An unusual story -- yet a great one that pacifies one's heart -- is occurring at the worlds greatest digital culture event
'e- stars Seoul 2008'.

Adopted in Norway, yet a Korean by blood, Jørgen Johannessen who is the coach for a western team at 'e-stars Seoul 2008 Continental Cup,' finally meets his long lost Korean mother.

Although Jørgen Johannessen has a Norwegian citizenship, in his body flows Korean blood. Born as a Korean at Inchon with the name "Young-bum Lee," he was adopted at 5, because of household problems.

Since 2001, Jørgen Johannessen has been playing under the name XeqtR under famous teams like SK.sca, eoLithic, NOA, and has grabbed the championship numerous times -- one of the greatest pro-gamers of the time.

Although he tried to find his parents in 2005, at Korea's World e Sports Games (WEG), he was unfortunatley unable to. After that, he announced retirement at 2006, July, to his fans regret.

Jørgen Johannessen's story has been reported by Daily Sports News and Central News July 16th, and 17th. His mother, who luckily read this, was able to make contact, and Jørgen Johannessen was finally able to hear about his mother. As big as his expectations were, he was also careful about this good news, and he checked proofs like old pictures, and the adoption transcripts to check if this was really happening. Jørgen Johannessen did not hide his feelings when he met his mother, and his foster parents also shared his happiness.Jørgen Johannessen's Korean mother is currently known to be residing in Japan.

Western team coach Jørgen Johannessen showed strong determination to win as he said "e Stars Seoul 2008 is very special to me. It gave me the chance to come back to Seoul as a coach. At this event I want to show my fans, as a coach, the revival of the "trophy maker.' And I also want to show my mother that I have grown to become a good man"

e Stars Seoul 2008 will be held from July 24th to 27th at Seoul Trade Display Convention Center (SETEC), and e stars Seoul 2008 Continental Cup will be shown live at various places like MBC game, Naver, China's Sina.com, Germany's ESL TV, America's gotfrag.com.
