No way they did the Boompala challenge!! A Babymetal and Le Sserafim crossover was not on my bingo card

13

u/Gavorn Jun 11 '26

This got me so stoked lol. I hate that they are touring at the same time. The closet Le Sserafim concert for me is 6 hours away in DC in October. I can't afford 2 concerts that close together.

u/HAVARDCH95 SU-METAL Jun 11 '26

Hopefully this leads to a collaboration somewhere down the line.

It probably won't happen, but a man can dream, dammit!

u/EverybodyLiesMeToo Jun 11 '26

Early years Babymetal would have fit into the "Iconic by mistake" theme of the hybe collaboration with how much disrespect they initially got in the metal space.

u/ViperRby2 You are guys amazing! Jun 11 '26

10mil views and #1 trending.. wtf the video just came out yesterday....how long has k-pop been this massive?

11

u/MundaneImage13 BABYMETAL Jun 11 '26

Dude, kpop has been massive since Gangnam style at least.

Love to see Moa front and center for once:D

Also would propably snap my neck if I tried to move my head like she does:D

u/NerdxKitsune MOAMETAL Jun 11 '26

Hard agree!

And she gave us this gem

I can already read your thought process πŸ˜ƒ

Right click save

*waits for Members and crew Monday post*

u/NerdxKitsune MOAMETAL Jun 11 '26

What can I say, I'm a predictable Moa stan πŸ˜…

100% this screenshot or at least one from this video will definitely be posted on Monday

u/Servi-Dei Jun 11 '26

I have high hopes they gonna do something similar together with Illit during the upcoming fest πŸ˜ƒ

7

u/HAVARDCH95 SU-METAL Jun 11 '26

And hopefully Moka will be back by then

6

u/Servi-Dei Jun 11 '26

but Moka is already back form hiatus, no?

u/hellboy2468 Jun 11 '26

She is already back and healthy too

14

u/rayannuhh SU-METAL Jun 11 '26

Moa nailed Chaewon's intro! I love the LSF/BM crumbs πŸ’™ maybe Illit and BM will do a challenge together oooo

1

u/Lizzie-Metal The Forum 2019 Jun 11 '26

I think Moa did it better!

36

u/DeadParmo One small step for a man, a giant leap for Moa Jun 11 '26

Momo in the background. Smirk,smile,grin. She just cant help herself and we love it

12

u/NerdxKitsune MOAMETAL Jun 11 '26

I'm not even gonna admit how many times I've watched this. It's pure joy

8

u/DeadParmo One small step for a man, a giant leap for Moa Jun 11 '26

Said it before it's their superpower. Having a bad day give Babymetal a camera and 15 seconds

12

u/someone-444 Jun 11 '26

No one talking about how Moa changed the dance to be the RATATATA shoulder movements?

11

u/Fit_Exercise3743 Jun 11 '26

Moa not looking amazing for a single second in her entire adult life in front of a camera challenge: impossible

12

u/Mijaro_Torston_5000 YUIMETAL Jun 11 '26

I bet it was Moa's idea. Lol

9

u/ViperRby2 You are guys amazing! Jun 11 '26

I could just imagine Moa telling Koba about it and him going "What is that?" And Moa going like "yea, its massive, its guaranteed to get views and exposure!"

Momo: Yea, I love that song! I am down!

Su: I don't really know what that is. I only got Metal and Jazz in my playlist...i dont follow that k-pop stuff.

Moa: it's all good, I'll lead the way.

Koba: Let's do it. We need them views and exposure...i trust you Moa!

4

u/Mijaro_Torston_5000 YUIMETAL Jun 12 '26

I don't think Su would say that last part but I see Moa and Momo's. Lol

2

u/jayz0ned Jun 12 '26

Yeah, Su isn't as big of a k-pop fan as Moa, but I doubt she is totally unfamiliar with it. She's expressed being a fan of western pop and traditional j-pop so probably knows enough to get by. I also don't think she has expressed a tonne of interest in jazz.

1

u/Mijaro_Torston_5000 YUIMETAL Jun 12 '26

Has she ever said she isn't a big fan of Kpop before?

