Here are 5 of the most viral female K-pop dances ever.
An eye-catching and easy-to-memorize choreography plays a major role in the success and coverage of a K-pop idol song. Whenever we listen to songs with a viral point dance, we can immediately dance along. The following 5 K-pop girl group songs have the most iconic dance moves that every fan should know.
TWICE – Cheer Up
The killing part of Cheer Up, “Shy Shy Shy” shows a shy expression when the girl in the MV feels guilty she can’t pick up your call. The “Shy Shy Shy” hand gesture went viral because of Sana‘s super adorable voice and expressions. This is both TWICE‘s iconic dance and Sana’s legendary aegyo.
BLACKPINK – DDU-DU DDU-DU
DDU-DU DDU-DU was released in June 2018 and quickly became one of the most popular songs of BLACKPINK. Not only does the song capture attention with its catchy melody and visually pleasing MV, the addictive gun-shooting dance move is also what makes DDU-DU DDU-DU‘s success.
A fun fact is that, as revealed by BLACKPINK members, this iconic move is not the original choreography of DDU-DU DDU-DU. The viral hand choreography in the chorus was changed on the day BLACKPINK filmed their MV.
aespa – Next Level
Dubbed the “monster rookie” of K-pop 4th generation, aespa has been enjoying huge success with the release of back-to-back hits last year, Next Level and Savage. Not only drawing attention thanks to the distinctive musicality, aespa’s songs also have dances that easily go viral.
The most iconic dance of aespa definitely comes from Next Level. The song was considered a “mess” when it first came out, but thanks to its addictive chorus together with the C-shaped hand choreography, Next Level later turned the situation around and became a hit with countless dance covers.
ITZY – Wannabe
Wannabe marked a successful second comeback of ITZY and is also considered the era of center Ryujin. The shoulder dance move Ryujin did in Wannabe’s opening took social media by storm and created a viral dance challenge as soon as the song was dropped. The female idol may make the shoulder dance look easy and effortless, but it is actually a lot harder than it seems to shake shoulders as perfectly as Ryujin.
StayC – ASAP
StayC’s most widely-known song ASAP has a bright and cheerful energy. The song became popular thanks to its addictive, catchy chorus and the super viral kkuk kkuki dance. It was thanks to the success of ASAP that StayC was officially listed among the most outstanding 4th generation girl groups.
