In this article, we’ll be looking at the best of the best dance covers of boy group songs by female K-Pop idols and groups that fans have still not gotten over—and neither have we.
1. LOONA - ‘Cherry Bomb’
It’s completely safe to say that when LOONA dropped their dance cover of this NCT 127 hit song, Orbits and every other K-Pop fan in the know went wild. The members oozed charisma, and their reenactment of the original choreography was just as energetic as their sunbae’s. It’s known that LOONA are talented in numerous ways, but this cover took their talent to a whole new level.
2. Lee ChaeYeon – ‘Criminal’
ChaeYeon made a name for herself as a talented dancer long before her IZ*ONE and solo career days. As one of the best female dancers of 3rd generation K-Pop, of course, fans expect a lot, and she always delivers. Her dance cover of ‘Criminal’ in the “2020 KBS Song Festival” was so spectacular that even TaeMin himself acknowledged her talents. It’s not easy getting the original ‘Criminal’ dancer to doff his hat for an idol, but ChaeYeon’s incredible skills spoke for itself.
