FYI: We understand previously Riot was more flexible with their copyright and reactions to their videos. However, in recent months this has since been changed (the copyright landscape can always change as it depends on the Copyright holder and whether they want to claim it). That said, we've been getting flagged for certain parts of these videos so that is why we've had to alter/muffle portions. If we didn't then the video would be completely blocked and wouldn't even be able to publish it. Thanks all for understanding! We always care about giving y'all the best viewing experience 😌🫶
Hey man, you gotta do what you gotta do, copyright (UA-cam especially) have been problematic and wonky for a while. It's certainly not creator friendly, and people should know that at this point. Thans for your enthusiastic reaction. I'm requesting the video "Hounds of Iron" It's another champion cinematic about the Darkin Naafiri. It's got some very cool visuals referencing a war between shurimans and the void, and just has a really cool vibe.
The amount of skins Evelyn sold with KDA after "More" is crazy! Don't forget that in the Villain video is not just Madison Beer singing but also Kim Petras they both have amazing voices and they are very similar, so people sometimes think is just one person singing
@@thisbabyslays Oh, i didn't know that i used to listen to Kim years ago, but because don't live in the USA and my music tastes have changed a lot i'm not that aware of the scandals that take place on the industry there anymore...but, it just doesn't take away the fact that they are both great singers. I was just talking about their voices and music not her work ethics.
Considering eve is basically a shadow demon/succubus, and her primary in-game mechanic is stealth and never really knowing exactly where she is until she's killing you, the mv(villain)is absolutely perfect for her character and overall theme.
@@makichu4357 No it is not her killing they have a mind of their own so she does not control them. The ribbons do the killing or they kill the host. So learn more about them before spreading false information like that.
Baddest is such a banger! That song deserved a concept video too! Much more than the Ahri's video. Drum go dum is also a good song. Those two also need to be on the reaction list.
K/DA introduced me to (G)I-dle, which was the first time I ever got into kpop! If you're interested you should check them out. Riot found them even before their debut. Riot also likes to use Soyeon (the leader and main rapper of (G)I-dle) for Akali every chance they get lol! Also to note, they have their own lore in this skinline. They are in a musicverse alternate reality which is a universe shared with other music-focused skinlines like Heartsteel, Pentakill, etc. The live performance for this and GIANTS is really good too! Hope you check them out as well :D
I swear to God, this was the horniest K/DA reaction I've seen. Did not expect that lmao but I'm kinda here for it. Their thighs do be crazy. Relatedly, I think topping people is kinda what Evelyn does. Not surprised she's on top.
a lot of people are mentioning G-Idle but I wanna mention the members of Twice too; in "I'll Show You" four members of Twice lent their vocals for the champions: Nayeon, Jihyo, Sana, and Chaeyoung
If you read Evelynn's lore, you will understand why they don't show her face in VILLAIN'S song. There are videos about champions lore on youtube, you will enjoy reacting too.
Bumping this, there is two more songs that were missed! But the original live show should be watched too! Some people liked the second live show, but I didn't like that one as much, but the whole album needs to be listened to!
@@HPDunbar they didn't miss them, they said those were left out due to being considered lyrics videos and therefore less interesting, but would still check the songs off camera
For Villain, the reason why they kept Evelynn in the shadows is because she is a demon that works in the shadows (like batman!). She lurks in the dark alleys near bars and other such areas and lures in victims with ideas. But she isn't a "succubus" in the more traditional sense w the 'eating the soul with love' but instead is an actual torture demon. She is the concept of BDSM come to life in order to take yours. She is the demon of agony, you will get no pleasure from her. The other demons are Fiddlesticks (you already met), Tahm Kench the demon of Addiction (gluttony and greed included), Nocturne the demon of nightmares, and Shaco. We have exactly 0 lore on Shaco, don't ask about him. In fact, we have -1 lore on Shaco. We don't even know what he is the demon of.
Although we have no lore, I have to say the idea behind Shaco originally, was 'Chaos'. So he might be the demon of Shaco, of course, that's just a guess. (His name is literally Chaos rearranged aka an Anagram)
21:29 So propably most important thing in making skin look alive in 3d animation is simulating a thing called subsurface scattering. It is the way the light penetrates the skin to some extent (try covering a flashlight with your finger, it will glow red because the light goes through the skin). Subsurface scattering removes the plastic look you would get otherwise.
In villiain video we see evelynn in shadows because in game she is invisible to the enemies until she attacks them, so is cool how the mv has that creepy vibes lol, great video can't wait to see more reactions ❤
The debut of K/DA was an augmented reality performance at LoL Worlds in 2018. Where they had the animated members on stage with the singers who voiced them... Also, on side note, YG just announced a 2NE1 comeback and world tour for their 15th anniversary.
