hard to know what to think when he does sets as gorgeous as these. It makes me all the more aware of the glass ceiling I've reached when it comes to eSports photography. Sorry for the lack of funnies, but recently this is how I feel - it's part of the reason I've stopped going to so many events for the last month. I've lost my confidence when faced with his inability to take a bad photo. Must work harder! Also seeing the massive amount of comments only one of his sets gets compared to my 40-80 photo sets dampens my resolve even more.

Don't worry, NeverGG. Your photos are absolutely fabulous.
It's just that the source material of this set of photo is too good.
If you manage to shoot Reach on Beach, I am sure that thread would explode as well.
A lot of posts are actually debating whether Stork is hot or not, rather than complimenting the photos anyway.
looks impressive that he went from a chubby guy to that... not denying that his body looks great now, but wtf is up with all the "I'M HORNY/HOT/HARD" people?
i never knew TL.net got that many teenage cheerleaders or homos.
NeverGG, ur pic has always been awesome and i'm sure everyone here appreciate them very much, the reason this thread gets so much attention because of the theme of the photoshoot, don look too much into it...

I can't really say what's wrong with TL, maybe it's that weirdo new member, Ling?? But you're clearly confused because you think that buff/muscular == sexy. Definitely, not all girls (or straight guys apparently) think that. In fact, skinny nerds are SUPER sexy! Especially skinny nerds with a little bit of muscle-- much more comfortable up close than the bony ones. I'd be pretty scared to cuddle up to someone inControl-sized, if he sneezed I'd probably get some ribs broken XD I assume most of the people above are exaggerating wildly, but personally I think Stork is hot, and what do I care if he can bench press my entire weight? I think he should get contacts next^^

yeah, i only work out like 3 times a week for hour and a half, and im about as "ripped" as him.

How in the fuck did you come up with that connection? Read what I said, I clearly said that HE, being stork, looks like a nerd. You know, white, skinny, dorky glasses, pretty unappealing face, these physical attributes are generally collectively common with 'nerds'.
I said nothing about nerds not being able to be sexy. Tasteless is a great example of that

I train a group of 14 year olds twice a week, and basically everyone of them (who isn't chubby) have visible abs. Doesn't take a genius here..
Edit: Why are you jumping me to begin with? If there's really that big a problem, you could have just PMed me
I just calculated your BMI, and its 30.1, which is obese. So unless you are ripped like bruce lee, or you're just really fat. To prove that you're not fat, post your picture here, I really do want to see if you are fat or just muscular. Looking at how you're not a fighter, I would assume that you are just fat, but I could be wrong.
ok, he doesn't have too much of a 6 pack, but i'm very curious to this 14 year old who plays sports just once a week who is as buff as stork, show me plz?

You can actually see his six pack and all. What are you comparing him to? Bruce Lee? Cause Bruce Lee is an outlier. Stork can kick your ass ten times out of ten.
Are you kidding me? I'm comparing him to myself and every guy of my age that actually exercises semi-regularly. The guy is super skinny and hardly has any muscle mass at all.

There you go jumping me again. I explained this to you in a PM, but you decided to post here anyway, so here we go again...:
I'm 194 centimeters tall. Weighing 89 kilograms. That's (per BMI formula) = Body mass divided by height in meters times two = 89/(1,94*1,94 =3,7636)=23,64757 etc... = 23,65
By BMI charts that puts me smack in the middle of "normally built" (which is between 20,5 and 24,5 for adult men). I'm a physiotherapist. I work with this shit every day. Either my attempt at translating meters into feet and kilos into pounds failed or your calculations did.
I don't have a bunch of semi-nude photos of myself, but I'm actually gonna find one since you annoy me just that much. In black and white even. Be right back.

194 cm =~ 6'3" 89 kg =~ 196 lb
Well, there we go. I was just trying to lend a hand by translating that into feet/pounds. Google translating tools fail again But yeah, that looks about right. Thanks, thanks!
How in the fuck did you come up with that connection? Read what I said, I clearly said that HE, being stork, looks like a nerd. You know, white, skinny, dorky glasses, pretty unappealing face, these physical attributes are generally collectively common with 'nerds'.
I said nothing about nerds not being able to be sexy. Tasteless is a great example of that
oh, i just have a very vivid imagination i'm afraid. i read that you think stork still looks like a nerd - and i don't think anyone would disagree, however, IMHO, looking like a nerd is not "typically white, skinny, dorky glasses, pretty unappealing face". still looking like a nerd does not explain why you can't see any sexiness in him, either.
i think looking like a nerd is looking humble, confident, well prepared and intelligent. something like ordinary, but special. nerds are sexy. it's got something to do with that little smile that says i don't really take myself that seriously, i prefer to enjoy life. a lot of korean sc pros has this appeal.
unless you were refering to any of all the special types of nerds out there, that is. for example, people who play to much magic: the gathering are typically disgusting, ^^

