In a recent livestream,
retired legend jungler Han "
Peanut" Wang-ho reacted to Mun "
Oner" Hyeon-jun’s contract extension with
T1 through 2028. The LCK legend revealed that he had spoken with the reigning three-time World Champion and advised him to spend his entire career at T1, “
When I met Hyeon-jun (oner) after Worlds ended, I told him he has to keep going—absolutely. Stay a one-club man no matter what.”
An article on the Korean site Daum revealed that T1 had made their contract extension offer before the team traveled to China for the 2025 World Championship,
which they went on to win. T1 General Manager Jeong "becker" Hoi-yoon confirmed this approach, stating, "
We want him to stay with T1 for as long as possible."
Park Jae-seok, CEO of Shadow Corporation (Oner’s agency), remarked, "
Mun only had eyes for T1 from the start... His next goal is to be selected for the national team for the Asian Games, and we will do our best to support him in achieving that." This is something Oner
himself has mentioned—playing for South Korea at the Asian Games is clearly a goal, a side quest that would also grant him military exemption if he wins the competition.
He is thus one of the last representatives of T1’s “miracle generation” that emerged in 2021 and 2022, with Choi "Zeus" Woo-je and Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong having moved to Hanwha Life Esports. Only Oner and Ryu "Keria" Min-seok continue to surround Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, who has also been extended through 2029.
Peanut himself wore the T1 jersey; in 2017, he was part of the roster that won the LCK Spring Split and the Mid-Season Invitational, reached the Summer final, and fell in the World Championship final to Samsung Galaxy. During a visit to the 2025 LCK Exhibition, Faker left him a message on a post-it, asking him to return—but few players come back after such a long hiatus.
