I used to be โthe worst studentโ in English class when I was in high school.
Iโve never lived abroad, Iโve 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
โKorea is one of the strongest regions in the world, but there arenโt many people connecting Korean Tekken scene to the global scene. I think you can become the bridge between two.โ
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 didnโt fully believe in myself. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported me on this journey๐
Some people might think, โItโs 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 LOT๐
But I want to keep sharing the stories of players from Korea and all around the world. So Iโll continue working hard to improve every day!!!
Thank you for believing in me๐ซถ I will work hard, and always try my best!
