This is so very sad. I hope he shows up to events at least because he will be missed. I always loved yellow and his play with boxer was always a show.

Yellow.... Hong Jin Ho, I remember the days when I'd watch the games with my dad.
I'll miss those glory days. KKong, I'll miss you, Yellow, Storm Zerg. Hong Jin Ho D=
I wanted one more LimJinRok

Congrats YellOw to a great career! We all know that you could've gotten a gold, but decided that silver looks better.

Very good point. You should always leave them wanting more.

I agree with Nazgul. He retired on a high note. Ending his career in ACE with epic games, and rejoined KT just in time to experience winning the PL Grand Final.

Yellow had achieved everything there is to achieve, with the exception of a gold.

Retiring is the right decision, especially as he is still in the 20s.

Prior to the match fixing scandal, the primary thought that consumed me when Savior was sent out only to lose to no namers was "he should have retired instead of tainting his own legacy".

This is truly a sad day in the history of Starcraft. The legacy of the Storm Zerg has always been the progaming story that interested me the most. He was legend, an handsome man with such a professional and enjoyable attitude. I wish him luck in his future endeavors, and I will always remember [NC]..YellOw. Goodbye Hong Jin Ho.

Really sad, somehow. I always liked Yellow more than Boxer. I hope he is happy regardless of the path he ends up choosing.

One of the greatest ever, certainly far and away the greatest player to never win a title. He's in the second level of greatest players of all time (below the bonjwas + leesang and bisu) and in the first level of most important/influential players to pro BW. I hope someone who's watched him since the beginning does a writeup that does him justice. He's one of the reasons SC2 is possible today, and why Boxer is who he is.
