Were you ready to dance the night away with Day 4 of KCON:TACT HI 5 LIVE from the USA?! We were and so was Team B.U.K! It was their very first time here at LIVE from the USA week and we loved it! They played songs from the HI 5 line up and answered some fan questions in-between. Check out all the fun below! Let's get started by welcoming Team B.U.K! You can catch them in the SoCal area and watch them perform at K-pop events, random streets and more! Without further ado, let's get right into it! There were so many amazing song choices by Team B.U.K and everyone loved dancing to them! Here were some of our favorites! Can you guess what songs were played based on the dances? Q&A time! Participants sent in some amazing questions! Team B.U.K answered them during break time! How do you fit your schedules between your personal life and dance? Everyone works and has personal lives during the day, so practices are usually at late night. They also have separate groups that meet together at different times or locations to practice. How do you pick which team member does which member in the group being covered? Sometimes it depends on the person's dance style. Other times's it's based on auditions. Or people will form a group together and collab. Helpful tips for beginning dancers? When first starting, learn something you want to do. A song or artists you love. Not based on what everyone else is doing. That will make dancing more fun and enjoyable! Who learns Choreography the fastest? Well... Challenges of dancing in public? Security guards will randomly come in. Weather can change at any time. During COVID, wearing face masks was difficult while dancing. Editor: Random people who won't get out of the frame... Don't forget to STRETCH! Dance injuries are NOT FUN! If you want to join the team... Send a message on IG or email! They'd love to hear from you! Round 2 was just as great as Round 1! Team B.U.K was not short on energy and neither were our guests! A water break definitely helped but they were all back and ready for more! Thank you to everyone that attended today's event!

KCON:TACT HI 5 LIVE from the USA was very excited to bring back the amazing artist JUN, hosted by the talented Riley Tollett! Though Jun and Riley are KCON regulars, this was both their first time at LIVE from the USA week! JUN was especially excited to meet all his fans! JUN showcased his wonderful home in Seoul, South Korea in the background. Riley and him had originally planned a 2-week vacation. However, due to the pandemic, that trip ended up lasting 3 months for Riley and a permanent relocation for JUN. Fun fact: JUN only had 2 weeks of clothes in his bag when he decided to live in Korea. So he lived off of that bag, along with his violin and camera, for almost an entire year! During their intro talk, JUN mentioned that his favorite filming experience was with Riley herself! During one of their videos, Riley helped design/create Jun's outfit and he was highly impressed! Oh, and she also dropped his camera once... *gasp BY THE WAY: Jun's TikTok series "Hyung Hyung Hyung... Can you do this?" isn't a joke. When BTS's ON music video came out, he learned the song, filmed it and uploaded it 14 hours after the original. WOW! He says it usually takes him less than 8 hours to learn a new song on the violin. IMPRESSIVE! Let's not forget the beautiful songs he performed for his fans today. Some of his favorites! You can catch them on his Youtube Channel - JuNCurryAhn River Flows in You - Yiruma / Wedding Dress - Taeyang Advice - Taemin Permission to Dance - BTS STAY - The Kid LAROI / Justin Beiber Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran I'll Give You My Heart OST - IU Back in Time - LYN Fans were ecstatic. Look at all these smiles and cheers! During their Q&A session, fans were able to ask JUN so many great and fun questions! Of course, it wouldn't be JUN & Riley without a little playful banter. We love you Riley! Oh. By the way. JUN's boba order is a milk tea, 50% sugar with no boba..... I'll just leave that right there. Thank you to all the amazing fans that attended today's event! Jun and Riley had so much fun today! Don't forget to show your support by following them on social media! @ril2cha @JunCurryAhn Don't miss out on the other KCON:TACT HI 5 - LIVE from the USA events that are coming up!
