How a K-Pop Obsessed Support God Stanned NewJeans So Hard He Won Worlds

- Inspiration can come from all sorts of places.
Whether is CS:GO, League or Valorant, pros can be driven by anything by the desire to be the best to getting revenge on their haters.
But going into Worlds 2023, League of Legends superstar Ryu "Keria" Min-Seok had a little extra motivation.
Sure, he wanted to win, but he also wanted to meet his favourite K-Pop idols. NewJeans were performing at Worlds, and he was ready to push his limits, both to lift the trophy and to get his merch signed.
So, how does one of the greatest League players in the world go from crying on stage to stanning his idols before lifting the trophy? Why does League’s mechanical king play support of all roles? And did Keria get to finally live out his dream of hanging out with Kpop stars?

![[Knowing Bros] How to Motivate T1 Players😁 (Guess who's a fan of NewJeans😂) (ENG SUB)](/img/n.gif)
He literally won worlds then after the event, went home, streamed to watch the finals new jeans performance
Them streaming while watching the whole thing was so funny, they couldn't sleep due to how excited and hyped they still were.
He was more hyped seeing New jeans and being literally on stage with them than actually winning worlds
At the last moments of the game. Motherfker didn’t yell WE WON. Dude yelled new jeans here I come😂😂
@@stevenchen9852well it’s because it was actually at the semifinals that he yelled that, thus the “Gocheok Sky Dome here I come” because both NewJeans and the Sky Dome were symbols of reaching the final
@@Mezha07 I mean WBG was a pushover. If they had fought a series like the DRX 2022 one, all of them probably would've been happier.
Keria
- Win Worlds
- Meet Newjeans
- talked to Hanni
- Rewatch the replay of Worlds
- Turned off his stream
- Sleep
I refuse to believe he'd rather sleep than watch the performance a couple more times
@@slyphknttdotdotdot637probably had it playing while sleeping on loop
‘It is not LPL vs LCK, It is T1 vs the LPL and they like those odds!’ Fucking chills dude
I rewatch that moment somewhat regularly
"The last light of the LCK burns bright in Busan!"
One of the best commentary line ever to conclude a Legendary semifinal and the best Bo5 of the year. It’ll remain in history books. (at least mine xd)
@@daveydoodz That one really gets me. Last year's run for T1, "The last light of the LCK burns bright in Busan" is at the top of my list for me, folowed by "It is not LPL vs LCK, it is T1 vs the LPL and they like those odds!".
The line "last light of LCK..." wasn't given the spotlight it should have, I PERSONALLY feel that line is ONE OF THE BEST in last year's worlds.

Funny thing is when T1 and New Jeans meet for promotion, Faker jokingly said he will hide Keria’s new jean merch until Finals and gave it back if they won 😂😂
Not only Newjeans, boy knows every dance from gen 2 to gen 4 kpop group 😂
cant believe he has a 3 hour stream just sing and dance randomly to 80 songs of kpop
He also visited the Hybe ent. And do challenge with TXT member Soobin, Heuning Kai, Beomgyu
Keria, a man who single-handedly invented a meta that won him worlds
Journalism: he won cuz newjeans
He invented a meta that win him world's so he could meet newjeans. Don't hate on the stan
don't ever underestimate the NewJeans buff
The newjeans buff also gave him a boost in IQ 😂
True, it’s crazy how Keria’s hard work to win a Worlds title is totally overshadowed by his side passion in the eyes of journalists and fans. Keria has always stated that his main goal was to win multiple World Championships and to be remembered as the best but somehow because Keria likes Kpop and NewJeans it has become his only narrative for western fans…
Yep, whatever he did was the meta was crazy to see how the lpl teams just copied him relentlessly and he was able to counter everything they did.
the common things about recent support champions recently is: they fight for something definitely not the champion title. Meiko is his cat, Beryl is for Elysia (and the gacha money), and Keria now is NewJeans.
Based support players
Based honestly
Gigabased supports
Based. As support main we all have this thing.
Keria is an innovative who studies and adapts the meta, he can conduct experiments to these seasonal metas like a scientist and be successful of it, such a fucking genius player the only player which I witnessed how he carried frequently the greatest League team in pro scene.
BeryL is more experimental than Keria but Keria has the skill to execute, BeryL can be an inter sometimes
remember one if his interview,.hi reminded solo q players to not do what his doing, he said he is only successfull cuz he have teamates like t1.,he his genius but it wont work unless you have insane teamates like t1
The Chinese fans literally call him Dr. K or Professor K😂
Well his nickname is "The Genius Monster"
I mean… the finals was 80 percent Zeus and 20 percent the rest of t1 you can’t say it like he carries t1 since he did very minimum during the finals. But no hate tho he’s an awesome support and got igl. Zues did everything a top laner can do during those games
keria 100% has the talent and potential to be the best support of all time. he just needs to stock up on the accolades now. the first worlds trophy was a good start.
If he plays at about the same level he has in the last 3 years (averaged, not peak), he could win 0 trophies and will still be the best. Trophies matter somewhat but they don't make or break greatness, longevity at the highest level does.
