The popular South Korean dance reality television show “shook the nation,” according to The Korea Herald. As the leader of the popular HOOK crew, Aiki led her group to a second-place finish.
Nearly four years since her star turn on SWF, Aiki has established herself as one of Korea’s most beloved TV and cultural personalities. She has a combined Instagram and TikTok following of more than 4.4 million. Her videos on each platform collect millions of views at a time and have inspired choreography for some of K-pop’s biggest names.
