ENHYPEN‘s Ni-Ki has always astounded fans with his immense dancing skill.
The extended version of Ni-ki’s dance break at MMA was uploaded.
He is so powerful on stage. It is one of his best dances where he truly shows what he is capable of. #NI_KI #니키 pic.twitter.com/41RXVnJi1S

One of his dance covers that fans find the most iconic is his impeccable cover of BTS Jimin‘s song “Lie.”

Although Ni-Ki shared with fans just how challenging the cover was…
It was really hard, to be honest. Also I practiced for about three days. I think it was a good experience.
— Ni-Ki
Fans were in awe of his tremendous skill, which gave them goosebumps.

And now Ni-Ki’s admiration for Jimin seems to have come full circle as the two finally collaborated for Jimin’s “Like Crazy” challenge.

Ni-ki’s dancing is all about connection. He always matches the energy perfectly with whoever he is dancing with.
With Jimin, he matched the elegance and vibe of Jimin’s dance and paced perfectly with him. Even the cute energy at the end, they matched. 🥹
