Chun Jung-hee (Hangul: 천정희 is a retired South Korean professional player of the real-time strategy game Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. He used to play for the Chinese professional gaming team Beijing eSport Team. He goes by the gamertag of Sweet (previously nOma) and is a member of clan WeRRa.
He has been recognized among the top tier of Warcraft III players since the beginning of the professional competitive scene and has won two world championships as well as several professional events in South Korea.
After finished his military duty, he became coach of the Jin Air Greenwings League of Legends team.
After the release of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos in 2002 Jung Hee Chun rose to quickly be noticed as one of the strongest players in the South Korean scene, which was at the time known as the most competitive gaming scene in the world.
He participated in several televised leagues and showed strong results, finishing top three in two of the biggest televised leagues played using Reign of Chaos; MBC Sonokong Prime League II and Sonokong OnGamenet II. He represented the SAINT Proteam during this time, which disbanded near 2004 and made Jung Hee Chun as well as his former teammates free agents. The Warcraft III division of the former Saint Proteam was recruited by German professional gaming team SK Gaming to boost their appeal in Asia.
This made Sweet one of the few Korean players constantly exposed to the international gaming scene, as SK Gaming's team site is one of the most visited competitive gaming related sites.
By 2004 the professional scene moved on to Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, and Chun rose to become Korea's face to the world during this time. He qualified for a number of international tournaments that offered very limited slots to Korean participants, and because of the intensity of the competitive Korean scene therefore rarely saw players making more than one appearance at tournaments of this nature.
In 2004 he represented his country at the Electronic Sports World Cup 2004 in Paris as well as ACON4 in Shanghai and made it to the semi-finals of the Korean televised league MBC Daum Prime League IV. He took fourth place at the Electronic Sports World Cup and third at ACON4, making him the most prominent Korean professional gamer of the time globally. Adding to this as well was the exposure he became member of SK Gaming, and his rise on the Asian Battle.net ladder where he became the first player worldwide to reach level 50.
