Riftbound Korean Exclusives: Every Korea-Only Card Explained

Riftbound launched in Korean on September 18, 2026 with one Korea-only booster card and two launch promos. Every confirmed Korean exclusive and version.

As of October 2026, Riot Games has confirmed three cards that are tied specifically to Korea: the Overnumber Ahri, Nine-Tailed Fox found only in Korean Origins booster packs, and two launch promos, Jinx, Demolitionist with a launch stamp and Yasuo, Remorseful with new art by a Korean artist. Everything else sold as a "Korean exclusive" is either a Korean-language printing of a card that exists elsewhere, or part of the T1 collection, which was produced in three languages.

This guide lists what is confirmed, where each card comes from, and how to tell the versions apart. It covers only what Riot or established outlets have published. Where something has not been announced, it says so.

Background: Riftbound in Korea

Riftbound, the League of Legends trading card game, launched in Korean on September 18, 2026 with its first set, Origins. Riot's announcement lists the launch products as Origins booster packs, five-card Origins booster packs, three Champion Decks (Jinx, Lee Sin and Viktor), and Proving Grounds, a box with four ready-to-play decks.

Launch events ran in Seoul at Gen.G GGX from September 18 to 23 and at Dopamine Station on the third floor of IPARK Mall Yongsan from September 18 to 30.

Korea starts behind the global release schedule. Riot's plan is Spiritforged in Korean in December 2026, seven Korean sets in 2027 from Unleashed through Set 9, and parity with the global schedule at the start of 2028 with Set 10. The full schedule is in Riftbound in Korea: release timeline.

Ahri, Nine-Tailed Fox (Overnumber)

This is the only card confirmed to exist in Korean booster packs and nowhere else.

What it is: a new Overnumber version of Ahri, Nine-Tailed Fox, created for the Korean launch.
Art: by Allen Song, described by Riot as a Korean art director, with a nod to Dynasty Ahri.
Where it is found: Korean Origins booster packs only. Inven Global, reporting from the launch showcase, confirmed it is available only in the Korean edition of Origins.
How it relates to the regular card: it appears alongside the original Ahri Overnumber in Korean packs. It does not replace it.

Riot's executive producer for Riftbound, Chengran Chai, described the card at the showcase as a special gift for Korean players. Riot's written announcement adds an important line for collectors: it does not plan to introduce Korean-exclusive cards in boosters often. In other words, this is intended as a launch gesture, not the first of a series.

Riot has not published a pull rate for the card. Any odds you see quoted are estimates from people opening product.

A dedicated walkthrough of the versions is in the Korean Ahri Overnumber card guide.

Yasuo, Remorseful (launch promo)

What it is: a promo version of Yasuo, Remorseful with new artwork by South Korean artist Kim Star.
Where it comes from: Riot's announcement says it is exclusively available at select Origins launch events in Korea, and adds that you may have to look a little harder to find him than Jinx.
Supply: not announced. Riot's wording signals it is the scarcer of the two launch promos.

The card was already circulating before the September launch. Resellers and a retailer blog reported it being given out by lottery at Riot's Riftbound booth during the MSI Fan Festa in Daejeon in July 2026. Riot's own announcement does not describe that distribution or its odds, so treat specific claims about how many were given out as unverified.

Jinx, Demolitionist (launch stamp promo)

What it is: Jinx, Demolitionist with her original art and a special launch stamp marking the Korean release.
Where it comes from: Riot says players first spotted this version at its Riftbound booth at MSI and Wildfest, and it is one of the two promos tied to the Korean launch events.
How it differs from the regular card: same illustration, plus the stamp and Korean text. The stamp is what you are paying for.

Because the artwork is not new and the card has appeared at more than one event, it is likely to be the more common of the two launch promos, which matches Riot's own hint that Yasuo is harder to find.

GG EZ Teemo (Korean)

Riot describes Nexus Nights as its weekly program where players learn, bring a deck, play and join a local community, and says attendees might get a Korean GG EZ Teemo. That is a Korean-language version of an organized play promo, not a Korea-only design. Distribution details by store have not been published. More on store play promos is in Riftbound organized play promos in Korea.

The T1 collection: limited, but not Korea-only

The Riftbound x T1 2025 Worlds Champion Collection celebrates T1's 2025 World Championship win. It is frequently listed as a Korean exclusive. It is not.

Signature Edition. According to Inven Global and GosuGamers:

10,125 copies were produced per language, in English, Chinese and Korean.
Each set has five Champion cards chosen to match the T1 players: Ambessa, The Wolf (Doran), Galio, Indefatigable (Faker), Miss Fortune, Buccaneer (Gumayusi), Xin Zhao, Vigilant (Oner) and Seraphine, Not Alone (Keria).
One of the five cards in each set is serialized, numbered from 1 to 2,025, with a gold-stamped player signature.
GosuGamers reported prices of US$360 for English, 2,025 yuan for Chinese and 500,000 won for Korean.

The English version was sold through a drawing on the Riot Merch store in August 2026. Riot's merch update said the Korean version would be released the same day alongside a T1 event, handled within the region.

One play note: Seraphine, Not Alone comes from the Radiance set and is not legal for competitive play until Radiance releases on October 23, according to Inven Global.

Player Bundle. The same five cards with different artwork, plus sleeves, a deck box, a binder and a metal die. GosuGamers listed it at US$70, 399 yuan and 100,000 won. Riot's Korean launch announcement says the T1 Player Bundle will be available in Korea later in 2026, matching the timing in the rest of the world.

So the Korean Signature Edition is a Korean-language printing of a product that exists in equal numbers in two other languages. What is specific to it is the language on the cards.

Regular Korean cards and Korean Standard

Every other card in Korean Origins is a Korean-language printing of the global card. These are not exclusives, though the Korean text makes them distinct for collectors.

For players, Riot created a temporary format called Korean Standard, defined by the sets released in Korean. It starts with Origins only and adds Spiritforged in December. The global banned list applies, and stores may choose to run global Standard instead. What actually differs between the languages is in Riftbound Korean vs English cards.

What has not been announced

As of October 2026, Riot has not published:

pull rates for the Korean Ahri Overnumber,
print quantities for the Jinx or Yasuo promos,
whether either promo will be distributed again,
the full promo list for the Korean competitive series that begins in December 2026.

Riot's announcement does not give collector numbers for the promos either. If a listing quotes a number, check it against the card in the photos.

Buying notes

Ask the seller which exact version is for sale: Overnumber Ahri (Korean-only art or original), stamped Jinx, or new-art Yasuo.
For promos, ask whether the card is still in its original sealed wrap.
Remember that distribution may not be over. The pattern of repeat releases is explained in Korea-exclusive promo cards.

The K Drop sells only authentic cards, shipped from Korea to the US with tracking. See the cards page for what is available now.
