Korean lawmaker calls for action after cyberbullying of T1’s Gumayusi

Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Jeon Yong-gi issued a public statement on November 20th calling for immediate action from esports bodies, online platforms and government institutions following sustained cyberbullying targeting Lee ‘Gumayusi’ Min-hyeong, the MVP of the 2025 League of Legends World Championship finals.

In a post on Facebook, Jeon criticised what he described as an ‘organised pattern of harassment’ originating from communities including the T1 Supporters Gallery (commonly known as ‘T1Gall’). The lawmaker stated that attacks against the player had ‘gone far beyond acceptable limits,’ urging an immediate end to what he called long-running, targeted abuse.
