Aiming speaks out on his departure from KT Rolster

Hello, this is Aiming (Kim Ha-ram).

I am writing this statement not to criticize anyone or assign blame, but to share my perspective with those who may have been concerned by the sudden news.

Wanting the team to improve, I actively gave feedback throughout the process. However, differences in opinion gradually arose, and during that time I experienced negative treatment from certain members of the coaching staff. As the disagreements continued, hurtful words were exchanged between us.

In the process, both sides failed to control our emotions, crossed the line with excessive expressions, and behaved inappropriately toward each other. I deeply regret that I did not handle the situation more maturely and that I said things that caused significant hurt.

Afterward, I had a meeting with the head coach. I expressed my willingness to set aside my personal feelings and continue working together as a professional, remaining with the team until the end of the season. However, the coaching staff firmly stated that it would be difficult for us to continue together, making it impossible to resolve the situation.

As a result, I chose to respect the organization's final decision. That said, I personally regret that, during such an important decision-making process, I was not given enough opportunity to have an in-depth discussion with the organization about my perspective and thoughts.

Last year as well, despite having several options, I chose to re-sign because of my affection for the team and the good memories I had here, which makes the outcome even more disappointing. Even so, I sincerely cherish the time we spent together, and I remain grateful to my teammates, the coaching staff, and all the fans who have always supported me.

Thank you very much for all the support you have given me. I will continue working hard so that I can greet you again as a more mature person.

Thank you.
