Flash and Jaedong tied for the player with the most wins in SPL, and here's Flash's interview (because I like Flash more an Kona already did the Jaedong one HERE). Did a quick search, and didn't find it. I really hope this isn't done or else I'd be pissed!
You got the most wins in SPL, what are your thoughts
It was a very arduous race. Even though I got the title, the fact that my team did not make the playoffs dealt a serious blow. I will try harder next season.
Did you feel pressured completing against Bisu and JD?
I actually thought about giving up pursuing for this title in round five; but since they made blunders, I saw another opportunity. I was hopeful until the very end, and it created a lot of pressure, but I was able to capture it in the end.
Comments on JD and Bisu?
They are both excellent players. I know fans see us three as the representatives of the three races, but I am not as successful as them. It's probably because they practise harder than I do. I am very envious of them for their opportunities to play in the playoffs, and I wish them success.
If the match against T1 went to Ace, would you be playing?
Of course. At the time, coach and I talked about this, our team did not make the playoffs, but the last match was about honour. I wished to play against Bisu for Ace because I think that's what the fans would want to see. Luckily, my teammates played very well, and the set did not go to Ace.
Comments on this season
We had a very slow and rough start, especially during the 3rd round, it was as if we had no hope for playoffs. We began to catch up in the 4th and 5th round, even though we did not make the finals, we learnt a lot from this experience. We have already decided to train hard during our time off, and try our hardest for the next season.
Who do you think will win?
Even though I don't want to comment on individual teams, but objectively speaking, I think T1 has the best chance. After all, they only need to prepare for one set.
You seem to be having problems with individual leagues.
Yes, being eliminated from the OSL had a lot of impact. Luckily, I still have a chance in the MSL. Recently, I have been preactising very hard specially for MSL. I will also aim for #1 in GOM. I am having a bad streak against Zergs, which caused me to lose many key games. I will turn this around in my next game.
If SPL still has the "Most Win" title, would you want to try to win it again?
The most important thing is making the finals; otherwise individual wins are pointless.
Flash sounds a little old, a little tired, and a little sad, especially for being I believe still the youngest player to make any of the recent Starleagues. It's kind of sad.
Thanks for the translation - hope more people read it to see that while the expectations on Flash are enormous (multiple league wins and indisputable best Terran or you are a bust) he is just a kid carrying a team.
Clearly he's arrogant when he's always saying in interviews he's not playing well enough, taking about how Bisu and Jaedong are way better than him, etc.

I don't think you have any idea what arrogant means.
Bisu has flares of arrogance... Flash does not.
Arrogance isn't necessarily a bad thing either as long as it's in moderation but Flash just isn't arrogant.

Have you even read any of his interwviews. He definitely doesn't show any sign of arrogance. And he seems mainly sad or bored at his pictures. Can you point out what made you conclude that he's arrogant?
