AOA’s 2014 single Miniskirt is making a surprising return to the music charts, almost 11 years after its release thanks to its hugely popular success “My hips don’t stop” meme that is currently taking over social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
According to Melon Chart data from October 21, the song re-entered the charts at number 110, moving closer to a place in the main Top 100. The song’s unexpected resurgence stems from a viral meme featuring the phrase “My hips won’t stop, what should I do?” paired with exaggerated AI-edited clips and nostalgic flash game-style visuals.
The trend was first sparked by influencer “Pong-Gwi”, who posted a quirky short video combining a chaotic montage with the instrumental version of Miniskirt as background music. The mix of absurd humor and captivating retro aesthetics, especially recognizable to those born in the 90s, resonated with a huge audience.
Soon, K-pop influencers and idols joined the trend, imitating the now-iconic “hip dance” that features pelvic movements in sync with the song. Notably, NMIXX members Sullyoon and Kyujin posted their own versions, helping the meme spread further across fandoms.
In an interview with a digital magazine, Pong-Gwi revealed why they chose Miniskirt as the meme’s soundtrack, saying: “I thought it fit the mood perfectly, it was so frustrating that it worked.”
The meme’s momentum continues to bring a wave of nostalgia and humor, proving once again how powerful online trends can breathe new life into old hits.
