(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'.

(Video) Fans Request A Mimifly & DOLLA Collaboration Following Viral 'MWA!' Challenge
Malaysian girl group DOLLA's latest single, 'MWA!', has not only gone viral locally but has also been making waves in Brazil, thanks to its Brazilian funk-inspired sound. The group recently released the official dance practice video, and fans have been enthusiastically taking part in the 'MWA!' dance challenge on social media. Another local artist known for going viral is rapper-singer Mimifly, who has received overwhelmingly positive feedback for incorporating sign language into the choreography of her songs 'Angkat' and 'Serumpun'. It was only a matter of time before DOLLA and Mimifly met up and collaborated to break the internet. Here's what happened: Yesterday (Sunday, 18th May), DOLLA shared a video on their social media pages of themselves doing the 'MWA!' dance challenge, with none other than Mimifly. The two acts met backstage at the recent 'MeleTOP TVS' concert, held at the Miri Indoor Stadium in Sarawak. As a dancer herself, the rapper had no trouble picking up the choreography and performed the challenge effortlessly alongside the idol group. 'One with queen @mimiflyyy 💋,' the performers captioned the video. The video has since gone viral across multiple social media platforms, with fans praising both artists. Many commented on how Mimi carries a distinctive aura that makes her stand out, while others have been manifesting a collaboration with DOLLA, whether on a brand-new track or, at the very least, a remix of 'MWA!'. Some also suggested that Mimifly should become the new fourth member of the popular group. We couldn't agree more that a collaboration between Mimifly and DOLLA has all the makings of a chart-topper. Here's hoping the day comes when these powerhouse artists team up on a track. Apart from the 'Angkat' singer, the girl group also did the dance challenge with a few other artists, including local singer Elizabeth Tan and Korean DJ, DJ SODA.
