This is a Korean name; the family name is Choi.

Choi Yeon-Sung, also known as iloveoov, was a professional Korean StarCraft player who used the Terran race. He was born on November 5th, 1983. He is known for his excellent macromanagement, leading to his nickname "Cheater Terran". However he is better known as "Monster Terran" (Gweh_Mool Terran) because of his ability to produce a massive amount of units. He sees Lim Yo-Hwan, who was on the same team as him (SKTelecomT1), as an older brother or mentor. It's been known that Lim scouted Choi through a match in battlenet after losing to Choi's Terran, Zerg and Protoss. Choi beat Lim 3:2 back in 2004 during the Ongamenet Ever Starleague finals. The 'oov' in his nickname is believed to be the ASCII emotion icon of a face and 2 fingers forming letter 'V' which stands for victory.[1] He has announced his retirement as a progamer as a result of an injury to his wrist, and will become a new coach for his team.[2] Since then, Choi has returned to the active roster as a "player coach". [3]

In April 2008, Choi announced his marriage with his girlfriend. Choi and his fiancee have been together for 6 years, even when he was training to become a professional gamer.

Currently, Choi Yeon Sung said that he would come back in the next Starcraft tournaments with Boxer together in SkTelecom T1. Their goal is to regain the title of being called Terran Number 1 "T1". Recently, Choi Yeon Sung seems to be coming back to form with impressive victories over the ACE team, with 3 victories before being defeated by Anytime[gm].
