The K-pop dance relays are the show stoppers every fan waits for after artists release their new music. The concept is pretty simple and exciting at the same time. The idols line up in a single row and perform their choreographies. Each of the members dances till the music stops.
Not only are K-pop dance relays fun and entertaining, but they also showcase the different personalities of the artists. Idols sometimes invent their own moves rather than following the set format, which intrigues fans.
In light of this, let's look at the most viewed K-pop dance relays in the first half of 2022.
