I feel so depressed, I just wanna cry. I always thought MBCGame was closing because it wasn't doing so well. But he says they were doing perfectly fine. WTF!

I feel so sorry for him and all the MBC staff, they've been treated horribly. The part where he feels the 10 years he's spent at MBC feels meaningless really got it me. That has to be one of the worst feelings, I mean 10 years... That a lot of time and for it to feel like it amounted to nothing...that's just depressing.

Even though they won't ever read this, I'd like to thank all of them for making MBC what it was and for all the great memories.
I hope they all find new jobs and success soon.

Thanks for the interview

That picture of Shark really got to me. These people love Brood War so much, it is inspiring.

Q: Your face seems to tell us that it troubles you to even reminisce of the past.
A: There's nothing good to try to hold on to the glorified past. Rather than be depressed by thinking of the past, it's better to forget and move on. It's much more productive to worry about the future. I want another game channel to open, so that we can show up MBCGame. I want to show them that their policies are wrong, and they made a terrible choice to close the channel.

This makes me so angry at Mbc, it looks like they closed the channel allthough it did "good business". Why didnt they open a music channel parallel , why did it have to be instead mbcgame. I hope mbcmusic fails terribly

wow does it get anymore sad. The 5th last picture og what used to be a buzzing progame stadium of cheering fans and 2 players getting ready to battle it out is now empty chairs, only 2 tv's on each side turned on and the remaining staff of MBCGame ending an era, not because they want to defintely not but because they are forced to

.
I love the way the koreans answer questions, full of beautiful metaphors and colour.

So sad for him. He dedicated 10 years to help the MBC grow, and one day just..

Hope for the second gaming channel to appear. Don't care for MBC and their music channel although it deserves to be boycotted by koreans.

I'm sorry for the language, but FUCK YOU MBC. You did not have to do this. You were a pillar to BW and now you will just be another unremarkable music channel of which there are plenty in Korea if my knowledge is correct.

If it weren't for me not being alone right now I'd have tears all over my face. Makes me wish I was a billionaire so I could save MBC Game.

I've never read a more resentful interview, and guess what? I bloody agree with everything he said.

Good luck Kim Chul Min, BW will never forget you.

Thank you Kim Chul Min, and everyone else who made MBCGame and the MSL great.

We've already expressed our anger and distress with MBC's decision, so I guess the last thing we can do is wish you luck.

I think this was the best interview to give for the situation

not a mild nostalgia or naive hope, but a sense of tragedy and furious indignation at the situation

someday...

wow, it was as if he took the words out of my mouths. This is exactly what I thought when I heard about the shutdown. It's nice to hear the same words from someone who was part of the scene.
