NEWJEANS on a LEAGUE song?? - GODS ft. NewJeans Reaction

When I found out they put NewJeans on the new LoL Worlds 2023 anthem...... you know I had to do a live reaction.

Newjeans never stopped surprising us. This group only debuted a year ago! They are the future or currently the present? I’ve never seen a group these much activities barely a year from debuting. Nobody can complain if they win all major awards this year.

[@ChloeBari]

So true! They’re climbing so fast I can’t wait to see what they do in the next year 🥹

[@tango2usa1]

The song is absolutely fantastic; I love NewJeans. I can’t wait to hear them perform on stage. ❤👏

[@nathannelson463]

Well, New Jeans might not have showed up IN the video, and you MIGHT NOT get their vocals without the backing track, but you KNOW they're gonna be performing at the Opening Ceremonies! Maybe that's a good consolation prize. :-) Love your enthusiasm! Thank you for the reaction!

[@ChloeBari]

YES it's the best consolation, I'm so excited!! Thank you for the kind words

[@ckexpresso]

NewJeans is the only k pop GG I’m obsessed with and they can pull off any genre of music.

[@marsi8169]

I really like the way the story of the video itself is combined with the song itself. The success story of Deft, its ups and downs over 10 years and eventually winning the World Cup. This is amazing, the lowest bow to the Riot’s.

[@ChloeBari]

It almost had me in tears I was really close hahaha

[@erichoodlet3505]

My girl hanni said oh you need this chorus to be epic.. i got you. She slayed.

[@nana1987]

Same girl Same..newjeans never disappoints ❤❤

[@lachlanhudson7404]

C9 was actually at the end! Blaber's profile (which looks off to me, his cheeks too thick and same with the neck) but the backwards white and blue cap shows him and you can see him again from behind on the final screen with his blaber jersey and hat again!

[@ChloeBari]

Omg what! Clearly I’m blind, it took me so long to realize they were using champ abilities 😂

[@Starvin-Marvin]

New Jeans went from “I’m super shy” to “woke up and chose violence!” Proof that video games changes people.

[@twitchcaelas]

Glad you love League Chloe and New Jeans 💚

[@IIIDOOBOOIII]

잘 보고 갑니다 New Jeans 😊😊😊

[@Deewexi]

I cant wait for them to perform in the finals.

[@ChloeBari]

ME TOO I can’t wait to see if they’ll dance!

[@user-tp5xk2oc9l]

i love newjeans too❤

[@zerodawn09]

something to note g-idol does pop/stars at their live events (yea it sounds great) i wonder if they will let newjeans do the same.

[@peterpeterson5248]

There are two reactions from KZbinrs who watched this video. As soon as I saw the early high school scene I was like "Oh! That's Faker and Deft!" Those who say it and those who don't. At this point, your video's view and like rates will vary significantly.

[@Danielle_bunny]

I love newjeans

[@ciberoyuncu7459]

its good to be happy about newjeans but actually kpop fans need to give some credit to league song directors/writers as well, they are the ones who actualy wrote the lyrics and made this banger beat

[@ChloeBari]

True I def should have acknowledged this I totally forgot! I’ve played the game and followed the music for a few years now, they’ve made some bangers for sure

[@aqwevony3275]

Yeah it's disrespectful to the music team in riot when people just dismiss their efforts cuz of the featuring artist. Riot writes their own stuff and beats and then get the artist to perform it.

[@jingwei558]

Just discovered you today, and this was after your Paranoia reaction got recc'd to me, but I just want to give my thoughts on both songs here. Also, gonna add some rambles about K-pop and NewJeans for context. Gods - NewJeans Honestly, I didn't even know they existed before this song. Not to diss them or the fans, but I've been out of the kpop loop for a very long time. I wanna say since maybe 2016 or 2017. Wasn't a huge fan of BTS and BlackPink, but I aknowledge they have some good songs and some I do like. NewJeans on the other hand just wasn't for me. I looked up some songs by them and wasn't really feeling their regular stuff so to speak. My thoughts on Gods is that I like it more than their other stuff. While it does feel like the typical league song, it still has a different sound. Yeah it still has that EDM feel cause of MAKO, but at the same time it just feels different compared to like Silver Scrapes, Rise, etc. Part of the reason I think Fly, Phoenix, Fly and Legends Never Die are so good. Originally, I wasn't a huge fan of the song, but it has grown on me the more I have listened to it. Which is a lot cause I do like seeing reactions. Always cool to see Non-League fans or in some cases League haters react to the songs. My favourite part of the song is Hanni's Heart, Unbreakable line. The song does get a lot of hate cause its not NewJean's style, their voices don't match it, their voices aren't powerful enough for this type of song etc. But, Honestly its just the right amount. The Video itself I really enjoyed as someone who has been a league fan for a long time. It showcasing the struggles of Deft and him finally overcoming the final hurdle and winning the world championship a lot of league players dream about. Not to mention him having to take down his former teammates and long time rival. For some extra context Faker and Deft went to the same High School together. Paranoia - Heartsteel I don't really have much to say that I wasn't a fan of the song. The death of a rockstar bit is the best part of the song while everything else just felt so meh to me. Not really my cup of tea personally. I also found the video while it was well animated just kinda lacking something to hook me iin. Final Ratings Gods - 8/10 Paranoia - 3/10 If you do end up reading this comment ty for your time and Have a wonderful day. Will give a sub and a like to the video.

