XZY has anchored Nongshim RedForce since the division's first day
Kim Jun-ha, who plays as XZY, started his recorded career in 2020 with EGC Shift and passed through TRIDENT and DS Gaming, winning the Pro Series 2022 Season 3 title with DS. When Nongshim RedForce opened its PUBG Mobile division on 8 November 2022, he joined on day one, and he is still there four years later, the only player who has been present for the division's entire life.
RedForce's rise runs through his results list: the Pro Series 2023 Season 2 title, seventh at PMGC 2023, sixth at the World Cup 2025, and then a 2026 season that swept almost everything Korean PUBG Mobile offered. In the space of five months he won Pro Series Season 1, the Macao Invitational, the Korean Esports League and Pro Series Season 2, with a World Cup runner-up finish in between.
Mumbai gives him a new kind of test. His BMIC 2026 place came through the KEL title rather than any India result, and RedForce start among the favourites, but the lobby holds two rosters built from players he has never shared a stage with at this event. How the veteran of the squad handles India's six home teams is one of the stories of the weekend.
Mumbai turned XZY from favourite into champion and tournament MVP. Nongshim RedForce won BMIC 2026 with 233 points from 18 matches, five Chicken Dinners and 148 finishes, finishing 82 points clear of DRX. XZY took the Google Play MVP award with 45 finishes and a ₹2,50,000 prize, and the title sent RedForce into the PMGC 2026 Gauntlet.
