EXO’s Xiumin and aespa’s Karina couldn’t help but join in the “Mini Miss U” dance challenge, which stemmed from an “It’s Showtime” segment featuring young pageant aspirants.
Videos of the K-pop idols dancing along to the segment’s theme song which contains the lyrics, “Hello madlang people, mabuhay! Mini Miss U,” which were uploaded on the Twitter page of ABS-CBN’s Star Music.
It can be noted that Xiumin and Karina’s Filipino fans taught the steps to the singers at a video call, before having a chance to do it themselves.
“Going global na ang pagka-LSS (The song’s last song syndrome is going global)! Xiumin of K-Pop boy group @weareoneEXO did the Mini Miss U challenge by our cutieful baby girl #Imogen! [emoji] Thank you to @pebicart on TikTok for this,” their tweet read.
