EXO Baekhyun, a member of the popular K-pop group EXO, is not only known for his incredible vocals but also for his love of playing League of Legends. In a vlog uploaded on his YouTube channel, Baekhyun documented his excitement when he had the opportunity to meet his favorite player, T1 Faker.
The vlog showed Baekhyun and his fellow EXO member Kai attending an SKT 5G launch event. Baekhyun couldn’t contain his fanboy excitement when he found out that he would be meeting Faker in person. He shyly asked his manager to record the moment as he approached Faker backstage.
“I’m a fan,” Baekhyun said timidly to the legendary League of Legends professional. “You’re my favorite player.”
Faker smiled in response, unsure of how to react to the K-pop idol’s admiration. Baekhyun, overwhelmed by the moment, wanted to ask Faker for his number so they could play League of Legends together. However, he ended up coughing awkwardly during the silence.
Despite the initial awkwardness, Baekhyun had the chance to spend time with Faker on stage as they played a VR shooting game. Initially competing against Kai, the hosts decided to switch Kai with Faker mid-game.
Faker lost one round against Baekhyun but ultimately emerged victorious. Nevertheless, he took a moment to appreciate Baekhyun’s impressive gaming skills.
“Baekhyun is quite good at playing video games,” Faker complimented his celebrity fan.
Although Baekhyun didn’t get the chance to exchange numbers with Faker, there’s still hope for them to play League of Legends together in the future.
Faker, also known as the “Unkillable Demon King,” is considered one of the greatest players in the history of esports. With three League of Legends World Championship titles and numerous individual accolades, Faker has solidified his status as a legend in the gaming world. He has won 10 LCK championship titles and was even recognized by Forbes in their 30 Under 30 list in 2019.
