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.
