The Prestige skins are only available by completing special missions in-game. Akali later also received a Prestige skin that features black and gold details instead of the usual blue and hot pink. "Prestige" K/DA skins also exist in the game, including a Prestige Kai'Sa skin which replaces her dark purple features for a bright white and yellow. Skins in the game are for cosmetic purposes only, and cost around ten dollars to purchase. K/DA of Ahri, Akali, Evelynn and Kai'Sa, depicting the characters as how they appear in the band, are available for purchase in League of Legends. They eventually decided against a cuter, more-idol group based theme in favour of something "modern and edgy" that combines a "bit of street style with a handcrafted feel." The team was initially uncertain of the type of music that would be most suitable for the group, due to amount of variety within the pop music genre. Similar to this, the CGI of the video juxtaposes a cartoon-like, illustrative look of the K/DA characters against a more realistic background. An example of this was the scene featuring Akali in the video, which would be a context that would not make sense in the fantasy world of League, but is appropriate for the setting of the music video. Ultimately, Najand said that "we wanted to make it a blend of western pop and K-Pop", as opposed to a situation "where it’s mostly Korean with some English sprinkled in." Patrick Morales, the creative lead behind the "Pop/Stars" music video, said that he wanted K/DA to exist "somewhere between fantasy and reality". According to Viranda Tantula, a creative lead at Riot, this was chosen because " believe it’s the balance of the human and virtual elements in the real world performance setting that makes for the most visceral experience for the audience member." The augmented reality versions of the characters could perform acts a human could not achieve, such as Ahri flying onto the stage, whilst a human singer has "a certain raw human element" that can't yet be captured by a virtual performer.Īccording to Sebastien Najand, who composed "POP/STARS", an all-English was trialled at first, followed by a version with significantly more Korean. During the ceremony, Beer, Burns, Miyeon and Soyeon performed "POP/STARS" on-stage, whilst augmented reality versions of the characters they voice sang and danced alongside them. It is a bilingual song with both K-pop and American pop influences, featuring vocals in English by Beer and Burns, and in both English and Korean by Soyeon and Miyeon. K/DA was unveiled in the 2018 League of Legends World Championship Opening Ceremony in Incheon on November 3, 2018, with the release of their debut single " POP/STARS". A music video of the song uploaded to YouTube subsequently went viral, surpassing 100 million views in one month, and reaching over 250 million views, as well as topping Billboards World Digital Song Sales chart. K/DA was developed by Riot Games, the company behind League of Legends, and unveiled at the 2018 League of Legends World Championship with an augmented reality live performance of their first and only song, "Pop/Stars". Evelynn and Kai'Sa are voiced by American singers Madison Beer and Jaira Burns respectively, while Ahri and Akali are voiced by (G)I-dle members Miyeon and Soyeon. K/DA is a virtual music girl group consisting of four themed versions of League of Legends characters Ahri, Akali, Evelynn and Kai'Sa.
