The League of Legends: Wild Rift Southeast Asia (SEA) Championship grand finals will take place on Oct. 3. Riot has teased that the popular Korean girl group Aespa will be performing in the opening ceremony.
Aespa is a South Korean group formed by the Seoul-based entertainment company, SM Entertainment. Their debut single, Black Mamba, was released on Nov. 17, 2020 and quickly climbed to become the number one Korean song on China’s biggest streaming service, QQ Music for three weeks. Aespa are currently slated to release their first mini-album containing six songs on Oct. 5. The album and its title track are called Savage.
The SEA Championship is taking place as an online event, but it seems that viewers will get to see a performance nonetheless. No details about the performance have been revealed yet.
