Fans were truly amazed when Emma Song, a member of WANT, appeared. This crew gained recognition through their strong presence on Mnet’s dance battle program, “Street Woman Fighter.”Emma Song was a notable member of this crew.
Before that, she had experience working as a backup dancer for various K-pop idols such as Kang Daniel, SHINee Key and Taemin, HyunA, and Dawn. She also collaborated with Jeon Somi as a choreographer.
After the “SWF”incident, Emma remained active on social media, constantly communicating with her fans. However, she suddenly disappeared from the entertainment industry, deleting her social media accounts and leaving her whereabouts unknown to her fans.
Despite the lack of awareness, she was secretly preparing to make her debut as a K-pop idol in BPM’s newest girl group, “Bad Villain.”
With her exceptional dance abilities and magnetic presence, K-pop fans are already predicting that she will make a significant impact on the K-pop industry as the next leading main dancer of the 5th generation.
In the meantime, Bad Villain is set to make its debut in the first half of 2024 and will focus on delivering outstanding performances.
