He's Back as Licensed Pro-Gamer^^

Much thanks to Babyjunnie501 for uploading the teaser of Kim Hyung Jun GAME Become a ProGamer Season2 which will be shown on MBC in January. Much thanks as well to Ode for the tip on her blog.

I have followed season 1 of this show and I really had a fun watching this and knowing Shark and other pro-gamers of MBC. I certain Team Liquid will sub this again. If you want to see some of season 1 vids and other stuff just click Game on the labels list below.

Flashback : Ep 1 to 10 MBC Game 'Hyung Joon Becomes a Progamer'

This video was posted by 미니민~~ on SS601.com. It's a collection of some of the highlights from episode 1 to 10 of MBC Game 'Hyung Joon Becomes a Progamer'. The video is more than 9 minutes and it's pretty well done by whoever did it. While watching the video I cannot help myself but flashback as well on how each episode gave me a good laugh.

I was just at Kim Hyung Joon thread @ soompi a while a go and read the translation of greenteadrinker on the message that Shark gave to Maknae that made him cry much inside the dorm of the progamers. If you watched that part, I guess you noticed that Maknae can't even looked at the TV when Shark was talking. I guess it's too much for him to hear a dear friend's farewell massage. Shark's message starts at mark 7:29 on the above vid.

Here let me share with you, the traslation of greenteadrinker over at Kim Hyung Joon thread @ soompi.

Btw, when greeteadrinker posted this she made screencaps from the episode shown last night. I won't be posting here the screencaps anymore as they're too many.

Hyung Jun ah, annyeong!
I really can't believe these 10 weeks have already passed...
I think time has passed too fast.
From when we first met, now regarding each other as friends...
A teacher with his disciple, as buddies...
To be able to spend this period of 10 weeks together, it was so enjoyable & happy.
Together during filming whenever I met with difficult and unseemly moments
You led us well...
to be able to safely finish filming.
As you were also able to complete your experience as a practice partner..
I wanted to tell you how very thankful I am.
To our director and coach and team members, you always brought laughter.
Because you created a happy & enjoyable atmosphere, I am grateful to you.
You must come back to play!

Just before the show ended Maknae left a message to everyone on the whiteboard at the training room of MBC Game Hero. You may click HERE to read what Maknae wrote.

I told you too last night that Maknae gave a present to the progamers, right? And that's the photoshoot. Here's one of the photos from that photoshoot that was uploaded by Shark on his Cyworld. Thanks again to greenteadrinker for posting this on Kim Hyun Joong Thread 2 Soompi.

'love this shot!

Maknae's gift and Shark's message

I just finished watching the last episode of MBC Game 'Hyung Joon Becomes a Progamer' and I'm surely going to miss this show. This show has been my weekly dose not only of Maknae but as well as good laugh.

Geez, Maknae has been crying quite a lot this month. First was when he talked about his grandfather on Music High, this taping of episode 10, last Monday when he's telling his listeners on MuHigh about PD noona and writer noona and last was when after the airing of MuHigh when he's bidding goodbye to them. Sigh... it's been an emotional month for him. I hope that he's okay now and that there is someone who's comforting him.

Anyway, have you guys finished watching the last episode? Well yes or no let me share something with you that LHL sent to my email this afternoon and a few info which I got from Kim Hyung Joon Thread @ soompi that was shared by greenteadrinker [she's a great source when it comes to MBC Game ^^... thanks!]

The following are photos from Episode 10 [part 4 of 8 if you're watching from YT]. This photoshootaccording to greenteadrinker is a present of Maknae to the boys of progamers. [yah! he's been very generous to the progamers ^^] . Such a sweetie, righ? Maknae must have really been very very grateful for the support that he's been getting from these young men despite their busy schedules.





I wish someone will post the clearer and bigger photos of all that we've seen on the show. It's so nice looking at these progamer projecting in from of the camera. I think they had so much fun doing it of course with the help from Maknae. Btw, I love their jump poses!

And here's another thing that I'm shoving here which again I got from Kim Hyung Joon Thread @ soompi courtesy of greenteadrinker once again.

Shark's message that he on his cyworld this morning 03.31.10

Only take out with full credits!

Today is the day of the last broadcast
During filming, although it was a bit difficult
Because this is the final parting, it will be very regretful and emotional
During this period, it was very tough for
Soon Ok nuna Han Kyu hyung Bo Seok hyung Yi Yong Jun PD nim
Yoon Hee nuna Mi Yong nuna Yoon Sook nuna including all the rest of the hyungs and nunas...
Very hard they worked

Thank you for taking care of me right till the end

We will meet again^^

너무 수고 많으셨어요 *heart sign*

마지막 까지 저 챙겨주셔서 감사해염^^*

다시 만나욥^^


P.S. I wish someone who is kind will translate the farewell message that Maknae wrote on the whiteboard. I tear up on that scene together with Maknae. T_T

But you know what? Today at work, I've read 2 farewell messages in my email, I just realized why people write these kinds of messages in the first place. They are not creating a ‘farewell/goodbye’ messages, they are making message of appreciation. I'm sure Maknae also did the same thing... thanking everyone who helped me for the past 3 months.

