The government’s high‑profile endorsement of esports underscores just how embedded the phenomenon is, in South Korea’s fabric and economic engine. The nation’s grip on the scene stretches back to the  1990s, when a boom of PC bangs—those internet cafés—gave rise to a professional StarCraft: Brood War circuit.

That legacy persists today in squads like T1, which invariably steps into LCK tournaments as the odds‑on favorite, in the country’s contested domestic league. President Lee reaffirmed the government’s promise to keep pouring resources into the sector a pledge that fits neatly with policies already, in effect.

South Korea has long nurtured its esports infrastructure and the dialogue around its star players has even climbed onto the national policy agenda. For example T1’s gold‑medal victory at the 2022 Asian Games secured military‑service exemptions, for its members treating them with the honor afforded to elite international athletes.

“We’ll keep actively supporting the growth of sectors esports included so our athletes can freely chase their dreams and stay passionate ” Lee added, pledging to provide pros with the resources they need to thrive. At the heart of T1’s dynasty sits the mid‑laner Lee “Faker” Sang‑hyeok.
