Main Dancers EXO Kai, TWICE Momo Shock EXOLs & ONCEs With Unexpected Collabs

On March 18, EXO-Ls and ONCEs were caught off-guard by the collabs made by Kai of EXO and Momo of TWICE, who are both main dancers of their respective groups.

With TWICE and Kai's going alongside with their "Show! Music Core" promotions of "SET ME FREE" and "Rover" respectively, it didn't take long enough for an interaction to happen backstage.

Fans know how much artists love to engage with each other through short dance challenges. However, no one would've expected that two of the most talented main dancers of their time would both be dancing in one video, giving the community a collab they never thought they needed.

In the EXO's TikTok account, Kai released his "Rover" dance challenge with Momo, who undeniably slayed the choreography and synced with the world-class performer. For the video's caption, it wrote, "Dancing king & queen Rovers," which is an irrefutable fact!

To return the favor, Kai happily obliged to join Momo for a "SET ME FREE" dance challenge, where he showcased his slick dance moves on the spot! TWICE is known for their signature hand dance moves, and Kai nailed it with his own energy.

When the two dance challenges were uploaded, both idols trended instantly, considering they're two of the most talented dancers in K-pop.

Their videos' virality is understandable, since EXO's "World-Class Performer" and TWICE's "Dancing Mo-chine" are both in two separate videos, breeding an unforeseen duo who are both powerful enough to dominate the internet with dance challenges.

How Did EXOLs & ONCEs React To These?

As expected, both fandoms were ecstatic to see the two performing side-by-side. They also went wild with Kai and Momo's matching outfits. Apart from TikTok, the two dance challenges also blew up on YouTube.

 

In their "Rover" dance challenge, fans praised how Kai let Momo shine in front of the camera, to which the TWICE singer gave respect by performing amazingly. Likewise, Kai showed an enthusiastic performance on their "SET ME FREE" challenge.

Meanwhile, fans also pointed out how interactions like this one are highly encouraged in the K-pop industry. Others mentioned how badly they needed dance collabs from Momo and Kai in the future.

Fans commented:

"I love how they go all out to each other's songs not to overshadow each other but to show the respect they have for each other as dancers."

"Main dancer tingz."

"The way their outfits were color coordinated too! Now I need a stage collab with them."

"The way they danced felt like rover is Momo's song and set me free is Kai's."

"It's such a cute detail, like they're letting the other person shine."

"Just two main dancers slaying each other's choreo."
