Gaming for leisure is a perfectly normal need, and everyone, young and old, can indulge in their favorite games if they have the right equipment and, most importantly, time. In fact, some studies suggest that gaming not only helps people relieve stress but, with certain games, also aids in developing logical thinking and intelligence…
However, for those working in specialized fields, gaming can be a relatively… extravagant hobby. It’s not because the games they play are expensive, but because these “special” gamers have very little free time. In fact, for some of them, even resting and eating can consume their time.
When everyone assumes these individuals wouldn’t have time to game like ordinary people, many of them, both in Vietnam and worldwide, have become “famous” gamers within the community. They even use gaming to bridge the gap between fans and idols.
1. Kim Hee-chul (Super Junior)
Speaking of gaming addiction, we must mention Hee-chul, the singer from the famous K-pop group Super Junior. Not only is he a “funny guy” and comedian on game shows, but Hee-chul is also a dedicated gamer of the popular game developed by Riot – League of Legends. His idol is none other than the “Demon King” Faker from the T1 team.
Hee-chul’s fanaticism for his idol is even rivaling that of any of his fans. There are reports that Hee-chul once canceled a Christmas party to participate in the game show Radio Star just because Faker was on the show…
2. Rapper Eminem
On the list of “gaming addicts,” we definitely can’t forget the owner of the hit “Rap God” – the legendary rapper Eminem. The 47-year-old hip-hop star has a huge passion for the game Call of Duty – a well-known title developed by Activision.
Another special thing is that Eminem was invited to perform for their latest game at the time, Call of Duty: Ghost. Although the game wasn’t very successful, it cannot be denied that the rapper who once “rapped 100 words in 16 seconds” has a fierce passion for it.
3. Snoop Dogg
The top African American rapper in the U.S. has also admitted that he really enjoys the game Call of Duty. He was even invited to do voice work for this popular shooting game.
In addition, Snoop Dogg is also a fan of the baseball-related game NFL 20 and even livestreamed this game on the Twitch platform. However, his streaming career lasted only 26 minutes before he was… defeated by an opponent.
4. Ngô Kiến Huy
Returning to Vietnamese showbiz, the first name to mention is none other than the owner of the hit “Pretend to Love” that accompanied the youth of the 8x and 9x generations – Ngô Kiến Huy. The singer, nicknamed “Bắp,” is a loyal gamer of the famous game Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Additionally, he also really enjoys League of Legends with his favorite champion being Taric.
To be able to play Black Ops 4 smoothly, Ngô Kiến Huy had to invest in a powerful setup worth up to 55 million VND. Interestingly, if you often visit TH Gaming – a gaming center in Ho Chi Minh City, you might encounter Ngô Kiến Huy gaming with Ngọc Trai from Kính Vạn Hoa.
5. Sơn Tùng M-TP
As a top star in Vietnamese showbiz despite his young age, deep down, he is still a 26-year-old guy who wants to relax and do what he loves. And for Sơn Tùng, gaming is one of those things.
As a fan of PlayStation games, it’s not hard to spot images of Sếp Tùng gaming with close friends. According to his own revelation, whenever there are disagreements or misunderstandings, Tùng and Quang Huy often choose to pause everything and… play a few games together. When the tension is relieved, communication becomes much easier.
Gaming is a very simple pleasure, but when we learn that top stars share this hobby, an invisible connection forms between fans and idols.
