I guess our S<3NES were sleeping on the job?
Dance: It’s an element of K-pop that can’t be overlooked. From the groovy retro moves of T-ara and the Wonder Girls to the sexy hip-swaying of the Brown Eyed Girls, K-pop dances have taken over the world… or at least the Internet.
Sure, sure, there are plenty of complex, practically impossible, backflip-bboy-handstand-split-filled choreographies here and there that are impressive to watch, but this week’s we’ve picked 10 of the best songs to dance along to: MTV K’s TOP 10 DANCE CRAZES!
I’m talking fun, catchy, and sometimes just plain embarrassing to learn. Let’s admit it, we’ve all had our awkward moments, like getting a leg stuck while trying to do Son Dambi’s chair move or realizing that KARA’s butt dance just doesn’t look as cool without those suspenders. But that’s why we love ‘em and cover ‘em. No shame!
Here is MTV K’s list of 10 songs that sparked awesome videos gone viral and hilarious parodies by Korea’s top idols and comedians.
And if you haven’t already, check out EPISODE 1 of MTV K’s new show STUDIO 5 to watch our host Grace and special guest Ellie count down this week’s TOP 10 for you!
Voting ends Sunday, October 2 at 11:59PM EST, and your rankings for the Top 10 Dance Crazes will be revealed next Wednesday!
