The choreography of the song is in a whole new level and it proved that her skills is not a joke and her only opponent to beat is herself showing how she wanted to try new things in every comeback.

A dancing queen

Chung Ha became a successful solo artist when I.O.I (아이오아이) officially disbanded on January 31^st 2017. She is known as one of the best dancers in KPOP when she showed her incredible skills in dancing while auditioning in a 2016 reality show ‘Produce 101’ season 1 on Mnet. It all started when dancer trainer, Bae Yoon Jung, ask Chung Ha to dance in any song they’re going to play. Everyone is shocked when she flawlessly dances to ‘Hey Mrs. Carter’ by Beyonce.
