Idol Reactions To Kep1er Xiaoting’s Viral Performance Prove She Was The Main Event At 2022 ISAC

Kep1er‘s Xiaoting went viral for her performance in the ‘sports dance’ category at this year’s Idol Star Athletic Championship (ISAC), and deservedly so! She had all eyes on her as she showed off her world-class skills, wowing all the idols in the audience.

Xiaoting cemented her title as the new ‘Ballroom Queen’ of K-Pop, taking first place ahead of Billlie‘s Tsuki, who came in a close second place. As Xiaoting is a former professional ballroom dancer, however, it was practically inevitable that she would win first place!

For people that don’t know her Shen Xiaoting from Kep1er has been doing dance sports for 9 years. Has 50+ awards including national and international ones with multiple championships, ranked 6 globally. In short she’s a legend and a professional ballroom dancer https://t.co/kDVTVEUQQj pic.twitter.com/6EIRW04lIM
