He has participated in Tekken at EVO before, and was recently a part of Street Fighter Crash that took place in Korea.
The very first episode of of VSL The Fist took place earlier today and it was very entertaining. Though the show is completely in Korea, it was not hard to decipher what was taking place. We are definitely looking forward to more episodes.
