Hwaseung's Jaedong requested help so that he can clear out HiyA's hoax(?).
Recently, Jaedong had to suffer through the terrible reputation of being a cheapskate. In an interview before the Hana Daetoo Securities MSL finals, HiyA said in an interview that "If I help Jaedong in practice, then he needs to repay me in some way but he doesn't even buy me tasty food. There's an idiom that says "the rich people are the scariest" (T/N: as in, you should be surprised by how cheap they are), and it was made for Jaedong", and confessed that Jaedong was a cheapskate.
But Jaedong explained that HiyA's interview was different from reality. He explained that he is the player most known in his dorm for buying the most midnight snacks for everyone, so it's completely unfair that there is such misunderstanding. Jaedong was worried that his fans would think that he is a cheapskate due to HiyA's interview.
Jaedong has produced two witnesses who testified that he was not a cheapskate. First, he had the dormitory cook testify how much midnight snacks he buys. She said that the story was different from what HiyA has told and said "I don't think I've ever seen anyone other than Jaedong buy them".
The other witness was the owner of the chicken restaurant nearby Hwaseung dormitory. The owner is also a fan of Jaedong, and is passionate enough to deliver the chicken himself when Hwaseung makes an order. The owner testified that "Whenever Jaedong buys, I purposely give him a discount. he buys chicken once ever two weeks so I'm happy that I get to see him often".
Jaedong, who proved that the truth was different from what HiyA revealed in his interview, said that "I'm happy because it was revealed that I was not a cheapskate", and said "I will specially buy HiyA something really tasty" while laughing.

Rofl, Hiya is hilarious. That guy should get his own show. Props on the translation.
PS: Pretty cute picture of Jaedong.

<3
I'm sure he's a pretty good captain too.
|
lol this is definitely breaking news! 
|
Now I know how to get chicken in the Oz house.
1. Call up a reporter.
2. Say "Jaedong is a cheapskate, he never buys me chicken Q.Q"
3. ...
4. PROFIT!
|
Agree with:
"HiyA's plan has succeeded looooooool. Jaedong don't buy Magikarp tasty stuff"
Thanks for the translation!
|
This interview was just so cute.
Let this be a lesson to all you people who accuse others of being cheapskates.

"So hungry. Man, I wish I had some food right now. *idea* Hey, I know..."
|
Ah, if there is no this interview, I would forget about Hiya interview talking about this...
I didn't know this is so serious. I thought it is minor thing. From 1 glace @ the Hiya interview I can tell he is joking and didnt put this at heart.
|
Wow, that hiya guy is jealous... hating much? Jaedong, I am not disappoint :D
|
This is just about the stupidest thing anyone could discuss. He seriously had the cook testify? LOL
|
|
|
|
|
Haha! Nice reaction from Jaedong! That really makes him seem more human to me.
|
"HiyA's plan has succeeded looooooool. Jaedong don't buy Magikarp tasty stuff"
LOL
|
I'm not suprised Hiya is complaining that he doesn't get enough food. He always has his mouth wide open.
|
Hiya so sneaky. Trying to get more free food.
|
I love that hes gathered witnesses to prove he's not a cheapskate. Is this a case where the :3 smiley is appropriate?
|
LOL, this is so ridiculous and cute. Love it ^^
|
lol Jaedong, awesome.
I'm convinced!
|
That Jaedong pic is really cute :D
"HiyA's plan has succeeded looooooool. Jaedong don't buy Magikarp tasty stuff"
This person is smart.

Two of my favorite players.

Lol Dude Jaedong is so bad ass. In that booth he looks like a freaking monster with his angry face, and here he is smiling and making a heart XD
Man i wish i could meet JD :p so he could buy me tasty meals 
|
Haha yeah Jaedong!! I wish he knew how much non Korean fans loved him too.
|
jaedong is such a manner guy, i wish i could meet him.
|
i imagine the majority of the progamers pocket a ridiculous amount of their paycheck, since they live in a team house and i guess have chefs?

The majority of progamers get paid breadsticks though. O.o
Cases like Jaedong are rare. Few players make significant amount of income.
I bet the majority simply let their parents keep the money for now and get some pocket money from their parents for monthly spending.
Jaedong's spending money is probably the equivalent of an average progamer's salary.

Guys, Jaedong IS a cheapskate.
/sarcasm

not like it needs a finer translation, but,
"To someone who has a cd key!!!!
'til now, i've been playing with the no cd-key patch, but with the release of 1.12, i can't anymore
a cd key~ 1 cd key~"
haha, but jaedong acts so cute lol. everybody knows he and hiya are just joking around (if it was srs they would have settled it with each other) and he even brings witnesses lol
s0 ky00t
|
lol is this like the korean equivalent of april's fools?
|
Can someone link me to Hiya's interview of him saying that?
|
|
|
oh my god. jaedong is so cute. he dances too. I wanna see him do a ceremony if he beats FBH.
|
Aw Jaedong, why you gotta be so awesome?

