Ringa Linga was released in 2013 by South Korean singer Taeyang, a member of Big Bang, as a single ahead of his album Rise. The track is built around a simple, chant-like hook and a hard-hitting dance beat, and its music video and live performances helped make the choreography a talking point among K-pop fans. Dance covers, fan edits and short clips soon spread the hook beyond its original release, and it remains a recognisable shorthand for confident, high-energy K-pop. Its short length and instant rhythm make it easy to reuse in memes, transitions and dance videos.
