Don't see anything official up for him. Not sure if there will be, either, so I decided to make a post for him.

From his facebook:
안녕하세요 프로게이머 생활을 그만두게 됬습니다 ..
항상 응원해주신 팬여러분들 믿음에 보답하지못한거같아서 정말 죄송합니다
그동안 잘나지못한선수 진심을 다해 응원해주셔서 너무 감사했습니다
정말 잊지못할 기억들과 사랑주셨던거 마음속으로 깊이새겨두겠습니다
또 그동안 우리팀원전부 에게 너무 감사드렸어요 끝까지 함꼐못해서 아쉬움이 남네요
e스포츠 관계자님들도 항상 격려해주시고 좋은말씀해주셔서 너무감사합니다
정말 아쉬움이 크지만 이대로 떠난다는게 믿겨지지가않네요 항상 뒤에서
e스포츠 응원하겠습니다 다음달에 군대갑니다 다른사람이 되서 만나볼수있으면 좋겠습니다

My Korean isn't great, but I had a friend confirm the basic idea. He said that he is retiring and will be joining the military. Says his retirement isn't due to the military and thanks everyone for the support.

If someone wants to do a full translation or finds a full article on it, let me know and I'll add it here.

Even though he beat the Afrotoss, this was one of my favorite moments in this split proleague:

Yes the text above basically says that he is retiring and then entering military service at the end. All the stuff above it is about thanking his fans for their support, that he has a lot of good memories from BW, and is sad that he is leaving the scene

after his army service he will probably play as a BW semipro like most of retired BW players do now

he can get pretty good money from it too

It would be awesome !

Man, this guy had a lot potential despite being unable to deliver during televised matches and January had a lot of faith in him... Really sad to see him retire Wish him the best luck to his next chapter in life!

Sadly, I think there will be more Kespa progamers retiring before the start of the inaugural SC2-only Proleague.

yeah, it's just a matter of when they will officially announce it. Because there probably is enough that they may not really do kind of the individual news announcements. Movie, tyson, etc etc are going to be retiring.

Just play in the ssl instead, he could make a name for himself there. You don't really make a name for yourself in bw in a mixed league anyway.

I'll always remember him for his one overly-enthusiastic-dramatic post-game (not post-match) interview where he said stuff like "it's so awesome to win // players should cherish every televised game they get because not everyone gets a lot of chances // thanks coach for trusting me // I wanted to win so bad because I wanted to interview like this" something along those lines. Not the guy who's had the most spotlight, but someone who understood the value of it.

All the best for him and his future endeavours.
