Those facial expressions and hard hitting moves?! We’re sold! When you’re that talented, Lee Han Gyul proves it is possible to be this fiery and skillful in just 30 seconds.

2. CLC Seungyeon

Let’s be honest, Seungyeon is easily one of the best idol dancers out there and this cover is another proof of her skills! It’s amazing to see her being so laid-back yet executing all the right moves. Best believe Seungyeon never disappoints when it comes to dancing!

3. Choi Ye Na

We love how Yena incorporated her own attitude for this challenge, giving it an appealing touch to it! Small details like these is what makes a dance more enticing and we felt Yena pulled it off well

♬ Hey Mama (feat. Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha & Afrojack) [Extended] – David Guetta

Like a true main dancer, it is no surprise just how fluid yet precise his body control and movements are. We love how Hwanwoong executed the dance sharply while adding his own groove to the routine! (Fun fact: Did you know that Hwanwoong was the top student (dance practical) in School of Performing Arts for three consecutive years? Amazing!)

7. PURPLE KISS Dosie

Aside from how adorable she looks in this video, we love the relaxing vibes Dosie presented for this challenge. Despite just having fun, she still delivered the key points of the dance with just the right amount of strength and power!

What an honour to do the challenge with the queen NO:ZE herself! For fans of TO1 and MNET Road to Kingdom, many would know just how dynamic of a dancer Kyungho is. His ability to feel the music shows in his grooves and versatility as a dancer.

9. WEi Kim Dong Han and Kim Yo Han

Their confidence while carrying out the challenge shone through resulting in an energetic cover of the dance! With just how equally impactful and agile their movements are, Dong Han and Yohan are certainly not here to play around.

With a touch of playfulness, Nana presented a slightly different feel to the challenge which we thought was unique and cheeky and a cover we truly enjoyed!
