Professional Gamer Faker Was Asked Which BTS Member He’d Recruit To T1, And His Answer Was Everything
Lee Sang Hyeok, better known as Faker, is a professional gamer who plays for SK Telecom T1. He recently sat down for an interview with Korea Now where he discussed what got him into games, how a typical day looks like for him, and more.
He was also asked to describe his experience with being a guest for BTS‘s Run BTS! episode where they played games in two separate teams.
I wasn’t interested in idols and I wasn’t familiar with BTS at first, but when I met them, all the members were very unique and witty so I had a lot of fun.
— Faker
When the reporter asked him to pick which member he’d like to recruit to T1, he had to take a long guess.
In the end, he couldn’t choose any of the seven members: “I give up on recruiting”.
His reasoning was simple: the others would be upset with him if they weren’t chosen.
If I pick only one member, the other members will be disappointed.
— Faker
During the episode, he built a friendship with all BTS members while playing computer games.
The reporter couldn’t help but praise his thoughtfulness, saying, “I thought [you’d say] they were all bad”.
In a surprising turn of events, Faker laughingly admitted that their skill level was another reason why BTS couldn’t make it to the T1 lineup.
