In the world of League of Legends, especially in South Korea, players usually maintain a healthy lifestyle and focus on their profession. This is because fans here are very strict, and any poor performance can lead to serious consequences.
Moreover, if fans notice any unprofessional behavior or unhealthy lifestyles from the players, it is almost certain that those players will be eliminated. These rules also apply in all public service areas, not just in Esports or League of Legends.
However, recently, the League of Legends audience, especially in the LCK region, was shocked when news broke that a former star had been “arrested”. Specifically, on April 18 (Vietnam time), Inven Korean reported that the police had detained a former League of Legends player. This individual, surnamed Lee, was charged with public nudity (possibly not wearing a shirt) while appearing in a beauty salon. Furthermore, the media also stated that the former player (tentatively referred to as Player A) is only 23 years old.
This news has surprised League of Legends fans, and many names have been put under suspicion. Some believe that since the individual is referred to as a “former player,” they may currently not be active in competition (or are unemployed). Speculation includes Yaharong, a former player for Jin Air Greenwings, who has been unemployed since late 2022. Another name under suspicion is Envyy, a former AD Carry for Liiv SANDBOX, who recently left his team.
However, all of this remains speculation among fans, and the identity of the former player who was arrested remains a mystery. Nevertheless, due to this incident, the career of the aforementioned player (if he still intends to compete) will face numerous challenges, if not saying that the opportunity has almost completely vanished.
