Kep1er's Shen Xiaoting became the 'Dancing Queen' again at the 'Idol Athletics Championship.' The dance sports competition featuring girl group members was aired yesterday (7th) on MBC's '2025 Chuseok Special Idol Star Championship.' Comedian Lee Eunji expressed gratitude for being invited to such a meaningful event, stating, 'I made my debut as a dance sports athlete.' Dance sports athlete Park Jiwoo also showed expectations, saying, 'The average practice time is said to be 156 hours.' The first participant was Kep1er's Shen Xiaoting, who previously participated in the dance sports category at the 2022 'Idol Athletics Championship,' winning with a score of 29.2 out of 30. Anticipation for Shen Xiaoting's stage was already high, with commentators predicting, 'The spirit will be to 'beat Xiaoting.' Park Jiwoo described her stage as 'like the romance of a secret agent from the movie '007.' She chose her own music, prepared costumes and props, and firmly grasped the concept.' Lee Eunji praised her dance, saying, 'Very skilled. The partnership is excellent. Really wonderful,' while Jonathan remarked, 'I was shown a wonderful movie.' The acclaim continued with 'As expected of the 'Dancing Queen,' and Xiaoting secured first place with 26.5 points. Following her, ICHILLIN's Iji's stage was showcased. Park Jiwoo noted, 'She transforms into an attractive vampire. The story and concept are very clear, and there's a goosebumps-inducing gap.' He added, 'She majored in modern dance for three years in high school, so I think we should focus on the technical aspects.' Lee Eunji was in awe throughout Iji's performance, praising her expressive acting and smooth costume changes, stating, 'Her Latin dance is very good. She's composed and calm. Just really skilled.' Park Jiwoo also mentioned her flexibility due to her modern dance background and referred to her high-level techniques. Iji scored 25.8 but unfortunately could not surpass Shen Xiaoting. Additionally, in women's team pistol shooting, MEOVV won gold, and in men's Sireum (Korean wrestling) team competition, 82MAJOR won after a fierce battle, showcasing their victory performance. With the high-level dance performances of both participants revealed, expectations for the upcoming competitions are rising.
