Before she appeared on the show, the talented 28-year-old already had an impressive résumé as one of K-Pop’s top choreographers.

Bada Lee has choreographed for some of K-Pop’s most popular songs over the past four years and recently opened up to Chaeyeon about what she considers her “biggest hit” and the unexpected downside that came with it.

Over the years, Bada Lee has contributed to and created numerous iconic choreographies, including EXO Kai‘s “Peaches” and “Rover,” SHINee Taemin‘s “Guilty,” WayV Ten‘s “Birthday,” aespa‘s “Illusion,” “Savage,” “Girls,” and many more.

Out of the dances she’s created, Bada Lee confessed to Chaeyeon that she considers aespa’s “Next Level” her “biggest hit” because she felt it was what made people “recognize [her] as a choreographer.

Chaeyeon hilariously noted that the signature point of the choreography had a downside, sharing that many people who attempted the dance felt it was painful, and Bada Lee agreed it required some flexibility.
