League of Legends GOAT Faker Joins South Korean Police Campaign Against Youth Gambling

Widely recognized as the greatest League of Legends player in competitive esports history, Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok is teaming up with South Korea’s Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) to support its campaign to combat youth gambling.

This week, the KNPA officially named the 30-year-old Seoul-based pro gamer an honorary police officer as part of the initiative. In his honorary role, Faker will take part in public awareness efforts aimed at educating young people on the risks of illegal and harmful gambling, leveraging his massive global fanbase and influence with younger audiences to spread the campaign’s key messages.

The high-profile partnership is part of the KNPA’s broader push to reduce underage gambling rates across South Korea, using Faker’s widespread popularity to reach demographics that traditional law enforcement outreach often struggles to engage.
