The Seoul Dynasty Anthems

The Seoul Dynasty have commissioned different Korean artists to craft them different anthems. They were the first time to have a custom song for their players to walk out to. Each song has its own personal vibe that highlights were the organization and team were at during that time. All three songs have a heavy influence of rap involved and are associated with Korean American artists. Here is a look at each song and how they represent the era of Gen.G.

82 by pH-1

Of all the songs, this one would be the most associated with the Seoul Dynasty. It was present during the BALA era. The iconic walkout during the debut of the song, is ingrained into the minds of Tiger Nation. pH-1’s song served as their walk-out song for two seasons that did not get disrupted by Covid.

The lyrics are specifically crafted to fit the Seoul Dynasty. The mention of the location as well as the gaming terms integrated made it perfect for the team. They were combing the cultures of Korean and America just as they as a team were representing Korea in California. Gen.G as a whole also is a trans-national brand having headquarters in both America and South Korea. This represents their hopeful future in the Overwatch League with an upbeat rhythm. It was the shortest of the songs, which shows the testing of the waters of this new idea. It was an anthem for the players to hype them up for the match to come.

Bomb! by Junoflo

Bomb! represented more of the organization not just the Seoul Dynasty. From the time that pH-1 82 came out to now 2020 a lot had happened to Gen.G. This song shows the growth which is evident in the video that now integrated all of the different teams not just the Seoul Dynasty. In Season 3, less people were aware of this song as Covid had the matches in two different regions. Not as many fans would stay up and watch APAC as they would when matches were more aligned for NA during Season 1 and 2. This anthem had so much untapped potential for the homestands, that never was unleashed. The sound has a harder, more ‘fighting’ sound through the pacing and lyrics, such as ‘Champion this my throne.’ It defines the growth era of Gen.G. They were showing their

All In by Jay Park and pH-1

All In by Jay Park is the newest iteration of the Gen.G anthems. Jay Park is the largest artist so far, when it comes to celebrity status, that Gen.G has gotten to work with. This song follows in the footsteps of Junoflo’s Bomb! that it is more overarching to fit the whole of the organization than just the Seoul Dynasty. This is the first time there is both Korean and English in the lyrics, as the previous two songs were in English. That small aspect really shows a growing into their own and their brand identity.

The players actually got to meet Jay Park and in turn Jay Park got to see what the Gen.G players do for a living. It was a melding of worlds that showed mutual respect. The title of ‘All In’ showed the mindset of the org. It was time for them to step up not just in Overwatch but the other titles that they were a part in. The electronic rap sound again illustrated the evolution from the rap track of pH-1 to now having him re-featured displays Gen.G’s goals of continuing with what they have built but also improving. This song hasn’t been able to have its moment yet. With Covid stepping in the way for many in-person events, the song hasn’t been able to shine as it can. Hopefully that it is can get its proper moment in Season 5 of the Overwatch League.

Walk Out Songs

Gen.G has never been shy with ambition when it comes to their walk-out songs and anthems. Hopefully, in 2022 there will be many stages for all their songs to be highlighted. One can only wonder who the next big name will represent the Gen.G anthem next.