POP/STARS is basically what got me into Kpop, especially Soyeon's rap, it blew my mind ! You should react to the opening ceremonies, the 2019 one is the craziest to watch but the one with POP/STARS is kinda good too !
If you would like to dive back in K-pop I would suggest checking out Dreamcatcher they are more rock based or (G)I-dle two of their members were singers for K/DA, Soyeon (Akali) and Miyeon (Ahri)
I love in pop stars where akali is rapping evelynn is in the back and in the light theres claw marks everywhere from her claws and in the dark she is in her stealth shade mode with no markings
KDA all out Evelynn was the first skin i got for her as a skin shard and it just went from there lol. she's still one of my top mained junglers and i love her kda all out skin bc of the instrumental that plays when shes in stealth. it makes the other skins kinda boring when youre in stealth and theres no music lol.
2NE1 mentioned, insta sub! 💖 2NE1 got me into K-Pop like 15 years ago, never heard anything like it. My faves from that era were 4Minute, 2NE1 and After School. Good ole times...
I really adore Kai'sa but honestly, I think that's mostly because Kai'sa is like, the perfect underdog in League of Legends in almost all contexts lol. As you know, the game as hover 160+ playable characters. Kai'sa came out around the time when a new character wasn't very exciting anymore. And as a Marksmen, her playstyle wasn't breaking much ground. But you could tell Riot really wanted to hyped Kai'sa. Her release was tied to an event that ended up promoting Miss Fortune more unintentionally, so half the reason why Riot made K/DA was to further promote Kai'sa. That's why in Popstars she's generally in the center of most shots. Especially at the end when she's dashing in between all the girl. *But even then it didn't work!* People left K/DA liking literally every single other character more, rofl! And for the people who knew League of Legends lore, this was just the hay that broke the camel's back. Cause, long story short, when Kai'sa released, her lore fell flat real fast and no one cared. Which is sadly Kai'sa to a T at the end of the day, the character that came out that no one every really cared about. No one really liked her but no one really disliked her. Poor Kai'sa was just, there. x'D
Kai'sa is not an underdog. "Kai'sa came out around the time when a new character wasn't very exciting anymore." Not entirely true, Kai'sa came out when everyone was tired of champions with the same facial features. After this, Riots began releasing more unique female champions and more diversified ones. Now all male characters suffer from this. Kai'sa itself is in the top in terms of the number of skins produced for her, in two seasonal cinematics, part of the KDA and now the most popular Marksman in terms of pick rate.
Also stating kaisa is in the center just to bring attention to her 'cause she's a flop I also hardly disagree 'cause kaisa is ALL about movement, she is all about that flexibility not only in terms of her physiology with the second skin but even in game with the builds, and with that background she was made the choreographer/main dancer of the group and if you know any kpop group like really any of them the main dancer is the one with most time in the center (along with the visuals member) so she can ease the others members from potential dance errors. riot team did a really well job choosing the members for kda and how they completes each other gaps in terms of a kpop group edit: Her play style is so much of a ground breaker that after release in few years she became within top 3 most adc pick on competitive games against champions that are in the game since the beginning exactly because she is really self sufficient. Right now she is the most picked champion in the entire game even agains champions from other roles with a 4% difference from the second in a graphic that shows in average less than 1% difference in pick rate between the others. Here is an article that dives deep in: mobalytics.gg/blog/lol-5-most-picked-adcs-in-proplay/ And a champions pick rate: www.op.gg/statistics/champions?hl=en_US
I honestly think she's is the less to stand out in K/DA bc the singer is good but just ok compared to the other 3, or that's what I thought when I first saw it. But nowadays Kai'Sa is very popular, in 2022 she was like the poster girl from league
Kai'sa already has her solo, And Serephine was never a member from the beginning she was just a guest, Collab for "More" Giving her solo would make no sense
In the group, Ahri is the cute one, Akali is the "girl crush" vibes rapper, Kai'Sa is the sexy one, but Evelyn is the sexier one and the main character (jk but she does give that vibes). Players even believe Riot Games poured all their budget on Evelynn for their K/DA promotions.
In K/DA lore, Evelyn is the founder/leader of the group. K/DA even had some instagram stories of them. not to mention the sheer amount of marketing through Seraphim was crazy but also received a lot of backlash because of her trying to relate to people via metal health problems.
