To celebrate Jin Air Green Wings' Proleague Round 2 victory and JinAir sOs's triumph at the IEM World Championship, sponsoring company Jin Air have decided to feature the progaming team on one of their airliners. Jin Air marketing director and avid progaming fan Cho Min Hyeon had previously hinted at this promotion on Twitter after sOs won the IEM World Championship.
sOs's image has been painted onto the tail fin of the plane, while the rest of the players have been painted onto the body. It is the first plane in Jin Air's history that has been custom painted in such a manner.
The airliner, a B737-800, will travel the Kimpo-Jeju route in Korea starting on May 30th.
I want that plane to make one, and ONLY one, international flight - to bring $O$ to Blizzcon so Blizzard can tape it and use it in the sickest intro video ever.

and then as he walks down the isle with the crowd standing and cheering him as he strolls, he takes on the persona of FirebatHero and gives the grandest of ceremonies

Thanks for letting us know. What would impress you, exactly?
you ignoring me would
Quick Zealously, give this guy youre undivided attention.
Also (general question): Is "SoS" officially a "were doing it for the lols" meme/trolljob? or are people still just fucking up when they write his name. $O$ or sOs - either way, the O is the only capital...*twitch*
It's starting to give me head trauma I hope its a meme... I can accept that

Every progamer does their own thing with capitalization. That's how we can have Liquid HerO and CJ Entus herO. sOs capitalizes his name that way. As for $O$, he tweeted this after winning his second $100,000 tournament:
And then a few days later, the GSL displayed his name that way for one chart in his playoff match. So $O$ just sticks now.

It certainly feels like it's gained some traction over the course of this Proleague season, and the viewer counts (and live crowds at the matches) seem to agree. It's not BW or LoL, but it's grown.

P.S - SWEET RIDE JIN AIR.
caring at all about the arbitrary capitalization of pro gamers' battle tags is fucking hilarious and trolling people who care is correct to do
This is awesome, shame it's only for domestic flights though, I'd throw money at Jin Air to fly on that beauty. If Jin Air keep up their performances maybe they'll earn their own personal jet so Maru and hopefully $O$ can fly to Blizzcon in style.
$O $ICK! Doesn't matter what anyone if it's not international flight or whatever, having Starcraft progamers on a plane is so cool. I wonder if any of Maru's friends and classmates will take that plane, probably be pretty funny.

It's his name, and everything he stands for!
Nah it just happened a comically large number of times during his Blizzcon/IEM runs so I figured it developed into something more than an accident. I can't keep up with the trends dude

Couldn't bring him to the US (737-800 would only make it like 70% of the way there). Maybe could do a domestic flight and still film it.
