K/DA

K/DA is a virtual pop group created by Riot Games for their video game League of Legends. The four characters, Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'Sa, are based on champions from the game. They debuted in 2018 with 'POP/STARS,' which featured Madison Beer and members of (G)I-DLE.

Their music is performed by various guest vocalists rather than a fixed lineup. Songs like 'THE BADDEST' and 'MORE' have continued this pattern, bringing in artists such as Bea Miller, Lexie Liu, and TWICE for different tracks. The group exists primarily through animated music videos and performances within the game's universe.

In 2020, some listeners raised questions about representation when non-Korean artists like Madison Beer and Kim Petras were featured on 'VILLAIN.' Riot Games acknowledged these discussions about diversity in K-pop-inspired projects. The group's releases have been sporadic, tied to game events rather than a traditional album cycle.
