KiiiKiii Expands Into Esports With 2026 LCK Finals Performance

K-pop group KiiiKiii will perform at the opening ceremony of the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) Finals.

Riot Games, which organizes the LCK, said on Aug. 26 that KiiiKiii (Jiyou, Leesol, Sui, Haum and Kya) will take the stage at KSPO Dome in Seoul's Songpa district on Sept. 13.

KiiiKiii contributed vocals to two official LCK season songs this year. After releasing "Leave Your Mark pt.2," the group followed up with "Pain in the Dark" on Aug. 25.

"Leave Your Mark pt.2" delivers a message of support for players and fans as the season approaches its conclusion. Guitar-driven production and a rising melody are paired with the members' high notes and nuanced vocal delivery.

Created specifically for the finals' opening ceremony, "Pain in the Dark" draws inspiration from a new League of Legends champion introduced this year. Through powerful vocals and driving energy, the track conveys the determination to overcome pain and hardship.

KiiiKiii released its third mini album, "WhyKiiiKiii," on Aug. 10 and is currently promoting the title track "Pop Off Pop Off." The finals appearance extends the group's activities beyond music promotions and into the esports arena.
