Back when Backho (Son Chanwoong.) was first injured and forced to retire from both the OSL and GOM Tv tournaments when it was discovered he'd seriously injured his back; Myself and Lilsusie banded together to create a 'Best Wishes/Chanwoong Fighting!' card from all the foreign fans who wished to participate.
Here is the original post we made plus some videos of me making the card:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=87771
Well today, finally - it was delivered to the man himself. With the help of the Hwaseung coaches and Hwaseung Promotions Manager Mr. Lee to whom I am utterly grateful for their assistance (and the free t-shirt! lol)
Today at the Play off after **MENTIONS RESULTS: ADDED THIS IN CAPS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A SPOILER TAG** + Show Spoiler +Jaedong's epic all-kill insanity.
The most heart-warming scene of all his team mates standing round him as the coach explained to him what it was developed and amidst whooping and a player saying 'Chan woong is a global star now.' Backho was all smiles - he thanked me and then we went outside to take a photo.
Upon returning inside he asked Mr.Lee 'Can I keep this?' (Which was one of the most endearing things a gamer has ever said with me around.) Then he proceeded to carry it around until I gave him a giant plastic bag to make things a little easier!
Afterwards, at the fan meeting I attended along with Mr.Lee I spoke to Chanwoong (via Mr.Lee's translation.) and told him how all the foreign fans of Teamliquid and the other sites involved (GOM TV and SCforALL mainly.) are rooting for him. He replied that he hopes to come back with stronger plays and to win again.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible - it was wonderful to see Backho recieving everyones' messages - he was so shocked and happy regarding how many foreign fans stepped up to support him during a bad time.
Special Thanks to: Lilsusie (remember cutting out all those pieces of paper?) Mr. Lee, Hwaseung OZ coaches and every single person who gave a message.

Ohhhh man, i just defended a dude who spoiled the MSL and then I looked at your spoiler :S
You should mention something like: DO NOT LOOK IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE KTF WINNERS LEAUGE PLAYOFFS YET. It was totally random when thinking about BackHo. :/

That's why it's behind a spoiler - of course it mentions the results. Please use some common sense when looking at spoilers. They exist for a reason.

I think my absolute favorite was Saya's poem. It's genius.

He seems to be in good spirits; a little quiet, but he's usually like that when he's not dancing ^_~ He was cheerful and pleasant to work with as usual. He also seemed happy to be back with his fans and at the live events given his attitude towards the matches and the fan meeting.
