A 60-year-old gas station owner has recently become quite a sensation on social media with his expressive and energetic dance covers of girl group songs like those by IVE, NewJeans, and more.
The Dancing Meditator TikTok channel is quickly gaining popularity with videos of the silver-haired gas station owner dancing, dressed in red uniform, in front of the gas pumps.
Despite being in his 60s, the energetic silver-haired gentleman demonstrates extraordinary dancing prowess that has helped him build an impressive fan following on the digital platform. His inspiring dance renditions have remarkably amassed 1.3 million views in total.
Netizens who are amazed at his skills commented, "He dances better than young people," "his moves are so effortless, so it makes you wonder if he's a young person in disguise," "He's so cool," and "I would believe it if he said he's a professional dancer."
Interestingly, 'Dancing Meditator' (real name Lee Hang Woo) is not an ordinary amateur dancer. He was once a renowned dancer and choreographer. The transition from the world of dance to the digital space of TikTok happened thanks to a suggestion from his son.
In the heyday of his career, Lee Hang Woo commanded a high level of respect and admiration from iconic artists such as Insooni, Kang Won Rae, and Hyun Jin Young.
Today, he continues his passion for dance, not on stage, but on the digital platform, proving that age is just a number when it comes to following one's passion.
