I am worried Abyss_Bahamut might commit suicide now that you exposed him not even knowing Im's name


Breeze, shut the fuck up, I am Korean, and it's been proven dozens of times so don't think I don't know his name okay? I've met Boxer twice in real life, and the reason Koreans say Lim instead 'Eem' as we KNOW it is, we do it because stupid arrogant american bastards are just bastards who don't bother to pronounce our names correctly so WE KINDLY accomodate for them, Next time you meet a Korean ask them how to PROPERLY pronounce Choi, Park, Lee

Hell ask them how to pronounce Kim.

Abyss.. you are so insanely touchy and really haughty mannered -_-;;
That guy was obviously joking... And national pride and all that.. but WTF?~!?!?
I'm sure you know what you're talking about and so on but you present yourself really badly.. Calm down and I'm sure people will listen -_-

Btw, Bak, Iii and Choi I'm not sure since I've never heard it pronounced ^^ First two is how I perceive it through vods + korean language knowledge~~


People didn't listen anyway when I was calm before Arb. I only got so ill-tempered because Breeze was making one jackass of a joke. It was insulting to me because rather than believing me about where Boxer got his ID or asking my credibility he only looked upon what I said as fanboy bullshit. It wasn't funny.

Btw, Bak and Iii you're right on^^, choi is more like Cheh, and Kim is more like Gihm.


well..you did say youve been following the progaming scene and shit..so yea he was just joking didnt have to take it seriously

Just watched the dvd again a few hrs ago and you can see him looking thru an online dictionary at the word Slayer

LoL~

so anyways if his name is Im then why does he call himself Lim?
the only time I saw him write Im Yohwan in english was when he was giving out those little discs that had his SC settings on them

and it also says Lim Yo Hwan on the postcards that came with the DVD

just watch any VOD with yo-hwan in it.
you'll see O| with a square under those 2 characters instead of a S| (make S backward)

The answer to this is probably within the 7 pages of this topic, but I'm too lazy to read. If he is "lm", then why was his ID "limyh" ?
people are similar in nature. its the experience of life that makes them so different.

Nonetheless, I get people mistaking my last name for Lim as well... Happens at school all the time. ^__^;;

And damn it when it's on the attendance!

Most likely because he doesn't care what his last name is in english? Just only in korean?

It's not in english, its just his name in the roman alphabet. Big difference.

whoops~

I wasn't trying to fight with you about what his name was or anything ._. In fact I think all of us have heard him called Im Yohwan b4 this

Just wondering why do they spell it Lim Yo Hwan on everything in Korea? Yohwan himself even spells it Lim, not Im +_+

I was just asking why do they do that :O?

SiS didn't really catch you there, who says lm and who says Lim? Or spell, whatever..
EDIT: OK, after some serious thinking I understand you, my answer, don't know if they ever called him lm before, if you know they did, then you have the answer, They MESSED UP!
