Bubbly Dance Challenge Behind the Scenes of 'SODA SODA'

The Korean context

What happened

TWS rehearse and film “SODA SODA” dance challenges with artists including &TEAM’s Taki, LE SSERAFIM’s Kazuha, NiziU’s Nina, TXT’s Yeonjun and fromis_9’s Song Hayoung. The footage also shows the artists learning one another’s songs and negotiating small details such as hand poses, timing and endings.

More context

Why Koreans care

Hanjin asks Yeonjun for permission to call him 형 (hyeong, an older brother or older male addressed by a younger male). Yeonjun agrees and answers 동생 (dongsaeng, younger sibling or younger person), turning their exchange from standard senior-junior politeness into a more familiar way of addressing each other.

In the Korean comments

Three comments specifically single out Kyungmin’s challenge performances. One reads, in translation, “How does Lee Kyungmin go around destroying every challenge? He’s terrifying,” while another calls him “absurdly good” at dancing.

What the words mean

찢고 다니다 (jjitgo danida) literally means “to go around tearing things up.” In the comment about Kyungmin, it is casual, exaggerated praise meaning that he repeatedly crushes every dance challenge.
