Recently, an immensely popular player appeared on the SKT1 team who has showed up at every game. Even though he has yet to play a game, the adorable body and expressions have garnered him much attention from many fans.

In an attempt to understand this player, Fomos has interviewed him. Because he’s from another planet, there may be some language difficulties…today’s interviewee is “Bunkie.”

(This interview was unable to be conducted normally, so it was done through internet chat. It was very natural, and the conversation is very casual.)

Very glad to finally meet you, we have many questions. First, introduce yourself.
-My name is Bunkie, age 12. Even though my head is very big, I’m considered very handsome on my planet. My family includes my father, mother, and sister “Tingkie.” I like Boxer and all the SKT1 gamers. This is my 6th month on Earth, and I currently fill the position of SKT1’s mascot.

Your personal information says you’re from the planet Quaoar. Can you tell me what it’s like over there?
-Quaoar is the 9th planet of the Solar System, discovered recently by Earthlings. It’s…pretty far from Earth. (T/N: He refers to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50000_Quaoar )

[image loading]


Even though it’s not very polite to ask…your height is 170 cm, but you seem taller…is it because of your big head…
-By Earth standards, it’s 170 cm. But right now I’m having a growth spurt…relatively, my head’s been getting bigger and bigger, I’m getting slightly worried…
Haha

You love computer games and Starcraft. How skilled are you?
-I think my Starcraft skills are pretty decent, but I have a very average record on Battle.net. My Bunkie 1-wave all-in build sometimes succeeds, sometime fails. If the 1-wave build fails, following up with 2-wave build sometimes gets me victory…

You like Boxer, any particular reason?
-He looks like me…and I feel really similar to him…a lot of his tactics are fresh and unique, and he taught me the “Bunkie Build.”

I like your answer…When can we see your sister “Tingkie?”
-Tingkie’s still on Quaoar. She’s been contacting me a lot recently, trying to get me to get her Bisu’s autograph…She’s still little, but I heard she might come next season. She said that if the family won’t let her, she’ll sneak off to Earth…I’m kind of worried about her…

Hope Tingkie can come soon…by the way, since you came to SKT1, the team’s had a pretty good image. What do you think?
-Seems like it…because the players always practice with me, compared to last season, they can defend against the 1-wave all-in’s better. It’s all thanks to Bunkie.

[image loading]


Bunkie’s been really popular lately and has a fan club…do you feel it?
-Every time I see someone join the fan club, I’m very happy. But, to surpass the numbers of Best’s fan club, I have a long way to go…that’s my goal. Every time fans take pictures with me or give me snacks, I’m very happy…but my stomach’s been getting bigger and bigger lately…troubling…

Do you see Best as a rival? Who’re you close with?
-Best’s always mean to me….he pulls my tongue and presses on my eyes…I’m only 12, so I can’t beat him, and my Bunkie Build isn’t good against him either…so I’m trying to surpass him with number of fans…I’m close with Gorush. He’s very handsome and funny, but occasionally he does some very weird dances~~
Haha~~~

Do you have deep impressions of any fans?
-Once I was in the audience, and a fan grabbed my neck and tried to molest me…wah, terrifying…

I see…last time, I saw you do stuff with your ears. Besides that, do you have any other performance techniques?
-My real specialty is break dancing. I like to dance, but because it makes the clothes dirty, many people won’t let me…so, next time, I’ll get around and move a bit. Recently, I’ve been getting chubby, I don’t know if I can still move it like I used to…

We’ll eagerly await…now to ask some realistic issues…the weather’s getting warmer and warmer, many people are worried for Bunkie. Especially if we get to the finals stage, a lot of people say Bunkie will die from the heat in there…what do you think?
-If the team really makes it to the final, even if I die from overheating it won’t matter. Even though I’m slightly worried, but it’s OK~~ If we’re really at the finals, heat isn’t an issue.

I see…any last thoughts? Also say something to the Fomos members.
-Thank you very much to everyone’s care and support, but I hope everyone loves SKT1 more, hope everyone will cheer for us so we can win. Fomos is a site I go to a lot, because there’s a lot of pictures of me which I like…Also, recently there’s been a lot of people dissing SKT1 players. I hope people stop saying those things…if you have to, diss me…Lastly, I hope for everyone’s continued support~~

Cute.

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE.

For anyone wondering what he means when he says that Boxer looks like him: The Korean fans have been teasing Boxer because he has a big head since he first became a progamer. It's pretty much on the same level as Nal_rA's orgasm face in terms of the ratio of affection to mockery.

I love Bunkie so much - he always gives me free stuff and we play a lot at most of the events - I smacked him on the nose once and he chased me round the press line infront of all the T1 players and coaches. He's a big part of the reason I'm a huge T1 fan these days and why I always try to go to T1 PLs as often as possible. I know who he is, but I can't bring myself to connect the man to Bunkie!

Tingkie = SKT's new rival mascot to Shonyu? (Female KTF Mascot)
Also, I feel sorry for Shudder if he is the new mascot, former OSL participant turned mascot hahaha.
