Have Fun Burning Fat! A Roundup of Popular Korean Diet Dance Videos (1–10)
15 minute Diet Dance WorkoutSunny Funny Fitness
Sunny Funny Fitness’s “15 Minute Diet Dance Workout” is perfect for anyone who wants a solid 15-minute fat-burning session! It uses BTS’s hit song “DOPE,” so K-pop fans can have fun while they dance.
It features lots of moves commonly seen in K-pop choreography, like jumping with your hands clasped behind your back and stepping while opening your arms parallel to the floor.
Fifteen minutes can be tough if you’re not used to it, so try starting with a shorter routine first!
Diet Dance | BLACKPINK – Kill This LoveSunny Funny Fitness
Sunny is an instructor of Pilates and Zumba who also teaches dance sport at a university, and her YouTube channel is called ‘Sunny Funny Fitness.’ Her video using BLACKPINK’s ‘KILL THIS LOVE’ is designed so beginners can enjoy fitness through dance.
The choreography isn’t too intense and includes many slower moves, making it easy for those new to dance to try with confidence.
It’s also recommended for K-pop lovers!
BOMBASTIC DANCEDANCEJOA
The official channel of DANCEJOA ACADEMY, a Korean dance school founded in 2005, features a routine set to “Bomba Radio Edit” by Jesse Matador, a singer from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The track blends African sounds with European dance beats, so the choreography is passionate and highly danceable.
It includes in-place steps and jumps, making it fairly high in intensity—great for fitness.
If you’re about to start dieting, give it a try at your own pace!
Aerobics to lose 10 kg in 3 weeks펍다이어트
Aerobics, along with yoga and Pilates, is especially popular among women.
Developed in the 1980s, this exercise is aerobic, meaning you move your body over time while taking in plenty of oxygen.
Among them, Pub Diet’s “Lose 10 kg in 3 Weeks Aerobics” on YouTube is a top recommendation because you can do an aerobics session in about 10 minutes! This exercise—spreading your arms to the sides and bending your knees firmly while moving your body left and right—uses quite a bit of stamina.
Be sure to stay hydrated and take care not to overexert yourself.
Dance to Lose 10 kg in 2 Weeks | HandClap by Fitz and the TantrumsJosh & Bamui
Josh & Bamui’s “Lose 10 kg in 2 Weeks Dance” is one of the most iconic Hand Clap videos.
The dance uses the catchy song HandClap by Fitz and the Tantrums, an indie pop band from the United States.
The bouncy up-down and side-to-side moves in time with the clapping are perfect for anyone who wants to focus on burning fat.
It’s very tiring even in a short time, so try it at an intensity that’s comfortable for you!
New Jeans – HypeBoy DIET DANCE흥둥이
NewJeans is a popular five-member girl group.
You won’t want to miss the dance using “Hype Boy,” a track from their 2022 album “New Jeans”! The song’s intro isn’t too intense, which makes it great for warming up.
Then, once the vocals start, the moves get more vigorous, and later you can cool down again during the intro phrase that comes back.
If you’re not a fan of nonstop high-intensity exercise, this dance might be something you can stick with!
[Dance Workout] Tones and I – Dance MonkeyMYLEE DANCE
![[Dance Workout] Tones and I - Dance MonkeyMYLEE DANCE](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/r-7Z1Tg_Sbw/sddefault.jpg)
For waist-focused fitness, I especially recommend a workout by dancer MYLEE DANCE that uses Dance Monkey’s track “Tones and I.” “Tones and I” is a huge hit that topped the UK charts for 11 consecutive weeks.
The movements aren’t intense, but the hip actions that fully engage your abs and obliques are perfect for slimming the midsection, and it turns into a full-body workout that makes you break a gentle sweat.
The video also displays a countdown so you can see how many seconds are left, which makes it feel doable to push through to the end.
Give it a try!
Dance to lose 10 kilos in 2 weeks | Billie Eilish – Bad GuyJosh & Bamui
Josh & Bamui, whose dance video using Fitz and the Tantrums’ “HandClap” created a buzz, are also drawing attention for their diet dance set to Billie Eilish’s song “bad guy.” Moving your body to the track’s repetitive bassline and claps is sure to naturally ramp up your energy.
And if you customize the signature title-calling move with your favorite pose, it will get even more exciting!
Miracle Chumba DanceNever Stop
The “Miracle Chumba Dance,” which you can keep up with at a just-right length of about 10 minutes a day, is perfect for anyone who wants to diet in a planned way! Compared to the Hand Clap Dance, the moves are more dynamic, so you can really push yourself in a short amount of time—that’s the beauty of this routine.
It may look tough at first glance, but there are lots of repetitive motions, so once you get used to it, it shouldn’t be a problem.
And if you shout “Fooo!” loudly while dancing like in the sample video, it’s a great stress reliever too—two birds with one stone.
Absolutely! Slimming Dance DietThankyou BUBU
How about trying Thankyou BUBU—the “Tank Couple”’s full-fledged diet dance, complete with warm-ups and cool-downs? The explanations are in Korean, but there are solid Japanese subtitles, so no worries.
One of the best parts is targeted fat burning—like trimming your arms with triceps extensions while stepping.
If there are areas you’re concerned about, why not give this diet dance a try?
