I saw the devs commented about this saying there wasn't enough champions that fit the archetype of boy band but personally I think there is. Ezreal Rakan Taric Kayn Jayce would probably be the most obvious picks but moreover you have Vladimir Yasuo Ekko Sylas Draven Varus , who don't quite fit the description but they could definitely be made to, kind of like how there's nothing inherently kpop about kaisa but they made it work.

For the record I don't really care if they even consider a boy band for the next big song however given how popular k/da was I think it would be financially a good idea to try to do that again just with guys this time because kpop bands exist for both genders and the music is different enough to not seem repetitive.

For a kpop band, i think Ezreal Yasuo Varus Rakan Vladimir Kayn Jayce are the best picks

I wouldn't pick Taric because he doesn't really have that boyish charm most kpop idols have. Same with Draven The other champs have that attractive young boyish charm (which can mostly be seen in some of their skins)

I didn't include Ekko in the list even tho he would be one of the best candidates because i'm pretty sure hell would break loose if riot made a skin for Ekko where he isn't black

TL;DR Ezreal Malzahar Talon Ekko are the pretty boys. Kayn TwistedFate Viktor Varus Vladimir can fit with some work. Rakan YasuoShen Zed Ryze Brand Jayce Draven can fit with a lot of work

Taric IS NOT A PRETTY BOY. And he would never fit in a 'boy band'. I don't understand why so many people seem to think the guy would fit as a freaking eboy.

And the thing about Kai'Sa is they made it work- by making her a foreigner. That's her gimmick in the band lore.

This game actually has a very limited number of pretty boys. Pretty boys have a specific body type and facial type. Ezreal - The pretty boy king, who was based off anime from the beginning. Beyond him we have Malzahar - When his hood is down, the guy is the second prettiest boy character after Ezreal himself. Seen here in his old splash. Talon -Outside of his base skin, he's pretty much always depicted as a pretty teenage boy when his face is shown, easily the third most bishonen character. For instance SSW, ES, and DB. Ekko - He, excluding literal children, is the youngest male character in the game at only 17. He fits by default.

Those are the four most suited to the 'pretty boy' role.

Then there are the ones with the proper body shape to have pretty boy skins made for them, even if personality-wise and style wise they don't fit.

Kayn - Kayn is not quite a pretty boy, but he could easily fit into the role with minimal design changes. TwistedFate - Yeah, TF. If he cleaned himself up and shaved, basically had a style overhaul, the guy could definitely look like a pretty boy. He has a slender frame fit for the role. Viktor - Viktor is the nerd to Jayce's jock, Jayce is a tough guy type with a broad build, Viktor is the opposite. Though he'd need a lot more changes than Tobias. Varus - Varus is very much like Kayn here. He is literally made up of two pretty boys so it makes sense. Vladimir Vlad, despite his ugly af model, could also easily become a pretty boy, and has actually done so for the Academy line: See?

Then you have the guys who, despite being attractive, aren't really 'pretty boys'. They're more jocky. Rakan - He is at the border of this category, moreso due to his personality than his build. Yasuo - Also at the border. Zed - Along with Shen, maskless art has shown us he could potentially fit into a pretty boy role. Shen - Same with Zed. Ryze - As Young Ryze shows he is at the border with them in pretty boy potential. Brand - Remove the charred corpse aspect and Brand could definitely look like a pretty boy. Lucian - Lucian is definitely attractive. Saying otherwise is honestly just trying to go against convention, even if he isn't your type, but he's not a pretty boy. Jayce - Jayce could easily be fit into a more boyish role, as his Battle Academia skin shows here. But as his debonair skin shows, he definitely isn't a pretty boy. And the Battle Academia skin even has him in the 'cool best friend' role to Ezreal's own pretty boy. Draven Draven, like Rakan is on the border here, but he's on the opposite border, he could probably be made to work as a pretty boy, but it would be really jarring, and not feel natural.

Now we get to the, and I hate myself for using this, please suggest a better category name, 'daddies'.🤮 Graves JarvanIV Swain Tryndamere Not elaborating, because, well, no, I'm staying away from this category.

Then we get to the really buff guys, outright body builders, despite their attractiveness. Garen - Shoulders. Darius - Shoulders. Braum - Shoulders. Taric - Actually at the border. He is, and again I hate saying this, a borderline 'daddy'. 🤮

Or perhaps we can stop making music band skin lines. It's a bit played out now
