Nongshim RedForce Nongshim RedForce Korea Rank #1 WoohyuN Moon Woo-hyun (문우현) Xross Jeonghwan (정환) Rb Goo Sang-min (구상민) Francis Kim Mu-bin (김무빈) Dambi Lee Hyuk-kyu (이혁규) Ivy Park Sung-hyeon (박성현) has signed Moon "WoohyuN" Woo-hyun (문우현), a young, up-and-coming prospect.

Very well-known on the Korean competitive scene, WoohyuN has reached the top of the Radiant leaderboard numerous times, earning plaudits from professional players and streamers like t3xture , Doenmo , and 972 .

At 15 years old, WoohyuN is very much a signing for the future. If the global age limit for VCT remains at 18 for next season, he will turn eligible in the 2029 season. Should the minimum age requirement move down to 17, he will be eligible in 2028. His contract, which has been announced as having a four-year duration, will expire at the end of the 2030 season.

Nongshim is not the first Korean team to sign an underage prospect this year. Earlier this year, Gen.G Gen.G Korea Rank #3 Ash Ha Hyun-cheol (하현철) Karon Kim Won-tae (김원태) t3xture Kim Na-ra (김나라) Efina Kim Nak-yeon (김낙연) Raxcal Kim Min-seok (김민석) signed the 16-year-old Xiesta , who has been hailed as one of the biggest up-and-coming stars not just for the org, but for Korean Valorant as a whole.

With issues like military service always a concern for Korean Esports players between the ages of 18 and 28, adding a player like WoohyuN could not only prove to be a good investment for Nongshim, but could also provide the team with a reliable player to step in once he is eligible.

Nongshim, after winning Pacific Kickoff and dropping just one map in a dominating run to win Masters Santiago, has cooled off a bit. With the Neon and Yoru nerfs surely playing a factor, the team has slipped from the top of Pacific and the World, finishing 7th-8th in Stage 1. Before heading into Stage 2, Nongshim will participate in the Esports World Cup.
