K-POP 케이팝

With the popularity of K-pop (Korean pop music), fans dancing to its choreography has become popular on YouTube. People from all over the world come together to learn and perform the dances of their favorite K-pop groups. These “dance covers” often have dancers dress up to fit the theme and thrifting or making clothing is common for fans to do. Apart from sourcing the materials, creating the outfits can take a few hours to a few days.

“I usually do a thrift run every one or two months, so it’s usually at Goodwill or Plato’s Closet. Or, I can find a good deal on Depop.”

“I try not to buy anything because that’s just more stress on me to go look for stuff so I try to look at if I have it [the clothes] in my closet already. If not, I’m thrifting an outfit and then I have to do some chopping up on it.” rielAbadilla

“We don’t try to match it [the idols] exactly, but we will definitely take more inspo from it. It depends on what type of performance we’re doing.”
