How do you choose your bias when it comes to K-Pop idols? For us at Teenage, we tend to go for the dancers of the groups ’cause we’re visual people. Who are the best dance machines in the industry (IOHO)? Without rankings, here are the top 10.
EXO Kai
Trained in jazz and ballet at a young age, this charismatic dancer’s stage presence is so strong that you can’t help but get sucked in whenever he performs. If you haven’t noticed (how could you not?!), go watch all the EXO videos.
EXO Lay
We feel that Lay was often overshadowed by Kai in EXO’s early days but now that they’re more established, we’re definitely seeing more of Lay and no one’s complaining. His moves are so packed with power, it’s like we’re being punched in the face (virtually and in a good way) every time we watch him perform.
Girls’ Generation Hyoyeon
Though not the prettiest in Girls’ Generation, this girl popped and locked her way into everyone’s heart when they first debut in 2007. Fast forward 9 years later, she’s still one of the best idol dancers around. Hyoyeon joined Dancing With The Stars Korea which further confirmed her status as a dancing machine.
Bigbang Taeyang
Do we even need to explain why Taeyang is in this list? He got us wanting more with his slick moves and smooth voice when he started out as a solo artist. He’s often described as Korea’s Usher but we think he’s so much better in so many way. Watching the ‘Ringa Linga’ dance performance video gives us life!
Shinee Taemin
Taemin has stolen numerous noona‘s (big sister) hearts with his moves and it isn’t hard to see why. He’s been in the industry for 8 years at a tender age of 23 and we say that he still has lots to show. Have you seen his performances on ‘Hit The Stage’?
Ex-2NE1 Minzy
Our favourite maknae dancing machine has proved herself on multiple occasions on why she’s the best. From power dances to sexy dances, there’s nothing Minzy can’t groove to. All we need her to do now is to rejoin 2NE1. *sobs*
Infinite Hoya
This all-rounder has show beyond doubt that he isn’t one to mess with when it comes to dancing. Hoya’s ‘Hit The Stage’ performances has been so on point, even non-fans were converted.
Twice Momo
Though Twice isn’t even a year old yet, Momo has established her status as a dancing machine in the K-pop industry. She can be fierce, cute and sexy all the same time. We’re definitely looking forward to more from this versatile dancer! Can you spot her in the video above?
BAP Zelo
Zelo has choreographed his group’s own MVs and that says something, not a lot of idols got that to boast about.
TVXQ Yunho
Yunho is the pioneer of K-pop idol dancers and there’s no doubt that he’s still on top of his game. Remember the Gorilla dance for ‘Catch Me’? Not many can deliver such powerful moves while looking so good at the same time.
Special mention: Blackpink Lisa
BLACKPINK just debuted a month ago but they’re making waves in every way possible. When their dance practice video was revealed, Lisa (or the blonde one) caught the attention of the viewers with her moves and that status was further cemented when BLACKPINK debuted on music show Inkigayo. It’s a sign that she’s one to look out for when YG Entertainment uploaded this video of her when she was a trainee 4 years ago.
