The new Blackpink video features something closely approximating A CONGA

  • August 8, 2016
  • Popjustice

We live in exciting times. YG Entertainment, the com­plic­atedly-struc­tured South Korean enter­tain­ment house respons­ible for the likes of Psy and 2NE1, launched their new girlgroup Blackpink today with two videos and one — for 'Boombayah' — features what can only be described as a conga.

Here's a GIF!

For the full 80s school disco vibe there's another bit where they all get on the floor and do the rowing boat dance, but sadly there's no sign of 'Agadoo'.

Soompi report that Blackpink, who were revealed in June, were ori­gin­ally supposed to have nine members (!); they've launched with four but the others are still knocking around behind the scenes and might join in later. Fingers crossed for that — imagine how good a girlband conga would be with nine members!

Anyway here's 'Boombayah' which is pretty good.

Thanks to Daniel off Twitter for the heads up on this video.

Reports have reached us that a spon­tan­eous conga line was formed at a recent Troye Sivan show.

@Popjustice people formed a conga line to @troyesivan's acoustic cover of @DUALIPA's Be The One at his Sydney show