@@Spectacular0_4 i remember reading on their insta (or at least i thought i read) that it was Evelyn. i haven't read the lore since when they first started as a group. so i could be misremembering
The famous joke for K/DA's More era is that Kaisa and Akali Concept became lyric and dance performance is because RITO put all the budget for Evelynn Concept hahahahaha.
20:53 Kinda nailed it. She's an ancient demon who found out that sex kills. Well, when she does it. As an Evelynn main since 2017, I endorse this video.
I didn't expect KDA today, wow! This made my day, thanks! :) Kinda sad because of the other 2 songs didn't make it :( (Also you don't need to do muffle, because Riot don't copyright their songs for reactors.)
We actually got flagged by YT for copyright so that’s why we had to muffle Pop/stars. Riot must’ve changed their copyright on some of their songs. It’s an ever-changing landscape when it comes to copyright 😭
Glad youre here to watch their reactions!!! We were all excited for them to get to K/DA. Know that Riot copyright has changed as of a couple months ago. This sentiment has been reflected in all of their League reactions so far. We would've done without the muffling effect if we could (trust me it's more work on the editing side to locate and properly get it to pass), but this will have to continue in their reactions during parts that get claimed so their videos don't get blocked.
Miyeon and Soeyon really ate pop/star And then if ur a neverland u know that (G)i-dle performs pop/star in their concerts (soyeon is the one rapping btw)and miyeon is the one playing "Ari")
the person rapping for Akali, who you said sounds like 2NE1 (you're prolly referring to CL), is Soyeon from (G)I-DLE. Soyeon is the Main Producer, Leader, and Rapper of the group. the person singing for Ari's part is also from (G)I-DLE, she is the group's Main Vocalist, her name is Miyeon. I think you'll really like (G)-IDLE as a girl group if you guys wanna get back into KPOP again. 😊
'I'll Show You' does not involve any of the members of (G)I-DLE like KDA did (I-DLE is under Cube Entertainment). It has some members of a different K-Pop group called Twice and they are from an entirely different company, JYP.
K-Pop has evolved a LOT ever since 2NE1 was originally big. BUT you also need to know that 2NE1 has recently come back to music! It's an awesome turn of events!
I love Pop Stars, like, instantly iconic and put Studio Fortiche on the map, but 'More' gets slept on a little bit. Incredible details and animation, the style is a bit more standard Pixar-ish vibe, but all the champs' personalities really shine in it.
Ahri Lore: Ahri started a solo career (Pop Star Ahri) but she didn't do as well as she wanted, so she (Ahri: Miyeon) got a second chance and made it into the group K/DA with Akali(Soyeon) Kai'sa (Jaira Burn) and Evenlyn (Madison Beer).
The funny think is even though there are Korean lyrics, the music was composed by a French composer working for RIOT :D And of course, POP/STARS is animated and directed by Fortiche :p
This is my first time coming across this channel but if you're ever interested half of KDA (Ahri and Akali) are in a kpop group called (G)I-dle. I had always liked riot songs casually and almost a year ago got into kpop and it took me a while to realize why the voices I was hearing sounded so familiar to me lol
The reason why in the video Villain, Evelynn isn't shown fully, is because in game, after a certain time, she becomes permanently invisible to the players until she uses her abilities, in which case you are most likely dead by the time you see her.
As a league player and if I'm forced to play jungle I main Eve. She's amazing. Literally a succubus. Her voice lines are amazing and so bad bish vibes. Voice Line: "A man once told me to put on some clothes... so I wore his skin." Eve evil giggles. I also love they use her lvl 6 passive in a way and pair it with Akali. Both of them can go invisible: Akali - Smoke Bomb Eve - Passive (She becomes invisible to other players until she attacks or is hit by an enemy, she goes into a king of spooky silhouette mode and the sound and screen vision also enhances the experience of her ability.) I have the first video KDA mini figurines by Riot. They also have a deal with secret labs and have a chair KDA theme.
I know they're not really into kpop, but soyeon from gidle is amazing and helped with the writing. she was the blonde in the live show, only true demage. I highly recommend watching gidle. amazing songs and talks about really good things
The main reason why the didn't show Evelynn face in the Villain MV is because of her lore in the game. She is a demon in the lore and feeds off of other people's agony , most of the time Evelynn will disguise her self or shapeshift into something/someone else to seduce them or draw them in , then torture's them to get the most out of them before they die. At the very last moment she will show herself but even then, it is already to late for them to escape. In-game it is pretty much the same, she is invisible through out most of the game, then show up for like 3 seconds before you die and she disappears again.
