Source: DCInside SC2 Forums

(Wiki)aLive recently posted on the DCInside SC2 forum that he had completed his military service and will be giving progaming another try. His post is as follows:

"Hi everyone, it's the invisible Terran Han Lee Seok.

As of today, I've finished my social services duty [a non-military replacement for mandatory military service] and returned to civilian life.

It was such a longer time than I expected and I thought it might never end, but the day finally arrived.

My original plan was to quit progaming and look for different work without even looking back, but as the day approached, no work really came to mind nor were there many things I could do just because I wanted to.

So I've come to write these few words as I think about giving progaming another shot.

I think I'll meet you guys through streaming [he did].

I'll write just this for now; I want to use my stream to talk about all sorts of things with the fans that liked me and those that disliked me.

I'm really embarrassed to write a community post after just lurking.

Everyone have a good day, and thanks for reading this long post!"

i always liked him

i didn't know there was a social services option instead of military in Korea like there is in Austria. I wonder what his role was.

Why put that he completed his "military service" in the first line when the quote clearly states that he did one of the civic service options instead? It's inaccurate. It should say compulsory service or something instead. Not everyone in Korea serves in the military, some do time as police or doing other civil services instead and others are completely exempt for medical reasons. The civic service options are for longer periods of time than the army, so most choose the army.
Skill is relative.

Welcome back aLive, most entertaining player of 2017.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

The entertaining terran player that a lot of people called Harry Potter because of his resemblance. After aLive was gone, RagnaroK took over the nickname Harry Potter. Less facial resemblance but his glasses matched.