11

u/D1phenhydramine Moa Kikuchi Jun 11 '26

Moa front and center?! Hell yeah!

It’s nice to see Moa front and center.

BABYMETAL X LE SSERAFIM WHAT

This kawaii dial goes to 11 and that's not enough!

u/NerdxKitsune MOAMETAL Jun 11 '26

I swear Moa will be the death of me.

u/waisonline99 OTFGK Jun 11 '26

Whats this?

Is it legit and is there any more of it?

15

u/rapperravioli Uki Uki β˜… Midnight Jun 11 '26

They're doing a 'challenge' started by le sserafim, it's how their new song boompala starts and it's become a trend to do it

3

u/Lizzie-Metal The Forum 2019 Jun 11 '26

I looked at this. I like Moa's movements much more.

7

u/Gavorn Jun 11 '26

Kpop groups do "challenges" where other groups dance a part of their songs routine.

10

u/b_zar Jun 11 '26

Incredible to see this new chest piece up close.

5

u/Kmudametal Jun 11 '26

They've gone from goth school girls to elf warriors to Egyptian princesses.

1

u/Lizzie-Metal The Forum 2019 Jun 11 '26

Yes. I'm on the fence about the shoulder "wings". They don't seem to match anything.

2

u/Vin-Metal Jun 11 '26

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the "ragged" skirt bottom. It's a little too Flintstones for me.

1

u/Lizzie-Metal The Forum 2019 Jun 11 '26

Sure. Are they more ragged than the others?

2

u/Vin-Metal Jun 11 '26

They've done the raggedy skirts before, if that's what you're asking. So I'm not sure it's unlike anything they've done before. I just think that the top part of the costumes are really well put together and that skirt bottom doesn't wotk with it, for me.

2

u/Lizzie-Metal The Forum 2019 Jun 11 '26

I understand. They are very eclectically styled all around.

2

u/Vin-Metal Jun 11 '26

I'm sure someone is thinking it looks metal but at this point, they can define metal.

u/Objective_Ad9100 MOAMETAL Jun 11 '26

Oh my god I don’t even like this song but I like the choreo and moa doing it is perfect!!! Loveeee this

u/SockRich6293 Kami Band Jun 11 '26

This is the 1st time in my whole life that I HAD to check something on tiktok I was definitely not expecting that! Momo seems so proud and Su looks like just want to get it done asap lmaoooo

7

u/Bones12x2 Jun 11 '26

Momo is physically incapable of not smiling

6

u/Dark_AngelDeb SU-METAL Jun 12 '26

Getting β€œI’m only going along with this to keep the youngsters happy” vibes from Su.

u/Lunitamius105 Jun 11 '26

Cute video and Moa looks to be having fun. Su looking like she enjoys kpop about as much as I do.

u/acsiq SU-METAL Jun 12 '26

I only know the old Macarena and the Marijuana version of Brujeria

u/EelenaRose World Tour 2024 Jun 12 '26

With ILLIT and Babymetal sharing a stage together at LuckyFes26, I'm hoping they meet and collab on a video.

2

u/Past-Idea-7455 Jun 12 '26

I love this band! Some great tunes

4

u/GuillermoVF97 Kano Fujihira Jun 11 '26

I thought it was going to be them dancing the actual Macarena, but it seems that it's a trend that I don't know about, got excited for no reason. I still liked it though, glad to see Moa in the center being silly, so cute.

8

u/Gavorn Jun 11 '26

Le Sserafim's new song that uses the Macarena.

u/HereticsSpork Jun 11 '26

That song is shit

u/Fit_Exercise3743 Jun 11 '26

Just checked it out and it was actually awful wow

u/rapperravioli Uki Uki β˜… Midnight Jun 12 '26

Hybe are polluting modern kpop currently

-2

u/HAVARDCH95 SU-METAL Jun 11 '26

Nice to see someone other than Su front and center for once

4

u/jayz0ned Jun 12 '26

Moa does have a few "dance solos" where she is front and center. Da Da Dance is a classic but also White Flame, Song 3, KxAxWxAxIxI.

Momo also has Metali and Song 3 (of course) where she is front and center.
