NewJeans had a unique and exciting encounter with the esports industry following T1’s recent victory in the 2023 League of Legends industry Semifinals. T1, representing the LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea), clinched their position in the finals after triumphing over JDG from the LPL (League of Legends Pro League in China) on November 12, 2023. This triumph set the stage for an anticipated performance by NewJeans, who are not only the singers of the 2023 Worlds song “GODS” but are also scheduled to perform at the finals on November 19 at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.

In a moment of joy at the end of Game 4, which clinched T1’s advancement with their third win in the series, Keria yelled, “Here I come, NewJeans!” This passionate declaration rapidly went viral, attracting the attention of both esports and K-pop communities.
