Hello, this is Kim Blue.
First of all, huge congratulations on the 30th anniversary of Tokyo Game Show!
I am looking forward more than anyone to being at Tokyo Game Show, where the best games gather and next-generation titles are unveiled.
This marks my 14th year as a gaming YouTuber, but encountering new games still thrills me just as much.
I have always known Tokyo Game Show as a central stage of gaming culture where gaming enthusiasts from across the globe unite.
To stand on this stage as a Korean creator for this landmark 30th anniversary is a massive honor.
I want to deliver the raw passion and dedication that Korean creators bring to gaming directly to Tokyo Game Show.
I will give it my all on site so we can celebrate this special 30th anniversary moment together!
Once again, congratulations on the 30th anniversary of Tokyo Game Show.
I look forward to seeing you all at the buzzing venue!
And to all my fans, 'BlueMon,' who always support me and made it possible for me to stand on such a grand stage, thank you always.

First of all, thank you so much, TGS.
I actually attended Tokyo Game Show in both 2023 and 2024, and every time I returned, I brought home enough memories to talk about for over a year.
To me, TGS is a must-attend annual event; without it, there would be a massive hole in my year's content.
That's why going from someone who attended every year on my own to becoming a member of BOOSTERZ still feels a little unreal, and I am deeply honored.
People say I look gentle normally, but the bosses in games definitely wouldn't agree (laughs).
From Soulslikes to horror, the harder and scarier a game is, the more fired up I get, and sometimes I even sing during streams.
It's like a little breather between 'gentle' and 'merciless.'
After 7 years of streaming, my motivation has always been simple: 'to share the joy of gaming with as many people as possible.'
I am so excited to bring that joy from Taiwan to TGS and to players around the world as a BOOSTERZ member.
Please come say hi at the venue!
I'll save my gentle side for you all, and my merciless side for the bosses!

I'm heading out on a business trip from Planet Love It! to the Land of Games to deliver LOVE and HAPPY to everyone!
I'm already super excited, wondering what events and games I'll encounter!
I might even throw out some crazy requests at the venue!?
I'll be waiting at Makuhari Messe, so everyone definitely come visit~!
