Here is some news that would perk
up the Philippines’ K-Pop fans as well as regular gamer-fans of Riot Games’ “DOTA”
title “League of Legends.” Internet denizens would probably already make a
connected between K-Pop and the popular battle arena online game, and they
would actually be half right. Right in the middle of this year the K-Pop girl group
(with a multinational membership) G-Idle is coming to the country for one concert
as part of their 2020 world tour. Two members of that group will be familiar to
“League” fans as the vocals for two members of the game’s very own virtual K-Pop
band.
As ABS-CBN News tells it, G-Idle is set to kick off their “I-Land: Who
Am I” world tour starting in April 2020. This was made loud and clear on their
official social media accounts such as Twitter on Tuesday, January 28. The
six-girl K-Pop group is under Cube Entertainment, and stormed into the scene
two years ago with “Latata” on their debut EP “I Am.” The team is notable for
being only half-South Korean (Miyeon, Soojin, and Soyeon), with the other half
of their roster from overseas (Thai Minnie, mainland Chinese Yuqi and Taiwanese
Shuhua).

But to players of “League of Legends”
from Riot Games, they would probably focus primarily on Miyeon and Soyeon, as
both provided some voice talent for K/DA, a virtual K-Pop girl quartet composed
of alternate-costumed characters from the arena game, which rocketed into
gaming and mainstream music popularity in 2018 thanks to their first and only
song, the Korean-English “PopStars.” Miyeon sang the part of main vocalist and
group leader Ahri, a nine-tailed fox-girl, while Soyeon voiced ninja rapper
Akali. American singers Jaira Burns and Madison Beer rounded out the roster as backup
vocals/dancer Kai’Sa and secondary vocalist Evelynn respectively.
G-Idle will hit Manila on June 13
as part of their “I-World: Who Am I” concert tour, however no venue, organizer
partners or ticket details have been provided thus far.
