Keria was born on October 14, 2002 in the beautiful coastal city of Busan. Many people think that Keria's first touch with the professional League of Legends is at Dragonx's young talent training program in 2019. But in fact, Keria soon stepped onto the professional stage when he was only 15 years old, at Kespa Cup 2017, playing in Kyeonggi Kegggi shirt.
After that, he moved to Dragonx, joined the training program and started writing his journey in the professional Esports village. 2020, Keria is called to team 1, competing under Dragonx shirt. The 17 -year -old boy was confident in his shoulder to shoulder with Doran – Pyosik – Chovy and Deft, bringing Dragonx blue dragon to reach the peaks never before. The 18 -year -old support with the spectacular teammate in the summer LCK that year, only lost to Damwon – those who are in too high form.
Not stopping there, they went straight to the World Championship 2020, marking the first time the name Dragonx was present in the League of Legends in the world. Despite missing the golden trophy, Keria's outstanding performance has attracted the attention of a large community. 2021, he switched to T1 shirt, stepped to a new page more glorious in his professional player career.
Since 2021, miracles, respectable achievements and great development of Keria have been continuously confirmed through major tournaments. The grave calls him “genius monster” – as a way to recognize the bravery of this young support. In 2023, Keria marked the peak of his career when T1 brought back the 2023 World Championship trophy.
What makes Keria a special existence of LCK, is not only in the respectable achievement table, but also in the unique characteristics of this player. Despite possessing a “modest” height compared to his colleagues, Keria's attraction has spread everywhere, surpassing the boundaries of the League of Legends world.
Returning to 2020, when Keria was still the youngest brother of Dragonx, this support was always a younger brother who was spoiled by 4 brothers. Always the person Deft invited Duo in the rank, was cared for by Pyosik and bought food, ChoVy and Doran played, naughty. It is rare for people to hear what 4 brothers scolded Keria, even when she played a mischievous game.
Even Keria's fan community from 2020 probably knew about the famous close brothers: Deft – Rascal – Keria. If Rascal is always scolded by his eldest brother Deft and “butter”, then Keria is concerned and pampered by both of them. The photos of all 3 people taken over the year are regularly posted, marking the mature journey of this close friendship. Although now only a former teammate, people still come across Keria and the Dragonx 2020 squad gathered together, still see 3 brothers Rascal – Keria – Deft hanging out together after each season.
Step to T1, although Choi “Zeus” Woo Jae was the youngest brother, the pampering that his teammates for his support has not changed. Among them are Gumayusi – ADC, “the other half” of the lower line of T1 – who always cares and pays attention to Keria. When playing, Gumayusi not only listened to his opinion, trust and praise Keria, but in life, the T1 gunner always pays attention to his friend Duo. Small actions like supporting Keria do not stumble, pay attention when Keria responded to interviews, or always cared about Keria's feelings showed the favor that Gumayusi for his friend.
Not only Gumayusi, Faker's “Demon King” did not hesitate to express his favor to his small younger brother. On social networks Instagram, Faker monitors very few people. In particular, Faker has not tracked any member of the current T1 squad. However, there was a single exception, the only one who was followed by Faker then was Keria.
The recognition and praise that Faker for Keria is also expressed publicly through the photo he poses the heart and support of his team. Capital often posing to the thumb in every picture, Keria is the only “exception” Faker to create the same heart. In the final of the 2022 World Championship, where T1 lost 2-3 bitterness, Faker also turned to look at Keria worried when he saw his juniors shed tears. The photo recorded that emotional moment that made the community stir, even won the Esports photo award of 2022.
Keria's cuteness was beyond the T1 world, when the gunner of other “houses” also proved extremely favorable to support the 22 -year -old. Typically, Ruler, when JDG's gunner had the opportunity to pair with Keria at ASIAD 19 recently. Capital famous for being hot -tempered, cattle, often loudly and let go of his old “love” supported his old Lehendss, but Ruler brings a completely different expression when talking to Keria. It seems that Ruler becomes a easier and softer person than ever. Fans often joke, it is true that Keria's attraction is “not joking”.
Perhaps this funny sentence has come true, when Keria also spread his cuteness across the Esports border, entering Korean showbiz. Coming to the 2023 World Championship, besides stressful professional moments, Keria did not hesitate to express his passionate love with Newjeans – Korean idol group, and the owner of the “Gods” theme song in the last world final. The “owner” Newjeans also knew that the two sides also had a meeting and signed just before the final match. Newjeans members are also very interested in meeting Keria, and proved extremely happy to be loved by Keria.
Keria's “predestined relationship” with K-pop idol does not stop there. Recently, the online community was surprised to see Keria appearing on a video dance challenge and the famous male idol group Tomorrow x Together – TXT. The 3 members are Soobin, Byeom Gu and Huening Kai and Keria made the dance to promote the group's new song. Previously, Keria had repeatedly danced to TXT's song at personal livestreams, and TXT members also “signaled” by cheering Keria at the 2023 World Final, as well as inviting this lovely support to make Dance Challenge. It has been a long time ago, the Korean League of Legends village has witnessed such a surprising collab.
Not stopping there, Keria was once again “named” by the community when suddenly being watched by Wonwoo of the Idol Seventeen group on Instagram. It is known that Wonwoo only tracks members of the group with the producer, Keria is the only “exception” favored by Wonwoo. Previously, Wonwoo also made the community excited when “wearing” the official shirt of T1 in a fan meeting in the same group. Keria has also expressed his admiration many times with Seventeen. However, Wonwoo only monitored Keria only showed how much the 22 -year -old idol was.
The bravery on the stage, lovely in everyday life with the “predestined” extremely interesting relationships makes Keria be considered a “ideological system” in LCK as well as the League of Legends world. The charm of Keria makes him more and more famous, getting more attention and love from fans.
Step to the 2024 season with the position of the world champion, the player loved by many other famous people, perhaps Keria will be under pressure. However, with his unanimous talent and bravery, Keria will definitely continue to “defeat” the hearts of many people, not only by the screen shown in the tournament, but also with his very “Keria” personality.