[@ChloeBari]

Thank you for sharing!! As someone who has been a League player and a NewJeans fan separately for a long time, seeing the collaboration was very exciting but I can understand why fans on both sides didn’t like the end product. The background context you gave on the video makes me like it even more now! I also don’t blame you for not liking Paranoia. I think it’s a fun song but I don’t really think it fully matches the champs they chose for it. I still listen to it though bc I like it as a stand alone song and I like the artists they chose for the project. :) Hope to get your thoughts on future videos as well!

[@jingwei558]

@@ChloeBari For sure. I think it was worlds 2020 an artist I really enjoyed got to collaborate with the K/DA girls. And due to covid she was the only one who was able to perform live on stage in China. Her name was Lexie Liu and she was seraphine's voice for the song. Was really exciting to see the collaboration. The way she swaps between Chinese (not sure whether is Mandarin or Cantonese) and English is impressive. So, I can see why NewJeans fans were excited. Also, one of the players on the team that eventually won worlds said: I'm Coming NewJeans affter they won in Semi-finals. If you want to check out some Lexie Liu I can rec some songs. Jia Ren - Pretty much 99% in Chinese with a few english lyrics. Mostly a promotional song from Kappa. Like what Coca Cola did with NewJeans. Except she isn't only singing about the product. More of a woman empowerment type song. Delulu is a song that came out 2 days ago (as of writing this comment). Penrose, Holy, Metropolis, Aqua Blue, Magician, Fortuna (she also has some spanish parts in this one.) I like a lot of her discography.

[@trinitypikaboo8838]

You will hear them perform at the lol finals.

[@formidable4748]

C9 is represented by Blaber. The guy with the cap in the player showcase

[@Acebets70]

Minji has a great low register

[@ChloeBari]

UGH so true they should use it more, the lowest I can think of is Ditto

[@ryandewilde6396]

Hey Chloe! You said that K/DA exists out of all the (G)I-dle members but it is only Cho Mi-yeon (Ahri) and Jeon So-yeon (Akali) who are part of K/DA. The other members are Madison Beer (Evelynn), Jaira Burns (Kai'Sa) and Bea Miller (Kai'Sa). Bonus credit for Kim Petras who sang VILLAIN alongside of Madison Beer. Hope this clears everything up! And even though I hadn't had heard of NewJeans I really like the song especially after listening a couple of times now, you really hear all the details and high notes they hit. It's a super well mixed song.

[@ChloeBari]

Ohh thank you! I knew they had added Madison Beer but wasn’t sure who was who :) also love that Kim was part of a song, that’s super cool!

[@Danielle_bunny]

Dani’s vocals suits this song

[@thongnguyenthach8272]

newjeans eat

[@ChloeBari]

always!!! and no crumbs left in sight!!!

[@arnc9191]

She asked where is C9 while completely missing C9 Blaber at 5:07...🤣🤣

[@ChloeBari]

I don’t want to talk about it!!! 😂 in my defense that doesn’t look like Blaber to me at ALL besides the backwards hat

[@arnc9191]

All good. In the Rise video, we only had the team logo and signature champ's weapon to deduce the players... kudos to Riot for putting in the work for animating the "side characters". lol

[@isaac2986]

this worlds is gonna be the most hype due to the new format, also the worlds theme song is way better than Starwalkin since it fits with the hype around worlds.

[@ni5439]

KDA also has a song sung by Twice

[@ChloeBari]

Omg I love Twice I’m going to go investigate right now

[@ni5439]

@@ChloeBari The song is called "I'll show you"

[@viktoravramescu9566]

sorry to say but the song from lil nas x was everything but the typical LoL Worlds Anthem. It was to much commercial pop/radio sound without any kind of hype for the actual LoL fanbase. The song from NEWJeans hits exactly the nerve of the community beeing ultra hype, building up tension and releasing it in insane drops. GJ

[@aaronpodskoc5970]

It was definitely better than last year's, but no where near the greats like Warriors, Rise, Pheonix, or Legends Never Die.

[@ChloeBari]

Big agree I love Legends Never Die!

[@ManFromNowhere89]

That's ur opinions. See u commenting the same thing on others' reactions video. I've listened to others and this one is more fire😂

[@danteriddick7037]

FIRST!

[@emilialeblanc712]

This is the reaction I'm lookin for. Reacting for music not getting caught of well made video. Just focusing on the song. Majestically Powerful Superbly breathtaking New jeans song.

[@ChloeBari]

Aw yay!

[@ItsMe-bt4tm]

She said wheres C9 bro we suck LUL One of these days NA will win Worlds

[@Starvin-Marvin]

New Jeans went from “I’m super shy” to “woke up and chose violence!” Proof that video games changes people.
