Whats wrong with staying respecting rivals? It all sounds so forced to me.


Probably because every single TBLS were good friends with each other except jaedong x bisu so fandom wants them to be on good terms too..

That said my liking of bisu just jumped by a notch, i just hope both of them gives exciting and even games in broadcasted matches T_T
Lee Jaedong Fighting!

What's forced about it? They've often said over the years that they'd like to get closer to each other, but just never had the opportunity. Then their mutual friends decided to take them out drinking so they'd get to know each other better. Sounds like something my friends would do. And now that they've become good friends, the interviews become more enjoyable and natural as well. I like this a LOT more than their first interview together in '09... Jesus that was awkward.


I didn't mean to imply that they weren't per se. I am saying I am surprised to hear that fans would expect it to be the case. If anything I would be more likely to think that fans would take two celebrated competitors to be more bitter rivals than they actually were (since that is the context in which the fans would most often see them together.)

Forever the skeptic...I also dont really trust what people say in interviews to be the truth ... I mean Bisu losing 10 times in a row, come on, not even Jaedong ... I would also expect both of them to have gotten better at interviews in general since '09.

edit: Of course I am projecting...it pains me every time I see JD lose in their matchups and want to think he is ruthlessly cold in his determination to overcome :D

Man thanks for the this. They are my two favorite players. I like Jaedong the most cuz I am a Zerg fan boy and Bisu for just being in class of his own when it comes down to PvZ, so much respect.

BTW I thought I read somewhere they have gotten closer since this years Blizzcon. Maybe the are really becoming close =)

lol awesome interview, they really seem like friends now

Unlike Jaedong, who took his time choosing his dish, Bisu picked something right away. He chose the most expensive steak dish. He said, "I know you journalists are rich" and innocently ate away at his filet mignon. I know that a lot of progamers have little knowledge of wages outside of the progaming world, but was Bisu really that oblivious, or was he just pretending to be so he could eat his steak with a clear conscience?

DES=Bisu is ahead in head-to-head's. A lot of fans have been asking about that.

Bisu=I knew they would ask that. I was hoping you would be smart enough to filter those questions.

Bisu=Well I guess I would have to say no, too (laughs). I feel like he would meet other women while seeing my sister (laughs). You know how successful guys tend to be (laughs).

Hahaha yowchhh, BURN to Jaedong there

Thanks for translating this awesome interview! It's great to see that Bisu and Jaedong are close friends now and that they've overcome their former mutual awkwardness with each other lol. So much bromance lmfao. It was interesting to read how Bisu is on a massive losing streak to Jaedong in practice but having a winning record against him in live broadcast matches.

Part 2 <3

This reads like an interview with old friends, hard to believe they only really "met" a few months ago. Thanks again for the translation!

omg part 2 was even better, thank you so much rotinegg for translating it,+ Show Spoiler [PL spoilers] +
I feel so much better now especially since SKT just lost, everything is all better now


Really enjoyed the interview, these parts were pretty funny
+ Show Spoiler +
DES=If you had a younger sister would you introduce each other to her?

JD=If I had a younger sister I would control her from her school years right up until she married. I would not let her meet any guy and keep a keen eye on her. I'm not so sure how Bisu treats his women….
Bisu=I guess that's a no then (laughs).
JD=That's not what I meant, you definitely meet the bar. You're rich and handsome so you would be a hundred times better than an average guy off the street. I just meant I wouldn't let any guy near her if I had a sister.
Bisu=Well I guess I would have to say no, too (laughs). I feel like he would meet other women while seeing my sister (laughs). You know how successful guys tend to be (laughs).
JD=This is false (laughs). We agreed not to do this to ourselves!
Bisu=I was just talking about successful guys in general (laughs). If I get a younger sister, or a daughter, I'm going to set a strict curfew. Hearing about stories of people being sold off as slaves or being buried alive in secluded mountains in the news scares me so much. This world is not a kind place.
JD=So how are you going to make up for the damage you've done to my image (laughs).
Bisu=Again, I was talking about successful guys in general, not you specifically (laughs).


Bisu=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.
JD=I thought he was good looking. He is undeniably handsome (laughs).
Bisu=I can't agree with that sentiment. I personally think RuBy is very good looking. He's also tall [Ruby is about 6'0.5" while Bisu is 5'9"].
JD=I can't talk about looks in front of Bisu. He is in another class.
Bisu=My face is more refined and sharp, while Jaedong has a softer appeal. At first I thought it was a very cutsie face but the more I see him the more he exudes a soft and manly charm.
JD=I personally love Bisu's laugh (laughs). People spell it out like 'Uh-hung-hung-hung' and I think it's very cute.
Bisu=I lost my laugh because people kept making fun of it.
JD=Why it's so cute!
Bisu=See. Even you're making fun of it (laughs).
JD=No seriously I'm not making fun of you, I think it's cute (laughs).

Get a room guys
DES=One of Jaedong's fans asked what it feels like to have a large male fan-base.

JD=I guess they aren't fans of me, but rather my games, right? (laughs). I think a lot of male fans joke around about being gay for me (laughs). [T/N: I hope he visits TL one day]
Bisu=I've never seen it but I guess it would be kind of creepy (laughs).
JD=I sometimes get fan-mail from male fans.
Bisu=Really? I've never.
JD=I assumed all progamers received fan-mail from male fans, but then I asked my Hwaseung teammates and they all said that they hadn't either. I guess you don't either.
Bisu=I don't even think there was ever a progamer around me that said that he received letters from male fans.
JD=Well I'm still thankful (laughs).


Bisu=My eyes are prettier (laughs).

Oh bisu lol <3


JD vs Bisu OSL finals would be so good (but unfortunately one would have to lose )
We need more interviews like this, much more. Makes my fanboy heart flutter :D

Well think about this way: the fanbase is actually largely female, and if you know anything about fangirls, you'll know we definitely prefer players being cute and BFF with each other than bitter rivals. We love the silly banter about girlfriends and drinking constitution and how they're jealous of each other's looks and whatever else they feel like talking about. Which makes this interview pretty much a dream come true. In the booths, they may want to destroy each other, but outside of it, they're two adorable and amicable guys of the same age that have known each other for years. Truthfully, I'd have thought they'd have been good friends a long time ago, just like they are with Stork and Flash. What happens in the games don't necessarily affect how their relationships to each other are; Stork has been crushed in OSL finals by both Jaedong and Flash, but he's still close to both of them, and sometimes jokes about losing to them. I enjoy Bisu's rivalry with Stork (if you can count being 0-5 against him these last two years as a rivalry ><), but every time I see them hang out and be friends, it makes me ridiculously happy (speaking of which, it's almost Christmas! When are we getting our annual Taekbang interview? hehe). It's just fangirl mentality ^^

DES=If Jaedong and Park Wan Gyu [T/N: Famous rock singer in Korea, big advocate of E-sports] were drowning, who would Bisu save?

Bisu=I can't swim so I would drown too if I tried (laughs). I would do my best to save both (laughs).

Looks like we're gonna need a Flash around to save all three of them lol. Then Bisu will have to knock Flash out of the OSL to thank him for saving his life :D

And yes~! Jaedong vs. Bisu for the next OSL finals pleeeease.

Thanks so much for part 2 translation <3

Damn, I need that mental capabilities JD is talking about when drinking. Isn't it the elves in the LOTR that can drink like immense amounts of alcohol without dropping the ball? >_<
