Biography[]
2016 Season[]
Haru joined CJ Entus in May 2016, during the mid-season break before the LCK Summer Split.[35] He joined the team after a disappointing Spring Split with rookie jungler Bubbling starting for the entire season.
CJ Entus had a very poor showing in the 2016 LCK Summer Season, going 3-15 total in set score. Haru's role as the new starting jungler seemed to make no difference in their abysmal results. Locked into tenth place in the LCK season, CJ Entus participated in the 2017 LCK Spring Promotion. In the first round they were swept 2-0 by Kongdoo Monster, bringing them down to the loser's bracket. There, they beat SBENU Korea 2-0 before falling to ESC Ever in a 3-0 sweep to become relegated from the LCK. This marked the first time an original Kespa team was relegated from the LCK.
Trivia[]
- Is a huge anime fan.[36]
- First anime he watched was Sword Art Online.
- Favorite anime character is Hanamaru Kunikida from Love Live! Sunshine!!.
- Listens to anime songs before matches to calm down.
- Received 3 Hanamaru Kunikida figurines from SPOTV and puts them next to his computer.
