On 20th of November, SK Telecom T1 announced that the team’s AD carry, Bang, will become a free agent. After the news went public, Bang went on his Twitch stream to thank his fans, say goodbye to the SKT organization and share his feelings.

“It feels weird to talk as a free agent,” Bang told the viewers in his farewell stream. “Right now, I’m a streamer, that is planning to become a professional gamer soon.”

In the stream, Bang took questions from the viewers. When fans asked him for an update on which teams he’s considering joining, Bang said, “I’m considering all regions. LPL is good, LCK is good. LCS NA, EU, all are possibilities. I want to find a team that suits me well, and I’m looking forward to meeting new amazing people. It’s not as if I’m cutting ties with all the existing friendship I’ve built [in SKT], either.”

“The free agency has only been announced now. However, I’ve been a free agent for earlier than this, due to [SKT] being very considerate of me. As you know, as a free agent one can approach other organizations. So [at this point] ‘m not in a bad situation.”

Bang also confirmed, “As I’ve mentioned, I am considering Korean teams, too. There are [LCK] teams that I’ve already gotten in touch with. I’ve already been in touch with teams from all the regions.”

Bang continued to answer fan questions in a frank manner, admitting that as he’s not contracted under an organization he could now speak more freely. Bang gave candid answers on the performance slump during MSI, the controversies over his comments on stream.

During the stream, Bang would not give an answer to whether he is looking to join the same team with Wolf.

Finally, as the fans expressed concern on whether Bang was retiring, the player answered, “This is not it. I want to continue to play as a professional player. I would like to play for at least three more years. I want to meet you guys [the fans] again at the highest stage. My passion has not cooled just yet. I promise to go out after my 10th anniversary.”
