The following day, Sonic issued a statement on his BBS, apologizing for his absence. He explained that he had resorted to taking medicine to get by the past week, a week which included the production of the FIX 9th Sonic Starleague Grand Finals. (



Sonic currently works full-time as the CEO of Sinbal Farm, a popular shoe company. On top of his responsibilities as CEO, he dedicates an enormous amount of time and effort towards his passion, Starcraft Broodwar. A single cast will span anywhere between two to seven hours for Sonic, and countless more hours are spent on the organization side of his leagues.



With such a strenuous work schedule, it is perhaps surprising to hear that he hadn't collapsed sooner from overworking himself. In his statement, Sonic promises to adjust his condition and to take care of his health, so that this incident does not occur again.
