One of the key points to the choreography for “Super Shy” is the use of waacking, which is a dance style that originated in gay clubs in Los Angeles during the 1970s.

Waacking involves fast, rhythmic arm movements, poses, and isolations, with a focus on creating lines and shapes.

Hanni explained that for the choreography, the group keeps their arms moving for three minutes.

She shared that the NewJeans members had five hours of training in the waacking dance form in preparation for their “Super Shy” choreography.

NewJeans is known for their high-energy and impressively synchronized performances, and Hanni revealed she worked hard to learn the dance during their first lesson.

She only hilariously realized once she went to take a shower that night that she could no longer raise her arms as a result.
