"...he have been received peculiar attention from fans after his leaving. Regarding this, he explained, 'I`ve been in the hospital for a while due to my father`s operation. Now I`m taking a rest.'

He also stated, 'The surgery went well; there aren`t any noticeable problems. I`m fine, no need to worry.' "

It seems Korean SC2 players with father's bad health status is common thing.

Zest GSL season 1 2014 said his father could not make it because he was in hospital.
Rogue (I GOT THE NAME RIGHT!) father passed away

And now Rain...

Ah, this was probably what they were talking about when I was in the press room.

Holy shit. I feel bad about feeling bad about his taking a rest now. I was pissed that I wouldn't get to see my favorite player compete for a while and possibly retire, but a rest because you donated one of your internal organs...puts things into perspective.

Also love how he not only didn't flaunt it publicly for attention but didn't even bring it up at all in his tweet about taking a rest from SC2. Seems like an amazing dude...first it was Flash mentioning how the only person besides his family he confided in about his retirement was Rain, then this. Archangel protoss indeed.

Yeah, I think there have been numerous other people who have sited Rain as well. Pretty interesting stuff!

His father had a cirrhosis. This disesase (no reason stated in the article) can be due to hepatitis, alcoholism and sometimes cancer.

In my opinion every child should do this for his/her parents, but still really amazing by Rain. This again shows that he is one of the good guys in SC. Hopefully he will come back better and stronger than ever after his break.
