At a LCK game, ILLIT’s Minju created a buzz in the gaming community, as spectators were thrilled by her exceptional skill and mastery of the character Katarina.

This time around, I’d like you all to feel as if you’re drawn to it, just like a magnet does. The song that’s been making waves everywhere, particularly on TikTok, is “Magnetic” by ILLIT. It’s a hit that broke a record, reaching an astounding 500 million streams on Spotify and becoming the fastest debut song to achieve this milestone. And guess what? One of its members, Minju, has been creating quite a buzz in the esports community due to her involvement in the LCK.

Minju in the LCK

Minju, a 20-year-old South Korean artist, hails from the widely acclaimed K-pop group ILLIT. This band skyrocketed to fame in 2024 and dominated pop music, captivating listeners worldwide. Beyond her musical talents, Minju is also an avid gamer.

On the first of April, Minju attended the highly anticipated LCK opening game between Hanwha Life and Gen.G. Despite Hanwha Life losing the match 0-2, it was Minju who stole the spotlight, as all eyes were on her while she was in the audience.

A Katarina main

Beyond just being extremely well-known in South Korea, she has recently attracted attention due to her open discussions about her gaming adventures, particularly her involvement with League of Legends.

In a chat, she shared that she began playing League of Legends (LoL) in elementary school, and has stuck with champion Katarina ever since. Despite the demanding K-pop idol lifestyle, she amassed an impressive 700k points using Katarina. She also mentioned that she chose Katarina because she found her attractive, and reached Platinum level playing her.

Two weeks past, Minju along with her ILLIT group mates engaged in a lively and humorous League of Legends match. Since Minju was the only one who had played the game before, she selected the champions for the others. If you’d like to watch the entire video, it’s available on YouTube with English subtitles.
