With esports getting more and more popular, global artists are coming together to support their country’s teams. The American team 100 Thieves had Lil Nas X rooting for them with a special collaborative music video. And in South Korea’s corner, we have none other than K-pop icon Sunmi. K-pop and League of Legends fans also had their worlds colliding once before when Sunmi appeared on DWG KIA’s YouTube in January. She had appeared in a fun segment where she helped team member ShowMaker take the perfect selfies.

The ‘Go or Stop’ music video is a fun cinematic piece that was directed by the idol herself. Full of house and trap sounds, the music video sees Sunmi channeling her inner gamer. With baby pink hair, she is seen dancing to the intense song under neon strobe lights and sci-fi props. In other news, Sunmi is also preparing for her first online concert ‘Good Girl Gone Mad’. It is her first concert after her world tour in 2019. The concert will be held on October 30 at 2 pm KST (1 am ET). Tickets can be bought from Weverse Shop.
