If there would be the best dance challenge in K-pop this year, we would love to nominate the VIVIZ MANIAC Challenge, specifically the hip choreo one. The trio for sure has been flooding the stan K-pop Twitter ever since the release of their latest mini-album, VERSUS. We can’t help but be amazed by how they pull off such choreography for their title track, MANIAC. So, in honor of this hip choreo, let’s try to discover who did it the best!
The Viral MANIAC Hip Challenge
Since last week, November 2, VIVIZ has been making rounds all over X (formerly Twitter) because of their steps in their track, MANIAC. Honestly, the intense hip movements got us dizzy and interested in how other stars would perfectly do this one. Before anything else, why don’t we check out the music video and see for ourselves how catchy the song is?
For K-pop stans who would want to learn the whole choreography, VIVIZ has already dropped the dance practice video, so suit yourself! Before you even reach the hip choreo, we swear you’ll get stuck with the beat and lyrics — the whole song’s a trap (but a great one!)
In total, there are three MANIAC Challenges from VIVIZ, so you can pick whatever you want to do. But, if you simply want to know how you can slay the hip choreo challenge, then you might want to check out their official TikTok for the members’ tutorial. Eunha, SinB, and Umji are effective TikTok dance tutors, so hurry up!

Who Will Be Crowned The Best VIVIZ MANIAC Challenge?
So, as you know, there are only a few dance challenges of VIVIZ with the hip choreo. Nonetheless, we will try our best to rank them, including the three of them, too. So, if you’re ready to move your hips to the beats of MANIAC, let’s get it on. We think it would be fair enough to separate these choreographers and dancers into K-pop idols, so here they are!
3) Mina Myoung
If you found out about SinB from Street Woman Fighter 2 DEEP N DAP’s performance, you would love this VIVIZ MANIAC Challenge video. Mina Myoung has been one of the first to film this hip challenge with SinB. Fun fact: a few years back, SinB and Mina had a Studio Choom duo performance to the song Sweet but Psycho!

2) Eoddae
Another crew is on our list, but this time, from Street Man Fighter. 어때 come second to the top because have you seen their synchronization?! It looks like they are a whole group, and really, they slayed the choreo. Look how cute the ending was; fans in the comment section are loving it!

1) Kany, the choreographer
We wouldn’t forget to add the queen here on top. Kany has choreographed a lot of K-pop dances already, including SHINee’s tracks Hard and Gasoline. She even contributed some of her choreography skills to the queen, Beyoncé. Now, VIVIZ is slaying her hip choreo for their newest track, MANIAC.
@viviz_bpm QUEEN OF QUEEN like 비욘세👑 with #Kany #VIVIZ #비비지 #EUNHA #은하 #SINB #신비 #UMJI #엄지 #MANIAC #매니악 #MANIACchallenge #매니악챌린지
- On the other side, we only have two idols hopping into the VIVIZ MANIAC Challenge hip trend. We hope to see more of them, so K-pop idols, we wish to witness you all slay the hip dance!
2) CRAVITY Hyeongjun
No doubt, he will always slay girl group dances. CRAVITY’s Hyeongjun has been known among K-pop idols to dance these girl group choreos with so much grace. We want to see if he requested to do this one or if they asked him if he could do this. Either way, he deserves this spot (for now, since we expect to see more of VIVIZ MANIAC Challenge hip choreo!)

1) GFRIEND and soloist Yuju
Oh, bias aside, we all knew that GFRIEND and now-soloist Yuju gave us everything with this VIVIZ MANIAC Challenge. Among the other members of GFRIEND, Sowon, and Yerin, Yuju was the only one who took on the hip choreo challenge with VIVIZ. Seriously, the hip control and sharp moves? Even her clothes fit the choreo! We love this mini-GFRIEND reunion.
@viviz_bpm 유주와 함께 MANIAC 💜with #유주 #YUJU #VIVIZ #비비지 #EUNHA #은하 #SINB #신비 #UMJI #엄지 #MANIAC #매니악 #MANIACchallenge #매니악챌린지
We’re also hoping to see TXT’s Yeonjun and Huening Kai, SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan, and maybe the recently debuted Seo Soojin! We can’t wait to add more to our list. By the way, NaVs, why not try the VIVIZ MANIAC challenge hip choreo, too?
