KT's Yellow, an icon of Esports for the past 10 years, the legendary #2, announced after the conclusion of his official retirement ceremony and final game that he would be leaving the StarCraft world completely. Interestingly, standing with Boxer, Nada, and Reach, one of StarCraft's 4 pillars in the early days showed us that sometimes the runner-up gets more glory than the winner.

After losing his retirement game, he continued to analyze it with his teammates, showing expressions of regret - it does make us wonder if he had any thoughts about continuing his career as a player. But Yellow says, "I'm retiring to pave a way for the new generation."

Q: What compelled you to retire?
A: After being discharged from Ace and returning to the team, I stood at the crossroads. In Ace, I practiced diligently, and in the eyes of those around me, I won some meaningful games, but I myself was unsatisfied. My time in the Air Force determined whether or not I would be able to become a pro player once more, but victories were rare. I'm not confident in my ability to survive in the fierce competitive StarCraft world anymore. After returning to the team, I had no way to catch up with my upcoming teammates who had taken my position. I felt there was no real place for me, and thus the decision to retire. Additionally, I feel that the Yellow in his 20s had more passion than the Yellow in his 30s. I felt guilty and regretful, that I couldn't perform as my fans hoped, feeling that they kept swinging between hope and disappointment.

Q: What were you thinking after you finished your retirement game?
A: As I let out a sigh of relief, I did feel it was a pity. After my last bow, I realized that my desire to win was rekindled. But I lost to Midas, and our team lost that day, so it was rather unfortunate. Giving up my spot to the newer players makes me feel relieved, but it's hard to avoid at least a tiny bit of disappointment. I suppose it's impossible to completely erase one's winning desire.

Q: In your 10-year professional career, what do you remember most clearly
A: I was quite torn after I submitted my retirement form. After around 10 days, that feeling started to subside, but when I came to the stadium, and saw all those fans who had come to see me, I felt very moved once more. Also, after seeing all those images from the past, I nearly cried. I'm so grateful that all these people could come to attend my retirement ceremony. Having everyone here with me made it truly unforgettable. Boxer, Nada, TheWind, and other old veterans attended, and I kept thinking of happy memories with them.

Q: Over the past 10 years, what left a strong impression on you?
A: They're all bad memories, haha. The first thing I thought of was losing at Kwanganri in the Finals. During the early stages of the 2005 season, we made it to the finals undefeated but lost to SKT - that was rather regretful. Getting to the match undefeated but being only able to take home second made it all feel rather empty. I remember sobbing together with my teammates as we shared a meal afterwards. The second was losing to TossGirl in the WCG qualifiers. That was pretty much the first time a male progamer had lost to a female progamer, so it became a hot topic of discussion instantly. The third was getting bunker-rushed by Boxer 3 times in a row. That was a blow I'd never felt before in my life. I don't want to remember it, but it just comes up often.

Q: In a world that only acknowledges #1, you've somehow become famous for being the eternal #2
A: I'm quite proud of that. Many people say that it's a world for the winners, but I feel proud for leaving the impression that "as long as you can take #2 many times, consistently, you can be acknowledged just the same". to everyone. Second place is pretty good. I earned this spot against excellent progamers, and I'm satisfied in showing everyone that #2 is great too.

Q: On the day of your retirement ceremony, you finally reached #1 in search engine results
A: Finally getting 1st place on my last day. As this was the stage of my official retirement, going out as #1 is significant, I suppose. It's all because of the passion and support from my fans. In the future,I'll do better than receive a 1st place created for me by others, and reach it with my own hands, through my own action.

Q: What are your plans now?
A: I'm not entirely sure yet. I want to continue doing shows like "Staying up with Shin-Ae". I'm not ruling out coaching or playing StarCraft 2 entirely - there are other possibilities as well. But currently, I don't really have any concrete plans, and I'll be spending the next few months contemplating and organizing my thoughts.

Q: Are the chances nearly nil of you coming back to gaming?
A: Indeed, the chances are quite low. If so, maybe a 1% chance? Today Boxer brought flowers and a box for StarCraft 2, which surprised me at the time. I guess he wants me to switch, haha. We spoke a bit backstage - he said that he hoped I could cheer him on when his team competes, and told me that if I switch to SC2, I could join his team.

Q: What was the response of your parents when you decided to retire?
A: I think they respect my decision. Although initially there was more disapproval than approval, but they trust my choice now.

Q: Final remarks?
A: I've met many people, and experienced many things over the past 10 years. I have so many memories - just reminiscing could take up an entire year. I won't regret my 20s. I've learned a lot, but done so little, and I feel guilty about that. To the fans, all I can say is thank you, thank you... thank you so much. They've given me so much love, so many memories - I'll never forget them. No matter where I go, I'll live proudly as professional player Yellow.

I hope the new generation can bring Esports to a whole new level. I hope one day when I meet others I can say proudly, "I was once there".

Hahahah Yellow, finally reaching #1 in the search engines for once! And damn, he looks like a boss in that suit. It's so sad to see a living legend leave the scene, but we wish you the best of luck with whatever you choose to do in the future!

I checked the original Korean source and your translations were pretty much spot-on! You had a REALLY good Chinese to Korean translator there! Excellent translation overall!

Oh, and to give a small bit of hope to everyone... Yes, Yellow did indeed say that thanks to Boxer offering him that SC2 box, a very small, very tiny possibility of him switching over to SC2 has formed.... But only a very small possibility of switching over he said, keep that in mind.

