Contrary to popular belief, the dancers in the video were not all in drag. They are actually members of House of Love, a kiki house.
‘Kiki’ is a term which started in ballroom culture and has recently been brought back to slang by the LGBTQIA+ community, is loosely defined as a gathering of friends for the purpose of gossiping and chit-chat, and later made more famous in the 2012 song “Let’s Have a Kiki” by the Scissor Sisters.

As houses are “families,” its mother is dancer and choreographer Love Ran (also known as Kim Ran), who also choreographed Chung Ha‘s “I’m Ready” and “Stay Tonight.”
The MAMAMOO members have long been supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community, from including drag queens Nana Kim and BAMBI from Neon Milk in their “HIP” music video to publicly showing support of Rainbow Moomoos, the first queer Korean fandom community. Read more below.
