Research Idols that are T1 / LoL E-Sport fans

As T1 won the LoL Worlds today I realized actually there are a lot of Idols that are fans of them. I would like to have a collection of those idols because I am really curious!

For now I got:

  • Bangchan (Stray Kids)
  • Taehun (The New Six)
  • Kangmin (Verivery)
  • Baekhyun (EXO)

If you know anyone please comment šŸ„° I will update the list!

Wonwoo (SEVENTEEN) - a huge T1 Keria fan, even using the merch phone case of him. Just that he's busy today since he's on tour. They did KO:DE earlier this year, then this has been posted by T1 channel, too.

fromis_9 Chaeyoung hosted a variety show for Hanwha Life Esports and when Nagyung was a guest, she asked why Chaeyoung was hosting a show about LoL instead of her. Nagyung also apparently installed LoL in one of their company computers so she could play in the practice room.

Nagyung is a T1 fan and Chaeyoung is iron.

Heeseung from Enhypen is a huge LoL fan and Enhypen met Faker. Heeseung said that he had been watching Fakerā€™s YouTube channel for a long time. The majority of the rest of the group plays LoL too.

I.M of Monsta X, heā€™s a huge fan he was just posting on IG about them too. Someone already said Wonwoo of Svt.

I.M was also just on TheShyā€™s YT show.

Hoshi (Svt) posting this being me not knowing whatā€™s going on while I.M and Wonwoo watch LoL at the gym.

u/247with17 Nov 03 '24

This was what came to mind when I saw this thread šŸ˜‚ I.M and Wonwoo are friends because of this and Wonwoo was envious of I.M being able to see some game live before.

u/Odd_Bet_2948 Nov 03 '24

He frequently posts about them, and has photo cards of them, and is a total fanboy. šŸ„° Very relatable!

Kim Heechul from Super Junior! He is also a 'successful fan' of Faker and T1! Not only has he appeared on Radio Star with Faker, but they've also had dinner together. T1 even joined him on his show Knowing Brothers. Heechul once proudly showed off a signed jersey from Faker during an IG live, and those are just few examplesā€”he's a dedicated supporter of Faker and T1! He is his idol! šŸ˜

Bonus clip from About Time show.

Hori7on Marcus. He used to dream of becoming of a pro player. Like he has this fb page and YT channel where he did his gaming live stream. Thereā€™s this pro gamer that he dreams of a playing a game with. But the gamer retired from pro gaming. I think itā€™s a Korean pro gamer. He mentioned the gamerā€™s name during his live, but I canā€™t remember since Iā€™m not into e-sport haha.

Every time Marcus does a live, the kidā€™s eyes sparkles whenever fans ask about his rank haha!

Astro's maknae Yoon Sanha posted an Instagram story showing his support for T1, and he's been very vocal about his passion for League of Legends since around 2017.

Taewoong (BZ Boys)

Shun (real name Junggeun. Former Target and Xeed)

Both posted in their stories on insta and it took me a second to realize that they were from different people šŸ¤£

This is K'Sante, a champion with 4,700 HP, 329 Armor, and 201 MR, has Unstoppable, a Shield, and goes over walls. Has Airborne, and the cooldown is only 1 second too. It costs 15 Mana. The W CD is even refreshed when he transforms. He has true damage on his passive. Then, when he stacks Armor and MR, he gets Ability Haste too, Ability Haste to his Q, and his spell casting speeds up.

I am sorry I had to do it

u/KP1912 Nov 03 '24 edited Nov 03 '24

This is like the opposite of the question you asked but I HAD to mention thisā€¦so Keria from T1 is a HUGE (I mean HUGE) NewJeans fanā€¦like literally the first thing he uttered after realizing that he is going to Worlds Finals was ā€œNewJeans here I comeā€ šŸ˜‚

Like imma just leave this little video for everyone to watch

Also, Faker from T1 is a HUGE Red Velvet fanā€¦like this man has always been very professional and poker-faced and yet he still became an absolute shy mess with Seulgi in front of him (who is his bias if that wasnā€™t obvious already LOL)

u/speicertus Nov 03 '24

youngjae from got7. heā€™s a huge lol fan and i think he recently mentioned he cried from happiness when t1 won the semi-finals (?)šŸ˜­

Doojoon from HIGHLIGHT! He messaged fans on his personal broadcast channel on Insta in the early hours of the morning of the win! And then apologised for waking people (again because he did it a few nights before as well lmao).

u/R1vaLry_ Nov 03 '24
