BNK FEARX lost 1-2 to Hanwha Life Esports in their 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 1 match held at LoL PARK in Jongno on the 10th. In the post-match media interview, head coach Park Jun-seok described the team's current situation, saying, "Our synergy, which used to be solid, has been off. We've had some friction due to our poor performance, and we are currently in the process of resolving those issues."

The following is the full transcript of the interview with head coach Park Jun-seok and 'Raptor' Jeon Eo-jin.

Q. What is your overall assessment of today's match?

Head Coach Park= We talked a lot after our loss last week, and I think we've made significant progress. It really felt like it came down to a razor-thin margin. Our pick-ban phase went well, and our execution was solid. However, we slipped up at a crucial moment, which led to a disappointing result.

'Raptor'= I think our actual gameplay has improved a lot, but I'm very disappointed that we made such big mistakes in today's match.

Q. You had a strong start to the year, but it feels like your momentum stalled midway through. Still, you mentioned that your performance is recovering.

Head Coach Park= I think we reached this point because the synergy that used to work for us during the First Stand stopped clicking. The players are all aware of this. We are working hard to communicate and provide feedback to get that in-game synergy back on track.

Q. 'Raptor', as a player, what differences do you feel in yourself between the start of the year and now.

'Raptor'= I feel like my play has become rushed since the First Stand, so I've been thinking about that a lot. I'm in the process of improving now.

Q. You mentioned it was a razor-thin margin; what was the most regrettable moment?

Head Coach Park= The most regrettable part was losing the 5v5 team fight in Game 3 so easily. If we had managed to pick off some opponents there, I don't think the game would have spiraled out of control like that.

'Raptor'= The situation at the Gromp in Game 3 was the most disappointing. Our Aurora was already there, and Gnar was pushing top, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for us to make a play, but our communication was off.

Q. You mentioned that your team synergy was good but then slipped. What do you think is the reason for that.

Head Coach Park= I think because we have the same roster, there are inherent issues we've been carrying. Ideally, everyone would click perfectly, but there are bound to be areas where we don't, and we've been trying to manage those. Because the results weren't coming, we had some arguments. We are currently in the process of resolving those things.

Q. Last year, the team focused on a bot-centric game, but in the LCK Cup, you seemed to utilize the top side more. However, in the current regular season, it feels like the top side's performance hasn't reached its full potential yet.

Head Coach Park= I'm aware of that as well. However, it's not just a top-side issue; I believe our overall form has dipped, so we are focusing on raising that right now. If you put too much pressure on one side, your strategy eventually gets countered, so I believe we need to try various strategies. That's why I'm giving a lot of instructions to the top side as well. I would appreciate it if you could see this as part of that process.

Q. Any final words?

Head Coach Park= It's very disappointing that we lost today. Still, we are continuing to improve, so I would appreciate your continued support. We will definitely win against DN Supers.

'Raptor'= Our results aren't great right now, but I do think our gameplay has improved a lot. We will make sure to win the next match.
