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.

TWICE is a globally popular girl group.

Their recent world tour is still fresh in our memories.

The lead single from their 11th album is “Talk that Talk.” In the song, there’s choreography where they use their hands to spell out the word LOVE to match the lyrics.

Videos recreating that part have gone viral on TikTok.

The track also stands out for its catchy melody and strong vocals.

I hope you’ll give it a listen and experience how great it is.

SEVENTEEN, whose recent dome tour in Japan is still fresh in our memories, have a track I highly recommend for enjoying the vocal skills of all 13 members: “MANSAE.” You’ve probably seen this song a lot in TikTok dance videos.

In particular, videos that recreate the chorus—featuring the memorable side steps—have gone viral.

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.
