Kanavi Debuts in LCK, Joins Hanwha Life Esports

Time: 2025-11-23 09:00 (UTC)

Jungler Seo "Kanavi" Jin-hyeok has joined  Hanwha Life Esports  and will compete in the LCK for the first time in his career.

After spending nearly seven years in China's LPL, the Korean player is making his debut in his home region.

During his time in China, Kanavi became one of the most recognizable and consistent junglers in the region. He frequently reached the finals of top tournaments and was a key figure in his teams' successes. His achievements include victories in the LPL 2022 Summer, LPL 2023 Spring, and LPL 2023 Summer, as well as regular top-4 finishes at the Worlds Championship in 2022, 2023, and 2025.

Kanavi's last year with the Chinese organization was one of his most eventful: securing silver at LPL Split 3 2025 and a top-4 finish at Worlds 2025 confirmed his status as a world-class player. Now, for the first time in a long while, he will compete in the LCK—the region where he began his career.

Kanavi's transfer is a central move in Hanwha Life Esports ' offseason restructuring. The team aims to strengthen the jungle position after last year's inconsistent results, and signing such an experienced player is expected to help elevate HLE to a new level. However, the club still needs to find a new AD Carry to complete the roster before the 2026 season.

Hanwha Life Esports ' projected roster for the 2026 season:

  • Kim "Zeus" Woo-je — Top
  • Seo "Kanavi" Jin-hyeok — Jungle
  • Kim "Zeka" Gon-woo — Mid
  • ADK —  TBD
  • Yoo "Delight" Hwan-joon — Support
