Niana Guerrero took on the “Smoke” dance challenge and left not only fans but also one of the track’s singers, South Korean rapper Lee Young-ji, in awe.
The 17th-year-old Filipino content creator showed through her TikTok page her version of the popular challenge, which was choreographed by South Korean dancer Bada Lee for the dance competition “Street Woman Fighter.”

Guerrero was then surprised after seeing Young-ji—who’s behind the song “Smoke” alongside Dynamicduo, in her comments section, saying, “GIRL, I LOVE YOU.”
“[OH MY GOSH]. HI,” a seemingly ecstatic Guerrero replied.
