Having made his debut in 2005, being a pro gamer until 2009, Park Chan Su (Luxury) had retired after a shameful incident.
After that incident, Park Chan Su had been prosecuted for domestic assault and abuse. On March 21st in the Suwon District Court the final verdict has been released.
Since the verdict had come out, the press wanted to know the feelings and emotions from Park Chan Su.
Q. The Final verdict has come out, how do you feel?
A. I received the final verdict on the 21st. I was very distressed during the trials for roughly the last 6 months. It was very difficult mentally for me.
My ex-wife would not acknowledge the results of the first trial, and pressed for an appeal so I had to endure more difficulties. During that time, even though I felt that it was unfair and difficult, it became known that I did not commit a crime, and I was certain my innocence would become clear.
Q. The topics of the writings that your wife had written on nate… was it true?
A. It was completely untrue. The largest issue about threating her with hydrochloric acid was untrue. And what she said about getting an exemption from the military service because of her rare disease, alongside with what she said about me avoiding military through my toe was not true.
Furthermore, in her writings, what she mentions about my mother is not true. When my mother read her writings, she too became very distressed. When we were dating, I didn’t know this about her, and after we got married I don’t know why she did these things to me.
Q. The public doesn’t view you favorably, how do you feel about that?
A. The public and netizens see me only as a terrible bastard, and the distortion of the truth and internet bullying caused me to really become distressed.
As the stories tried to blow up the stories of my ex-wifes stories on Nate, my image became the worst. The truth is, I was not violent even once, and because of my ex-wifes disease, myasthenia gravis, I was suffering. I didn’t know how scary the distortion of the truth could be through the media.
During the difficult times, how did you gain strength to carry on?
A. Because of the distortion of the truth, I became mentally exhausted. As the trials continued, I gained a distrust in people, and became socio-phobic (scared of other people) so it was very hard. I felt nothing but the scathing eyes on me when I went out.
My strength came from my family and my friends’ heartwarming encouragement. And the fans that had believed in me until the end gave me a lot of strength. Also, during the very difficult trials, all of the help given from my lawyer was very appreciative.
Q. Since the final verdict became clear, do you have any plans on charging your ex-wife?
A. I am in the middle of reporting her for perjury and libel. In life, during this very important time the hatred I can feel in society’s eyes about me and it’s very difficult. I can’t do anything. It’s very devastating. It’s very difficult to go about this alone.
Plus, the trial process was very financially difficult. Simply, compared to money, like the result of the trial from the judicial courts, I am still in society’s dangerous eyes, so I want the entirety of the trial (the good and the bad) to become clear, like my ex-wife’s mind. I just want to put this behind me.
Q. Is there anything you want to talk about your match-fixing?
A. First, I am incredibly sorry to my team, fans, and family. As the incident came about, and the investigation for the truth, I would like to give my testimony.
I did not act appropriately as a pro-gamer, and even today I am regretting my actions and continue to self-reflect on what I had done. Since high school, I was engulfed in the goal of becoming a progamer. There are not enough reasons to say why I had done it. Even though it ended this way, I have matured through the mistakes of my past.
There are many people who still don’t think of me as a progamer, due to the despicable and shameful incidents that happened. Alongside with my fans, I am very disappointed in myself, and I feel extremely regretful and I think it was a shame.
Q. After you finished as a pro gamer, what have you been doing?
A. Because I was a pro gamer for a long time, honestly I still have a lot of desire to continue in the gaming world. But since I cannot continue like this, I am currently preparing to try to become a government employee.
A new kind of work is challenging and I am scared and worried, but I am going to try very hard. Next month is the exam, and I am trying to get a good score. Shortly after the exam, I think I am going to go to the military. I haven’t been given an obligation to join the military, and it is a bit late, but I think now that I will go. In the military, I want to experience and learn a lot.
Q. Any last words you want to say?
A. I am very sorry for the shameful incidents that I have done. I want to thank everyone who has been with me until the end and all of the strength that they have given me. I want to thank those who cheered for me, and my encouraging friends, family, and lawyer. I am very grateful.
From now on, I will be much more careful about my actions and what I say. Through this incident, I am extremely relieved that the truth was made clear. From now on, as I reflect on myself and my previous actions, I am going to try very hard in life. Also, compared to the pain from the cyberbullying of the netizens, I hope that they will give encouragement and continue to cheer.

The hate is pretty well-deserved tbh.

Thanks for the translation. Why is everyone saying he's still a piece of shit if he was innocent? That seems kind of harsh for the match fixing alone, and he's already been shit on enough since everyone just assumed he was guilty. Not to mention being betrayed by his wife, who made up false allegations to ruin his reputation and have him arrested.

The other article stated he testified to police that he admitted to abusing his wife. How is that childish? Just that he never threatened her. Or was that somehow proved false or overturned based on the verdict?

hmm in the other TL post there was a linked article stating he admitted to abuse but in this new interview he's saying he didn't lay a hand on her. in addition that linked article is dead. FISHY FISHY O_O
this is looking kinda like one of those shady law stuff!!
|
I think if he had actually admitted the abuse to police, then he'd have been found guilty.

It's probably been deleted, I used the search function with keyword 박찬수 and it didn't return any result.
Maybe I need to downgrade to Internet Explorer 6 to make Korean websites work properly?

The article that had him admitting to abuse is just gone.. it's just so weird!

I still don't understand why he just casually has hydrochloric acid lying around that he could use to threaten his wife (even if you assume she is lying, I would have to guess that she wouldn't falsely accuse him of this unless he actually had the acid to make the claim plausible. Which still leave me to wonder why the fuck he has acid.).
from wiki page: "One of the most important applications of hydrochloric acid is in the pickling of steel".
the fuck

but that quote doesn't say he had hydrochloric acid, just that the threat against her with the acid was untrue. Why would he have acid lying around? lol. Well, there's car acid but that's sulfuric and not hydrochloric lol

Move on people. This hate circlejerk is disgusting. He cheated in a game 5 years ago and then got sued by his ex wife for abuse of which he has been cleared. Let's not drive another person to suicide over your selfish misgivings.

He's still a disgusting piece of shit
And not guilty is not a innocent verdict.
