As always, beware this is a shortened quick translation.

Irena Liu, actress and Jaedong fangirl, was first famous for her appearance on the screen of a SPL game in 2013. This is an interview by s.163.com and FOMOS.

[image loading]

Q: Hello, please introduce yourself.

Irena: Hello everyone, I am an esports fan and my name is Irena. I am an actress from China. I just signed a Korean acting agency, so I can be interviewed here. I am 21 year old.

Q: Thank you for taking this interview. Lots of Korean esports fans will read this interview. Will this give you pressure?


Irena: No pressure. I really like esports, so there is no pressure.

[image loading]

Q: You are Jaedong’s big fan. Is this true?

Irena: Although it is true, I like all players, not just Jaedong. Back then Team Liquid issued my interview, which really surprised me. (Translator: you are welcome ) I was just making conversations with my friend, but he put our conversations into an interview. Anyway, it was fun.

Q: Is Jaedong considered a good-looking guy in China too?

Irena: Yes, and, no (smile). He is just my type. He normally has a poker face and being cool and attractive. But suddenly he can turn into this happy guy who has cute smile.

Q: So he is those cold metrosexual guy (positive), but also warm to women, right?

Irena: Yes.

[image loading]

Q: There are a lot of rising Chinese players.

Irena: The Chinese players are good. But I like the Koreans too. I just really like esports.

Q: So when did you start liking esports?

Irena: 3-4 years ago. I watched StarCraft matches with friends and then I thought it was interesting. I have been into gaming for a long time. StarCraft is my favorite and also WOW and DOTA.

[image loading]

Q: So in China you are model and actress? (Irena has performed commercials of M&M’s and Pizzahut).

Irena: Yeah, and I am doing it at the moment as well. I have dreamed of being an actress when I was young and went to the acting high school. I have been acting since 17.

Q: What shows have you been in?

Irena: I have roles in TV series, commercials, and now I am in an internet ad with EXO (Korean boy band)

Q: Really? Have you taken photos with EXO?

Irena: No we didn’t have photos. Compare to EXO, I like Jaedong better (smile).

Q: Do you come to Korean a lot?

Irena: Yes. I signed with a Korean acting agency and have works to do here. There is a commercial which will be aired soon. Korea is really a good place. I went to esports matches and also like to sit at coffee shops.

[image loading]

Q: You are so pretty, so if you are alone, will there be a lot of men strike a conversation with you?

Irena: There have been several times already. Some strange dudes came talk to me. I just don’t want to talk with them in either Korean or English.

Q: You speak good Korean.

Irena: Not really. My speaking is not good and needs learning. My writing is better. So if there is more things you want to ask in the future, contact me using Kakao talk (smile)

Q: Kim Soo-hyun and Jaedong, who is better looking?

Irena: What (smile)? Jaedong is not those good-looking type, and Jaedong is Jaedong not because of his face. I still ike Jaedong better. Beside Jaedong, I also know other players very well, like Stork. We knew each other when he came to WCG China and had contacts after that. JYP, aLive, and Hyvaa also know me well.

[image loading]

Q: This was planned to be an interview with both you and Jaedong. But he has to focus on practice recently, so he refused. Any words for him?

Irena: He refused interview with me, so I cannot be Jaedong fan anymore (smile). But obviously, Jaedong is one of the best players. I know he values his work to a high degree, so I respect him. I think it’s destiny that Jaedong became a professional player. Players like Jaedong will have a bright future. Jaedong, please accept the interview with me in the future. If you say no again, I will not be your fangirl anymore (smile)!

I guess that's how you become the most consistent progamer of all time. Making sacrifices.

Generic pretty girls are probably the best for most ads though, unless you are one of those expensive elite brands.

Aaaand that's why Jaedong has won the starleague five times.

JD is simply playing hard to get.

It takes more than soup + massage to please him.
