“Wiggle Wiggle”

Through this single, Hello Venus peaked at number 66 on the Gaon Digital Chart, a Korean music chart. In this comeback, they used a sexy concept within the K-pop dance and pop dance genres. The concept can be seen from the group’s photo teaser that was uploaded by the agency (Fantagio Music). In the photo, they wore colorful costumes with short shorts that showed their long legs! Because they were considered too sexy, mature, and vulgar, their music video and dance choreography were banned by various music show programs on several TV stations such as SBS, KBS, and MBC.
