Faker, the greatest and most popular player in League of Legends esports, was spotted in one of the latest songs released by the Korean K-pop group Stray Kids.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earlier today, Stray Kids held a\u00a0press conference at Conrad Seoul to announce the release of their fourth full-length album,\u00a0KARMA<\/em>. Before the start of the conference, the music group released the music video for one of the album\u2019s tracks, \u201cCEREMONY<\/a>\u201c, featuring the members competing as athletes in different sports.<\/p>\n At the end of the video, however, it was the GOAT Faker who took the spotlight, briefly showing him at the computer and then making his signature pose. The song conveys the message of celebrating success after going through periods of hard work and struggles, common to many sports disciplines, but also applicable to esports.<\/p>\n Faker (\uc774\uc0c1\ud601 @faker<\/a>), the five-time League of Legends World Champion, makes special cameo in #StrayKids<\/a> music video for “CEREMONY.”<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac https:\/\/t.co\/ptOxtFYP7G<\/a><\/p>\n STRAY KIDS GOOD KARMA DAY#StrayKids_CEREMONY_OutNow<\/a>#\uc2a4\ud0a4\uc988\ucef4\ubc31_\ucd95\ud558\uc758_\uc138\ub808\uba38\ub2c8<\/a>#CEREMONY<\/a> @Stray_Kids<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/uGM0dMd3uM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 billboard SKZ (@billboardskz) August 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Felix \u201cFelix<\/strong>\u201d Yongbok Lee revealed at the conference how honored they were to have Faker in the latest Stray Kids music video: \u201cFaker filmed our music video while we were on tour. He did a great job, and although I couldn\u2019t meet him in person, I\u2019m grateful and honored. If we get another chance, I\u2019d love to meet him and play games.\u201d<\/p>\n The unexpected crossover took both fandoms by surprise, with the music video already surpassing two million views on YouTube in less than four hours.<\/p>\n Ever since the creation of the virtual K\u2011pop girl K\/DA, League of Legends has had several crossovers with the music world. Several Korean stars, including the likes of Byun Baekhyun, Jay Park, and Kim Hee-chul, have all expressed their love for esports. Baekhyun, in particular, was among the artists who gave their voice to Riot Games\u2019 own virtual music group HEARTSTEEL and performed at the League of Legends World Championship<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
