One of Faker’s habits when taking photos, also the signature “pose” of the “Chairman”, is giving a thumbs up. With anyone, whether it be opponents or fans, male or female… Faker always has a familiar pose. Notably, many fans and even opposing teams of T1 often strike the “half heart” pose when checking in with Faker. The only problem is that he skillfully dodges all of them. The only person who has been able to make a “heart” pose with Faker in the last few years is probably Keria.
However, perhaps only long-time T1 fans, specifically those from before 2018, would know: Faker has also fallen into the “love trap”. In fact, he was not shy to show affection publicly, particularly in interviews. His crush is Cho Eun-jung – the former LCK host during the period of 2014 – 2016. Notably, during her time working, Faker was one of the players she interviewed the most. This was the golden era of the “Demon King” with the peak being the third championship title at the World Championship in 2016.
However, “to hear that you are getting married, my heart is so sad”. Faker had to watch his crush become “someone else’s wife” when the beautiful host became the wife of the famous actor So Ji-sub. The beautiful scenario that many T1 fans supported did not come to fruition. And as we know, since Cho Eun-jung got married and Faker went through the ups and downs of his career, the “Chairman” has not shown or expressed affection for anyone else.
And currently, T1 fans and Faker probably understand better than anyone: For Faker, his career and T1’s success are the most important. Therefore, we may have to wait until Faker retires to hear news about the “Chairman’s” behind-the-scenes relationships. For now, Faker seems to simply dodge all kinds of “flirtation”.
