Not only Kim Taeyeon, Kim Hyoyeon also enjoyed MOBA on mobile besides knowing how fun MOBA is which is a popular genre in South Korea. However, for Honor of Kings which is something unfamiliar in South Korea, Hyoyeon also enjoys this game made by Level Infinite which is currently popular in Indonesia.
Hyoyeon announced the fun of playing as Lady Zhen on her Instagram hyoyeon_x_x on September 14, 2024. Apart from giving opinions and loading screens from the Honor of Kings game, there is no information regarding comments about herself and the fun of playing Honor of Kings.
However, the presence of Honor of Kings as a recognition in South Korea is the best potential for Level Infinite to spread its wings towards South Korea. Moreover, with the hype of MOBA and battle royale in South Korea, the presence of Honor of Kings can also be the best choice for playing games anywhere, although on the other hand, the stigma about MOBA in South Korea is still focused on PC games rather than mobile.
Honor of Kings is a MOBA game made by Level Infinite that is heading global in 2024, and Brazil is the first region for Level Infinite for the prospect of its MOBA game in 2023. However, until now, there has been no announcement regarding the release of Honor of Kings in South Korea, and SNSD’s Hyoyeon is very likely to play not in her home country, or is suspected of being on vacation in another country.
On the other hand, Honor of Kings Champions 2024 will be held in October 2024, while the HOK ID Championship 2024 Final Stage will be held on September 20-22, 2024 at Tennis Indoor Senayan, Jakarta. Will this recognition from SNSD’s Hyoyeon give Honor of Kings a spotlight for South Korean gamers?