The first thing I checked was if atrioc had made this thread. Still kind of baffled.
|
The other witness was the owner of the chicken restaurant nearby Hwaseung dormitory. The owner is also a fan of Jaedong, and is passionate enough to deliver the chicken himself when Hwaseung makes an order. The owner testified that "Whenever Jaedong buys, I purposely give him a discount. he buys chicken once ever two weeks so I'm happy that I get to see him often".
ha that's cute
|
Jaedong has to carry his team and buy them food? What is this crap lol JD should just say, "Oh, I'll buy you some chicken when you fuckin' earn it, you lazy bastards!"
|
|
|
The rest of Hwaseung don't deserve any snacks.
|
|
|
haha i wish the owner of the nearby diner was a fan of mine so he would deliver me food with a discount ^_^

Fixed, I believe.

HiyA is pure evil, he shouldn't buy him anything anymore 
|
Best interview ever? lol, When short up for news, make your own news?

Is it possible the person who gave him the CD key is responsible for where Jaedong is today?
There is a similar post by Jaedong years ago in which he complains that his high school teacher won't exempt him from night studying sessions (yes, Korean high school students stay at school until 11pm) so that he can work toward his dream of being a progamer.

haha this interview was gold
I wish they'd do more like these, imo makes progamers seem a lot more human

People who are saying he was over-reacting or that this is kind of rediculous need to realise this, as the culture is very different, and this is a much bigger insult over there then it is here.
|
lol
Learn something new about Korean Culture every day
|
|
|
Come to think of it, all the Korean people I know have been really generous to me. This one guy used to drive me around everywhere without complaint and share his top notch weed with me all the time. This other Korean coworker I barely knew bought me a really nice birthday present.
Man I need to get some more Korean friends.
|
Produced witnesses? Wow, Id hate to see what happened if he was ever accused of anything really serious. He would probably go all mission impossible in order to prove his innocence and bring the guilty to justice.
|
ah thank you very much was hehe little hiya
|
haha... Hiya becomes a progamer gogo
|
damn hiya!
Well if Hiya comes to a game with a broken leg we may know where he got it from
|
that was interesting...
bit overreaction no?
|
Jaedong!
|
After reading this a second time, I think this might be some kind of practical joke that Hiya ran on JD. JD pulls out his "NO U" card with witnesses. Hilarity ensues. So cute :3
|
|
|
Lol, Hiya is fucking hilarious. In the last episode of hyungjoon he totally stole the show ^_^ never seen someone love the camera as much.
|
|
|
Lolol stop the presses! Jaedong confirmed NOT a cheapskate, front page STAT!

He'd just stare at the guilty until they burst into flames.

Haha that's cute how he goes through so much trouble to hold his image up
|
Jaedong is awesome as per usual.

jaedong and hiya must be awesome people to have a drink with
|
HiyA pwned.. I don't know about the cheapskate issue, but jd doesn't look like a cheapskate.
btw, about the picture: HEEEEY THAT'S MY POSE. YOU CAN'T USE IT ALL YOU WANT !!
|
Awesome picture, hopefully they've straighten out the confusion.
Great move by Jaedong to "clear" his name by showing us the truth.
Thanks for the translation

Hiya's my favourite progamer.
|
Jaedong probably punched Hiya in the face while he was sleeping after this interview, lol!
What a low blow calling JD a cheapskate like that in a interview

lol jaedong is so cute
hiya is just hilarious.
|
lol thats awesome jaedong ftw
|
Lol. I don't really understand why HiyA made up something like this in the first place.
|
Obviously there are cultural differences here. To english speaking people, being called cheap is a minor insult. It's seriously a really bad thing to be called in korea though... it's grounds for starting a fight etc.
|
Funny story
I understand that it might be a bigger insult in Korea than in Western Countries but why couldn't he wait till his next winner interview to explain it and went all the way to bring witnesses
And to be honest I would be also insulted if someone called me cheap even though I'm from Europe. I just hate cheap people...
|
Bitch, I buy more snacks than you. GTFO
|
Jaedong's so awesome, of course he's not a cheapskate :D
|
Sick and tired of getting raped in practice?
|
I'd love to see a Hwaseung House strip get made about this.
|
I feel like sweet orange chicken now...

You never want to be labeled as cheap as an asian... fiscally responsible is better. 
Naw, but it is something you don't want attached to you, the word is just negative.
Ah Jaedong is such a cutie, going out and countering all that magikarp has done.
|
I can just picture the next Hwaseung House having to do with this.
"Oz loses 3-1"
"Hey Jaedong, can you buy us some chicken?"
*Trademark Jaedong glare*
|
Well there was an earlier Interview where Jae talked about Family and care-taking and such.
So everyone who read this should knew earliere that Jae isnt a Cheapskate.
He is a very warm harted Guy <3
Go Jae~
|
LOL that was sooo awesome.
|
Rumours... srs bsns. This is just as bad as K-pop nonsense. Please leave progaming alone.
|
Maybe Jaedong doesn't buy Hiya food lol, and Hiya is raged as a result =/.
