On September 20, an event announcement and a Kakao Pay VP top-up discount notice were posted side by side on the official Valorant website. The event began a day later, at 11:00 on September 21, and as of the time of checking (18:00 on 2026.09.21), in-game item distribution is under way. This event is a partnership-style package that bundles limited in-game items with KakaoTalk emoticons and a Kakao Pay payment discount.
The Valorant Chuseok event runs for 2 weeks, ending at 23:59 on October 5
It starts on September 21, 2026, at 11:00 and ends on October 5 at 23:59. Two weeks. That is the schedule Riot Games set in the official Valorant notice. It runs past Chuseok day, September 25, and continues until after the holiday ends. According to the official notice archive, the first Chuseok event notice is dated September 25, 2020.
Two weeks is long even among past Chuseok events. The reason to check the end time first is that the three kinds of benefits close in different ways. Only the in-game item keeps the October 5, 23:59 date. The KakaoTalk Agent-ticons end when their stock runs out, and the Kakao Pay VP discount ends when its budget runs out.
Just 1 game in any of 9 PvP modes is enough; Practice Range and custom games are excluded
The condition is a single line: "Obtainable upon completing 1 play in a PvP mode (Unrated, Competitive, Replication, Deathmatch, Swiftplay, Team Deathmatch, Spike Rush, Escalation, Gauntlet: System Error)." That is the wording of the original notice. All 9 modes count, including casual modes, so the bar is low. You don't need to play Competitive.
Two are left out: Practice Range and custom games. The notice as reprinted by Ruliweb also specifies the same exclusions. This means that a game spent only refining your aim in the Practice Range, or in a custom room, does not count. Where you play doesn't matter; a PC cafe or home counts the same. In short, finishing a single game in any PvP mode during the event period meets the condition.
However, the identity of the "Chuseok limited in-game item" and when it is delivered are not written in the body of the September 20 notice. The notice says only "obtainable upon completing 1 play," which reads as automatic delivery. On the other hand, descriptions on the dedicated event page and related materials say that after finishing a game you must press a claim button on the page to complete delivery. Which of the two is correct had not been confirmed as of 18:00 on the 21st.
Kakao Pay VP discount of 10%: the top-up amount that saves the maximum 13,000 won is
Putting the conditions of the three benefits side by side makes the differences clear.
| Benefit | Condition | Limit | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limited in-game item | Complete 1 game in 9 PvP modes | Name and quantity not stated | October 5, 23:59 |
| 16 Agent-ticons | Add the KakaoTalk channel and click the menu | Once per account | Until stock runs out |
| 10% discount on VP top-up | Pay with Kakao Pay Money | Up to 13,000 won | Until budget runs out |
The discount rate is 10% of the payment amount, and the cap is 13,000 won. To receive the full 13,000 won, you need to top up 130,000 won (13,000 won ÷ 0.1). In its dedicated notice, Riot Games said the discount applies once per person per Kakao Pay account and only to payments made with Kakao Pay Money. It ends when the budget runs out.
The Agent-ticon route is outside the game. Add the "Valorant Official" channel on KakaoTalk and press the "Check your Chuseok luck" menu. The notice says that if you win after pressing this menu, 16 types of "Hangawi Agent-ticons" are delivered automatically. It is limited to 1 time per KakaoTalk account at most, and ends at the point when the stock runs out.
The Agent-ticons end when their stock runs out and the VP discount when its budget runs out, without advance notice. They may already be closed by the time a reader logs in. Only the in-game reward has a firm date. Riot Games wrote in the notice: "Obtainable upon completing 1 play in a PvP mode (Unrated, Competitive …)."
