Did Lee Joon Steal Her Dance? Why YENA Studied a Cover of Her Own Song

What happens when the cover dancer becomes the face of a song's internet meme? YENA offered a playful answer.

YENA released ‘Catch Catch’ in March 2026. A May 15 original Workman YouTube episode followed actor Lee Joon learning cheerleading at an LG Twins game, including a dance to the track. On the October 19 ‘Jjanhanhyung Shin Dong-yup’ episode, YENA said she enjoyed his performance but playfully worried that the song might be ‘taken away’, so she practiced his heavier dance interpretation.

The twist is that the original artist learned from a viral cover. Lee Joon's weightier motions and YENA's bouncy style both became recognizable ways to enjoy the same song.

Public Korean community posts in May praised Lee Joon for learning numerous cheer routines. YENA herself said she originally found the performance funny and was grateful. Neither reaction suggests an actual dispute about ownership.

Dance challenges can give one song different public faces. An artist studying a cover of her own music is a funny example of how internet culture works.

The single came out in March; the original Workman cheerleading video premiered May 15; YENA's new interview was published October 19. The embed contains the original cheerleading video, not the October talk-show episode.

No new collaboration is confirmed, and this story does not invent upcoming joint performances.
