The dancers are then seen performing solo, until they eventually come together in a large lit room and dance to the choreography with Kay until the video's ending. The lead dancer and Kay's interest in the "Flash" music video was Park Namyong, a dancer for Rain, who has also choreographed for the likes of Korean boy-band 2PM.
