(Video) LYKN's Lego Goes Viral With 'MWA!' Dance Challenge; Earns Praise From DOLLA's Angel
Malaysian girl group DOLLA has been making serious waves with their latest comeback single 'MWA!'. The track went viral in Brazil, thanks to its Brazilian funk-inspired sound, and the members have since collaborated with several stars, including Mimifly, DJ SODA, and Elizabeth Tan, for the 'MWA!' dance challenge. Fans and content creators have also joined the trend since the music video's release, sharing their dance covers on social media. However, one video in particular, posted by a member of a popular Thai boy group, has caught DOLLA's attention. Here's the full story: Over the weekend, Thai singer Lego Rapeepong — or simply Lego (เลโก้) — a member of the boy group LYKN, posted a video of himself performing a dance cover of DOLLA's 'MWA!' on his TikTok channel. The artist appeared to be in a backstage restroom at the recent LOL Fanfest 2025 concert. Known for his talent as a performer and dancer, the idol executed the challenge flawlessly, looking androgynously stunning in his stage outfit. The video has since gone viral, amassing over 2 million views on TikTok, and has even earned praise from a DOLLA member. '😍😍😍💋 THANK YOU NAAAA~~~,' commented Angel under the post. Much like the previous collaboration with Mimifly, fans of both LYKN and DOLLA flooded the comments section, urging Lego to collaborate with DOLLA on a song. Or at the very least, meet up to do the 'MWA!' challenge together. This isn't the first time Lego has gone viral for his rendition of a popular track. The 19-year-old broke the internet last year with his cover performance of 'Dhoom Dhoom', originally by Thai artist Tata Young, which also serves as the theme song for the 2004 Hindi-language film 'Dhoom'. Watch him doing DOLLA's 'MWA!' challenge below: Lego's viral 'Dhoom' performance during his solo stage at LYKN's concert: Source: TikTok