I wasn't around when Yellow was really playing a lot but I always cheered for him when he played. It's hard to not respect someone who commands the respect of so many!

It's not a single vod he is just a guest on Shinae's show a lot. There's a topic here on TL about it.

It'd be nice to see him do something related to SC as his job. Something like a coach or a commentator would be really relieving. ><"

Im from the new generation of BW followers. My idols are Jaedong, Flash, Stork, Bisu...
But I lurked enough to know who is that badass motherfucker, who stormed e-sports back then. Forever 2#, but fuck it. Just as he said, if you can be second so many times, it means youre just as good.
In the world we have nowadays, I understand why he would give up progaming. Its not like he grew out of it, videogames dont have age limit, but in his shoes, I would want to accomplish something beyond the limited e-sports.
He seems like a very cool guy, so I can only wish he finds happiness on his new path. Rock on.
JangBi will go the finals.

Yellow, my favorite sc progamer, the reason I play zerg, the eternal underdog, so sad to see him go. Here's to hoping we see him in sc2 ^^. I love the sounds of slayers~yellow, it's almost poetic.

Goodbye Yellow. I respect you a lot for not switching to SC2.
The fact that he, in the end, became the most popular BW oldschool player is quite amazing.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

A really great interview Thanks for this.

You can't have anything but respect for this man. It would be great if he moved to SC2.

A: Indeed, the chances are quite low. If so, maybe a 1% chance? Today Boxer brought flowers and a box for StarCraft 2, which surprised me at the time. I guess he wants me to switch, haha. We spoke a bit backstage - he said that he hoped I could cheer him on when his team competes, and told me that if I switch to SC2, I could join his team.


This is what I wrote in the LR thread after seeing him with boxer:

That's really nice he ended at #1. I hope he ends it that way. As much as I would like him to go to SC2, I don't think it will happen...Nor should it to be honest.. Best of luck to him as I know he will continue to be successful no matter what does he does.

I still remember so many replays of him.

most memorable for me for some reason was him vs nada on desert lost temple. first time i saw awesome defiler usagae, and was just so amazed...back in 7th grade?


anyway, I hope he pulls an effort and realizes he wants to get back into the scene....the sc2 scene that is.

Sry, but with this much awesomeness, bnet will never be able to handle a game from any slayers player and consequently, slayers will never be able to play.

Would be lots of fun if he goes to BoxeR team/SC2 but if he doesn't he will always stay BoxeR best rival and i'd respect his decision anyways.

i hope yellow doesn't switch to sc2. i was so dissappointed when boxer july and especially nada switched, and i looked up to yellow as being the only old school player that kept true to his roots. i don't want him to ruin that, but it's his choice i guess

You know, he might have been referring to when he first entered pro-gaming. Besides, Starcraft is now an acceptable career, considering how one can gain star status and earn lots of money from ads. Cultures don't change, parents in general are as success-minded as ever.

If Yellow ever switches to SC2.....I don't know what to want tbh.

It would be lame him he switched. I'd like him in a role on a team. The game is NOT dead we don't need all our legends moving over for the sake of it just cause it's easier mechanic game. Kids will get great and overtake all the old guys in SC2 as well anyway.

Q: Over the past 10 years, what left a strong impression on you?
A: They're all bad memories, haha. The first thing I thought of was losing at Kwanganri in the Finals. During the early stages of the 2005 season, we made it to the finals undefeated but lost to SKT - that was rather regretful. Getting to the match undefeated but being only able to take home second made it all feel rather empty. I remember sobbing together with my teammates as we shared a meal afterwards. The second was losing to TossGirl in the WCG qualifiers. That was pretty much the first time a male progamer had lost to a female progamer, so it became a hot topic of discussion instantly. The third was getting bunker-rushed by Boxer 3 times in a row. That was a blow I'd never felt before in my life. I don't want to remember it, but it just comes up often.

That's so sad Poor Yellow.

So sad to see Yellow go. He was certainly a solid player during his time, and he was definitely a role model and inspiration to the younger players on his team. I will always keep him in high regards (But second to Boxer, hah. see what I did there? ;D).

As for Yellow going to SC2, I doubt that he'll do it. I remember reading somewhere that he said he was done with E-sports (probably during the pre-match interview), though it would be interesting to see him play SC2.

A: I'm not entirely sure yet. I want to continue doing shows like "Staying up with Shin-Ae". I'm not ruling out coaching or playing StarCraft 2 entirely...

Ahhhh! Would be so awesome Don't you just love when things happen like its a made-up story? I sure hope it does ^^

I don't know about the SC2 transition--if he switches and becomes successful, doesn't that further reinforce the idea that SC2 is for players who cannot compete in the Brood War scene yet still want to make an impact? The elephant would just grow in size.

Please do not turn this into a SC2 vs BW arguement. Just celebrate the original greatest Zerg has moved on

Why is it that all the old-gen of BW players are all so handsome?

Is that image photoshopped or is that an actual GSL tag on him?

That's wassup man. If Yellow plays SCII, I have no doubt in my mind that his mechanics can carry him pretty far.

He shouldn't go to SlayerS, Boxer is there. oGs has Nada and ST has July so he should to another team.

Then there can be an epic 2v2 Boxer/Nada vs July/Yellow

But if he goes to SlayerS he could be second in command.

I found that hilarious :D. ty.
I was so happy when I saw him do player intros today on GSL. Hope so bad that he joins SlayerS too. SlayerS_Yellow will be extremely weird for a while though.
