Lee Hyun Joo, arguably the most recognizable member of the Korean team by virtue of her gender and her propensity for escalating excitement and climactic cheers.
Formerly a professional Starcraft 1 gamer herself (Zerg) and an eSports caster since 2001, Lee Hyun Joo knows her way around the competitive scene. Her role in the coverage trio is lead caster which means that as her two cohorts are receiving a constant stream of game information, she is interpreting their input and explaining the actual progress of the game to listeners. Days can run long, but when the other two gentlemen are swapped out for a fresh set of commentators, indispensable Lee Hyun-Joo remains on the podium the entire time. Her knowledge, her beauty, and her passion make her the perfect icon for professional eSports broadcasting.
Say anything positive about her and I will take on the responsibility of adding you to the list .
*Note* At Blizzcon 2011 Lee Hyun Joo announced that she will be taking a temporary break from the GSL for logical reasons (Pregnancy).

Im hoping for more Visual Radio episodes with her and various pro. Like MC. Those were the best.
Also her reaction to the cheer John the Translator got was priceless.
It was awesome seeing her at blizzcon introducing in Korean. It was cool because it was 'the korean experience,' but made for americans =) and I like that she makes the effort to speak in english.
I'm pretty sure she said she wouldn't be casting for a little while but she didn't say she wouldn't be back she's just pregnant obviously. She's a very special woman and does a great job!

I'd like to add those to the OP, any help on finding the episodes ? was unable to fund any with the normal youtube search function... neither on google.
Sign me up please! I became a fan after finding the subbed version of her show with MC a few months ago. I'm still sad that I could find the other Korean casters on Twitter,but not her. >.<

Lee Hyeon Joo Fighting!
Watching the Korean stream is one of many things I look forward to when I can understand Korean. ^^
Sign me up - her enthusiasm can be heard on the backing of the English commentary. Wishing her all the best with the baby! May she have a good time off and when she's ready, hope she can return.

sign me up. Have respect for all the GSL casters, but i never knew where her she came from to enjoy gaming so much. Must truly love it to be an ex-pro and always seems to express full excitement.
Now she is casting warrior xD Lee Hyun Joo Fighting!!
She's one of those many reasons why Korea just does it a little better. Yes, we all love Tastetosis, but when do the foreigners get a female that knowledgable, attractive and talented? She's a mainstay of GSL and I hope she comes back soon!
So does anyone know if she actually has a lot of game knowledge? Because every time i hear her loud voice i get the impression that she's a pure shoutcaster.
Lee Hyun Joo is a great high-energy caster and her personal interviews for the web shows with the players that are occasionally translated for us are particularly awesome.
Wishing her the best with her new little one and hope she comes back to GOM again soon.
Can someone translate this? She is quite attractive.
From what I have gathered from the YouTube comments, it's something along the lines of "let's just play one more game, please, just one more" in a seductive manner or something like that.
Sign me up too. I won't lie, if GOM offered a Korean audio stream I'd take listening to her and the other Korean casters 6 days out of 10. In my humble opinion Lee Hyun Joo is the #1 legitimate female in all of e-sports. Even though she's unmistakably beautiful, nobody ever questions her place because unlike certain other notable females in the community, this lady knows her stuff.
She's awesome, beautiful, have sense of humor and like the best game in the world! What else do you need to be a fan of her?
Hope she comes back right after she gives birth to her healthy baby! ♥ Lee Hyun Joo (I believe her name is misspelled on the title). ♥ for you too, Theeakoz, for creating this awesome fan club thread.

Look on the bright side I suppose, at least there haven't been any idiots accusing her of only being in such a high position because she's a woman.
But yeah I know what you mean, I kinda wish people would tone it down a bit. Yes she's attractive and I don't see anything wrong with pointing that out, but saying how much you want to "fuck her" is pretty disrespectful and makes me wish she never sees this fanclub.
Which is annoying, because normally I'd love for her to see this and realise she has a ton of foreign fans.
My favorite gsl moments are when you can hear her scream in the background over tastosis. The pic in the OP is now my background on my desktop, please sign me up <333333
I'll miss her, the passion during casts and hard work for GSL have always made me admire the Korean stream and want to learn Korean just so I could listen in. Hope Lee Hyun Joo comes back soon!
She's practically the total package: beautiful, full of energy and does show knowledge and passion for SC2 as well. Whoever is the lucky guy that knocked her up, I'm jelly.
But seriously, I love her because she is amazingly smart and has a great talent at being on stage speaking in front of people. Have you ever tried public speaking? She excels at it, and looks hot, and makes me want to watch world of tanks, LMAO.
