The 5th generation of K-Pop is all the rage right now and dominating this generation as one of the top rising groups is none other than RIIZE. With talented members, gorgeous visuals, and addictive music, RIIZE is steadily making their mark on the industry. Their latest comeback with the prologue single 'Impossible' was a house track that featured outstanding choreography, and the member who caught fans' attention the most with his unmatched dancing skills was Shotaro.

Thoroughly impressed by Shotaro's flawless talent, we were left wanting more. So, it got us thinking about a dream variety show where Shotaro could collaborate with fellow K-Pop idols who were also known for their incredible skills.

So, here are the top 5 idol dancers we would love to see collab with RIIZE's Shotaro!

1. Shotaro x SHINee's TaeMin

The person who wants this collaboration even more than us is probably Shotaro himself. TaeMin is Shotaro's role model and as we all know, TaeMin is one of the best, if not THE best dancer in K-Pop. A collaboration between the reigning King and a rising Prince would be fantastic, to say the least. Both dancers have their own unique groove and style that, we believe, would complement each other wonderfully.

2. Shotaro x SEVENTEEN's Hoshi

Another dancing machine whose talent knows no bounds, Hoshi would be perfect for a dance collaboration with Shotaro. With both Hoshi and Shotaro being sunshine personified, this collab would break the internet for being the coolest and the cutest at the same time. We can already imagine the two idols getting along well together and we would love to see them come up with an original choreography.

3. Shotaro x EXO's Lay Zhang

If we're talking about the best of the best when it comes to dance, we cannot possibly forget Lay Zhang. The idol recently made his comeback on Korean music shows with his latest song 'Psychic'. With the man, the myth, and the legend back, we would love to see him dance with SM's rising star, Shotaro. From one dance prodigy to another, this could be a collaboration that's truly one of a kind.

4. Shotaro x KISS OF LIFE's Natty

Widely recognized as one of the it-girls of K-Pop right now, Natty is an outstanding dancer, to say the least. A collaboration between the two 5th-generation dance icons - Natty and Shotaro, would make the headlines for days. Both artists have a knack for a variety of dance styles and are known for their high-energy, precise performances. We'd love to see a fusion of different dance styles from them.

5. Shotaro x New:ID's Wilson

Currently a trainee under MLD Entertainment, New:ID's Wilson is already gaining attention from all over the world for his dance skills. New:ID's SNS is buzzing with dance cover videos and fans just can't get enough of Wilson's moves. Collaborating with Shotaro would be a great opportunity for Wilson to learn from his sunbaenim and give us even more reasons to fall in love with both of them all over again.

The K-Pop world always continues to exceed expectations and provide refreshing new concepts. With the expansion of K-Pop worldwide, many groups are promoting in Korea that are not even made of Koreans themselves. One rising group in the Korean entertainment scene is NEW:ID, a 5 member Filipino boy group - L, Macky, Jom, Thad, and Wilson. The group promotes in South Korea and are under MLD Entertainment.

Ahead of their official debut, NEW:ID has released singles such as 'E.R' and 'Deja vu', demonstrating their insane talent and introducing the K-Pop world to what they're all about. Even without their official debut, the group has managed to steal the hearts of many and pique the interest of K-Pop fans around the world.

While Filipino boy groups are becoming prevalent in K-Pop, NEW:ID is making their stance to be on top. They've earned a pretty decent fanbase so far even before their debut. Many new groups are debuting more often nowadays, but NEW:ID has many people excited about them for various reasons.

Their YouTube series presents their Unique Personalities

On the group's official YouTube channel, they created a short series titled "New:I DO" which showed the member's first adventures in Seoul. Many fans enjoyed that they did not create artificial personalities for the camera. All members of the series showed their true personalities. They were calm and a bit awkward in front of the camera, but it was obvious that they were enjoying Seoul to its fullest. It was refreshing to see the members enjoy their travels and curiosity about Seoul. Allowing fans to get to know them from the start and experience the joy together builds an unforgettable bond.

Incredible Vocal Abilities

NEW:ID has amazing singles and performances but what makes them stand out is their vocal colors and abilities. From their songs to cover songs, their range is endless when they pick up a microphone. They give it their all even if it's for a short 1-minute cover on their YouTube channel. If their singles don't have you hypnotized, their songs online surely will. The group never let their setbacks define who they were and worked hard, constantly improving despite their elimination from "Dream Makers."

With the rise of accusations online of idols lip-syncing, NEW:ID should never face these comments. Their talent speaks for itself in their performances and they can hit incredible runs for songs that are difficult to execute. People look forward to their promotions in the future because it will allow them more chances to show off their singing.

They're Opening A Whole New Realm In The K-Pop World

The rise of K-Pop groups with members of various backgrounds are on the rise and fans love the inclusivity in a once-homogenous genre. As one of the first Filipino groups promoting in Korea, alongside their brother group HORI7ON, NEW:ID are opening a new world. Succeding in the K-Pop world is difficult for Korean member groups. A full Filipino group may face harsher setbacks and rebuttals. Despite all the trials that may lie ahead, NEW:ID is ready to make their mark on the K-Pop world and has been doing an amazing job so far! There's so much in store for this group.

Plethora Of Social Media Content

Social media is one of the top marketing factors when it comes to K-Pop groups in the current age. Outside of their performances and singles, they post consistently on social media for their fans. Outside of the short series on their YouTube, the group makes various trending TikToks, Instagram reels and posts their daily lives on X. The options for online content are endless for fans who want to learn more about them! Their success on these social media platforms are one of the reasons they continue to gain popularity by the minute.
