On March 9th, 2018, Rascal was suspended internally from KZ about his foul in-game chats, and because of using an inappropriate Summoner name. He was banned from their roster and it was told that he served community service during his absence.



The KZ staff stated, “In order to not repeat this again, we will focus more as a team on player recruiting processes and character education. Rascal is currently deeply regretting what he has done and he voluntarily decided to continue his community service even after making his return to the roster.”



“Even though I’m back in the roster, I’m not going to accept this as the end of my suspension; I do not think that I am fully forgiven yet. I will take any other criticism and will serve community service for every chance I get" said Rascal.

The following is the full translation of Rascal's apology letter.





Hello, this is Kim “Rascal” Kwang-hee, top laner at Kingzone DragonX.



First of all, I would like to apologize for my immature behavior that upset many people. In the past, I had used an inappropriate Summoner name while I was joking around with my friend, which was controversial and symbolized a specific website. Although I knew it was inappropriate, I tried to rationalize it by thinking it’s alright since I wasn’t a user of that website.



However, what I did wasn’t any different from those who actually used that website. Although this all occurred because of my ignorance, I am not free from the responsibility. Through this mishap, I understood that my behavior or jokes could cause controversy in the society and that it could upset many other people. I was very embarrassed that I found out that it was such a big problem through such an incident.



During my suspension, I looked back at my immature and ignorant self. While I was carrying out the community service, I thought that I should become a person that could always help others. Also, as a professional player, and as a human being, I realized that I need to be responsible for my words and actions.



Even though I’m back in the roster, I’m not going to accept this as the end of my suspension; I do not think that I am fully forgiven yet. I will take any other criticism and will serve community service for every chance I get.



I’d like to apologize again to the fans who trusted me, and to those who have been upset by me. I’ll make sure such thing doesn’t happen again. No words are enough; I’ll do my best to express how sorry I am through my behavior. Again, I’m sorry with all my heart.
