All six performance and training analysts for the South Korean national League of Legends team for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games have been announced.

The Korea e-Sports Association announced via its official social media channels that Kim 'Rascal' Gwang-hee, Kim 'Deft' Hyeok-gyu, Kim 'Khan' Dong-ha, and Yeon 'Sin' Hyeong-mo will serve as strategic analysts, while Kim 'Ikryong' Geun-hyeong and Park 'PS' Jeong-woon will join as training analysts to strengthen the national team's training system and performance.

Despite currently serving in the South Korean Army, Kim 'Deft' Hyeok-gyu and Kim 'Rascal' Gwang-hee were cleared to join as strategic analysts in recognition of their public service contribution to the national team. Kim 'Khan' Dong-ha has been active as a streamer since his retirement, while Yeon 'Sin' Hyeong-mo is currently a coach for Hanwha Life Esports.

Analysts Kim 'Deft' Hyeok-gyu, Kim 'Rascal' Gwang-hee, Kim 'Khan' Dong-ha, and Yeon 'Sin' Hyeong-mo have all previously worked with head coach Kang Dong-hoon. Each spent approximately one to two years working with him as players or coaches during their time at Kingzone DragonX (now DRX).

Park 'PS' Jeong-woon has been running the 'Pro Gwanjeon-leo P.S.' YouTube channel, which specializes in LoL statistics and analysis, since 2018. Kim 'Ikryong' Geun-hyeong previously served as a coach for Afreeca Freecs (now Kwangdong Freecs) and the Hanwha Life Esports academy before gaining further coaching experience in overseas leagues.

Meanwhile, the final roster for the South Korean LoL national team heading to the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games includes six players: Choi 'Zeus' Woo-je, Kim 'Canyon' Geon-bu, Kim 'Zeka' Geon-woo, Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok, Lee 'Gumayusi' Min-hyeong, and Ryu 'Keria' Min-seok. With their primary rival, China, having announced its withdrawal, the South Korean team is aiming for a second consecutive gold medal.
