Latest Fancam:
I happened to watch a clip of K dancing to Samidare. He was alone in a classroom, I think. His dancing was impressive – precise yet flowing effortlessly from one step to the next. Then I saw him in another video for &Team dance practice and he stood out from everyone else. I wanted to see more of K dancing so I began watching all of &Team’s videos. So one could say I was really a K fan before I became an &Team fan.
