I used to be “the worst student” in English class when I was in high school. I’ve never lived abroad, I’ve never studied overseas. While most of my classmates left Korea to go to universities in other countries, I decided to stay in Korea. The reason was simple, 'I didn't wanna use English anymore'. Then I started Tekken, and I fell in love with both the game and the community. One day, my mentor CBM told me “Korea is one of the strongest regions in the world, but there aren’t many people connecting Korean Tekken scene to the global scene. I think you can become the bridge between two.” Making English content was totally okay. But English commentary during the live stream was a completely different challenge. I was terrified of being judged for my weird grammar, my pronunciation, and all the mistakes I would inevitably make. But so many people encouraged me, helped me to improve, and believed in me when I didn’t fully believe in myself. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported me on this journey🙏 Some people might think, “It’s just one single commentary for a Master event." But for me, this felt like overcoming one of the scariest obstacles of my life. More importantly, it felt like taking a step toward the dream that brought me into the FGC in the first place, to become a bridge between Korean Tekken and the global fighting game community. I know I still have to practice and learn A LOT😅 But I want to keep sharing the stories of players from Korea and all around the world. So I’ll continue working hard to improve every day!!! Thank you for believing in me🫶 I will work hard, and always try my best!
