I've been meaning to post this a while, these Interviews are from 2 months ago but I only just got round to subbing them today. This is meant to show abit of maru's personality and why he is jokingly called the 'EXID Terran'. (EXID are a kpop group).

This group, EXID have a song called 'up and down' thats been pretty huge the past few months or so in korea and its pretty damn catchy (in korean its oui-alleh ? oui = up and alleh = down, remember that bit). Before you watch the other vids you need to be familier with the song~ + Show Spoiler +


No really, listen to the song first. So lets rewind back to January the 6th of this year. Maru beat marineking in a mech vs bio TvT on Merry go Round, and here is part of his MVP interview where the origins of his strategies are revealed to the public. (make sure to turn on subtitles) + Show Spoiler +


Isn't he cute? ^_^~ Anyway the next week wasn't so happy. Jinair faced SKT1 and Maru lost in his game vs soO but was still chosen to play the ace match where he met Dark who was able to win on king sejong, depriving us all of the MVP interview we wanted The week after that however, Jinair were up against CJ and Maru won his match against Bbyong to secure a 3-1 victory for his team. In another mech vs bio TvT, the EXID terran shows us his kpop inspired strategy yet again for defeating his opponents. + Show Spoiler +


So by my records this makes EXID 2-0 in proleague rite^^ ? (there are sections of the videos that aren't subbed well/at all and some of my subs might be wrong but the general gist is definitely there. Feel free to send me corrections and i can update them if you think anythings wrong)

Edit 25/03/15 Maru and Dream pre NSSL finals interview + Show Spoiler +

Comforting to see that Korean casters have as much trouble getting answers out of Maru as everyone else.

Is he really 19? That's insane. He still looks 15.

Not sure how he would be more than a year apart of his korean age in western age?

He turns 18 in July, you have to take into consideration in korean age everybody gets 1 year older in the lunar new year, so he gets 1 year more for that, then koreans are 1 year when they are born, so they can be 2 years older until their birthday

You start at 1 year old in Korea and then you gain one year every January 1st.

Let's say you were born on June 5th 2000:

- In international age you are 14 until June 5th 2015 where you'll turn 15.
- In Korean age, you are 16 since January 1st 2015 and will remain 16 until January 1st 2016.

During the period between January 1st and your birthday, you are always 2 years older in Korean age and when you birthay happens, you "catch up" to the standard 1year difference.

Aha I see I knew about the starting at 1 year, but didn't know that you gain a year on January 1st. Interesting, Thanks.

johnbo,

Thanks for the topic. I found this hilarious fluff, and made me want to root for Maru that much more!

Also I can now add two more words to my Korean vocabulary.

I just googled the English lyrics for this. Apparently the song contains the phrase "stop vaguely touching me". Oooooooookaaaaaaaay...

yeah the korean is 위 아래, which i think would be wee arae in english, but i thought oui-alleh approximated the pronunciation better.
