KPOP Meaning
Relay Dance is a YouTube series from M2, CJ ENM's digital music studio. As Soompi reported in 2020, idols promote their latest songs by taking turns performing the choreography in a line instead of their usual formations. The series had passed 270 million views by 2019 and won the Music/Voice Performance category at the Vega Digital Awards. M2 titles the videos "[릴레이댄스]" or "[Relay Dance]" and shortens the name to "릴댄" in descriptions. Episodes such as KNK's "SUNSET" in 2019 and RESCENE's "Runaway" in 2026 arrive alongside a group's new release.
Usage
Used for M2's one-by-one choreography videos: "their Relay Dance for the new single". Members step forward in turn, so each one's dancing is easy to follow.
