OH MY GIRL’s “Dolphin” became a long-running hit despite being just an album track, thanks to its popularity as background music on TikTok.
The “splash dance,” where you move your hands like waves, also got everyone hyped.
No matter how many times you hear it, the repeating hook in the chorus is seriously catchy.
It’s an adorable song about the butterflies you get when you unexpectedly run into your crush on a day you weren’t prepared.
It perfectly balances OMG’s cuteness and playfulness, while packing in the approachable charm that only a group can deliver.

The song that’s going viral in TikTok dance videos is “WA DA DA.” It’s also getting attention because various Japanese artists are posting their own dance covers.
The performers are the girl group Kep1er, formed through an audition show that drew a lot of attention in Japan as well.
“WA DA DA” features a unique rhythm and lyrics that really stick in your head.
By the way, the title “WA DA DA” is said to be a Korean onomatopoeia that represents the sound of footsteps.

The choreography is relatively easy to imitate, so give it a try.
There are also videos that break down the moves, so it might be helpful to use those as references.
