From Taeyang To Taemin: All The K-pop Acts ALLDAY PROJECT's Bailey Sok Has Choreographed For
No chart-topping K-pop hit is complete without its accompanying dance moves, but did you know that some of the genre's biggest songs feature choreography by a 21-year-old K-pop rookie? Even before her debut with ALLDAY PROJECT (올데이프로젝트), Korean-American idol Bailey Sok (베일리 석) had already made a name for herself as a skilled dancer and accomplished choreographer. Bailey started dancing at the age of two and was already performing on stage and in competitions by ten. Her growth as a dancer led to collaborations with renowned artists, including Janet Jackson and Jason Derulo. In celebration of her long-awaited debut, let's take a look at all the K-pop tracks that Bailey had a hand in choreographing. Taeyang (BIGBANG)- 'Vibe' & 'Shoong' Two of Bailey's most renowned choreographies were for BIGBANG member Taeyang – 'Vibe' and 'Shoong'. She even got to dance with the K-pop legend when they did the dance challenges for the two tracks. aespa – 'Savage', 'Illusion' & 'Spicy' When it comes to iconic and memorable K-pop choreographies, girl group aespa comes to mind. Bailey had a hand in creating the dance for three of the group's tracks, including the viral hits 'Savage' and 'Spicy'. Taemin (SHINee) – 'Idea' Creating a dance routine for K-pop's 'dancing king' Taemin is seen as an honour for any dancer. Bailey got to work with the SHINee member on his track 'Idea', which was the title track from his album 'Never Gonna Dance Again Act 2'. SHINee – 'Don't Call Me' Speaking of SHINee, Bailey also worked with the group on their highly anticipated comeback track 'Don't Call Me'. The song was also nominated for 'Best Dance Performance – Male Group' at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Red Velvet – 'Psycho' 'Psycho' remains one of Red Velvet's best-selling and recognisable tracks, and Bailey had the opportunity to choreograph for the chart-topping track. More impressively, she did so when she was only 15 years old! Kai (EXO) – 'Peaches' Bailey also had a hand in creating the choreography for Kai's hit song, 'Peaches', which was highly praised for its dance. Fun fact: the choreography also featured the work of Bailey's fellow KINJAZ crew member, Anthony Lee Lisa (BLACKPINK) – 'Money' While Bailey never created the original choreography for 'Money', she did work with Lisa for a new dance break for the track. The Thai singer debuted the new dance break during BLACKPINK's set at BST Hyde Park 2023 in London. Jeon Somi – 'Gold Gold Gold' Besides Taeyang, Bailey also got to choreograph for another THEBLACKLABEL artist, Jeon Somi. The 21-year-old did the choreography for her track, 'Gold Gold Gold', which was a B-side track from her album 'Game Plan'. MEOVV – 'Meow' & 'Body' Before making her debut in ALLDAY PROJECT, Bailey was part of the trainee lineup for her THEBLACKLABEL labelmates, MEOVV. While the dancer never got to debut in the girl group, she choreographed two tracks for them, including their debut track, 'Meow'. ALLDAY PROJECT – 'Famous' Given her extensive history in choreographing for K-pop acts, it's no surprise that Bailey also choreographed for her group's debut track, 'Famous'. The hand gestures during the chorus, in particular, went viral for their intricacy. Bonus: While Bailey never choreographed for Jackson Wang, she famously made an appearance in his 'Cruel' music video.
