Sumario:K-pop cover groups (K-covers) embody their South Korean idols in online and offline choreographic practices while, from the specificity of their bodies, “choreograph gender” in their performance appearances. The relevance of this investigation is to present theoretical and methodological tools for the analysis of pop culture phenomena (covers), from the intersections of the notions of interculturality and gender studies. It presents, as methodology, the analysis of videos of K-pop cover groups in which LGBTQIA + young people (black, fat and trans) re-enact choreography of K-pop girl groups promoting intercultural erasures. As a result, it presents the resignification of aegyo (here thought of as “cuteness” by female K-pop groups) that, choreographed by LGBTQIA + young people in contexts outside South Korea, operate under the logic of fierceness and “slayness”.
