[@smithchippie5546]

I'm really curious how RIOT came to find Soyeon and Miyeon in the first place. When they started the project (G)I-DLE hadn't even debuted yet, and by the time KDA performance came round (G)I-DLE had already blown up as a hit group. Crazy how RIOT saw their potential and got them onboard before they had even debuted or become a big group.

[@samanthabourne4865]

They would still know of the idols even if they hadn't debuted yet. Soyeon was a well known rapper from her pre-debut survival shows and Miyeon was actually a (7 year?) rookie with YG as one of the trainees that was supposed to debut with the original concept for what we now know as BlackPink. So idols are technically still "around" before debut. All Riot did find rookies that fit what they wanted those to characters to be and we're so glad they picked our girls 🤩

while watching this it gave me goosebumps thinking on the idea of how K/DA was created. such a big imagination and creativity was put into it and made fictional characters feel real people. amazing.

K/DA scored a perfect 10 with the More music video. Curious about how they are going to top it.

[@brucelivingston2220]

I'm not really a kpop fan, I'm a 36 year old dude, that discovered Dreamcatcher about a year ago. Until now, I've listened to mostly classic rock. Because of DC, I've discovered other cool stuff though, such as as K/DA.
