If you look at other reactions, it was K-POP reaction that only New Jeans knew or a streamer who only knew LOL. But you know both well and have a higher understanding, so you have more depth in reaction. Nice reaction!

Great reaction! I wanna give the backstory of the video so the song is easier to follow for Bunnies who are not familiar with League of Legends. This video follows Kim Hyuk-kyu (player ID: Deft) who won the League of Legends World Championship with DRX last year. The video starts with Deft and Faker attending high school together as both are up and coming megatalents at playing League. However, their careers go way more differently to each other. Whilst Faker has won 3 world championships, made 5 finals and is widely regarded as the greatest League of Legends (and overall, esports) player ever, Deft before last season was known as a talented loser. He hadnt made it past the quarter finals stage at Worlds for 8 years. He was extremely talented, just didnt have that ''it'' factor (or so people thought.) The video shows various defeats Deft experienced at the World Championship throughout the years. The most interesting one is the last. You can see another player sacrificing himself to save Deft, that's Keria. He was Deft's lane partner and teammate back in 2020. Back then, Keria was an up and coming talent, Deft called him the best support player in the world and Keria promised to win Deft a World Championsip. Unfortunately it never happened. They lost to Damwon KIA, one of the greatest LOL teams ever. Then both moved on to new teams. The interesting part about that DRX team is that they were so extremely talented. Keria, Deft, Chovy and Doran are all regarded as some of the best players in the world today and Pyosik also was a future world champion. It was just a bit too early for them. If they stuck together for another year maybe they could've won the World Championship. In 2021, during a disappointing season with HLE, Deft injured his hand. Most people thought that would be it for him and he would retire but no, Deft decided to give himself one LAST shot to win the Worlds Championship. He rejoined DRX at the end of 2021. He was teammates with Kingen and Zeka who were young players many people didnt rate that highly. He also teamed up with Pyosik again. But most importantly, he was paired with BeryL in the bot lane, a veteran who just had been to 2 world championship finals in a row but had been let go by Damwon to pursue ''a better bot lane''. Now its important to understand that there was no expectations for this DRX team, they were complete underdogs and most people thought they would be a middle of the pack team in LCK and not make Worlds. That was largely how their season went. They were doing very good in a practice environment but just couldnt translate it to stage. They were mediocre. They barely scraped into the Summer playoffs but they lost early and finished 6th (LCK only has 4 spots for Worlds). They then had one last shot at the regional qualifiers to make it to worlds. They had 2 GRUELING 5 game series to unexpectedly make it to Worlds, beating LSB. But again, nobody actually had any expectations for them at worlds. They breezed through the play-in stage against weaker teams and got slotted into a group with Rogue (Europe's best team) and Top Esports (China's 2nd best, regarded as best by some) Most people thought their run would be over then and there but no! DRX actually topped that group and TES got knocked out. That was incredibly crazy at the time, TES was thought to have some of the greatest players in the world including Jackeylove and Knight, and Chinese teams rarely get knocked out at group stage. In the quarter finals, their opponents were EDG, the reigning world champions coming from China. 2 ex teammates of Deft, Meiko and Scout were playing for EDG and Deft was a former player of their. DRX fell down 0-2 in this series, 1 game away from elimination. Game 2 was particulary interesting. Deft was hitting the opponents base but couldnt end the game due to a 1 in a MILLION moment. It's hard to explain, just know that most people would give up after that game. Not DRX though, they rallied and they went on to win their next 3 games to make the Semi Finals. This series was played on Deft's birthday. At the end of the series, they gave a birthday cake to Deft during his interview and the whole stadium cheered for him and sang happy birthday. When the interviewer said that Deft hadnt made it past the quarter finals in 8 years, Deft started to cry. It was an extremely touching moment. Their opponents at the semi finals was Gen G, the champions of Korea. DRX was 0-8 vs Gen G throughout the year before the series and Gen G were overwhelming favourites. Gen G also had 2 of Deft's ex teammates in that 2020 DRX team, Chovy and Doran. In hindsight, this was the easiest series for DRX. They fell 0-1 down but went on to win the next 3 games in a fairly comfortable fashion. This was the series that had people starting to consider DRX as serious contenders. Their opponents in the final was T1, The greatest organization in League of Legends history and the team of Keria and FAKER. T1 were extremely dominant that tournament and once again were thought to be overwhelming favourites. People just thought it was a step too far for DRX. They fell 1-0 behind, than equalized to make it 1-1. They then fell behind 2-1 after one of the greatest games in League of Legends history. T1 stole 2 baron buffs from DRX. Most teams would be done mentally after that but the next game was a testament to their most important attribute, mental strength. They bounced back and made it 2-2. Its very rare for a worlds final to go to all 5 games. Its safe to say that every neutral fan was rooting for Deft at that moment. He was so close to finally winning it. The game 5 deserves a 1000 word essay on its own but here's the TLDR: T1 stole another baron but DRX managed to rally and come back in later teamfights, clinching the World Championship. Their toplaner, Kingen was the star that game. He kept them in it. Deft had finally done it. It was another emotional interview that made many people cry. Keria was absolutely distraught and tears at the end of the game. He had won Deft a World Championship but not in the way he wanted. Now, this was all focused on Deft but I wanna give a shout-out to a few other people. Kingen, their toplaner went godmode in the finals and was the star. Pyosik kept DRX in many games with his ''never give up'' mentality. Zeka had one of the best tournaments ever by any player ever and became a household name. Beryl proved that he doesn't need Damwon to succeed. He once again showcased his incredible leadership and innovativeness. If you read this till the end, thank you. Sorry its too long. The story of Deft is just so incredible.

the way everyone's gagged at haerin's intro im here for it

Haerin voice 😊

Danielle’s voice is so good... ACE ❤

This is not really newjeans cuz its LoL but the song was immaculate. Now i wanna see them perform it so bad... Oh and go T1

You were close! It’s not just from last year worlds but the story of Deft’s 7 attempts at winning the cup (winning finally last year in the most unexpected run) It was poetic in a way cause some of the opponents he eventually faced in last years Worlds were his former teammates and close friends (Keria being his closest)

so good 🔥🔥

Im also duke “”this is new jeans??” Hahahaha

G2 winning worlds, Duke spitting facts right there🔥🔥🔥
