Munchkin joined Crazy Raccoon in January 2021 as one of the founding members of the roster. There, the Korean found domestic success as they won Stage 1: Masters and subsequently Stage 2: Challengers Finals, becoming Japan's representatives at the first interregional LAN, Masters Reykjavik. Afterward, the team maintained their international presence as they participated in both Masters Berlin and Champions, but failed to attain much success.
