"GSL Lady" Lee Hyun Joo

The GSL mascot 'Queen of the Blades' caster Lee Hyun Joo will be returning.
On July 25th, at 11:00am at the GOMTV basement cafe located in GangNam, caster Lee Hyun Joo made an appearance at the official event for the 2012 Monsieur J GSL Season 3 Code S Finals media day after disappearing from the GSL scene for nine months.
Lee Hyun Joo, who obtained a lot fame from her fans, was a caster for the GSL ever since the 2010 open seasons. During the 2011 Sony Ericsson GSL October finals, Lee Hyun Joo announced that she would be temporary leaving the GSL scene in order to deliver her second child.
In March of 2012, caster Lee Hyun Joo delivered a healthy baby and began preparing for her return to the GSL scene.
After not seeing her for a long time, Lee Hyun Joo was interviewed at the event. She stated that "even after leaving the scene, she kept on watching the GSL nonstop while holding her second born baby in her arms," clearly indicating that her passion for the GSL had not diminished even though she had to leave. She also stated that, "nowadays the performances from these players have gotten so much better that even from a regular spectator's perspective, the games are so much fun to watch."
Caster Lee Hyun Joo is slowly preparing for her return to the GSL scene. Her official comeback date has not been decided yet but she is working hard to ensure that she will return for the fall season. She stated that "since the players' skills have increased, I am worried that there will be a lot more drawn out macro games. In order to fully prepare for my return I am putting all my attention to taking care of my body. I want to make sure I have enough stamina to be able to cast those long macro games so I have been focusing on exercising. If my health concerns are dealt with and my request is granted, I want to return by fall season."
YAY! I LOVE THE GSL LADY, CASTER LEE HYUN JOO!

OH MY GOD YES!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!! :D :D :D Her voice was always so distinctive and exciting, even just hearing it in the background on the english cast. She's just obviously good at her job.
|
I always liked her, and would be glad to see her back. Then again I'm not Korean, and am not sure what the K-netizens think of her casting.
|
Sweet, but it's just one more reason why I wish I could always watch the korean stream live

Oh nice  Welcome back soon indeed!
|
The husband is a lucky man.
|
great news
|
Hurrah!!!! I was just going to ask GOM what's going on and why isn't she back by now etc. I like her very much, welcome back! Something was missing without her, to be honest. GSL wasn't quite the same. She brings so much positive energy.
|
she's kinda cute =D ehe ehe
|
I remember her well. She was so emotional at the Blizzcon GSL finals.
|
|
|
This is amazing news! I thought about her last week, thinking about the upcoming GSL Final. I miss her epic introductions and interviews, not to mention that Ready Action show. :D
|
I missed GSL caster lady ;_; <3
|
|
|
|
|
Good news, I was thinking about the GSL finals at Blizzcon today because of this upcoming GSL final. Glad to see that she is making a return!
|
Wow 9 months sure does fly by O.o

Welcome back GSL Caster Lady! <3

I had forgotten that she took the time off. Her husband has got to be on lucky man........

Cool news, I always liked her a lot.
|
great to hear she and baby are well, hope to see her back soon.
|
Yay!
She's pretty awesome.
|
Extremely happy to hear that, I kinda missed her on screen...
|
Awesome! She was always extremely nice while I was over there. Gave Wolf and I rides back to the GOM house after the cast sometimes if it was raining. She took myself and a others out to dinner multiple times while I was at the GSL as well. Really glad to see her talking about returning!
|
Aw that random story just made her so much more awesome. Thanks for sharing that.
|
Didn't know her, but cool!

I liked her before, but I like her even more now. So glad she's back with a new bundle of joy!

Female caster, GSL, I thought it was lilsusie you wanker

Hmm I wonder, how they're going to split the Korean casting roster now. If I'm correct, the Korean casting team is kinda like this:
Code S: Engine, Park Sang Hyun, Mr. Chae
Code A: Daezang, Colossus, Gisado.
Park Sang Hyun has actually been doing a really good job (from what I can tell) and I don't see Lee Hyun Joo doing anything else except for being the lead caster for Code S.
Or if anyone watches the Korean stream, do they rotate around more often?

Awesome. Bump dat fan club.

Did they rotate it in the past? I thought Lee Hyun Joo/Engine/Mr. Chae were the only 3 for Code S

yay I really wish she could do a surprise show up in the english stream sometimsee haha

She was pretty awesome Glad she is back

Yeah. I'm pretty sure those three were the original SC1 GOM casters and then stuck around to be the main 3 casters. Then Park Sang Hyun (former MBCGame caster) came in around the time Lee Hyun Joo left on maternity leave, and I'm pretty sure the Code S line up was always Engine/Park Sang Hyun/Chae. So I'm wondering how Lee Hyun Joo will fit in now.

Awesome! Now they need to bring back Che Ji-Won.

She's probably one of the coolest moms ever - during early GSLs she visited oGs house a ton just to practice/learn sc2 better, a couple of times playing until like 5 am in the morning.
Super nice person.

oh hell yea! welcome back!

Happy to hear she's back. Everything I've heard about her suggested she was well liked and did a great job so it's good to see her back.
Edit: This announcement was in Gangnam?!? She better have announced it Gangnam Style.

Lee Hyun Joo! Happy to see her coming back to GSL.

Yeah she'd do the same thing at the GOM house once in a while. Just ladder all night to like 4-5am. Sick Zerg!

Oh, and THIS!
Seems like a weird metric for time but....seriously. That was an entire nine entire months ago? They don't lie when they say time passes more quickly as you get older...wow.

You should change Comeback to Return considering she was on maternity leave.

So many people being duped today.

Yay Hyun Joo. I wondered what had happened to her.

I think I'm in love with her ... D:

Best news I've seen this week.
I have no problem with the other Korean commentators, they're all good, but Mr Chae/Mr Ahn/Hyunjoo will always be the real A team in my mind <3
|
|
|
So happy!
I always remember seeing her when I first started watching GSL!
Welcome back ^^
|
Yay, congrats to her on the return
|
Glad that she will be back. Really missed her as a caster.
|
Hurray and welcome back! Holy crap the time flies. :o

Yay...Glad to see her coming back.

The two evenings I was at the studio for last season's Code S (ro32), Colossus was the 3rd caster instead of Mr. Park. Not sure if he was just filling in or they do indeed have a rotation of sorts.

Wow forgive me i had completely forgotten her. She used to be the highlight of the GSL finals.
Mighty fine work youre doing on our first ladies seeker, keep it up!

The beautifulest is back. Nice!

Maybe Mr. Chae has enough stuff to do? Gotta see and wait i guess. Thanks for listing the Korean caster/commentator lineup, i was interested in seeing it. Didn't find it on liquipedia. Also Park Sang Hyun is from MSL, or?
Also on topic, she seems to care about the game and a female character is always welcome given all the other casters/commentators are male. So i'm happy she's coming back!

Finally! Awesome! Glad she will be back.

I don't speak Korean, but maybe a lot of you guys do! Is that why everyone is so excited about having her back? I never understood her so I don't feel any difference in the casting quality with or without her.
But on a different note: Congrats to Lee Hyun Joo on the newborn!
