'''KDJ''' is a retired Korean-American [[smasher]] who was known to be one of the best {{SSBM|Sheik}} and {{SSBM|Fox}} players in the United States in the 2006-2007 era. He continued to enter and placed decently at ''[[Melee]]'' tournaments after becoming a {{SSBM|Marth}} main. He rose to fame by consistently placing in the top-8 of events during the [[MLG 2006 Pro Circuit]], becoming known for his Sheik play. He was also known for his notorious [[money match]]ing, in which he would repeatedly challenge top-level players to improve his own gameplay. KDJ shocked the ''Smash'' community when he defeated {{Sm|Ken}} 3-1, solidifying his position as one of the best ''Melee'' players in the world. During the 2006-2007 era, he was the only player known to have a positive record over Ken.

KDJ was also one of the 16 players to be invited to participate in the [[E3 2014]]-held [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational]] tournament to play {{forwiiu}}, and was also one of the 7 players who had an episode dedicated to them in ''[[The Smash Brothers]]''.

However, his breakout performance occurred at MLG Orlando 2006, where he made it to winners' finals by defeating both Mew2King and Ken. He lost to {{Sm|Azen}} and then to {{Sm|ChuDat}} in losers' finals, placing 3rd. At [[MLG New York Playoffs 2006]], he defeated Mew2King before losing to Azen once again in winners' bracket, and then defeated Isai before losing to ChuDat in losers' bracket, placing 4th, and successfully qualifying for the MLG 2006 championship event.

KDJ later attended [[Cataclysm 3]], where he placed 2nd, defeating {{Sm|Forward}}, PC Chris, and ChuDat in losers' bracket after losing to ChuDat in winners' semis. He lost to Mew2King in grand finals. He also won [[MLG Long Island 2007]] two months later, defeating ChuDat in winners' semis, and Mew2King in both winners' finals and grand finals. After not attending various nationals in the summer of 2007, he attended [[Viva La Smashtaclysm]] in November 2007, where he placed 3rd, losing to Azen in winners' quarters, and then sweeping through losers' bracket, defeating {{Sm|Chillin}}, {{Sm|Drephen}}, and Mew2King to make it to losers' finals, where he lost to ChuDat.

In early 2008, KDJ won the Worcester regional Nintendo sponsored ''[[Brawl]]'' tournament, playing as {{SSBB|Sheik}}. His final match was against Compton of Deadly Alliance, who played Lucas. He then won the New York City Grand Championship of the Nintendo sponsored ''Brawl'' tournament, defeating {{Sm|DireVulcan}} of Deadly Alliance, who played Ike. However, he has not entered any ''Brawl'' tournaments or made an effort to develop his skill since.

On March 18th, 2014, [[Team Liquid]], a ''StarCraft 2'' and ''Dota 2'' eSports organization, signed KDJ and {{Sm|Ken}} up for their ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' team. KDJ has since made a comeback in the ''Melee'' community, resuming his career with decent placings at nationals, such as 17th at [[Apex 2014]], 13th at [[SKTAR 3]], 29th at [[MLG Anaheim 2014]], 17th at [[CEO 2014]], and 65th at [[EVO 2014]].
