However, it's revealed Lee Sang Hyuk doesn't spend much of his money, with the only big purchase being a home that he bought for him and his family. The 22-year-old gamer explained during an interview with OSEN on October 24, "My parents take care of my money. My monthly allowance does not exceed 200,000 ($177)." He added, "A lot of the expenses are taken care of by the team... and my fans gift me the books I like so there's not much that I need to spend on."
Meanwhile, Lee Sang Hyuk's team SK Telecom T1 is scheduled to go against China's RNG in the semi-finals for '2017 LoL World Championship' at The Shanghai Oriental Sports Center on October 28.
