Popular dance teacher and choreographer Bae Yoon Jung, who is known for her strict teaching and strong character during her time as a dance mentor for the "Produce" series, named four idols who were born to be dancers. Keep on reading to see who she chose!
Bae Yoon Jung recently appeared on the KBS2 variety show "Problem Child in House", appearing on the Tuesday, Jan. 19, airing of the show. During the show, she was asked to pick who is the best dancer in South Korea. To that, Bae Yoon Jung revealed she actually gets asked this a lot, but nowadays, almost everyone can dance. She mentioned Lee Hyori, who does not have the best dance technique but is able to change the atmosphere with her dance moves, proving that she is a cool dancer. Bae Yoon Jung praised Lee Hyori for her easy-going and attractive personality when she dances.
The MCs then asked Bae Yoon Jung to name three celebrities who were born to be dancers. She answered them honestly, saying, "There are four of them. IZ*ONE's Chaeyeon, Chung Ha, BLACKPINK's Lisa, and Red Velvet's Seulgi". She went on to say that there are many talented idols who are amazing dancers and that it is even harder to name an idol who cannot dance.
Chaeyeon is praised as IZ*ONE's main dancer. The IZ*ONE member has been dancing ever since she was a child and even appeared to compete on the show "K-Pop Star 3" with her sister Chaeryeong (from ITZY) when she was just 13-years-old. Though the duo was eliminated, they both signed with JYP Entertainment.
