When it comes to K-pop, choreography and dance has a big part of any new song drop. Usually, cover groups, dancers in general or even just fans like to try to be first in releasing their own cover of their faves’ new release of music. Thanks to social media, it doesn’t take long before any new trend goes viral. The power of hashtags on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter like to take the lead.

To kick off 2019, rookie group ATEEZ has released their second album Treasure EP.2: Zero to one. ATEEZ has started a new dance challenge, which you can find on their official Instagram called the ‘Say My Name Dance Challenge’!
