SEVENTEEN's Wonwoo was seen at the League of Legends match of T1 vs. Dplus KIA at the LCK Spring 2024 Regular Season on February 15, 2024. The K-pop idol was captured during the online streaming of the tournament as T1, led by Lee Sang-hyeok, aka Faker, dominated in Week 4 of the LCK 2024 Spring and secured a 2-0 victory against Dplus KIA.

Meanwhile, the rapper returned after performing at the Olympic Sports Center Stadium in Macao, China, on January 20 and 21, 2024. This performance was part of SEVENTEEN's ongoing FOLLOW world tour. K-pop fans were ecstatic to see SEVENTEEN's rapper having fun since his fandom knows his love for League of Legends and Keria from T1.

One fan took to X and shared an amusing tweet stating that Wonwoo is "an idol by day, a fanboy by night" after seeing him cheer for T1 during the match.

Several websites, such as Ensiplay, Azscore, and Strafe Esports, streamed the match LIVE for its global audience. During the livestream, viewers, SEVENTEEN admirers, and League of Legends fans noticed Wonwoo and were taken aback.

Furthermore, an X user (@wonwooseol) shared a translation of a Korean fan's post (@felidaehsww) recounting her meeting with SEVENTEEN's idol during the match. As per the online user's translation, the original poster (OP) stated that she met the K-pop idol at League of Legends Park and asked him to sign her photocard of Faker from T1.

"OP met Wonwoo at the LoL Park! They pulled out a Faker photocard and asked for a sign, but Wonwoo was shocked and said "Am I allowed (to sign it) here..." OP also told him that's he's a victory fairy and thanked him" (as translated by the X user)

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN fans were excited to see the Super rapper pose to click pictures with Ryu Min-seok, better known as Keria from T1. The images went viral online instantaneously, and fans flooded X with messages expressing their delight.
