Hongun just replied on twitter to a question about leaving Prime as it being "a secret". so i guess that kind of confirms he is leaving the team, it also probably confirms we wont be hearing anything more about it for a few days.

Is that even the real HongUn? 1 post ever made, and it's that one. Seems odd to care about your name on a forum where you never post.

Wouldn't surprise me since he has bad wrists problems and mentioned he might retire because of it one day.

please close this, it lacks so much information it's not even funny. You can't conclude anything from that besides the fact he wants his TL id to only spell HongUn..

Keep in mind that a lot of the Korean progamers who have been leaving teams end up streaming alot on TL in order to advertise themselves to the foreign scene I suppose. So if this is the real HongUn then that would explain the name change even though he had no prior posts, it would just be planning for his future career in the foreign scene. Like someone else said, Check did the same thing. I'm pretty sure Sleep did as well.

It's weird because it seems like Prime is the only Korean team that actually makes money and has a real business/marketing strategy (well, maybe Startale and oGs?) .. but they seem to be struggling with retaining members.

Really wonder what's going on behind the scenes over at Prime, has to be something O_O

I saw what you wrote before you edited it, pretty condemning. Hope if this is all true that he finds a good new home.

I thought HongUn already left Prime a while ago? So this name change is just to update his status so people don't think he's still on prime

I wonder which team would pick him up? Will it be a foreign or korean team? It's pretty damn hard to go solo.