Funny you mention that it seems like Evelyn is staring into your soul. Some analysis videos I watched pointed out that in almost every scene from the group videos, she's staring directly at the camera, even when the choreography calls for her to look away. She's always looking right at the audience, which fits well with her predatory personality.
There was a perfect comment on one of the KD/A video that’s said that Riot Games is posing as a game company while making songs/music that’s better than most mainstream music studios
I am a HUUUUUGE K/DA lover. Gotta say, knowing the history of Ahri's skins help appreciate POP/STARS and I'll Show You deeper. Just understanding that she has PopStar Ahri as a skin plays into her rise to stardom in K/DA. I'll Show You is real impactful when you imagine her as a real girl struggling with the entertainment industry.
When Dee watches the other cinematics with Kai'Sa, I'm pretty sure she's gonna change her fav back to Kai'Sa again 😅 Miss Fortune might end up on your bias list, as well as Riven. Maybe Irelia and/or Camille.
MORE was kinda a meta joke. For literally years fans were screaming at Riot for "More KDA" "MORE" "MOAR". And so when they released this album, the title song was MORE. I get a kick out of this joke.
LoL Evelynn is a succubus that kills her victims slowly as if a moment of pleasure for herself but on K/DA universe Evelynn is a rich girl with many connections and rumors going around about how and why all her ex boyfriends disappear 😂😂 she's def a wild character and my absolute fave
In the Evelyn video they don't show her face Which plays well with the fact that in game she's constantly invisible to enemies and you don't see her until she is extremely close to you In which by then she's already Prepare to go for the kill
Villain is also my favorite from all the KDA songs and then there's True Damage, which is when Akali wanted to have a "rap" group of her own and she got together with Senna, Yasuo, Ekko and Quiyana. The song is Giants and is pretty good too but Villain is still top tier.
Thanks for the explanation ladies! I'm a complete noob to LoL (outside of the Arcane anime which I love!) but I'm a 3d artist and have seen KDA character models available from various stores (which I've just got!) I'm pretty sure it's these 3D models that are used in the music videos. The whole concept of creating an augmented reality K-Pop group from champions from the game is amazing to me and having real life K-Pop stars provide the voices is genius!
Kai'Sa is supposed to be the dancer of the group. She doesn't sing much (you can still hear her voice in there), but she's always highlighted during the dance shots !
the dance group 1 million was paid to do videos of more and i'll show you. more they even have the voices of akali and ahri (miyeon and soyeon) in the video. they are a must watch too.
I am an evelynn main, i loved her without the skins. but with skins im obsessed. shes so good :> im just really happy they picked her to be part of kda :D
Ahri = Miyeon, Akali = Soyeon of (G)I-dle, if you want to try some Kpop. They even perform Pop Stars live in their concerts. Latata, Lion, Oh My God, Uh Oh, Senorita, Hwaa, Hann, Tomboy, Allergy, Queencard, really there are too many to list and their songs can be so different from each other.
Ahris part is sung by Miyeon and Akalis part by Soyeon, both from the K-POP group G-IDLE, so this is produced with propper K-POP idols Anyways if you're going to continue to check out more of Riots music productions I Highly recommend checking out Mortal Reminder by Pentakill
Wanna add a bit info about Seraphine - she is a singer from Piltover, and she also performs in Zaun. So it a possible Arcane character. Also, as far as i know, Evelynn is not a PRIMAL demon. Just regular. Only Primal is Fiddlesticks. There is few other knows demons, but none of them is Primal.
‘We are not better than men’ lmao 😭😭 thank you so much for reacting to KDA 🥹 I miss them so much. You need to react to the rest of their EP as someone who loves Kaisa I know you’d love ‘Drum go dum’. Kaisa and Akali doesn’t have concept videos but they have short videos of their own songs please look it up 🙌🏼. Don’t sleep on Jaira she sings as Kaisa, her voice is so beautiful✨she sings the chorus of Pop stars, her stage presence was amazing in their performance and made me fan of her (side note Goddess is my favorite song from Jaira✨🥹) I agree she doesn’t have much presence in the group since she’s the dancer but her high notes and raps are my favorite part of their songs 😍 One thing to note is that Seraphine is not part of KDA she’s just a collab but still her character in the comics is so cute and sweet. (I recommend you to read their KDA comics 🤩)
20:50 Indeed Evelynn is sort of succubus. In normal lore she's a premordial demon who shaped it's conciousnes during the Rune Wars, where most of living thing were in pain. Evelynn used that pain but after the war ends, she or actually IT has to used new way to find it's pray. It/she shapes itself into the most attractive form for it's pray, then she seduces it and while doing the THING then tortures it. Personaly for me 20:40 in music is the danger zone, like you can hear the alarm sound. - so you know she's about to kill.
