Why you started to play yoyo and peopled inspired you to play ?
It all started in 1999. I was tired with PC games because that is my only hobby before yo yo.So I found new hobby and I wanted more active which are more interesting hobby than PC games.
And one day I saw THP show in TV, so I decided I started to play yo yo. The person that really inspired me to play is Bang-he is first president in Korea yoyo club.Mostly of Korean spinners are inspired from him.Another people do inspired me to play more is Han.He always pushing me and my rival since i was a kid.But not to forget all the 2A players in the world that really inspired me to play.

What you think about local scene and international scene ?
Nowdays Korea yo yo peoples situation is great!This year(2007) will be memorable very succesful year about Korea spinners because Korea yo yo performance team 'YONJOY' did so many performance.And seeing many greatful rookies appearance from the campaign and we are hope the successful generation will be change.Especially in 1A/4A/5A Division.But from 2002 to 2005, we had very hard time beacuse a lot of people stop yoyoing.And we get tired playing yoyo and stop for a while.But after 2006 it seem the light shine again,and we had more good situation and it last until now.We have many competition and performance in this year..It feels like "Ultra Super Mega Hyper" succesful year
And for international scene i think that no one can catch up japanese system, trick and innovation.Except some of the top players represent in each countries.I started to think all of trick level in the world will be delayed during many time to time.Of course, i can't deny there is many good players in south Asia example Malaysia,Singapore,Hong Kong,China,and USA.For the progress i see in japan player that makes me think that Japanese will still reign supreme in getting 1st place in the world forever.On my view based on trick i just can't see perfectly new develop trick in the world since 2005Aafter Sector-Y appearance and disappearance it seem like yoyo tricks evolution are reach it limit.See in X-Div evolution , Slack,Tangler, Grind and any other innovated tricks appear in this periods and it just can be remodified or beong to revolve around and make think this evolution reached the limits.

Your wishlist in coming life in your yoyoing career ?
To sww many player create great Freestyle or trick Combo and that is the most important.That is the future spinners trends and not to forget hoping more for more player involved in Artistic Performance Division.Want a equalization on world ranking except for Japanese player..
Nowadays big 4 powerful country in the yoyo world is Japanese/HK/USA/South Asia.For Korean we just don't have interested to get to the top only
interested about play, play, and play.So I think Korean spinners evolve in a different ways.

What do you think about AP doesn't have this year ?
I want Spinworkx be care about less important country like Korea because many players start to continue their study that started on March and mostly Korean players can't attend to AP.
AP is all Asian spinners festival but I think Spinworkx care only about Japanese and South Asia.
I know company must get profit, so Spinworkx must care about big market country likes Japan or South Asia.They never ask Korean about the postponed of AP and also the date of AP starting .But as I know Spinworkx do ask Japanese about AP.Hearing this just making me a dissatisfaction.
AP is great festival but AP doesn't have good relationship event.It's a festival but not only just competition.
We are trying make friendship is only personal responsibility in AP but for some reason it's just not good on the already situation.I want AP have more 'make friendship event'

Describe me the best and the worst moment of your life in yoyoing ?
All of my yo yo life, always.I think start and play yoyo is most lucky event in my life.
One thing that i really hate thats is getting 2A 1st place in national during 7years.But now i got the 1st place title in past event but i just lucky to get it because Han didn't join it...

I have noticed that korea yoyoer have 2 different group.Is it true or not and why is this happening ?
Ah...Its a long time story and let the past be past.Now all people are getting into one family but certain people do really don't want us to be family

Last word for the current player and to new player ?
Ok ny last word is to play more and practice that is really important but the more important thing is the people, who meet with yoyo or because yo yo and that makes your life more valuable.
Enjoy yo yo always, with people. It's my last word.


Wow that are really the longest interview i had done.Anyway I enjoy the inteview session i did on 1 A.M and do really talk about it...
Hope that Korea yoyoing scene will not replenish and keep on yoyoing..
