TenTen is a rising star in the Korean VALORANT scene. After debuting with Northeption in 2022, he quickly established himself as a standout player. In 2023, he moved to FAV Gaming, showcasing his aggressive, sharp entry style.

Despite strong performances, his team fell just short in three consecutive tournaments, finishing in the top 2–3 but never clinching the title. Following a disappointing loss to Crest Gaming Lst, TenTen returned to Korea to join T1 Academy. However, he struggled to adapt to the academy’s playstyle, and the team ultimately exited the FEARX tournament in the Lower Bracket Finals.

With his proven capabilities and a familiar aggressive style, TenTen is expected to thrive under ZETA DIVISION, whose system closely mirrors the one he excelled in during his time with FAV Gaming.
