Traditionally, whenever commemorating Halloween, people often do activities such as trick-or-treating, organizing and attending costume parties, visiting haunted locations, and watching horror-themed films. Although this tradition was popularized in the West, Asians are also taking part in the observance of this event.
In the K-pop world, K-idols commemorate Halloween by launching entertainment-based parties, while most of the time, idols transform into their fans' favorite characters. Costumes often range from vampires, witches, Disney and anime characters, and famous villains from movies like Valak, Pennywise, Jigsaw, and Joker.
Interestingly, while wearing their promising Halloween costumes, K-idols shoot a choreography dance practice as a remembrance of commemorating Halloween.
With this gesture, K-pop idols are hitting two birds with one stone - stealing their fans' hearts with the performance and leaving them in awe with their creative and expressive costumes.

On the other hand, Jungwoo slayed another female character by dressing up as Bella Cullen from Twilight. We did not have the chance to see Bella groove the dance floor in the movie. Thus, what a surprise that Bella's version in Kwangya has whipped his hair with "Favorite's" steps.
