The lead singer of popular boy band SHINee wrote that his…

Just dance. Gonna be ok. Do do da da. Just dance.    The MC got the event started with some inspiring words: “No excuses, no limits”. He says it motivated him, and I am paraphrasing, in his dark days. The rules were simple: voice your likes or dislikes on the dancer performing.
