Hello I am Hyuk Gyu Kim, Samsung's alpaca and AD carry Deft.
Some would have guessed already but I am no longer with Samsung from today.
There are so many thankful people for last 2 years in MVP even until now, and it is difficult to say this in words so I will deliver my message by writing it ã… ã…
First of all coach Choi Sang Yoon who hired me when neither I wasn't good nor had anything he had always believed me and led me to success, coach Choi Myeong Won who approached me not like a coach but like a close friend, coach Choi Woo Bum , Gwan Hyung who would always give me helpful advices to boost back my confidence up when I was in a slump or was starting to lose it quickly, Cheonju who had always been friendly despite my rude comments haha, Dade who had given me many advices regarding being a pro player, Da yoon, who had helped me to get my mentality back in track when I got frustrated.
I thank all the blue teammates for playing with me when I have a mentality of an elementary kid for 2 years,
In Kyu who always felt like a real brother haha, Seong Yeong would had given me many advices, Mata who had taught me a lot and been my friend, Hyungseok who seems to be quiet but is actually really talkative, and imp who had always inspired me to work better and become a better player that I am now whenever I started losing skills, and deputy chief Chiseon who took care of all the players really well. I really thank you all and hope you guys all do well.
From now I will play in China, and although I am unsure if I will get a chance to play in Korea again, but I really thank all my fans and I hope you guys don't forget me too quickly ã… ã…
Wow.. This turned out longer than I expected.
Thank you again everybody

Hello everybody, it's Pawn
It's been about 1 year since I joined the Samsung roster
It was all really fun and I think I was really fortunate that I was given a chance to join the team
I thank all my team mates Gwan Hyung, Cheonju, Da Yoon, Hyuk Gyu, Seung Bin, Se Hyoung, In Kyu, Hyoung Seok, and Dade who taught me so much about mid lane.
Additionally I want to say thanks to Young Jin, Se Hoon, Coach Myeongwon Choi, Coach Yoon Seong Young, Coach Choi Woo Bum, Coach Choi Yoon Sang and
I hope you all do well wherever you go
Lastly thanks to all my fans and I will work hard in China. Thank you.

I don't know what's going to happen to all my 3 year old family-like team mates lolololol but I wish everybody can meet up again in the same situation? I wish I get to annoy Hyuk Kyu again, at the same time it's a relief that I do not have to deal with drunk imp anymore, I am also curious if I will miss Mata's scolding, nagging at Won Seok, Hyeong Suk's Singed q, and all the other team members Will I ever be able to have such a fun professional career again… Seriously big thanks to those people who endured through my bad personality to reach where we are now; wow I don't even have picture with my team mates. Honestly imp and Homme were getting boring lol. I am worried about imp because he needs me to stop him from causing troubles. I will miss fans who loved Samsung a lot, fans who attended every fan meetings, I really felt good to have fans visiting me during the meeting, and I was really happy in my birthday because of all my fans. Thank you , I will come back in a better opportunity.
