K-pop and esports just collided in the best way possible. SING and LEO, members of rising K-pop boy group XODIAC, have officially stepped into the gaming world. They team up with top-tier Taiwanese esports team Talon for a high-octane League of Legends (LoL) collaboration.
This exciting crossover is more than just a special appearance. It marks a bold move by K-pop idols into competitive gaming, blending fan power, idol charm, and in-game skills in one thrilling package.
When XODIAC SING and LEO Play League of Legends…
While fans already admire SING and LEO for their charisma, vocals, and dance, this time they’re showing off their skills on the Rift.
SING took on the mid lane, showing precise control with mage and assassin champions, known for their fast, flashy mechanics. Meanwhile, LEO joined as the bot lane ADC, holding his own with clever positioning and high damage plays.
Both idols reportedly hit Emerald rank on the Korean server (Hanbok)—an impressive feat even for seasoned players.
The collaboration was officially confirmed by Celia Sie, CEO of Jacso Entertainment, in a LinkedIn post. She praised the duo’s performance and the creative synergy between XODIAC and Talon.
For this project, the idols joined forces with esports legends Karsa, Betty, and Woody, bringing together two powerful fandoms in one unforgettable match.
K-pop x Esports: A Perfect Match for Gen Z
This collaboration hits all the right notes for Gen Z audiences. K-pop and esports already share a massive global fanbase, especially across Asia. And, this project taps into that overlap perfectly.
K-pop fans get to see their favorite idols in a whole new light—serious, strategic, and competitive. Meanwhile, esports fans are introduced to new personalities who bring fresh excitement and star power to the scene.
The end result? A win-win fusion of music, gaming, and entertainment that reflects where digital culture is headed.
