FILO K-pop fans, get ready to release that super “ener-energy” in you as Youngjun Choi, the choreographer of K-pop powerhouses BTS and SEVENTEEN, is set to hold a dance workshop in the Philippines.
In collaboration with Enderun Colleges, Choi, dubbed the “Father of K-pop,” will conduct a two-day K-pop dance workshop on December 5 and 6 at the Enderun Basketball Court in McKinley Hill, Taguig.
Initially, the December 25 workshop was only meant for participants aged 15 to 21 years old, requiring them to bring valid school IDs.
However, the world-class undergraduate college relented and said on Wednesday that the dance classes will now be open to all ages “due to popular demand.”
Interested participants will have to pay P2,000 each and register through this link. Limited slots are available on a first-paid basis.
Enderun Colleges said the 90-minute workshop will conclude with a “professionally filmed dance” featuring the participants’ dancing prowess.

Among the iconic songs he choreographed were SEVENTEEN’s “Super,” BTS’ “I Need U,” Wanna One’s “Energetic,” and TWS’ “Plot Twist.”
Choi revealed in an interview that if he were to choose the hardest dance piece he ever created, it would be the high-powered choreography of SEVENTEEN’s “Super.”
