Dancer Bae Yoon-jung, “I Heard ‘Up & Down’ Was EXID’s Last Song Before Disbanding”

Channel A’s “Table For 4” broadcast on July 22nd showed famous K-pop choreographer Bae Yoon-jung appearing as a guest and revealing various stories.

“Hitmaker” dancer Bae Yoon-jung mentioned behind-the-scenes stories of when she created the choreographies for Brown Eyed Girls’ “Abracadabra”, T-ara’s “Bo Peep Bo Peep” and Kara’s “Mister”.

She continued, “I kept doing well for 10 years since then. Then a group named EXID came to me and said, ‘If our song doesn’t do well this time… if we can’t do well this time, we will have to disband’. So I decided to help them”.

Bae Yoon-jung shared, “The song is so good, and they emphasize the part ‘up and down’. I’ve used my pelvis too much, however, I felt like I had to use ‘pelvis’ dance in this song. So I decided to create the dance with the pelvis shaking up and down. I just sent it to them first with the thought, ‘If it is rejected, I’ll do another one’”.

She added, “However, the release of the song was delayed due to problems with the schedule. All I could say to the members was, ‘I don’t always work with only successful groups. There are many times we succeeded after working together during difficult times. You guys will do well, too’. Later, I received a call from them and they told me that Hani’s fancam went viral. EXID’s success made me feel exceptionally happy”, expressing her emotions about EXID’s achievement.