Hyung Jun with the player Certificate

I actually have already an idea that Maknae will be getting his certificate but just kept it to myself because my source doesn't know the exact details though she knows that he got it.

Seeing episode 10 where Maknae has been given the certificate made me so happy. My doubt is finally over. Congratulations Maknae!

But yeah, I still want to know what the guy told him and how he's able to get it. Geez, we've to wait for 2 weeks for the translation to be out as I read on TeamLiquid that ep 9 subs will not be out until next week. =(

Anyway, thanks to Imane for posting shoving these photos here.

[Unsubbed] MBC Game 'Hyung Joon Becomes Pro-gamer' Ep 10

This is the last episode of MBC Game 'Hyung Joong Becomes a Progamer'. Kinda feeling sad about it. It's been three months that Maknae has been providing us good laugh via esports.

As the show comes to its end, I hope that Maknae's friendship with the progamers will still continue. I really like how it is in reel and hopefully in real too.

Geez, I'll definitely be missing seeing the tandem of Maknae and Shark. As well as seeing the other progamers supporting Maknae.

REPOST WITH FULL CREDITS ONLY



MBC Game variety program ‘SS501 HyungJoon, To Be A Pro-Gamer’ shows SS501 Kim HyungJoon, who transformed into a trainee to become a pro-gamer, having sad tears at the last filming venue for the program.

To become a pro-gamer, Kim HyungJoon struggled by himself to pass the 2nd selection match for pro-gamer and MBC Game Hero self warm-up match. Players in MBC Game Hero prepared their sincere farewell messages to Kim HyungJoon. Kim HyungJoon was totally ignorant of the special event, he went to the dorm alone and was tearful after checking on the videos, he could not hold back anymore and finally burst into tears.

Kim HyungJoon said “I am always worried if I am a hindrance to the player’s practices, and I am sorry about that. Through this opportunity, I understand how difficult this occupation is and how much effort one pro-gamer has to put in to get the title of ‘pro’.” He also expressed his gratefulness “Though I have devoted generous practice time for myself, I want to specially say my thanks and sorry to player Seo KyungJong who helped with my practice every day in order to improve the lacking in my skills.”

Kim HyungJoon gave Players of MBC Game Hero a little gift of memories in return for their farewell event. In the short period of 3 months, Kim HyungJoon shared joys and sorrows with players of MBC Game HERO, Seo KyungJong, Yeom BoSung, Kim JaeHoon, Kim DongHyun, Lee JungHoon, etc, and has prepared a commemoration photo shooting in one studio to keep their memories.

Having met the players at 2pm on 28-Mar, Kim HyunJoong encourages Yeom BoSung, who led the team to the finals in ShinHan Bank Winners League 09-10 Playoff, and congratulates player ‘JjakDong’ Kim DongHyun who takes the roaster seat for the first time, showing his deep affection and concern for the players.

On this day of filming, all members were wearing MBC Game HERO’s uniform where they had a group photo shoot as well as solo photo shoot, and they flaunt their charisma with their hidden talents. Kim HyungJoon went up to each and every one of the players and enthusiastically made various poses that matches each one of them. His image of working hard in order to leave good gifts for them caught a lot of attention.

In this day’s broadcast, Kim HyungJoon visited HWASEUNG OZ practice room and met with idol player Lee JaeDong. He will show his unique image by dancing to Techtonik with Lee JaeDong and of course, practicing ‘Binggeul Binggeul (U-KISS)’ for 2010 MSL Selection Ceremony,

MBC Game’s representative program ‘SS501 HyungJoon, To Be A Pro-Gamer’ last episode will be on 31-Mar at 4pm.

To refresh you of what episode 8 is all about, this is the episode where they played soccer then had that get together meal. ^^

As always, will be back later with my thoughts on this episode. ^^

Preview : MBC Game 'Hyung Joon Becomes a Progamer' Ep 10

We're now on episode 10 of MBC Game 'Hyun Joong Becomes a Progamer' this week. Any idea if this is the last episode where we will see Maknae? During the show's press releases early on, it was reported that Maknae will be doing 10 episodes. If it is true then, this will be the last episode where we will see Maknae on the show. But... yeah but... I know that there are requests suggesting that he still be at the 2nd season, which I believe will be in May. Let's see how the PD and DSP will decide on this. But then, May might just be the start of the busy schedule of SS501. Let's wait and see then.

