Has tiktok affected kpop choreo?

To be honest, catchy moves in kpop have existed long before tiktok was even a thing.

So no.

Well the whole dance challenges having being a thing since 2018 and they became more prominent with the notoriety of Ticktock

Yeah, maybe it's the dance challenge thing and it was just amplified with tictok. And while catchy moves and fans learning choreo have been part of kpop forever, sometimes I do feel like I notice when the choreo does a very specific section designed for challenges and going viral.

Yeah definitely some choreos were made to be used as dance challenge take for example power up by Red velvet which was released in 2018 the hand gestures was made specifically to be used as a way to make the song go viral.

To be honest i had enough of every song coming out and the company labeling the choreo as a challenge like it's so over done and cringy at this point , and challenges are so 2014 like no one is doing challenges any more

Nah. The viral dance is already long time exist in kpop. That why every kpop group have their point of dance in every of their choreos.

Yeah like everyone else said, viral dances existed before kpop so I'm not sure if choreography has changed for tiktok... certainly tiktok can be a valuable asset to help songs blow up and promote though. That's why you see idols on tiktok now posting clips and promoting their own challenges.

Tbh I always felt like Tik tok dances had a Kpop feel to them

good point actually...maybe they're just more aware of making catchy moves now to promote songs?

I totally agree with this, it really helps them get creative with their dances as well

No, its just they promote it more now

sure why not...anything that increases their exposure and if that is tiktok moves then so be it...

ever heard of KISS principle - Keep It Simple Stupid?

Tbh it only ruins the songs that don't need it, like the songs with hard hitting beat.
