1MILLION

1MILLION Dance Studio and Crew is a Seoul-based dance academy and performance team recognized for precision, musicality, and global reach. Founded in 2014 by choreographer Lia Kim alongside partners including Kim Min Ja, the studio grew from a small basement space into a multi-level facility in Seoul’s Seongsu district.

Lia Kim is known for her choreography work with artists including TWICE, BoA, Girls’ Generation, Sunmi, EVERGLOW, and ITZY. Her approach emphasizes clarity, control, and accessibility, shaping 1MILLION’s identity as both a training environment and performance team.

In 2015, 1MILLION launched its YouTube channel, which became a global reference point for choreography and studio-based performance. With over 26 million subscribers, the platform helped introduce a wide international audience to contemporary dance training.

Beyond digital reach, 1MILLION operates across live performance, competition, and mentorship. The crew placed runner-up on Mnet’s Street Woman Fighter 2 in 2023 and continued international live appearances in 2024. They enter IDL with experience across training, broadcast, and live performance.