FYI: We understand previously Riot was more flexible with their copyright and reactions to their videos. However, in recent months this has since been changed (the copyright landscape can always change as it depends on the Copyright holder and whether they want to claim it).

Probably the single biggest breakthrough in realism that I can think of when it comes to making a human.
Yeah, it's the secret behind realistic skins in even non realistic games and animations
The Akali in Giants is the same artist that is Akali in KDA and it's funny you mentioned Big Bang. She gets called the female G Dragon.
There's actually a lore behind "I'll show you" there's a buch of comic for K/DA skinline

Evelyn's mv is based off how she works in game/lore. She's a stealth character, you aren't really supposed to see her until it's too late.
POP/STARS is basically what got me into Kpop, especially Soyeon's rap, it blew my mind !
You should react to the opening ceremonies, the 2019 one is the craziest to watch but the one with POP/STARS is kinda good too !
Evelyn's thigh is a religion on it's own
If you would like to dive back in K-pop I would suggest checking out Dreamcatcher they are more rock based or (G)I-dle two of their members were singers for K/DA, Soyeon (Akali) and Miyeon (Ahri)
Girls, I love the song "Everything Goes On" from the "Stat Guardian 2022" theme. It's one of my favorite League of Legends songs
Everything goes on is so good.
Besides K/DA universe that one is the absolute best from LoL universe unless you're into metal and like pentakill (wich I do too hehe)
I love in pop stars where akali is rapping evelynn is in the back and in the light theres claw marks everywhere from her claws and in the dark she is in her stealth shade mode with no markings
Not sure if you guys know but Fortiche did Pop/Stars in the downtime they had inbetween making Episode 1 and the rest of Season 1 of Arcane.
KDA all out Evelynn was the first skin i got for her as a skin shard and it just went from there lol. she's still one of my top mained junglers and i love her kda all out skin bc of the instrumental that plays when shes in stealth. it makes the other skins kinda boring when youre in stealth and theres no music lol.

*But even then it didn't work!* People left K/DA liking literally every single other character more, rofl! And for the people who knew League of Legends lore, this was just the hay that broke the camel's back. Cause, long story short, when Kai'sa released, her lore fell flat real fast and no one cared. Which is sadly Kai'sa to a T at the end of the day, the character that came out that no one every really cared about.
No one really liked her but no one really disliked her. Poor Kai'sa was just, there. x'D
Kai'sa is not an underdog. "Kai'sa came out around the time when a new character wasn't very exciting anymore." Not entirely true, Kai'sa came out when everyone was tired of champions with the same facial features. After this, Riots began releasing more unique female champions and more diversified ones. Now all male characters suffer from this. Kai'sa itself is in the top in terms of the number of skins produced for her, in two seasonal cinematics, part of the KDA and now the most popular Marksman in terms of pick rate.
Also stating kaisa is in the center just to bring attention to her 'cause she's a flop I also hardly disagree 'cause kaisa is ALL about movement, she is all about that flexibility not only in terms of her physiology with the second skin but even in game with the builds, and with that background she was made the choreographer/main dancer of the group and if you know any kpop group like really any of them the main dancer is the one with most time in the center (along with the visuals member) so she can ease the others members from potential dance errors. riot team did a really well job choosing the members for kda and how they completes each other gaps in terms of a kpop group
edit: Her play style is so much of a ground breaker that after release in few years she became within top 3 most adc pick on competitive games against champions that are in the game since the beginning exactly because she is really self sufficient.
Right now she is the most picked champion in the entire game even agains champions from other roles with a 4% difference from the second in a graphic that shows in average less than 1% difference in pick rate between the others.
Here is an article that dives deep in: mobalytics.gg/blog/lol-5-most-picked-adcs-in-proplay/
And a champions pick rate: www.op.gg/statistics/champions?hl=en_US
I honestly think she's is the less to stand out in K/DA bc the singer is good but just ok compared to the other 3, or that's what I thought when I first saw it. But nowadays Kai'Sa is very popular, in 2022 she was like the poster girl from league
Kai'sa and Akali deserved a solo M/V too. Even Seraphine. Riot should focus on releasing more of these bangers because they're great at it.
