She’s close with Red Velvet, especially Seulgi, with whom she shares a name. They’re often referred to as 2Seul!
Seulki worked with Red Velvet during their La Rouge tour and also as a dancer for Irene & Seulgi’s “Monster” and “Naughty” performances. She also worked with the group again for their 2023 concert R to V.
Seulki also danced with BoA for the music video and live stages of “Better!”
She also worked with SHINee‘s Jonghyun for his live concerts and was one of the dancers in Taemin‘s single “MOVE.”
She also often works with Jessi, who was under the same label as HyunA and DAWN. Seulki danced with Jessi for both “Who Dat B” and “NUNU NANA!”
Seulki worked with HyunA for her single, “I’m Not Cool” which was released in January 2021, and, of course, on “Ping Pong!”
Seulki started dancing when she was just 3 or 4 years old! She loved following along with traditional dance she would see on TV, and began learning jazz and modern dance in high school. Following the recommendation of her college senior, Seulki joined the B-Boy crew T.I.P. and considered this as the start of her dance career.
In one of her YouTube videos, Seulki shared her thoughts about being a dancer. She loves the supporting position, helping the leader, rather than being the leader. This brings her joy and she hopes that people see her as an impressive dancer and role model!