@@blobitz9648 yup, similar to Madlife got the title support god eventhough he did not win much
@@khoohao9659 Mata is the support god.
@@blobitz9648fair enough, i agree with the longevity, but i do think a few more trophies will help. his skillset is just unmatched. hope he stays in form (and selfishly, in t1) for a long long time and becomes immortal as a support.
@@forg_tful. I don't disagree at all. More trophies can only be a good thing and they certainly show aspects of greatness like clutch factor.
I just hope that if he plays out the rest of his career at his current stellar level and somehow sadly doesn't win, history doesn't ignore him as the Goat support because I think he'll still deserve it.
"T1 needed to whether the storm"
Faker's Azir: *I AM THE STORM THAT ITS APPROACHING*
Zeus's Aatrox: PROVOKING BLACK CLOUDS IN ISOLATION!!!
Faker's Azir: I AM RECLAIMER OF MY NAME
BORN IN FLAMES, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED
MY FAMILY CREST IS A DEMON OF DEATH
Faker's reputation: FORSAKENED, I AM AWAKENED
*together with Keria* A PHOENIX' ASH IN DARK DIVINE
True
Ruler replaced Ryu in every T1 montage/documentary video in CZcams
Ryu is safe now😂
@@francisreidpalmes3348 no... No Ryu is never safe... I am sure he still dreams about it...
@@HangryLuna 😂
I mean.. Ryu was Faker peak mechanic but Ruler tho that one is a revenge.
@@ProBaiter0012 Ryu was a mechanic showdown. Ruler was personal.
Zeus: "Keyboard!"
Keria: "Love me?
After the breakdown on stage last year it was awesome to see him come back this year and enjoy himself on stage. He earned it.
"MIKYX OVER ME?!"
Keria reportedly said after going to the locker room after winning his First Worlds Championship
Keria is the epitome of bunnies no one more successful fan than him
The title could be “how a kpop obsessed player stanned newjeans so hard he became part of a pro team” and we’d still know who he is 🤣😂
I litteraly read the title and already knew “oh, a video abt Keria” 😂😂
imagine Bard doing the Kpop dance moves :D
But he chose Mommy Renata as his T1 skin haha
@@shzzznttt21 so Renata gotta do the moves ?
@@shzzznttt21 I think in the very end, he re-chose Bard as his skin
you can take my money
@@shzzznttt21 he picked bard after he did a poll on his instagram and people voted bard over renata
Keria = Carrier
Man it feels good for Supports to be talked about like this
2022 LCK Spring Regular Season MVP
2023 Asian Games Gold Medalist
2023 World Champions
Already considered as one of the best players in the world.
And still jamming to New Jeans after winning worlds. A gigachad move indeed.
+2023 LCK Spring Regular Season MVP too, a piooner of the GOAT's
I'm ready for T1 KDA Bard with NewJeans moves.
Keria will always be one of the goats of T1
New Jeans buff (exclusive Keria buff):
This buff allows Keria to use 100% of his power. This buff activates after Keria interacts with any New Jeans member.
Man was more excited to see new jeans than being in the finals haha 😂
keria was the reason I started watching pro play back when I was maining support. He is very enjoyable to watch and to finally win worlds to cement his status makes me very happy
"in the end, a support god needed a support system"
And it was his teammates and Newjeans. Bunnie approves this ❤
Keria becoming a pro player just to meet newjeans is equal to Riot making a game just to sell their music
ahhhhh yes when Teddy is in still in SKT/T1 and he is non stop duoing with Keria when he is still in the DRX academy
The new jeans buff on keria is too strong
I’m not gonna lie, ever since that loss to drx, I wanted him to raise that cup
It's really unfortunate that Riot does not let World winners pick skins for champs they did not play at Worlds. I get wanting the skins to represent moments at that year's biggest event, but I feel like winners should be able to choose champs that represent themselves best. Not everyone is Faker who'll get multiple skins, for most pros this is a one-time-thing. They should be allowed to cement their legacy in any way they wish.
I disagree, that will make world skin less prestigious if players can choose any champ. But I frown at riot refusing some champ skin requested by player due to their skin future plan. It's difficult enough to win it, then they can't even pick what they've played.
@@KaramelLife How would it make a world skin less prestigious? The player is still winning the hardest and most prestigious tournament in LoL. They'd only get 1 per win still, they just can choose a champ that has true meaning to them rather than one that fit the meta of the tournament.
I love the fact that it was an Madlife Montage that inspired him to choose the support role.
This is like the meme of Mid and ADC struggeling in intense concentration while Top and Support has time and energy to jam out and sing payphone by maroon 5
Support side quest always wins worlds.
Can't blame him. NJ is one of the best group atm.
lets gaur
In the end he actually did the dance challenge with Tomorrow X Together
The scenario change when T1 face BLG & the meta shift really make other team had to adapt what T1 does, but the problem is other team failed to get use & at the same time T1 had all the draft landed well & counter every pick, Keria is really like Einstein 😂
hanni waved to him and did the fighting gesture and he was sooo happy. that pretty much ensured he would play a perfect series.
im ngl "7 years since their last, 10 years since their first" is the HARDEST damn line
RESPECT to all SUPPORT MAINS out there not just in the league but in other games as well
Because of Keria i changed my name in league to "T1 Newjeans Buff" 🤣
Keria is too cute AYAYA
- Chronicler
1:04 New jeans buff is real😂😂
Keria was in such a roll he mind-controlled the Weibo bot lane into thinking they could first-time Senna/TK in a WORLDS FINAL
First timed bard too. XD
they predicted everything and just flex pick Rakan and Xayah for the third game
I was at the Red Bull event in Germany (League of its own) and was lucky enough to get the worn jacket from Keria.
