This morning, July 4th, former OGN host and analyst Cho Eun Jung, who was responsible for organizing the League of Legends tournament in South Korea – LCK before 2019, announced her marriage to her boyfriend So Ji Sub – an actor 17 years her senior.
While fans of So Ji Sub and League of Legends enthusiasts worldwide send their best wishes for a happy life together, many netizens also mentioned the SKT T1 player Faker.
Cho Eun Jung was involved with the LCK tournament for two years, from the 2014 season to the 2016 season, before leaving to focus on her work as a broadcaster at SBS. Although her time in the tournament was brief, Cho Eun Jung became a well-known name among gamers and League of Legends fans. Notably, she is regarded as the “dream crush” or “goddess” that the famous SKT T1 player Faker had a one-sided affection for.

Previously, Faker had often expressed his longing and dream to have Eun Jung interview him again on the League of Legends stage.
Unfortunately for Faker, in 2019, the famous South Korean newspaper Dispatch announced information about the romantic relationship between actor So Ji Sub and Cho Eun Jung.

Cho Eun Jung is still regarded as a sad story for Faker. However, the latest news about her proves that things could be even sadder for the gamer.
On the morning of July 4th, So Ji Sub’s management company officially announced that he had married his girlfriend Cho Eun Jung. The couple has completed their marriage registration and had a simple, cozy wedding after purchasing a luxurious villa as their new home.
