Nevertheless, Kyedae’s little sister Sakura decided to clear the air and spoke about it during her recent stream. At first, she expressed how she could still not believe the Valorant pro was sick as she took good care of herself. “She was literally working and streaming, and I never saw her. She was indoors, and she was turning so pale, I was like, holy, this is not good for you,” Sakura said.
