On TikTok, IVE Liz went viral among K-pop enthusiasts after her videos related to the popular "Water" challenge dominated the platform.

IVE Liz Goes Viral for Fan-Edited 'Water' Challenge: 'She would own the trend...'

Recently, there has been a trend among K-pop artists, wherein they create a dance challenge that can be followed by fans and viewers to promote their songs further.

Usually, these are released by the original artist, but there are some dance challenges that became trending unintentionally.

Among them was the South African artist Tyla's "Water" challenge, which took the interest of global fans but became more popular in the K-pop scene thanks to IVE Liz!

As a short background, the challenge was launched by Tyla herself, where she was seen performing a dance called Bacardi, a South African routine that combines belly dancing and twerking.

The dance trend immediately spread among music fans and users of the short-form video-sharing platform, and even artists tried to achieve the challenge.

While a lot had tried it, only a few were actually praised by internet users, as it is indeed a complicated dance that requires a movement that should be as smooth and flowy as water, yet the twerking should be as bouncy as the waves are.

Some stars are criticized by viewers and made fun of for "throwing bones," rather than showing off their voluminous bodies and backs.

Recently, the dance challenge has also reached the K-pop industry, with Latrice and aespa NingNing trying it out. However, there is a K-pop star who has been earning huge attention for it, and it is none other than IVE Liz!

While Liz has yet to do the dance challenge, a fan-edited video of her has been posted as her entry for the trend and in a snap, she became a hot topic for it!
