It's weird even if he is retiring. Why would you delete your twitter? Social media is important for him no matter what i would think. Very weird


If you have no plan on staying in the spotlight or anything that requires it, I can see why. If he isn't going to stream or do anything that requires it, then why would he care, especially if he doesn't like that part of his life.

Hm yeah i guess. Wouldn't have thought that JD wants to go that route though tbh


Yeah, I mean I know if I had his popularity I would definitely keep streaming. He would make a shit ton streaming if he decided to do that.


Pretty sure Jaedong is well past "making a shit ton" my friend, not saying he had ZERO expenses but back in the Oz days he for sure had a high six figure yearly salary on top of his multitudes of tournament winnings.

I don't think the money matters to him at this point, it's all about enjoying life.

You need a lot of money to not care about money anymore at all. I doubt JD is at this point tbh.


I mean ordinarily I would agree with this, but some people aren't greedy or high maintenance, I wouldn't be surprised if JD already took care of things like school money/house/transportation/savings account and just isn't trippin on getting another year of a decent SC2 salary.

I mean I could be wrong but I don't know lol, he was quite the super star.


I mean he's made a lot and could go awhile without worrying about work, but I guarantee he hasn't made enough to last the rest of his life. If I were him, I would be streaming to get more savings for the next few years. A lot more fun then working a 8-5 job.

Dunno what his plans are, but it is sad that he appears to be retiring is my guess .
When I think of something else, something will go here

Oh of course I definitely wasn't trying to imply he's some multi-millionaire that is set for life, but I'm sure he has a few hundred thousand plus his ducks in a row stashed aside, so an 8 - 5 menial job (because he has no real life skills other then playing pro level RTS) probably isn't too necessary for him.

Yea, regardless of the semantics, always sad to see a legend retire, but if retires to stream Brood War...well then honestly, I won't be so sad.

Deleting the twitter can only mean one thing...

The Dong is back...the Dong is BACK!

BROOD WAR BABY! GET READY!

Or maybe he'll pull a Flash (or at least what Flash said he'd do) and legit retire.

죽은듯이 사는게 좋다 translates roughly to "It is better if I am dead than alive" or some flavor of "It is better to be dead than alive" -- it seems like a very serious tweet that could imply hard times or depression.

No, it translates to "I like living as if I am dead". So it could mean that he likes the peaceful life of not getting results as a progamers, or literally sth bad, but I would favor the former
E: or he likes to live without twitter, fb and stuff so that he can focus on gaming

I'm not an expert in Korean but I think your translation is closer. It's still a bit weird though... would prefer he speak to his fans in english at least once.

Well, knowing Jaedong, he'll do fine... if he felt like he was doing bad he would've retired already

This was posted on Reddit:

[–]RandomZerGJunO [score hidden] an hour ago*
죽은듯이 사는게 좋다 translates to "It's better to live like a dead man." Common Korean saying when they're really busy, want some isolation and live quietly. I have no clue where the fuck all the other translators here learned Korean, but learn it properly please. He didn't say he'd rather be dead, what the fuck? You make him look like he's suicidal or something.

My hope is that he has simply blocked all social media so that he can practice for the upcoming GSL qualifiers.

Thought I would share this here, though, since it's easy to translate the phrase in a way that makes it seem like Jaedong is having serious issues with depression, when in reality it sounds like he just needs some time/space to focus.

It is sad to see JD dwindling away, but absolutely wish him the best and the life he wants. He was never one for the cameras, despite his huge success; a bit like Flash. He really seems to be enjoying himself based on the tweets I've come across.

Thanks for the clarification on the translation of the tweet, Splynn. Some of those translations made me worried for a second.

Whatever it is, I'm sure he enjoys a simple life now. He was under so much pressure, and was also unlucky lately as well (think if we won 3-2 over Leenock instead of lose).
Anyways, I bet he'd be probably retire this year silently. Maybe popping from time to time on Bisu's stream under some MoustacheZerg moniker or so just for kicks. Then military.
That's my bet.

He must be a little tempted to dab in the afreeca scene. He'd certainly get enough viewers just from who he is almost regardless of playing quality to make it worth his while. But who knows his situation. We don't know if he needs the money maybe he's just done with video gaming life style and wants to do something else. Maybe he has hand issues and just doesn't want to game anymore.
