The group initially featured Madison Beer, Jaira Burns, SOYEON and MIYEON but seem to be making changes going forward, opening up the possibilities for multiple artists to collaborate on K/DA to “embrace a more global pop sound.”
“Artists featured in THE BADDEST and the rest of the songs on the upcoming EP will be collaborators,” Riot shared, “allowing K/DA to welcome a much larger roster of amazingly talented musicians to join them in their comeback.”
Toa Dunn, Head of Riot Games Music revealed that there was a massive demand for a new K/DA track following the group’s debut and that the EP later in the year would be packed with “tons of surprises for League of Legends and K/DA fans.”
