'Aiming' Kim Ha-ram, the ranged damage dealer who was abruptly traded from kt Rolster to DRX, has shared his stance on the rumors of internal discord and the trade process.

'Aiming' Kim Ha-ram stated, "During the feedback process for team development, a difference of opinion led to an emotional argument with another player, and I deeply regret the inappropriate language exchanged during that time."

He explained that he had expressed his intention to the coaching staff to maintain a professional, business-like relationship and finish the season, but after the other player strongly refused to continue working together, he ultimately followed the team's final decision. However, he expressed regret that there was insufficient opportunity for communication with the organization during this process.

Kim added that while he is saddened by this conclusion given his deep affection for the team, he is grateful to his teammates, the coaching staff, and the fans, and promised to return as a more mature player.

Meanwhile, kt Rolster recently fielded rookie 'Fenrir' Park Gang-jun instead of Kim in the KeSPA Cup and LCK matches, and head coach Go Dong-bin directly acknowledged the rumors of discord between players in a post-match interview. Today, kt Rolster officially announced a trade swapping 'Aiming' Kim Ha-ram for DRX's ranged damage dealer 'Jiwoo' Jung Ji-woo.
