At the time, her choreography of Dynamicduo & Lee Young Ji's song dominated among other dancers due to its accurate and precise dance steps, with the key movement of moving the hands like "lighting a flame" and making "smoking" gestures.
Considering the popularity of the show, the challenge immediately spread not only among viewers but among K-pop artists as well.
Those who shone best for fans include BTS V and Jungkook, IVE An Yujin, NCT Taeyong, Jay Park, Lee Young Ji, Kang Daniel, ITZY Ryujin and Yeji, and many more.
But what about Bada's personal picks?
During the interview, the dancer then selected the most impressive artists among those who participated in the challenge and replied:
"It's hard to pick just one, but I liked Rain and Taeyang's the best."
Indeed, not only Bada thinks they deserve to be in the top 2 but even K-pop fans. When the legendary Rain posted his entry in September, it amassed over 1.2 million views on TikTok, and a lot praised his undying dancing skills.
"Dance Machine" Taeyang who performed the challenge with BEBE Bada and Jam Republic Kirsten in October also received overwhelming rave reviews, being able to match the power and energy of the two dancers like a pro.
