Born to be ... a pole dancer
Imagine hanging onto a pole in front of thousands of people with their eyes fixated on you – and still delivering a powerful, sensual performance.
This is exactly what Solar did at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in Japan last December. Dressed in a shimmering gold outfit inspired by Cleopatra, she performed a solo performance to Mamamoo’s Born to Be.
The entire crowd watched in awe and cheered as she carried out elegant spins and heart-stopping drops – even stunning other watching K-pop stars, including members of IZ*ONE.
Having practised pole dancing for only a few months and, coupled with the pressure of performing in front of an huge crowd, Solar definitely took her artistry to a whole new level!
Hola, hermosa!
