Biography

Rozalin is a South Korean dancer and choreographer known for her work across K-pop music videos, broadcast performance, and street-dance competition. Working under the professional mononym Rozalin, she has built a career at the intersection of commercial idol choreography and street-dance vocabulary, directing movement for some of South Korea's most visible music acts.

As a choreographer, Rozalin has contributed to multiple releases by major K-pop groups. Her credits include aespa's "Next Level" and "Savage," VIVIZ's "Bop Bop," Red Velvet's "Milk Shake," and Lee Chaeyeon's "KNOCK." This body of work demonstrates her range in translating street-dance sensibility into the high-production context of music-video choreography and idol performance.

Beyond choreography, Rozalin has worked as a backup dancer on artist projects, including roles on SHINee's Taemin's tracks "Heaven," "Advice," and "Guilty." This dual practice—both creating movement for other performers and executing choreography herself—has shaped her approach to both roles.

Rozalin gained wider recognition through her appearance on Mnet's *Street Woman Fighter*, where she competed as part of the WANT crew. The broadcast platform introduced her to audiences beyond the music-video and recording industry, establishing her presence in South Korea's visible dance landscape.