Kai'sa already has her solo, And Serephine was never a member from the beginning she was just a guest, Collab for "More" Giving her solo would make no sense
The moment we’ve all been waiting for!!! 🎉🙌
🥰🥰🥰
In the group, Ahri is the cute one, Akali is the "girl crush" vibes rapper, Kai'Sa is the sexy one, but Evelyn is the sexier one and the main character (jk but she does give that vibes). Players even believe Riot Games poured all their budget on Evelynn for their K/DA promotions.
2018 opening ceremony would be a great react!
In K/DA lore, Evelyn is the founder/leader of the group. K/DA even had some instagram stories of them. not to mention the sheer amount of marketing through Seraphim was crazy but also received a lot of backlash because of her trying to relate to people via metal health problems.
Ahri is the leader but they both created kda together so you're half right
@@Spectacular0_4 i remember reading on their insta (or at least i thought i read) that it was Evelyn. i haven't read the lore since when they first started as a group. so i could be misremembering
"This is like Black Pink vibes."
"sounds like 2NE1"
It's literally (G)Idle and Twice.
Do you plan on watching K/DA's The Baddest and Drum Go Dum? They're Akali's and Kaisa's respective songs.
Kai'sa feature song is definitely worth a check out
Yes!!! 😭 I hope they react to their shorts of their song where you can see them
I literally just finished watching your last video and was disappointed because no K/DA. Then I check and saw this just got posted. Poggers.
The famous joke for K/DA's More era is that Kaisa and Akali Concept became lyric and dance performance is because RITO put all the budget for Evelynn Concept hahahahaha.
20:53 Kinda nailed it. She's an ancient demon who found out that sex kills. Well, when she does it. As an Evelynn main since 2017, I endorse this video.
I didn't expect KDA today, wow! This made my day, thanks! :) Kinda sad because of the other 2 songs didn't make it :( (Also you don't need to do muffle, because Riot don't copyright their songs for reactors.)
We actually got flagged by YT for copyright so that’s why we had to muffle Pop/stars. Riot must’ve changed their copyright on some of their songs. It’s an ever-changing landscape when it comes to copyright 😭
Glad youre here to watch their reactions!!! We were all excited for them to get to K/DA.
Know that Riot copyright has changed as of a couple months ago. This sentiment has been reflected in all of their League reactions so far. We would've done without the muffling effect if we could (trust me it's more work on the editing side to locate and properly get it to pass), but this will have to continue in their reactions during parts that get claimed so their videos don't get blocked.
@@hungryrabbiddawg They probably did it with the videos that they use more for marketing in general :/
@@hungryrabbiddawg Are you here as their producer? :) Cant wait for the next reaction and whats to come :)
@@elinapettersson1875 Welcome in, fam!
Wait wait wait, where's Kai'Sa's?? Justice for DRUM GO DUM!
i love how the two girls from (G)I-dle "Miyeon and Soyeon" are singing Ahri and Akali while "Madison Beer sings Evilyn" and "Jaira Burns sings Kai´Sa"
The chorus villain is just evelyn saying how badass she is.
"I'm a straight up villain"
I'm a straight Evelyne
Miyeon and Soeyon really ate pop/star
And then if ur a neverland u know that (G)i-dle performs pop/star in their concerts (soyeon is the one rapping btw)and miyeon is the one playing "Ari")
the person rapping for Akali, who you said sounds like 2NE1 (you're prolly referring to CL), is Soyeon from (G)I-DLE. Soyeon is the Main Producer, Leader, and Rapper of the group. the person singing for Ari's part is also from (G)I-DLE, she is the group's Main Vocalist, her name is Miyeon.
I think you'll really like (G)-IDLE as a girl group if you guys wanna get back into KPOP again. 😊
'I'll Show You' does not involve any of the members of (G)I-DLE like KDA did (I-DLE is under Cube Entertainment). It has some members of a different K-Pop group called Twice and they are from an entirely different company, JYP.
Behind the clips is the french studio FORTICHE production, thay also made the series ARCANE. They just goated!!!
"Villain" is just the animator showing off their texture. And I am so Here for it!
K-Pop has evolved a LOT ever since 2NE1 was originally big.
BUT you also need to know that 2NE1 has recently come back to music! It's an awesome turn of events!
I love Pop Stars, like, instantly iconic and put Studio Fortiche on the map, but 'More' gets slept on a little bit. Incredible details and animation, the style is a bit more standard Pixar-ish vibe, but all the champs' personalities really shine in it.
in the third song, 4 members of the kpop group
"Twice" sing. (Nayeon, Sana, Jihyo and Chaeyoung)
Ahri Lore: Ahri started a solo career (Pop Star Ahri) but she didn't do as well as she wanted, so she (Ahri: Miyeon) got a second chance and made it into the group K/DA with Akali(Soyeon) Kai'sa (Jaira Burn) and Evenlyn (Madison Beer).
