Esports legend T1’s Faker (Lee Sang-hyeok) confessed to aespa’s Karina.
On the 8th, Google Play dropped a teaser for its short-form series campaign ‘PLAY ON PLAY’ starring Faker and Karina.
The roughly 19-second clip shows Faker standing on a cherry-blossom-lined street. As Karina is about to board a bus, he gently grabs her wrist and says, "I like you," instantly grabbing attention. Paired with his narration — "Maybe I’ve found certainty, not as Faker anymore, but as the man Lee Sang-hyeok" — the moment feels straight out of a youth romance film.
Once the teaser went live, netizens flooded comments like, "A combo I never imagined," "It feels like a dream after watching Karina’s fancam and T1’s match last night," "I don’t even know who to be jealous of," and "Can’t believe we’re seeing these two in the same ad."
The full campaign video is slated to drop on the 15th.
