Would be great if someone knows where Coach Kang posted and can translate what it says. Reddit user dokdo812 gave a rough translation:
Rough translation: Hello. This is Kang Dong Hoon from IM. While it is true that Mvp is considering his future paths, it is not true that he retired. I'm still talking a lot with Mvp. We're pleased to see this much support from a lot of people still. We ask you to continue your interest and support. (Mvp is laughing that he got "force-retired"~ haha)

Can't wait for Mvp to win his fifth GSL.

As much as I love the fact that Mvp is not retired, if he is not playing professional SCII, then how the hell is he making money, does he have another job? (It's obvious that the amount of money he made in 2014 is not enough to keep him fed all the way till now

According to liquipedia, he made about $350K gross. That's a pretty crappy middle class for 10 years, especially given that 3+ of those years are already gone.

How is $35K per year "pretty crappy" when he doesn't need to support a family?

Watch Mvp enter the scene with a nice big tan. He's probably relaxing in beaches while his wrist heals

I bet he doesn't come back. He shouldn't if it really causes him a lot of pain. If he's feeling better or had surgery done to help him and really wants to play then I welcome him back.

With $350k, if he invests it properly and use it appropriately it should last him a lot of time once he steps out of the SC2 world and into the real world. However didn't he say he was using his prize money to help his family out because his family was very poor? I recall reading something about this a long time ago.

Get a webcam, interact with fans online, stream an hour or two each day and you got yourself some extra income as well as fun with fans.

Lol. I knew it. It's not an official retirement until multiple news sites produce an article announcing his retirement.

Except he supports his family, also he is married. And I'm not sure if liquipedia counts his salary too.

G5L - the King of Wings is coming back..
Least that's the hype I'd like to see if he returns for LotV.
|

Hooray!!!! The King! I don't even care if he will be as good as he was or not. I just want to see him occasionally bring some innovative strategies like he did in the past.

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development the median salary in South Korea in 2012 was $36 thousand US a year.
So yes, he would be a middle Korean with $350k winnings, except he would have the advantage of having it front loaded.

Funny that he doesn't come out and say something about it