Well actually, someone already told me the result though I want a confirmation myself because it's not really clear. Even on Kim Hyung Joon thread @ Soompi the gals over there are kinda not sure of the end result [unless there's a post that i missed reading].

Anyway, here's translated news regarding episode 9. Thanks OdeDS for the translation she shared on your blog. I've read this on SS601.com yesterday but couldn't quite decipher the content when I used machine translator.

[22.03] SS501 HyungJun, a round of match with the next generation leads of MBC Game

credit: nate news + 601 + ode@blog

HyungJun becomes a progamer, Episode 9 to broadcast on 24th.

Previously on the 17th at 4pm, MBC game Hero Center held an exciting match at the Munrae-dong. It is none other than the 'MBC Game Hero - final assessment match for the gamer trainees' which caused such enthusiasm.



Through MBC Game's welcomed corner 「SS501 HyungJun becomes a progamer」, for the sake of Kim HyungJun who has been studiously going through a training period, this final assessment match was specially carried out for him. To Kim HyungJun who experienced failure by having been eliminated twice in the Joon progamer programme, PD Ha Tae-gi will be giving this final chance to him to prove the worth of his magical hands. Especially this time, Kim HyungJun left an invitation on the noticeboard of official homepage, he showed his will of wanting to prove his skills in front of the fans, this in return, recorded about 5000 views to it in total, thus attracting more attention.

On this day, all the members of HERO game visited the finals of the '13th game round', consisting of gagman Kim Hyung-in, which was held prior to Hyungjun's game. The 2:2 teamplay of Kim Hyung Jun, Seo Kyung-jong VS Kim Hyung-in, Im Bo-sung, was carried out after that. Right until the last teamplay event, fan service could be seen throughout too.

In the 'MBC game hero - final assessment match for gamer trainees' which was held before the teamplay event, and to be broadcasted later on, an intelligent brain toss by Lee Jung-hoon will be shown in the programme as well. On the 24th, Elite School League's championship experiencer Kim Dong-hyun will be turning into the rival of Kim HyungJun and will rival against his glamour. The next generation leads who are gathered together through MBC Game Hero, their skills will be revealed through the programme for the first time through TV like this.

For the sake of 「Becomes a progamer」, Kim HyungJun's harsh challenge could be confirmed through March 24, Wednesday's MBC Game "SS501 HyungJun becomes a progamer" at 4pm.

Preview : MBC Game 'Hyung Joon Becomes a Progamer' Ep 9

We are down to the last 2 episodes of MBC Game 'Hyung Joon Becomes a Progamer'. Episode 9 will be on Wednesday, March 24 at 4pm.

I wonder if Maknae will be at the 2nd season. In MBC Game webby, there seems to be a clamor for him to be part of season 2. I hope that the PD as well as DSP will consider this as I think that Maknae is doing good in this show. Also his appearance on the show increased the rating of MBC Game.

Thanks to 토마토 for posting on SS601.com.

another dose of maknae from mbc game

Despite the earlier announcement that no cameras are allowed inside the studio where the game was played last night, still fans were able to get away with it and they were able to capture Maknae from their viewfinder.

Here are more photos of Maknae from last night's match that the shutterbug of www.JUNique803.com took. Many thanks to junique for posting on SS601.com.

I find this one pretty nice.
Maknae looks manly here.

aww...mbc game made maknae cry T_T

Prettyboy got some good photos of Maknae in today's game. Their shutterbug captured Maknae with tears on his eyes. Was he crying because it also means goodbye to MBC Game or because he loss?

Ahh... can't wait to watch this next week.

Btw, enlarge the pix... better seen in big images.

[fancam] from today's match of maknae

Fancams and photos are starting to come out. Here's one fancam courtesy of Lady which she shared on SS601.com.

Hope someone will let us know what Maknae is saying and why fans got giddy. ^^

Maknae in today's match [added more photos]

Thanks to 아란 for posting this on SS601.com.

Games that will decide whether Maknae will get his certificate or now are over and the result? Hmm... let's wait for the official announcement, k?

Anyway, here are some photos from tonight's game which i believe will be broadcast next week. DoublePass was at the venue to give support to Maknae. I'm sure there'll be more photos coming later. ^^ Thanks to DoublePass shutterbug!

As MBC Game 'Hyung Joong Becomes a Progamer' is about to end. There is a post on MBC Game notice board according to OdeDS [tweets] that is asking viewers whether they want him to be in Season 2. If you're to ask me, I would definitely say yes. ^^ And I hope that the PD and DSP are considering this. Honestly, in two months I don't think it'll be easy for Maknae to get a certificate. I can see that Maknae is determined to become one, so I guess he'll do better in season 2 which is May if given the chance. Likewise in may he can compete again in another Courage match.
