Tzuyu, the youngest member and official visual of the popular K-pop girl group Twice, has a surprising passion beyond her dazzling stage performances: gaming.

While other Twice members, Jihyo and Mina, are well-known for their gaming hobbies, Tzuyu quietly enjoys diving into the world of League of Legends (LoL).

“This might sound boring, but I think sleeping is really important, and also eating well,” she told Cosmopolitan Korea. “And sometimes, I play League of Legends with my older brother.”

LoL is a popular online multiplayer game where two teams of five players battle it out to destroy the enemy base. Each player controls a powerful character with unique abilities, making it a fast-paced game that requires strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking.

Tzuyu discovered the game in 2023 and has since become a dedicated player, as revealed in an episode of KBS’ variety show, Idol Human Theater. She often takes on the support role, a crucial position that involves assisting and protecting teammates.

Tzuyu isn’t the only Twice member with a love for gaming. She has previously played Wild Rift, the mobile version of LoL, with her fellow idol Chaeyoung.

Twice’s connection to gaming extends beyond individual member preferences. In the past, the group collaborated with Riot Games Music to create “I’ll Show You,” a track featured in the All Out EP by K/DA, a virtual girl group comprised of LoL champions.
