EPT"At first, I assume that It`d be with great regret; which is not actually. I think it is because I always did my best, achieving what I`ve wanted. I`m happy that I can leave with a smile."
"...My retirement has nothing to do with the operation. Actually, I was supposed to retire right after I left T1. However, mYi gave me a good offer. So I thought that I`d stay one more year for a foreign team, as a new experience. All of these had been planned before Flash decided his retirement."
Since he left SKT T1, He`s thought that he`d like to take a rest; It is quite acceptable, considering the fact that Rain always did his best. However, I could not believe that a player with devastating skills thought about retirement; he was the GSL champion last year.
"Cause I decided my retirement, I felt free. I enjoyed every games I played. I used to have an obsession with victory. I used to yearn for it; however, after I decided my retirement, I just did my best without any desire. The most interesting thing is, that made the game going on."
"Of course, I still can show you results; I got know-hows that were accumulated while playing millions of games. It won't disappear so quickly. However, you should see your own mind. You should keep asking yourself whether you still have a passion for gaming or the reason why you`re doing it. This is what a progamer should do when he/she considers retirement.
Despite all his skills, he determined that it`s the time. He was planning to explain his thoughts to his fans after the operation.
"I want to thank my fans from the bottom of my heart. I`ve received huge support from the fans that made me able to keep progaming. Though I officially announced my retirement, I won`t forget it. Thanks for your consideration about my father."

He said he need to take a rest for 3 months at least. Like Flash, he said that he has no certain future plans for now.
