Hmmm it's pretty interesting to see that you read it that way. My interpretation was always along the lines of "Please don't make fun of Yellow."

You read it as a rebuke, while I read it as an appeal. Yellow really is the closest you get to a tragic figure in pro-gaming, and the fans have really jumped on that fact and overemphasized it to the point where it's become the most prominent part of his legacy.

And while fans revel in his tragedy (it is a great story after all), there's inevitably a great deal of sympathy that goes along with it. That's the strangest thing about Yellow's pseudo cult-figure status in the pro-gaming community; there's a great deal of love to be given, but only in form of sympathy for the victim.

ㅋㄲㅈㅁ appears commonly, without any provocation needed. One just needs to invoke Yellow's name, and a stream of ㅋㄲㅈㅁ comes up. It's just a meme with no other meaning to some degree, but on another level it's an open reminder to everyone that Yellow needs sympathy.

I was actually wondering whether ㅋㄲㅈㅁ had a more negative connotation (as MrHoon points out) or one more of what you suggest, of sympathy, and reading the ㅋㄲㅈㅁ article right now makes it seem like both. It covers what you mention - how he is seen as a victim/his story is a tragedy, but the article also states MrHoon's point by ending as follows: "복잡하십니까? 간단히 한마디로 요점 정리해서 말씀드리겠습니다. “닥치고 ㅋㄲㅈㅁ!”", which has more of the rebuking aspect to it.

I know this is a senseless question so I’m sorry, but I believe this is the fun part of interviews like this so please bear with me~ What do you think of Wonder Girls’ debut in America?
- They debuted in America? I didn’t really know, but maybe I did hear a bit about it before… though I don’t know how much my view on it counts, because they were so successful in Korea, I’m thinking it wouldn't be surprising if they also do well in America.


About this.... I highly doubt it'll be any successful... I already listened to their English version of Nobody and oh god... wow.....

maybe it's b/c I have such high standards for things...

Agreed. A group with more talent should debut in the US.

Big Bang is great. Would love to see them come. Their accent might be a bit much for Western xenophobes though.

Epik High is still favoured I feel - Tablo's English is impeccable and their last American tour was rather successful.

I digress. I am really really quite curious as to what the ㅋㄲㅈㅁarticle is about and would be impossibly pleased to read it myself [or link me to it and I'll throw it at a Korean friend]

To be honest, Big Bang has a good chance of being successful in America because of their music and fashion style. Big Bang's English is better since they've done more English songs than the Wonder Girls. Also Big Bang studies English in their spare time and they speak English to their choreographers. So far The Wonder Girls and BoA are doing okay in the states, but Se7en and Utada are at the bottom tbh. Epik High can't really speak English except for Tablo who was an English major at Stanford and is 100% fluent in English. The rest of the group said so themselves that they understand better than speaking.

and lol @ the netizens comments.

SoNyuhShiDae came out with a new song.
- Just like anyone else, I like SoNyuhShiDae. So of course, I’ve listened to their new song. I have no expertise in music at all so it’s hard for me to evaluate their new song, so maybe it’s because I’m not used to it yet but as of now I like their older song Gee better.
Who do you like most?
- I like them all, but if I were forced to pick one I would pick Taeyeon and Jessica.
Anytime also likes Taeyeon.
- (startled) I have no intentions of competing against a senior for Taeyeon.

According to Oversky, he said you and Reach seem like you guys would be the toughest in controlling the new enlisted players – are you harsh against the newbies?
- I’m not the type of person to force people into doing things, but I think depending on the situation I do tend to follow military discipline. I believe that type of behavior is necessary in the army, and even now I am behaving that way. Even if I tend to follow military discipline, I believe doing that is the right thing to do.


Poor little newbies... manhandled by both Reach AND Yellow every day
