Biography

Trivia

Has become the subject of a number of memes among western fans:
- As Faker's junior has been dubbed the "Killable Demon King" in reference to the former's moniker and Azir play.
- Is sometimes also called "Choby" when he plays well, especially when on Tristana or while ranking high in creep score, after Chovy.
