The 'LoL World Championship' is the most prestigious competition in e-sports and NewJeans was given the honor to become the first K-pop group to sing the theme song of the contest alone.

Worlds 2023 will also be held in South Korea, raising anticipation of what kind of promotion NewJeans will do for esports.

Initially in 2018, they also collaborated with K-pop idols including (G)I-DLE Soyeon and Miyeon through the virtual K-pop group K/DA, wherein they released the song, "POP/STARS."

Upon its release, it became a worldwide hit, which contributed more to the fame of the group.
