NCT Members Dance To TWICE, Black Pink, And Red Velvet Hits On ‘Weekly Idol'
K-pop band NCT doesn't just sing. They have proven that they can dance well, too. The 18-member squad showed off their dancing skills to the turn of the hit songs from TWICE, Black Pink, Red Velvet, Momoland, and SHINee's Taemin.
In the recent episode of MBC's Weekly Idol, all of the 18 members of NCT participated in a cover dance battle and competed against one another in units. The band is currently divided into three units.
The NTC members were asked to show off their dance moves if they think they know the choreography to the track that is playing in the background. The hit songs of TWICE, Red Velvet, Black Pink, Momoland, and SHINee's Taemin were randomly played. Among the tracks played were Taemin's "Move," Red Velvet's "Red Flavor," TWICE's "Cheer Up," BLACKPINK's "As If It's Your Last," and MOMOLAND's "BBoom BBoom."
Out of all the performers, it was Haechan who received the loudest applause from her bandmates and the MCs. He stepped up to dance to every single song and was eventually announced as the winner of the challenge. When asked about why he knows all the choreography of the tracks that were played, Haechan said he is always watching them. Watch the complete NTC dance-off here.
