Thanks for posting this interview. I think a lot of people on TL probably saw his "showman" personality and instantly disliked him for being arrogant.

For anyone who doesn't read mandarin,

All of the text below each picture does NOT translate correctly what is written in the pictures... I think OP may have had a issue with synchronising the translation with the images.

if I have time I might translate the text written in each picture, kinda ceebs though

Just like most thing in life, you can't judge a person based on what they do during a broadcast.

That was a really interesting read, it's funny how he switches from being cocky to modest all the time. I guess for the entertainment value as he said... and he practices up to 12 and a half hours a day? I think I have some work to do...

This interview is exactly why it pisses me off so much when people hate on MC for being "arrogant". He's not like that in real life, he just acts like he does for show. There's the confirmation right there, in the friggin' interview. I've been waiting for something like this - now I'll just send a link to this interview to haters to educate them on how MC really is. It's just a shame when a player is so unfairly judged by people when he's actually a nice guy. Pisses me off so much. People just look at interviews and his winning ceremonies and make judgments about his character based on those. It's incredibly ignorant.

It's nice to see interviews on a personal level like this to really show what someone is actually like. It would be nice to see more of these around

Wow that was so good, it was wierd how he doesnt think his best race is protoss."Even though I use a race that I am not good at" I feel as though it suits him so well.

Pretty sure that's not what he meant. I think it should read something like "Even if I used a race which I'm not good with (zerg, terran), I believe that I would conquer them [my opponents] with my great power.

He was talking about balance, so what I understood from it was that his race was a non-factor in him being so dominant lately; he's claiming that he would have had as much success had he played another race. Basically, he didn't want his dominance to be discredited because of a potential imbalance in the game.

It's probably one of those things that was lost in translation!

By the way that was my first post, yay!

Very good interview and translation.

But I think the word " 囂張" in Chinese is more close to "Arrogant" than "Aggressive".

And because someone is going to translate the text below the picture, I'd like to share some load.

Pictrure1:
"In daily life, oGsMC lacks his arrogance and power he showed in the match. Most of the time, he looks more like an ordinary big boy who loves games, merely that he chased his dream in e-Sports much harder (than the others)."

Picture2:
"MC is not fighting alone. Though he showed us arrogant image in the matches and interviews, in real life he has many good friends."

e-Sport fighting!!

Name: MC (张敏哲/Jang Min Chu)

Why is his name written in Chinese, not Korean? His name should say 장민철, not whatever those Chinese characters say

张敏哲 is read as Zhang Min Zhe in Chinese. Chinese fans probably call him 张敏哲 in Chinese as it sounds similar in pronunciation to Jang Min Chul in Korean.

What, MC is getting marries? What kind of interviewer drops a bomb like that and doesn't ask a question to follow it up!? Any info about it? Also, Tyler, White-Ra and now MC.... i'm starting to see a pattern..