The funny think is even though there are Korean lyrics, the music was composed by a French composer working for RIOT :D And of course, POP/STARS is animated and directed by Fortiche :p
Pop Stars was performed on the grand stage during Worlds 2018 finals. You can check it up too.
Villain is both a music video and a concept art video of what the artist can do, which is awesome 👏🏼 Great reactions :3
This is my first time coming across this channel but if you're ever interested half of KDA (Ahri and Akali) are in a kpop group called (G)I-dle. I had always liked riot songs casually and almost a year ago got into kpop and it took me a while to realize why the voices I was hearing sounded so familiar to me lol
The reason why in the video Villain, Evelynn isn't shown fully, is because in game, after a certain time, she becomes permanently invisible to the players until she uses her abilities, in which case you are most likely dead by the time you see her.
"I feel like Evelyn is going to take my soul!!"
Yeah she probably would!
"The one with the thighs"😂😂❤❤ yup thats Evelynn
As a league player and if I'm forced to play jungle I main Eve. She's amazing. Literally a succubus. Her voice lines are amazing and so bad bish vibes.
Voice Line:
"A man once told me to put on some clothes... so I wore his skin." Eve evil giggles.
I also love they use her lvl 6 passive in a way and pair it with Akali. Both of them can go invisible:
Akali - Smoke Bomb
Eve - Passive (She becomes invisible to other players until she attacks or is hit by an enemy, she goes into a king of spooky silhouette mode and the sound and screen vision also enhances the experience of her ability.)
I have the first video KDA mini figurines by Riot. They also have a deal with secret labs and have a chair KDA theme.
I know they're not really into kpop, but soyeon from gidle is amazing and helped with the writing. she was the blonde in the live show, only true demage. I highly recommend watching gidle. amazing songs and talks about really good things
The main reason why the didn't show Evelynn face in the Villain MV is because of her lore in the game.
She is a demon in the lore and feeds off of other people's agony , most of the time Evelynn will disguise her self or shapeshift into something/someone else to seduce them or draw them in , then torture's them to get the most out of them before they die.
At the very last moment she will show herself but even then, it is already to late for them to escape.
In-game it is pretty much the same, she is invisible through out most of the game, then show up for like 3 seconds before you die and she disappears again.
I learned about Big Bang and 2NE1 at the same time when I discovered their "Lollipop" video when it was used to promote a cellphone by LG.
8:30, look at that, you also got the charming skill from Mama Evelyn, the victim increases 😅😅😅
In the last riot one event in japan, riot had some hololive girls do a cover of pop/stars and the baddest. all versions of kda songs are fire
Funny you mention that it seems like Evelyn is staring into your soul.
Some analysis videos I watched pointed out that in almost every scene from the group videos, she's staring directly at the camera, even when the choreography calls for her to look away. She's always looking right at the audience, which fits well with her predatory personality.
9:24 The concept of K/DA is that it is a K-pop group, but they suddenly added Chinese lyrics and were shunned in Korea.
You guys would love the live performance of both kda and true damage
Jeon Soyeon is akali and Cho Miyeon is ahri they are both in korean girl group called (G) i-dle
A lot of K/DA Akali mask were sold during the pandemic lol, A bunch of people selling on ETSY and Amazon.
There was a perfect comment on one of the KD/A video that’s said that Riot Games is posing as a game company while making songs/music that’s better than most mainstream music studios
I am a HUUUUUGE K/DA lover. Gotta say, knowing the history of Ahri's skins help appreciate POP/STARS and I'll Show You deeper. Just understanding that she has PopStar Ahri as a skin plays into her rise to stardom in K/DA. I'll Show You is real impactful when you imagine her as a real girl struggling with the entertainment industry.
When Dee watches the other cinematics with Kai'Sa, I'm pretty sure she's gonna change her fav back to Kai'Sa again 😅
Miss Fortune might end up on your bias list, as well as Riven. Maybe Irelia and/or Camille.
Ahri and Akali’s singers are from GIDLE an amazing KPop group. ❤
KDA and True Damage(live performance) got me and I imagine many people into KPop.
MORE was kinda a meta joke.
For literally years fans were screaming at Riot for "More KDA" "MORE" "MOAR".
And so when they released this album, the title song was MORE.
I get a kick out of this joke.
