Our world today is so focused on extroverts and the media that I feel like introverts like Bisu seems to be get a rather poor shake.
You can generally understand how someone might be in person from their comments, body language and actions. Even if progamers don't say a lot, you can still get a decent idea of how introverts (all progamers are basically introverts) like Jaedong are in person because everyone shows expressions once in a while...they are human after all. Bisu doesn't really do much of anything outside of the sound proof booth.
I agree with Assymptotic, Bisu is basically an enigma to me. Their personality isn't really relevant but he seems to have so little of one that it make him seem more similar to a kickass Starcraft playing robot than a human player, his most defining characteristic is literally "he is a handsome person".

I could care less what Bisu's personality is like. The important thing is that he produces some of the most exciting BW games. Bisu's means of expressing himself isn't necessarily through words or other socially accepted hobbies/sports. He does it by gaming (where he's an amazing artist). I think on a gaming forum we should be more accepting of this than mainstream society. It's not his dedication to the game I'm questioning; it's that he doesn't seem to have much of a world view, no apparent life philosophy that he abides that makes me think 'wow he's really insightful,' no political opinions, religious views, no interests in something that isn't superficial. Hell, take many famous athletes or celebrities, and they have PLENTY of interesting insights into the world (regardless of whether or not I agree with it). From people like Bruce Lee, Michael Jordan, Lady Gaga, Arthur Rubinstein, etc...they all have something that shows that they aren't a shallow husk. Even Jaedong and Flash have a certain spark to them that makes me think they're interesting people. I don't know what his "world views" are and neither do you. Just because he doesn't express them to the public doesn't mean he's got nothing else going on in his head. And celebrities often do express their views publicly because they love attention and it's often their business to attract that attention. Bisu is passionate about a game and he spends a lot of time working at it. That's hardly superficial. What about all the celebrities you see on TV who latch on to the first popular movement or charity to get publicity? That in my opinion is what's really superficial. Again, just because Bisu doesn't express his life philosophies for the whole world doesn't mean he doesn't have any. Our world today is so focused on extroverts and the media that I feel like introverts like Bisu seems to be get a rather poor shake.
After club hopping with some friends last night (and consequently, dealing with fake people), I've been thinking about this a little more and I think you have a point. Mind you I'm strongly introverted as well, which lead me to initially believe Bisu didn't have much going on up in his head. I usually can quickly pick up on people who are similar to me, whether it's through text or face to face interaction, so I expected something to shine through, whether it's dry wit or underlying cynicism, and none of the 30 questions lend themselves to really well-thought out answers. Doing some introspection on myself, I find that people (usually extroverts) often misunderstand my brevity, or assume nothing's going on because I don't say very much in conversation, which is not the case at all.
Hopefully Bisu has something more.

Glad to see some personality shining through the interview. For too long TL holds Bisu as some type of e-sport sex symbol and will probably continue to do so for the next decade or so.
I always found Bisu to look more charming, sophisticated and energetic back when he was in MBC. Whenever I look at Bisu's photos in MBC uniform, I found them to have more individuality. Did the training method of SKT cause Bisu to lose some parts of himself?

I think you guys need to cut Bisu some slack about having/not having a personality when he does his interviews. You have to remember that he has probably been asked these kinds of questions hundreds of times and could be slightly annoyed. How many TLers would be interested in what kind of girl he likes? Since he is good-looking, this kind of a question probably naturally comes up on TLers minds as well as the thousands of fangirls that he has.
Remember that when we look at him, he is a unique individual that we want to learn more about but when he looks at us, we're a faceless mob, a giant audience. I think that with the celebrity status he has, it becomes difficult for him to carefully and thoughtfully answer EVERY SINGLE question that comes his way, especially if they are repeats.

"One of my relative hyungs took me to an internet café, which is when I started playing. The standard units for Protoss are relatively stronger than the standard units for other races and it was easier to play as when I first started"
LOL Same here.

Bisu has the 4th best current vT ELO in all of BW.

Maybe its just me, but I've noticed that before, when bisu wasn't on a roll like now, he said protoss was hard to play. Now he is saying "when units begin to gather together they become incredibly strong…I really enjoy building an army and Protoss takes less micro compared to the other races…so yeah."
|
That is a lot of fun! I cant wait till SC2 players are as popular and as favorably portrayed as some of the BW classics. Bisu seems like a really cool guy. I do wish him the best in getting to another finals.
FYI Snow, when Bisu calls your PvZ "unique and interesting", you've just won at life.
|
Can we have another 30 questions and 30 answers with Bisu? Haha, always need more!

5. What do you think about your appearance? What is the part of your appearance that you like the most and the least?
- I like my eyes the most. I don’t have any part of my body that I don’t like ^_^
I thought he wanted Best's body...
|
You guys who complain that Bisu doesn't have a personality surely doesn't understand how it is to be shy. All the doubts and second-guessing about your words and actions. The seriousness when dealing with others and how it leads to overthinking. The reason why shy ppl don't go to parties is because they know they wouldn't talk to anyone they didn't know before.
|
7. When you don’t have matches, are free, etc. what do you usually do?
I generally don’t like going outside so I either go home or stay in the team house and watch TV or go on the internet…
At least he's honest...
|
of course bisu us, bisu fans, will definitely wait for you. pls. win a starleague or an msl again.
thanks for the translation
