In September our Undead star Seung Hyeon "Space" Park was featured in a Korean newspaper by the name of YoungNam it's the newspaper of Daegu and north of Kyung Sang state. The article is a 2 page long news item. The article pictures can be found below (Scans weren't available, we apologize).

Summary (Courtesy Drum):

Many people always wondered what disease he suffered from and the first thing in the article is its identified as Muscular Atrophy. Space has one fervent prayer from god, that he can continue to have the power to move his fingers... While his body is slowly moving to a "solid state" where he won't be able to move anything at all.

He is personally happy that he can compete online since he can do everything he wants without having to have someone move him around or get on a wheel chair and move around. He's happy to just be able to move his fingers.

The article continues on a sad note as Space's parents feel helpless because they can't provide all the required medical treatment to him because they live in poverty already considering he has been afflicted for a long time with this disease. Space is however still optimistic and is happy with e-Sports. He is happy because he has good friends in the team and that makes the team a very lively place to be in.

The article continues as he talks about Clan Go and the fnatic management, it moves on to topics about how he started Warcraft 3 (His elder brother purchased the WC3 CD and Space played it too and that's how he got attached to it). It goes on to talk about his illness in depth.

The article ends on a positive note as Space wants to live till the age of 30 and while the doctors said he wouldn't live till 20, he is 20 now and still going on strong. So maybe for him there is hope.

NOTE:
The Article was done sometime back and while the content is a bit dated so is the Razer hardware he uses in the article, below you can find Space using SteelSeries hardware.

if medical threatment could help space, let's start a donations account for him. i'd totally help and support him with money. makes me sick that one of the biggest wishes of such a young person is to live 10 more years.

Just wanted to say that this news is up because it's an update on our player, should any of our players be featured in a magazine or paper they will also be mentioned.

It's annoying to read people who have no knowledge of how a team website functions.

nah, i didn't delete any comments here, just annoying that some people think we're trying to publicize space too much. It's not true and couldn't be far from it this is just an article on him and there are many people out there who want to read what's his condition like now.

referring to some posts on other websites btw!
