  "account": "Riot Music has resurrected three of its most popular League of Legends pop groups, but only one has emerged victorious. Known for turning champions into popstars, rockstars, and hip-hop stars, Riot Music has created successful bands like K/DA and True Damage. K/DA, in particular, had a breakthrough with their platinum-certified single \"Pop/Stars\" in 2019 and was the first K-pop girl group to achieve such a feat. However, since 2020, Riot Music has only released one song with Heartsteel, a one-hit wonder that showed a softer side of the group. True Damage returned with \"Know My Name,\" which felt closer to their old tone, but its music video featuring T1 overshadowed the champions it was meant to honor. The comeback that generated the most buzz is K/DA, whose new single \"Firestarter\" has taken over the charts. With this group's return, Riot Music has clearly chosen its favorite among the three, and fans agree, as K/DA is the reporter's favorite as well.",
