NewJeans may be a rookie group with one year on their career belt. However, despite being new to the K-pop scene, the group's meteoric rise was one that no one could've ever predicted.
With their presence dominating both domestic and international areas, their influence and music have reached out to audiences around the world. This popularity surge led them to have their first collaboration with Riot Games.
On October 4, Riot Games released the collab track "GODS," which is the anthem for the 2023 League of Legends World Championship.
2. LE SSERAFIM & Overwatch 2
