Singer BAEKHO gathers many people in front of the elevator.
BAEKHO creates a challenge craze with his digital single “ELEVATOR” released on the 31st of last month. “Elevator” is an exciting dance song in the new jack swing genre, a remake of Park Jin Young’s song released in 1995.
The addictive chorus that cannot be forgotten once heard and the stylish and easy-to-follow choreography spread the “Elevator” challenge to many music fans. The homage to the original song, the groovy performance that uses the trends and the right choreography that can be enjoyed by many people are well received.
BAEKHO has also gained attention from other artists such as Seventeen’s Hoshi and Dino, Fromis_9’s Lee Saerom and Park Jiwon, Bumzu, Enhyphen’s Jungwon, Vanner’s Gon, Day6’s Young K, StayC’s Sieun, H1’s Whiseo -key, Lee Chanwon, Yerin and Jeon So-mi. Hong Youngjoo, the choreographer of the original “Elevator,” also participated in the challenge to add meaning.
In particular, the “Elevator” challenge is spreading as a trend not only among singers but also among men and women of all ages, leading the entire nation to the elevator. Most of the challenge videos that the public has participated in take advantage of the conceptual atmosphere of the song with a background inside and outside the elevator. Analysts say that each person present in a friendly place called an elevator provides “watching pleasure” across generations through arousing gestures.
Along with the popularity of the challenge, “Elevator” is also positioned in foreign rankings, demonstrating its popularity. Fifteen days after the song’s release, it showed unusual signs of popularity, ranking second on the iTunes “Top Song Chart” in the Dominican Republic, South America, and its performance is expected in the future.
BAEKHO is active by appearing in various entertainment programs and popular content on YouTube.
