The power of technology allows Korean pop idols to see and learn new choreography so that the audience can be kept entertained.

Artists like to be unique, to do things that make them stand out from other groups. The list can be long or short on ways stars differentiate themselves amongst the other groups; it can be by having a unique voice, dance choreography, having charisma, and personality; which the audience can tell just looking at the person that he/she is sociable. This is what entertainment is, to introduce something to the industry that another group has not done yet.

Also, if one idea was done in the past, though got forgotten, K-Pop idols can bring it back to our generation and see if the audience will like it or not. If people are not impressed or fascinated, we tune-out. K-Pop idols think about how to wow the audience each time they make their comeback or debut. Also, how they can get recognized and gain fans. First impressions is important when artists go on stage. Especially, if it is their debut. So, this being all said, here are two new dance moves (old and new); that K-Pop idols are bringing to the Korean Pop industry.

The Return of Trot Dancing

Trot dancing, if you are not familiar with its origin, is connected to an older form of pop music. Trot music originally started in Japan during the late 19th century; with the genre known as enka. The Korean people were fascinated with this type of music and included lyrics of their own during that period. After a while, with the added Korean flare; trot was born.

After this, the Korean people decided to include upbeat tempo and repetitive choreography to it. Catchy, while being fun and energetic, is how Korean people describe trot dancing.

During the past years when Korean trot was just getting known, the type of music genre in which it landed on varied. Trot music can go anywhere on the music genre, slow and fast tempo, jazz to R&B; trot music is unique.

The known trot idols in the past who wants to bring it back to the generation of today are Tae Jin Ah, Seol Woon Do, Shim Shin, and Kim Sung Soo.

Twerking; Allowed or Not Allowed and Where are Boundaries Set

There is a new dance move that the idols are trying to make known in South Korea. Twerking, which has different ways of calling it as people explain it like rear or hip shaking, might not be tolerated due to the move being provocative. The broadcast stations will definitely look at the choreography before airing it around South Korea because twerking is considered too sexy for the public's eye.
