Get ready to cheer loudly, Bunnies! K-pop girl group NewJeans will be taking over the 2023 League of Legends World Championship with their music. 

On Thursday, September 27, League of Legends announced that South Korean girl group NewJeans will be featured in the Worlds 2023 Anthem titled “Gods.”

Composed of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein, the group took on the challenge to try on a new genre with this project. “It was fun to try a new genre and sound. Through this collaboration, we are happy to present a song that incorporates both NewJeans and League of Legends’ unique colors,” the band said in a press release.

Moreover, the “Hype Boy” hitmakers hoped it would bring a new sense of empowerment to the players.

NewJeans in League of Legends competition

For those who don’t know, the League of Legends World Championship is a major annual professional tournament hosted by Riot Games. Teams from all over the world compete rigorously in a series of League of Legends battles. 

In its 2023 edition, the prestigious competition will take place in South Korea. During the  previous years, Riot Games worked with big names in the music industry including Imagine Dragons and Lil Nas. 

Carrie Dun, the Global head of creative at Riot Games shared his thoughts in the collaboration. “Between Worlds taking place in Korea and NewJeans’ meteoric rise, this partnership felt fated as a true cultural celebration,” he said. 

Additionally, he believes that “Gods” as the official anthem will set the stage for what’s bound to be an incredible World.
