One of their most popular songs ASAP has a pleasing rocking move that guides viewers with moves that flow into each other.
The energy in this bubblegum pop hit guides listeners along. The song pulls the beat taut with each verse until it snaps during the chorus. The beat then explodes into cheerful confetti as the members easily hit each clean dance move.
This pulling then breaking of the beat appears in much of STAYC’s signature music like in their future bass TikTok hit Stereotype and their unique choreography-heavy song Run2U. You’re sure to enjoy the switch-ups and fun-filled tunes of STAYC.

But it hasn’t always been an easy ride for (G)I-dle. In fact, (G)I-dle originally had a sixth member named Soojin. Unfortunately, Soojin left the band in 2021 and the group has maintained operation as a five member girl group ever since.

Momoland has had a lot of members in its group. At one point, it was nine girls in the group. Momoland eventually trimmed down to seven members. Then Momoland shrunk down to just six members.
This brightly colored six-member group cannot be beaten with their famous electro swing. Their songs Baam and Bboom Bboom are total dance hits as they get you on your feet to dance. They have catchy beats plus tons of fun dance moves that get you hopping around. The members Ahin, Hyebin, Jane, JooE, Nancy, and Nayun are also overflowing with energy in every single performance.
The group’s famous performance of Bboom Bboom on the South Korean broadcast M Countdown has over 31 million views. The most viewed portion of the video is the group’s chorus dance where the girls sway from side to side. Their dances are simple and fun!
With how fun these girls are, listening to their music is a must. They have tons of energy and fun to share with you, so go take a listen!
Unfortunately for Momoland, the group disbanded in early 2023 and just barely fell short of staying active for an entire seven years.

With many groups forcing rappers into their lineup to fit with trends, GFriend has stayed true to their roots as six incredible vocalists and intricate dancers.
Their vocals shine in the songs Rough, Apple, and their iconic retro song Mago. Rough has become a K-pop classic that won best female dance performance at multiple end-of-the-year award shows.
The song also became one of the most downloaded songs in South Korean music history, earning GFriend recognition for their success. Then, Apple is a regal and elegant song sure to make anyone feel like royalty. Finally, Mago is airy-beautiful retro with a colorful rainbow and sparkles reminiscent of disco songs.
