Welcome to the fourth in the 안녕하세요: Messages from the Korean Progamers series.

A quick explanation:

This series focuses upon bringing fun and interesting little snippets (post-cards if you take the format literally.) from the Korean progamers to us. In the small windows of opportunity presented at proleague for me (between organizing photo shoots, taking event photos and shooting the fan meetings.) the gamers leave their own little messages in a special book which is then photographed and translated by our very own Konadora (and sometimes some guest translators too.)

We're using simple questions (because it is difficult for me to translate and we don't have much time in which to get these written.) to provide some little insights into our favourite gamers' hobbies, dislikes and attitudes towards certain things.

Thank you to Smix for being our guest translator this week! Today we have messages from Free, GGplay and ZerO - three of Woongjin Stars most famous and popular members.

This time we requested a specific theme again;

What is your favourite food and song/artist?

Thank you to the players and head coach of Woongjin for their generous support of this project.

Please check here for the eSTRO messages: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=95640

Nice, thanks! Finally something a bit more personal than the standard "I will give my best, please cheer for me!"

I can easily say with complete bias that this is the best progamer connection yet!

Here's some videos of their favourite music, I'd never heard of Lee Hyori before but maybe some of you have. It's not really a genre I'm in to.

HyoRi is known primarily for the fact that she is HOT, moreso than her music, haha.

Back when Stars were sponsored by Hanbit, it was well-known in the Korean community that Stars' house sucked. There were sarcastic pics and remarks how members, especially free, had demotivational-esque posts subtitled "I want to eat meat T_T" (고깃국을 먹고 싶어요 ㅠ.ㅠ), etc.

Later, when Woongjin became the sponsor, people called Free, "Free powered by meat" (고기먹은 윤용태).

There was a quote I read somewhere about the coach or manager saying "I will give the best possible treatment (salary) to free, equal to the top-payed players." As far as I know, Free had a salary of $6000 per year under hanbit.

I never surfed the Korean community boards often, so I can't vouch for this 100%, but I'm fairly certain by picking up bits and pieces.

Just remembering (and I always wanted to share this) since "meat" came up with Stars.
Stuck.

Its such a great feeling knowing that korean progamers are becoming more aware of their overseas fans. The bridge between the two communities is becoming smaller and its awesome to be apart of it. Greatly appreciate the effort and work you are doing towards this NeverGG and Smix

edit: Wow they all love meat heaps. Pretty sure Australia exports a lot of beef to South Korea

Nice messages, better than the previous ones. I like Zero. Zero Fighting . Poor GGPlay has carpal tunnel syndrome yea?
