Gen.G’s VALORANT roster is dealing with a rough stretch, as the Korean organization announced two notable roster moves in one week–the departure of Sentinel player Jung “Foxy9” Jae-sung and a wrist injury that will sideline their newest addition, Kim “ZynX” Dong-ha, for an undetermined period.
Gen.G confirmed on April 24 that ZynX, the 18-year-old who only made his official VCT debut with Gen.G earlier this year, will miss upcoming matches due to a wrist injury. The team said he’s been advised to rest and focus on recovery, with the full support of the organization behind him.
ZynX had been one of the more intriguing young players to watch in the Pacific region this season. A former DRX Academy standout, he had already been used as a stand-in for Gen.G at the SOOP VALORANT League and the Radiant Asia Invitational before being signed permanently in January.
He is versatile enough to play Sentinel, Viper, and secondary Duelist, which made him a strong fit for the Gen.G roster. So, losing him, even temporarily, is a huge blow for the team.
KiTae steps in starting April 25, and Foxy9 is officially out after 18 months
To fill Zynx’s gap, Gen.G has called up Park “KiTae” Ki-tae from their Global Academy VALORANT squad. KiTae will slot into the active roster and compete alongside the main team beginning with the April 25 match against DRX.
Just a day earlier, on April 23, Gen.G dropped another update that they have mutually parted ways with Foxy9, ending his 18-month stint with the org. Foxy9 originally joined Gen.G in October 2024 after he departed from DRX alongside BuZz and BeYN.
He was the team’s primary Sentinel player heading into the 2025 season, and Gen.G even made it to VCT Masters Toronto 2025, finishing fifth or sixth. However, things began to change heading into 2026.
The org brought in Kim “ZynX” Dong-ha from DRX Academy in January, shifting the roster dynamics significantly. Foxy9 was moved to the bench, made two Stage 1 appearances, and both resulted in losses.
He has posted an LFT message on X and has made it known he’s open to opportunities both within Pacific and in other regions.
Gen.G came into 2026 with high expectations. They made moves, rebuilt around a younger core, and looked to push back toward the international stage after a difficult 2025. But these back-to-back roster disruptions show the team is currently playing through some adversity.
It’s still unclear how long ZynX will be out, and the org’s Playoffs qualification looks bleak now, after one win and two losses. If the recovery takes longer than anticipated, KiTae’s stand-in role becomes far more important, as Gen.G will need their stand-in to hold things steady while they wait for ZynX to return in a healthy condition.
