This is the Suyeong who fell in rank in his class when he continued to lose... Because of his reckless feelings, his dream of becoming a pro began to crumble.
He came to Japan in order to rest; it was here that he unexpectedly played a game of go with Hikaru.
Using his true go, he [still] lost... From this bitterness, he cried. Suyeong used this to his advantage in order to recover.
