'''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.
