by K-Pop thrives on its unique performance quotient, among many other things. From aspiring artists to trainees, newly debuted idols, and experienced ones, the stage is sacred. Their hard work and devotion bear fruit in the background. It is but typical for artists, especially K-Pop groups, to have their pre-performance rituals. Usually, these come in the form of pre-performance cheers.
Red Velvet
Red Velvet’s waiting cheer can be romanized as “Red Velvet Heung eul doduja!” which roughly translates to “Red Velvet, let’s have fun together!” Not only does this hype the girls up, but it also prefaces a fun time for them as well as the fans.
LOONA
LOONA’s group cheer is “also Gaja!” which translates to “let’s go LOONA LOONA!” It alludes to an abbreviation of their name and is adorable to listen to.
IZ*ONE
IZONE’s cheer is sweet, simple, and straight to the point. “Uriga Enugu? I-I-IZONE!” which means, “Who are we? I-I-IZ*ONE!” What’s even more adorable is they say it in various languages, as seen in the video above.
TWICE
TWICE has excellence running in its veins. Their pre-performance cheer is “TWICE! TWICE! Jalhaja!” which means, “TWICE! TWICE! Let’s do well!” What follows is usually always their best performance ever, and it keeps getting better.
ITZY
TWICE’s hoobae group ITZY has an equally adorable chant. “ITZY! MIDZY! Najla!” means “ITZY! MIDZY! Let’s fly!” The group sure lives up to its cheer’s reputation.
