During a photo shoot for the LCK Summer 2020 tournament, Faker had a fun interview while responding with an extremely… “sassy” mood.
Here’s a rapid-fire interview with Faker in just a few minutes:
How have you been lately?
Faker: After the MSC, I’m preparing for the LCK Summer 2020.
What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
Faker: I check what time it is, then I lie back down to sleep some more.
How do you rank yourself in terms of humor in T1?
Faker: I’ll give myself the top spot.
So who’s number 2?
Faker: They’re all about the same.
Who’s the best TFT player in T1?
Faker: If I focused my mind on playing TFT, I would be the best.
How’s your spirit for playing Jump King?
Faker: As long as you want to climb, that’s all you need.
If you could recommend a book you’ve read recently, what would it be?
Faker: I haven’t read many books lately. But I still want to recommend “Broad and Shallow Knowledge for Intellectual Communication”.
If you could bring back one item that’s been removed from the game, what would it be?
Faker: I don’t want to bring anything back.
Is there any in-game item you wish you could have in real life?
Faker: Zhonya’s Hourglass. After using it, if I take the gold from me and sell it, I would make a lot of money.
If you were a K-pop idol, what would your role in the group be?
Faker: Dancing, maybe? I think if I learned to dance, I’d dance very well.
Deft recently said he doesn’t talk to people who Flash with the F key. What do you think?
Faker: I don’t even want to talk to people who Flash with the D key, so this is a win-win situation for us.
After becoming the oldest member of the team, do you face any generational gaps?
Faker: My teammates don’t even know the group Buzz (a Korean band from the 2000s), and I… The times… have really changed.
Is there any foreign language you wish you were good at?
Faker: English. It’s very common, and it’s the official language of many countries, so I think it’s the most useful.
If you dyed your hair, what color would it be?
Faker: I already have quite a bit of gray hair, so I would dye it black.
Is there any player you want to tease in solo queue?
Faker: It’s quite fun to tease my teammates in T1.
If you were hiring for a company, what would you ask candidates?
Faker: Academic qualifications. If it’s high, I think they would work very well.
Who’s the most mature and who’s the least mature in T1?
Faker: Effort is the most mature, while Cuzz is the opposite.
Popstar Ahri or K/DA Akali?
Faker: Ahri.
Kim Hee-chul or Joy (Red Velvet)?
Faker: Kim Hee-chul.
Participating in the Temple Stay program with Effort for a day and hearing Teddy say “Let’s get it” for 3 hours?
Faker: Effort. 100% Effort.
Who’s the loudest among Huni, Wolf, and Teddy?
Faker: Teddy.
Favorite car brand?
Faker: BMW.
If you could relive your life, would you still become a professional gamer?
Faker: No. Because I’ve done it once, it wouldn’t be fun anymore.
Do you want to say anything to your fans?
Faker: I was very disappointed not to meet fans at the spring tournament, so I hope to see them in the summer tournament. We will practice hard for this summer tournament and make sure to perform better.