I'm sure Bard can do all those moves for his recall animation.
Lifting Worlds trophy are harder than Finals
I think the game 3 of T1 vs JDG deserves an "every second counts" video
Practically won worlds becaue of NewJeans boost haha
Gigachad Keria watches NewJeans GODS performance at home after winning Worlds.
I watch the T1 video for their semi and final. Keria basically is the mastermind behind the drafting for most of the games. His rivalry with Beryl is amazing.
Truly deserving of his nickname "Legendary Genius Monster"
Kiera looks so pocket sized next to Soobin on the Instagram reel trends they did and I’m here for putting him in my pocket and just taking him home.
Who doesn’t need a pocket support-
this man is pocket pick if it was a person. i still have nightmares of fighting caitlyn supports in bronze lmao
I saw the screen before reading the title and thought it said 'New Jersey Here I Come'
everytime i hear keria sings, i understand that god doesnt let anyone be perfect :))))
"No support player has ever been touted as the best". Someone forgot MadLife end of season 2 early season 3. 100% was regarded as the best player in the world during that period.
LoL wasn't that big before the start of faker era though and its obvious Faker hold the title best player on his era
@@nirvash241 How big LoL was isn't relevant to what he says at all but even if it was, LoL was plenty big in season 3.
back in S2-S3 when LoL had 20-30 active players worldwide 🤣🤣🤣
yeah sure bruh
@@Trick5GG s2-s3 literally 40-60million. keep embarrassing yourself 🤣🤣🤣
Nah. That's got to be Samsung's Mata.
The “you cleanse death” still one of the best line.
Already knew T1 gonna win. Their support got a new jean buff ain't no one stopping that
T1 Keria skins + New jeans dance =
... That's the most baffling video title ever created...
It's giving me anime title vibes
So wholesome ❤
He literally lived my dream 😭
Well the first one to get the spotlight of being the only MVP in a world championship as Support role was Mata. But men, the contribution of Keria in 2023 Season/Worlds is insane. Even overlapping the bot lane as part of his support champ meta.
the greatest tragedy is that they won too hard and he couldnt get blue side to play lux and get his skin
That title is crazy
I don't know if it was for legal reason, but you should have added the video when new jeans signed keria's merch.
Keria got the New jeans Buff 💪
This worlds is really unfair we really got
Faker redemption mode
Keria power of simp
Zeus mr. i can take on the whole squad
And Guma better than Ruler mode
No oner silence the doubters?
@@kentila-on1594 oh! my bad ☠️ thought I typed him in
how did stan loona meme reach this place orbits are built diff
keira happy = everyone happy ❤
This is the storyline of 2023
Bard dancing newjeans is gonna be a hype worlds skin tbf
now i wish they reference this sceene on next world anthem
did anyone forget about the only guy who won worlds mvp as support is Mata?
His brain: If i become godly gamer, kpop idols with notice me.
proceed to unleash his full power
It is a mistake to say that support doesnt require as much skill as other roles...supports then to use like 4 activation items, keep warding score, fight vision, score hard skillshots meanwhile giving space to the adc, I think its one of the most complicated roles to play
Newjeans buff is real for keria
he is by far.
okay KPOP stan Buff is insane
Who knew NewJeans was the final push for Keria to win it all 😂
Legends never forget Wolf
got goosebumps
KERIA x MINJI NEW JEANS BUFF
Very ool, reducing one of the best/most talented players that league has ever seen to a stan of a kpop group, very cool indeed
T1's fifth worlds will be for LUX skin
I feel like Keria is such a mismatch in the bot lane. Imagine Faker or Chokevey is your support.
My life for madlife
that day keria won twice
He got buffed at the finals. Unfair for LGD
Smol Keria
My man is fr Todo from jujustu kaisen right now
New Jeans Buff Activate!!!!
The 2024 STAN LOONA reference tho
Wait wtf? They didn't let the guy get a Lux skin? Dafuq??? That shit would sell like hotcakes.
they have the rule that you need to play that champ at worlds to get it...sadly he didn't played it.... they do have intention of picking it if they got blue side on finals but wbg didn't let them get the blue side lol
It's not always about the game, it is also about the grass.
Riot did a great job bringing the players' favorite music group, best joke this year players eliminating all opponents to meet NewJeans, so cute.
bro i actually spit my coffee out when you said some people think he is the best player in the world thats just so silly like calm down buddy
Love the guy
he didnt won because he wanted to meet NJ, he is a man with a career in professional gaming in the team that has won worlds multiple times with the "Messi" of LoL in the team.....that's why he won worlds....because he's been training for years...
They really should have used his 2k clip against jdg
