Catchy music, heart-touching lyrics, drama, fashion and outstanding dance choreography — these unfailingly entertaining aspects together make the Korean pop (K-pop) music traverse borders, reaching billions across the globe. The thumb rule for any K-pop idol is that they cannot be good at singing alone; they need to be equally good performers. Dancers and die-hard fans Dr N Uditi Rao and data analyst Shibani Parui’s new community, Purple Expressions, aims to give people a taste of performing like an idol at their one-off dancing workshops. One such workshop will be held at an Andheri studio in the coming weekend.
“Shibani and I first met at Kathak class. As we enter the sixth year of learning the traditional dance form, I remember talking to her when we had started out and being astonished by finding someone who is as big a K-drama/K-pop fan, as me” Rao recalled. For her, K-drama paved the path for K-pop, while for Parui, it was the other way around. “I discovered BTS during the lockdown,” she shared.
