BNK FEARX have always been one of the teams fighting each year to be among the playoff qualifiers, just behind the handful of organizations that have traditionally dominated the LCK. For the 2026 season, they will keep their five starting players who helped them secure sixth place in the LCK as well as win the year-end Asia Invitational.

Song "Clear" Hyeon-min remains the toplaner, with Jeon "Raptor" Eo-jin and Lee "VicLa" Dae-kwang completing the topside. Meanwhile, Kim "Kellin" Hyeong-gyu and Nam "Diable" Dae-geun hold down the botlane. All players are signed through 2026.

Despite interest from teams like Invictus Gaming in the LPL, according to rumors, Diable will indeed stay as BFX’s AD Carry. After earning Rookie of the Year honors following a remarkable 2025 season, the 18-year-old carry will at least honor his contract through 2026, remaining with the club that has developed him since early 2022 for a fifth consecutive year.

A sixth-man and coaching staff changes

The biggest change for FEARX happens on the bench. In 2026, they will officially form a six-man roster with the promotion of their midlaner from BNK FEARX Youth, Yoo "Daystar" Ji-myeong. This won’t be his first LCK appearance, as the club already gave him playing time as a substitute for VicLa during the season—most notably against KT Rolster last May—to try and change the team’s momentum mid-year. Additionally, he won the LCK CL with the academy team this year.

Along with this change, Park "Edo" Jun-seok becomes BFX’s new head coach, replacing Ryu "Ryu" Sang-wook, who is moving on to Gen.G. The coaching staff also welcomes Shin "Rather" Hyeong-seop and Nam "LirA" Tae-yoo, who fill the vacancy left by Cho "Joker" Jae-eup.
