For those who haven't seen the Huk vs Aria game, it caused a lot of silly speculation in the community from husky's cast to Day9's daily, as well as everything else in general.
Here's a link to the game:


So, I ended up doing an interview with him. Please show him support and remember he didn't have to do this interview, so please show respect. If you have any questions or anything else, just PM me on TL.
Thank you to Turtle for translating.

"You recently gained a lot of attention with your game vs Huk after it was posted everywhere and there was a lot of speculation about your identity. What do you think about the recent attention and speculation?"
아리아선수님 헉 선수와의 경기 후에 인기가 많은 팬들의 관심사가 되셨는데요~ 많은 외국팬분들이 아리아 선수를 알고싶어 해서요~ 아리아님에게 집중되는 이 시선들을 어떻게 생각하세요?



전 그 게임이 그렇게 화제가 될 줄 몰랐어요. 그 게임을 보시면 왼쪽 라인 멀티를 아무 견제도 못하고 그대로 줬어요. 정말 못했다 생각하는데... 근데 외국에서는 유튜브에 동영상도 해설해서 만드시고 하시니까 신기하고 기쁘고 했는데도 한편으론 굉장히 부끄러워요. 관심은 정말 좋죠 뿌듯하고요 기분도 정말 좋아요 !
I didn’t know that game would be so popular. When you look at the game, I was not able to harass the left side of the expansions and just gave it to him. I thought i did terrible... By the way, because foreign community put commentaries and put videos on Youtube, I was kind of amazed and happy, but i also felt shy at the same time. I like the attention, and i feel great about it.

-----------------------------

Were you on a BW team or playing professionally just to clarify rumors?"
아리아 선수에 관한 루머가 많은데요. 혹시 스타1에 팀이나 프로로 활동하셨나요??



아뇨 전 스타1에서는 클랜같은 것도 없었고 가끔 즐겨 하는 정도였어요.
No, in Starcraft 1, I did not even have a clan and i just enjoyed it from time to time

-----------------------------

"What are your plans in SC2?"
이제 스타2에 관한 계획이 어떻게 되세요?



지금은 아마추어지만 프로게이머가 되고싶어요.
Right now, I am just an amateur, but I want to become a professional starcraft player.


-----------------------------


Are you looking for a team to join to further your career?
들어가고 싶으신 팀이 있으신가요?



oGs팀에 정말 들어가고싶어요. 스타2를 시작할 때 오지에스 선수들이 경기하는 걸 제일 먼저 보았고 잘 하는 선수들이 너무 많아서요.
I really want to join oGs team, because i saw oGs players playing when i first started playing starcraft 2. Plus, there are a lot of good players.

-----------------------------


What race did you play in SC1 and why did you pick Zerg in SC2?
스타1에선 종족이 뭐였어요? 그리고 스타2에선 왜 저그를 선택하셨나요?



스타1에서도 저그였어요. 그냥 단순히 스타1에서 저그를 했으니까 스타2에서도 저그를 하고싶어서였어요. 저그가 테란이나 토스에 없는 매력을 느껴서 였고요.
I was zerg in starcraft 1 too. I just played zerg in sc2 because i played zerg in sc1. Zerg had some kind of attraction that terran or protoss did not have.

-----------------------------

Who is the best player in sc2? Who was your mentor in sc1?
스타2에서 가장 잘하는 선수가 누구라고 생각하시나요? 스타1 선수중에서는 누가 멘토였나요?
sc1: lee jae dong (jaedong)
sc2: DRG

박수호 선수를 정말 좋아해요. 한국서버 래더에서도 상위권을 차지하는 모습을 봐왔었고 이번에 mlg에서 장민철선수와 듀얼사이트에서 한 경기를 보니 역시 박수호 선수다 했어요. 저는 그 러시를 잘 막질 못해서요.
I like DRG a lot. I saw him getting top place in Korean ladder and at this mlg. I thought it was him when I saw a game between DRG and MC. I can not defend those rushes.


-----------------------------

Has there been anything holding your career back such as school or work?
학교나 스타2외에 다른 일을 병행하시고 계신가요?



아뇨 학교를 다니는 고등학생이고 학교를 다녀 온 후에 스타2를 하거나 해요.
Nope, I am just a high school student and i just play starcraft 2 when i get home.


-----------------------------



Do you have anything to say to your fans who are cheering for you?
아리아 선수를 응원하고 있는 많은 팬들에게 하고싶은 말이 있으신가요?



응원인가요 ? 너무 쑥스럽네요. 원래 응원은 프로게이머들이 받는 거 아닌가요 ? ㅎㅎ ... 아마추어에게 이런 관심 주셔서 감사합니다 ! 정말 너무 기쁘고 더 재미있는 경기가 나왔으면 싶어요 !
Cheering? I am too shy. I thought only Professional gamers would get cheers. Thank you for giving so much attention to an amateur! I am so happy and I wish more fun games would come out.

-----------------------------



I've never done an interview before but I just tried to ask most of the important questions.

Things like streaming are a possibility, but it's all up to him (and his internet which is pretty terrible)... If you have any questions that aren't useless, or anything else, please PM me on TL. Thanks. Hopefully you learned more about Aria! Again, thanks to turtle for translating.

Haha, so much for "Jaedong".

Still he underrates that game somewhat, it was pretty well played.

what was so special about this game is that aria played pretty much exactly how i imagined a recently switched broodwar pro would play and his fp view to look if he has been playing for a long while i wouldn't put too much faith in this guy but damn was he fast.

There are certainly a lot of good amateur Koreans out there.

Saw the same stuff with BW as well.

Should have probably done that. Will get one soon, but it's difficult with time zones.

It's scary how good an amateur like Aria can be, imagine if he's pro. I hope he becomes pro in the future, and be like Leenock and greater. Most of the BW bonjwas started young and I don't see the big speculation of younger age being a factor.
