"K/DA IS BACK": Soyeon Shares Stage Look From New York Final

i-dle members Soyeon and Miyeon took the stage in New York as members of the virtual girl group K/DA.

The two performed at the opening ceremony of the 2026 League of Legends World Championship final at Barclays Center, early in the morning of the 15th KST.

Their set included "POP/STARS" and a performance of the recently released "FIRESTARTER," among other songs.

The same day, Soyeon posted several photos on Instagram with the caption "K/DA IS BACK." In K/DA, she took on the role of the character Akali. The photos show her posing in her stage outfit at the venue.

Soyeon wore a cropped top that looked like uneven pieces of silver metal joined together, paired with red see-through sleeves. She matched it with wide black cargo pants in shiny leather. Metal chains hung from the waist and down the sides of the pants. Black gloves covered her hands and ran from her wrists up her forearms.

Red goggle-style sunglasses that covered much of her eye area stood out. She also posed with a skateboard that had neon lime-green wheels and a red monster graphic. In some shots she rested a hand on it. In others she lifted it up behind her shoulders.

Miyeon, who plays Ahri, the leader of K/DA, also shared behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram. To match the character's look, she drew black markings on her face and wore cat ears, a very different style from her usual one.

The night put K/DA back in front of a live crowd at one of gaming's biggest events. For two i-dle members, it was also a chance to step out of their usual image and into characters that fans have followed from the screen to the stage.
