On the 27th, T1 posted on their official Instagram a photo showing Kim (20), known as the 'Line 6 Angel Young Man,' wearing a T1 jumper and bag, looking at a photo of Faker (Lee Sang-hyeok) from behind.

The photo included the caption, "G.O.A.T and G.O.A.T's meeting. Finally, two G.O.A.Ts meet!" 'G.O.A.T' stands for 'Greatest Of All Time,' a term often used to mean 'the best ever.'

Earlier, on the 7th at around 10:36 PM, Kim boarded the train at Yeonsinnae Station on Line 6 and was heading toward Hapjeong Station when he noticed vomit left on the train seat. He personally cleaned it up, drawing attention. He bent his knees and sat down to wipe the vomit off the seat with tissue, then discouraged passengers from sitting there and guided them to other seats.

Kim's good deed became known through a video posted by a netizen on social media, which has now surpassed 6.51 million views.

The netizen who posted the video explained, "I was late getting on the subway due to work and saw vomit on the seat," adding, "A young man appeared and diligently cleaned it even though it wasn't his own vomit, which was very touching."

As Kim's story gained attention, on the 13th, T1's official Instagram posted, "We are looking for the T1 fan who spread positive influence."

The post included photos of Kim cleaning the vomit and his back as he left the scene. The reason T1 sought Kim was because the bag he was carrying was T1 merchandise. After some inquiries, a meeting between Kim and T1 was arranged.

Meanwhile, Seoul Metro expressed gratitude for Kim's good deed by awarding him a certificate of appreciation and souvenirs. In particular, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon shared on his SNS, "A few days ago, I met and encouraged the young man who personally cleaned another's vomit on Line 6 train," adding, "I was deeply moved by the young man's humble confession that he did it simply because he could."
