On the January 29 broadcast of MBC’s 'Radio Star' Lunar New Year special, Legendary Starcraft player Lim Yo Hwan appeared alongside Jo Hyun Jae, Lee Eun Gyeol, Orbit, and Park Young Jin.

Lim Yo Hwan, widely known as SlayerS_'BoxeR', was one of the most iconic figures in eSports history. He was often referred to as "The Terran Emperor" due to his dominance in the early years of Starcraft, particularly with the Terran race, which he revolutionized with innovative strategies and micromanagement skills during the early 2000s.

Host Kim Gook Jin introduced Lim Yo Hwan by saying, “He was the man who kept PC Bangs (internet cafes) across the country in business,” highlighting his past popularity. Lim Yo Hwan then surprised everyone by revealing, “Back then, my person fan café had the second most members, right behind first place TVXQ.” He created Team Orion which later went on to become one of the most legendary eSports franchises of all-time, SK Telecom T1 (SKT T1).

When Yoo Se Yoon mentioned that Lim Yo Hwan had done many commercials due to his fame, Lim Yo Hwan responded, “I filmed a telecom commercial with Jun Ji Hyun and a laptop (Intel) ad with Girls’ Generation.”

He also shared a funny anecdote, saying that when he told his wife, Kim Ga Yeon, that he was a fan of Girls’ Generation, she rushed over to the filming set.

A clip of the old commercial was then shown as archive footage, and viewers couldn’t help but laugh when they noticed Lim Yo Hwan wearing his wedding ring on his ring finger.

Kim Ga Yeon had previously appeared on a variety show with Lim Yo Hwan a decade ago, where she proudly shared, “Whenever Girls’ Generation appeared on TV, I would ask him, ‘Are they prettier, or am I prettier?’ Without hesitation, he always said I was.”

The couple married in 2011 and have two daughters together. Currently, Lim Yo Hwan is a streamer and a professional Poker player.
