SB19 is bringing the fire to the party! The P-pop pioneer group is conquering the e-sports world as they set to release a cover of K/DA’s single “Firestarter” this November 10. 

The track, “Firestarter,” is a song by K/DA, the virtual girl group from League of Legends, an online game developed by Riot Games. The group is an alternate storyline of the character champions from the game itself, consisting of 4 members, Ahri (Miyeon), Akali (Soyeon), Evelynn (Sophie Powers), Kai’Sa (Mimi Webb).

K/DA released “Firestarter” in October as a part of their 4-part EP of the same name. Coming back from their 6 year hiatus, the release became viral amongst the e-sports community, already garnering over 46 million views. 

SB19 spanked conversations online from both P-pop and E-sports fandoms when they announced their cover on November 6. 

SB19’s fandom, A’TIN, were surprised yet supportive of the release, commending how SB19 is stepping out of the box with the cover. Meanwhile, members of the e-sports community were intrigued with the concept of a P-pop group covering a League of Legends song. 

However, the cover isn’t as unexpected as it seems as the P-pop group has already collaborated with an online game before. In November 2025, SB19 released “Burn The Flame,” which became the official anthem of the multiplayer game Honor the Kings.  

SB19 covering “Firestarter,” shows how the group’s artistry goes beyond the local landscape. This gives them an opportunity to showcase their talent to a wider audience. While the group has garnered a fanbase spanning around the globe, the venture bridges the world of P-pop and e-sports, spreading their music to an entirely new community and even a chance to further collaborate with game developers.
