K-Pop Idols Are Dancing To A Young Filipina's Viral TikTok Choreo

Did you know that the TikTok dance that’s been making the rounds of your FYP done by SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi and Vernon, RIIZE’s Shotaro, and more was made by a Filipina?

“That’s a drop-top coupe / Said you wanna drive it down real soon / I just wanna love you like I do…” Sound familiar? The catchy song by J. Tajor is making the rounds on TikTok as the soundtrack to a new dance trend going viral on the platform, pioneered by young Filipina student, dancer, and choreographer Rizelle Disono.

In the age of TikTok, practically anyone can find fame and virality by starting a trend. It’s one of the advantages of the platform: it can catapult talent into the stratosphere and someone into global recognition with just one fifteen-second video. “Since I rushed the dance choreography,” Disono shared. “I didn’t think [it] would go viral. I was shocked and surprised that major K-pop idols noticed it.”

The 23-year-old posted her TikTok in early November 2023, but the trend has been picking up as of late, particularly in South Korea, with idols, dancers, and TikTokers in general dancing along to the choreography. Even dancer and choreographer Bada Lee was caught practicing the dance. Below is a compilation of the idols posting their own entries dancing to Like I Do inspired by Disono.

SEVENTEEN

SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi and Vernon were two of the earliest idols along with TXT (who have since deleted their own video) to hop on Disono’s trend, which is a fun Pinoy connection given that they’re going to the Philippines themselves for their FOLLOW concert this weekend.

ZEROBASEONE

Rookie group ZB1’s Seok Matthew looks like he had some fun in his own cover, choosing to go solo and vibing along to the track. Fellow members Gyuvin and leader Hanbin followed not long after. Maybe Matthew taught them the moves!

&TEAM

Following their GENTO collaboration with SB19 at the Asia Artist Awards, &TEAM’s now done at least two Filipino-made dances in the last two months, with K, Yuma, and Taki dancing to Like I Do in their own practice studio.

RIIZE

RIIZE’s Shotaro even credited Disono in his caption, as he should. As RIIZE’s own song Love 119 is being claimed by Pinoys these days, this cover is another moment where Filipino and K-pop culture meet.

TREASURE

In club-like lighting, TREASURE’s Doyoung posted his own groovy entry to the trend.

WAYV

Putting their own fun, WayV twist to the choreography, WINWIN and Hendery joined in on the trend—in color-matching ensembles, too.

SF9

SF9’s main dancer Taeyang did a solo entry for the dance challenge, in a blue sweater with crocheted oranges that we desperately need.

JO1

Members of the Japanese boy band JO1, Takumi and Junki, also joined the trend in performance outfits. JO1 is a Produce 101 Japan group that debuted in 2020 with their track Protostar and found success with their single Infinity.

LIGHTSUM

LIGHTSUM member Juhyeon was effortlessly cool in her own Like I Do dance cover. The girl group debuted in 2021 with their single album Vanilla.

EPEX

EPEX member A-Min was all casual, all prep in his dance cover. The 8-member boy group also debuted in 2021 with title track Lock Down.

GHOST9

Shin and Jinwoo of boy group GHOST9 did a classic duo cover of the dance trend! The boy group recently came back with their ARCADE : O EP, their first comeback in over a year.

LUN8

The freshly-debuted members of LUN8—Chael, Takuma, Junwoo, and Ian—took to their hotel hallway to dance the choreography. LUN8 debuted last June 2023 with title tracks Voyager and Wild Heart.

ENHYPEN

ENHYPEN’s Jungwon, NIKI, and JAY were all so spectacularly cool in their entry.

BOYNEXTDOOR

Sungho and Jaehyun of BOYNEXTDOOR, debuted in 2023, danced in the snowy outdoors for their own cover of the dance.

CIX

CIX’s Bae Jinyoung put his own spin (literally) on the choreography!

MOONBYUL

Rapper, singer, and MAMAMOO member Moonbyul was joined by dance crew BEBE for their own cover.

STAYC

STAYC girls Sumin and Isa couldn’t wait to join the trend ASAP!

BILLLIE

Billlie’s Siyoon and Sheon were very much giving it-girls energy in their very colorful dance cover of Like I Do. Billlie is another 2021 baby, having debuted with Ring X Ring and recently coming back with Dang! (Hocus Pocus) last October 2023.
