Q. How did the collaboration happen?
Baekhyun: Riot Games proposed a collaboration and because I've always been a big fan of the game, I quickly accepted the request! Although at the start, I didn't know I was going to voice as Ezreal (Laugh)
Q. You have performed on many stages so far, but i think performing at the opening ceremony of the LOL 2023 World Championship will be a different experience. Please tell us a little bit about what kind of performance you are preparing.
Baekhyun: Since I participated as the Korean representative for the 'HEARTSTEEL' project, I feel a sense of responsability and I am working hard to prepare to show a strong performance and live performance. In particular, we plan to show it to many listeners around the world who love K-pop.
Since I have a lot of affection for the song, I usually record quickly, but I think I was careful while recording 'PARANOIA' for quite a long time.
Q. Most memorable comment you saw with regards to the reactions to this project?
Baekhyun : "He suits Ezreal's voice." That's a high praise. As I received much more love (for this project) than expected, I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude.
Q. You are the only Korean artist in the project. Since it was a collaboration with various artists from all over the world, there must have been some difficulties, right?
Baekhyun: Thanks to Riot Games, I was happy to be able to collaborate with various artists from around the world. In particular, everyone was very talented musically, so it was a happy project for me. Personally, after playing as Ezreal for a long time, I felt that he was just a mischievous champion, but I think that was only his appearance during battle. When recording as HEARTSTEEL member Ezreal, I thought I should show the public this guy's unexpected charm, so I tried to create a different image.
