Dancer Kani's Viral 'Smooth Smooth' Challenge Captivates Japan
On the 20th, Kani posted a video on her Instagram Story, accompanied by emoticons of emotion and hearts.
The video shows around 60 students in a classroom, seemingly in Japan, participating in Kani's 'Smooth Smooth' challenge. Kani expressed her delight at the challenge, once banned during Korea's college entrance exam season, spreading across the sea to Japan.
Kani also collaborated with Paco, a well-known vendor at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, for the challenge, expressing her surprise with "This is happening." Paco is a Senegalese vendor who sells keychains and takes souvenir photos in fluent Korean around the Trocadéro and Champ de Mars areas in Paris.
Meanwhile, Kani, known as a close dancer to SHINee's Key, gained recognition after appearing on the MBC variety show 'I Live Alone.' Recently, she gained further attention through her web variety show, where she rhythmically repeated words like "smooth smooth" and "flat flat" during a Korean language class. The catchy tune became a 'banned song' during exams and was turned into a short-form video.
