BLACKPINK members danced to the "Jiggle Jiggle" soundtrack
The girls danced to the trending song made of documentarian Louis Theroux's rap lyrics. Rose took centre stage, while Lisa and Jennie danced in the background. The group tried to keep a straight face while attempting the viral choreography. Rose missed a step, but bounced back immediately before being carried off-camera by her collaborators.
The new video was uploaded after a long break of eight months. The BLACKPINK members looked amazing in their chic outfits. Rose flaunted her shoulder-length hair in a structured cropped blazer, while Lisa wore a loose shirt with bow detail at the neckline and high waisted trousers. Jennie wore a white minidress with a black belt.
The video gained over 360k comments, many of which asked about Jisoo since she was absent from the video. User Roseanne enquired about the fourth band member in her comment that read:
"WHAT ABT JISOO UNNIE"
While many poked fun at the girl's expressions. user Asnae Br commented:
"Lisa and Jennie looks like they being kidnapped. How much did you pay them to do this with you rose?"
Quite a few BLACKPINK fans asked about upcoming songs from the band, while some swooned over Rose's new haircut.
User Momostrawberry commented:
"Everybody agree that we need to see new songs of blackpink ?"
Another user named Butterfly said:
"OMG ROSÈ YOU ARE SO PRETTY WITH SHORT HAIR!"
What is the "Jiggle Jiggle" trend?
The song was taken from a 2000s interview with British-American journalist Louis Theroux on Chicken Shop Date with Amelia Dimoldenberg. Chicken Shop Date is a YouTube series where Dimoldenberg conducted interviews in a manner resembling awkward first dates.
The 52-year-old journalist shared the lyrics on the YouTube series, which was picked up by producer duo, Duke and Jones. The lyrics read:
“My money don’t jiggle, jiggle, it folds / I like to see you wiggle, wiggle, for sure.”

The audio boasts over 4 million videos currently, most of which are dance videos performing the choreography by Jess and Brooke.