I decided to put some of the netizen's comments into google language tools and I got this:
Introduction to Gay, thanks to stork;;; The drip from the start of the day gay .... What's wrong with this guy ... DoctorHelvetica Tsu .. Three .... This self-censorship for minors gallery ... There's so many gay baengppaneun
These were the only one understandable after putting it into google language tools. They do think we are gay, especially you doctor!
- Lol, to even translate that and upload it... - And we start our day with a gay trip. - Become gay because of Stork;; - Foreign fans are even worse... - Yepp, they're even worse. - They say 'yum yum' ;; Foreign fans are even scarier...
At first I was like "omg.. why am I reading this thread!?" but then I found the part about some guy on fomos translating this thread and I lol'd. Good work on coming to terms with your sexuality, DoctorHelvetica. LOL.
- hm... we should control ourselves for the underaged internet users... - hahahahahahaha, sexy dynamite! - oh kekekekekekek these teamliquid gay bastards kekekekeke if you go to teamliquid, they really love Stork - oh my god... threesome?? - are they saying that he got this way eating his reaver supply and improving his speed? kekekeke my sympathies - so.. many... gays...
And to add to this thread with something other than translations, I was also surprised to see Stork on TV about a week ago. Did I miss something, or did he lose the weight pretty fast? O.o Anyone have a time estimation?
Btw, I don't necessarily think he had plastic surgery on his chin. I'velost a good amount of weight myself after being overweight for most of HS (about 30 lbs), and my face shape completely changed, from round to a rather sharp chin. Weight loss can really change your face. O.o
(I must add that when I saw him said week ago, all I said was, "WOW I DIDN'T KNOW STORK WAS SO HANDSOME!" I really think that if, like the OP requested, he lost the glasses and got a better cut, he could be smokin'. Just goes to show that anyone can make something of themselves if they work at it, which I personally find very motivational).

Give this man a star, hahaha. Korean netizens are so funny (and a little bit homophobic :O).
Honestly not impressive at all lol. Not to sound like a dick but he literally has no muscle mass. He just has no body fat. He looks like 130-140lbs, i wouldn't call that buff =/

He mentioned once in an interview (don't really remember which one) he saw himself on a music video that Khan boys showed up for a Kpop female singer. He realized how plump he was and determinted to start working out. That was early Oct. When lots of fans saw him at WCG finals in mid Nov, he had lost much weight and looked totally changed.

wat is his height? i dontt hink hes very tall, so he definitely should be able to get in a lot mroe mass than THAT.
ppl like kal have a harder time bulking, but stork definitely should not be fooled into staying at that body figure.
ginntronic is great tho......... 6 foot 3 196 is really naisu naisu.
-.- Don't forget the guy is a pro-gamer, not a body builder. He's in great shape, thats the point.
I'd also go as far as to say that the average person in the US has a pretty skewed view of what a "healthy" weight is... there is no reason to just carry around a bunch of extra "mass" to be "healthy". Especially for most small framed Koreans.

Wow, thanks a lot for the answer. :-)
So, he lost a lot of noticeable weight in 6 or 7 weeks? That sounds like he worked really hard at it. I just hope for him that yo-yo effect doesn't strike once he stops working out quite so much. Nutritionists usually recommend not to lose more than 1 or 1.5 lbs
Not only is Stork the manliest SC player since the holy birth of the Mantoss, he would also make a perfect girl.
See MDT's female progamer thread.
Stork will always have a second best spot in our hearts. He will always be our second favorite player, second manliest player, second most famous silver surfer etc etc etc.

How is that a contradiction?
Reach is manlier than Stork. There is no question about it.
Is this shit a fucking joke.. the kid weighs 155 MAX. The "heavy weight" that hes not even curling with good form is a 20 lb weight, something I see moms do at the gym occasionally.
And a man, good looking? I'm not gay but I can tell when someone is a man or not and he isn't. You kids are filth on societies ass.

yes, I like caps.

no person has been able to see reach's body and live to tell the tale. If one sees his body, they will turn 120 years older automatically. That's what actually happened to Moses, the bible just doesn't tell you so.
You stumble upon the most curious things here on TL. Just got cross-linked from the NaDa thread. Gotta say, my respect to stork for keeping in shape. He must have been pretty disciplined about his workout and diet to get to this. Would be interesting to know if he kept working out to 2011 and if he started gaining weight from muscles. + Show Spoiler +
I didn't get the whole gay/not gay discussion from the start. My response is clearly out of respect to somebody who is as thorough with his body as with his work. Well done Mr. Song Byung Goo.

He's not quite as toned as he was back in 2009 anymore, and he gained some of his weight back (don't think it's muscles though lol), but he's still in better shape than he was before his diet.
Yeah! Looks like he kinda slacked on his diet. The muscles still seem OK. Oh well, he has to divert time between practice, workout etc. Can't be a total ace in everything.
I can't imagine the Koreans don't have similar threads somewhere. I mean, after all, fanboys/girls are everywhere. We all got the same material, and I really can't think the difference in behavior would be so different. On another note I would guess, that we just don't see it happen in Korea, because 99% of us can't read Korean and won't be able to prove it.
