Faker has unlocked a police rank without leaving the League of Legends server. South Korea’s National Police Agency made Lee Sang-hyeok its first honorary officer from esports and assigned him the senior officer grade in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. That rank normally sits on a cyber-investigation career track, while his global recognition and disciplined reputation drove the pick.
His new side quest tackles youth cyber gambling. Faker will front prevention work and help shape video and poster material tied to the Youth Cyber Gambling Voluntary Reporting System, which asks younger participants to disclose their gambling behavior. Police are leaning on his reach inside Korea and overseas to boost anti-gambling and wider cybercrime messaging.
Celebrity police ambassadors are old meta there. Those slots usually support outreach and crime-prevention pushes. Earlier picks span IU, Lim Ji-yeon from The Glory, and Don Lee, also called Ma Dong-seok, from The Outlaws. Faker also holds Game Ambassador roles for the Esports World Cup and the Esports Nations Cup, with a commemorative South Korean stamp planned.
