He was the only foreigner (non-Korean) to win an OSL and went on to become a major celebrity in Korea, starring in reality TV shows like "Non-Summit". This interview focuses entirely on the Brood War scene in South Korea and is one of the rare interviews with someone who was extremely competitive during the Vanilla StarCraft days.
