What does it mean?
Aika Otsuka's 2003 song 'Sakuranbo' was a nostalgic favorite for Korea's early-2000s Cyworld generation. It resurfaced in 2020 after streamer Rallo frequently played it on broadcast, and BJ Yoo Hyedi of AfreecaTV popularized a chorus-section dance — closing her eyes, puffing her cheeks, and waving both hands — that spread among streamers as a cover-dance challenge.
Where did it start?
Aika Otsuka's song released in 2003; became a cover-dance trend among Korean livestreamers in 2020.
How is it used?
A good reference when talking about a charmingly quirky cover dance to an old song.