LoL Evelynn is a succubus that kills her victims slowly as if a moment of pleasure for herself but on K/DA universe Evelynn is a rich girl with many connections and rumors going around about how and why all her ex boyfriends disappear 😂😂 she's def a wild character and my absolute fave
Something you shuld know, ahri and akaly are miyoen and soyeon, both from kpop group G Idle, maybe you like their music :D
In the Evelyn video they don't show her face Which plays well with the fact that in game she's constantly invisible to enemies and you don't see her until she is extremely close to you In which by then she's already Prepare to go for the kill
Villain is also my favorite from all the KDA songs and then there's True Damage, which is when Akali wanted to have a "rap" group of her own and she got together with Senna, Yasuo, Ekko and Quiyana. The song is Giants and is pretty good too but Villain is still top tier.
Thanks for the explanation ladies! I'm a complete noob to LoL (outside of the Arcane anime which I love!) but I'm a 3d artist and have seen KDA character models available from various stores (which I've just got!) I'm pretty sure it's these 3D models that are used in the music videos.
The whole concept of creating an augmented reality K-Pop group from champions from the game is amazing to me and having real life K-Pop stars provide the voices is genius!
Evelynn and her song are my favorite, I love her 💙
Ducati actually made a real version of that motorcycle Akali rode in More. It sold out in like 2 days.
Kai'Sa is supposed to be the dancer of the group. She doesn't sing much (you can still hear her voice in there), but she's always highlighted during the dance shots !
the dance group 1 million was paid to do videos of more and i'll show you. more they even have the voices of akali and ahri (miyeon and soyeon) in the video. they are a must watch too.
I am an evelynn main, i loved her without the skins. but with skins im obsessed. shes so good :> im just really happy they picked her to be part of kda :D
Yeah, we all try to deny it, but Villain is the best mv out of all of KDA. It's technically impressive, creative, and incredibly on theme
akali is soyeon of gidle and she’s also called CL from 2ne1 daughter so! n miyeon who is ahri is also part of gidle
Evelyn inspired my Descendants Vk Wardrobe! I've actually made a Pinterest board with different outfits from Descendants.
Ahri = Miyeon, Akali = Soyeon of (G)I-dle, if you want to try some Kpop. They even perform Pop Stars live in their concerts.
Latata, Lion, Oh My God, Uh Oh, Senorita, Hwaa, Hann, Tomboy, Allergy, Queencard, really there are too many to list and their songs can be so different from each other.
Ahris part is sung by Miyeon and Akalis part by Soyeon, both from the K-POP group G-IDLE, so this is produced with propper K-POP idols
Anyways if you're going to continue to check out more of Riots music productions I Highly recommend checking out Mortal Reminder by Pentakill
okay but soyeon as akali is SOMETHING ELSE
The " we are no better than man " killed me 😂😂
Also villain really captures who Evelyn is ❤
😂😂🫶🏼
Wanna add a bit info about Seraphine - she is a singer from Piltover, and she also performs in Zaun. So it a possible Arcane character. Also, as far as i know, Evelynn is not a PRIMAL demon. Just regular. Only Primal is Fiddlesticks. There is few other knows demons, but none of them is Primal.
K/DA led me to Soyeon, and Soyeon led me to I-DLE. And I never looked back. =)
The Baddest (Akali)
Drum Go Dum (Kai'Sa)
I'll Show You (Ahri)
Villain (Evelynn)
‘We are not better than men’ lmao 😭😭 thank you so much for reacting to KDA 🥹 I miss them so much. You need to react to the rest of their EP as someone who loves Kaisa I know you’d love ‘Drum go dum’. Kaisa and Akali doesn’t have concept videos but they have short videos of their own songs please look it up 🙌🏼. Don’t sleep on Jaira she sings as Kaisa, her voice is so beautiful✨she sings the chorus of Pop stars, her stage presence was amazing in their performance and made me fan of her (side note Goddess is my favorite song from Jaira✨🥹) I agree she doesn’t have much presence in the group since she’s the dancer but her high notes and raps are my favorite part of their songs 😍
One thing to note is that Seraphine is not part of KDA she’s just a collab but still her character in the comics is so cute and sweet. (I recommend you to read their KDA comics 🤩)
20:50 Indeed Evelynn is sort of succubus. In normal lore she's a premordial demon who shaped it's conciousnes during the Rune Wars, where most of living thing were in pain.
Evelynn used that pain but after the war ends, she or actually IT has to used new way to find it's pray.
It/she shapes itself into the most attractive form for it's pray, then she seduces it and while doing the THING then tortures it.
Personaly for me 20:40 in music is the danger zone, like you can hear the alarm sound. - so you know she's about to kill.
