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.
