BNK FEARX achieved a 2-1 victory against Rise Group’s Kiwoom DRX in the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 4 match at LoL PARK in Jongno on the 13rd. With another win following their Round 3 triumph, BNK FEARX has positioned themselves well in the standings.
Following the match, ‘Taeyoon’ Kim Tae-yoon shared in an interview with INVEN, “Kiwoom DRX avoided certain matchups in our previous encounter by not playing ADC champions. I anticipated they might change their strategy for this match, so I prepared accordingly. I’m thrilled with our victory, especially given the importance of this match.”
‘Aiming,’ a recent addition to the team through a trade, is renowned for his ability to carry games. When asked about facing such a player in a bottom lane matchup, ‘Taeyoon’ responded, “I was actually looking forward to that high-pressure situation.” He emphasized that while ‘Aiming’ is a strong player, there are many other talented bottom laners, including himself.
‘Taeyoon’ demonstrated his skills in Game 2 with an early quadra kill on Yunara and continued to secure crucial kills in every teamfight in Game 3 while playing Kai’Sa, earning him the Player of the Match (POM) title.
BNK FEARX’s upcoming opponent is DN Supers. Despite being at the bottom of the standings, DN Supers has shown improved performance, impacting the top four teams in the Rise Group. ‘Taeyoon’ jokingly remarked, “It was entertaining to watch when it didn’t involve us.”
Looking ahead, he added, “I’ve been enjoying the matches as a spectator so far, and now that our team is in a good position, I’m excited to face DN Supers. I anticipate a challenging match and aim for a victory.”
To maintain their first-place standing secured with the latest win, every remaining match is crucial. “Winning all three remaining matches guarantees first place. I’m motivated to face the fifth-place team from the Legend Group as the first-place team from the Rise Group. I’m determined to win every game,” he emphasized.
Reflecting on his four months with BNK FEARX after the trade, ‘Taeyoon’ expressed surprise at how quickly he adapted to the team. “It feels like I’ve been with the team for a long time now. I’m performing well, and it feels like home,” he said calmly.
In conclusion, ‘Taeyoon’ stated, “My goal is to win all remaining games and secure first place. First place is always the ultimate reward, right? I’ll give my best to thank the fans for their unwavering support. Thank you.”
