South African singer-songwriter Tyla‘s song “Water” has gone viral on TikTok with over 1.5M shares at the time of writing.
Debut TV performance of Water
Its virality was due to not just the catchy song but its dance challenge, which included sensual choreography of rhythmically shaking one’s backside, created by choreographer Litchi. While most K-Pop idols today catch onto Western dance trends, few idols have attempted the “Water” challenge due to the “clean” idol image. JUST B‘s Geonu and Bain and Aespa‘s Karina and Ningning teased joining the “Water” challenge by doing a humorous “censored version.”

Now, one of aespa’s labelmates has joined the “Water” challenge, sticking to the iconic choreography.
