SEVENTEEN fans are currently reveling in a delightful surprise as a 20-year-old dance video featuring the beloved producer Na Yeong-seok has gone viral. The video surfaced on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on February 23. It features a younger Na PD energetically dancing to Toni Basil’s iconic track “Hey Mickey,” leaving fans both amused and impressed.
This unexpected gem came from an episode of the old South Korean variety show Heroine 5. Na PD, then 29 years old, was a guest on the show alongside Jee Seok-jin. In a memorable segment, Na PD was challenged to dance to “Hey Mickey.” He enthusiastically accepted the challenge and danced his heart out. He even taught his shoulder moves to the other guests on the show. The video has since captured the hearts of CARATs, all of whom can’t get enough of his spirited dancing. After two decades, it resurfaced, highlighting a side of Na PD that many didn’t know existed.
The resurgence of this video is particularly significant because of Na PD’s relationship with SEVENTEEN. The producer and the 13-member boy group became close after working together several times. Their most recent collaboration was the six-episode reality travel show NANA Tour with SEVENTEEN. Their interactions, filled with comedic moments and friendly banter, have endeared Na PD to CARATs.
This was from 2004 when Na PD is still the producer for Happy Sunday and this segment is called Heroine 5 with Lee Seokjin. He was asked to dance because he cut the music suddenly 😂
It's around 3:38 minute the most watched part 😅https://t.co/1c9AGefaow

CARATs praised Na PD’s dancing
Fans, recalling the many hilarious exchanges between the producer and the boy group, couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of SEVENTEEN reacting to Na PD’s dancing. Some took to X to write, “Don’t let SEVENTEEN see this.” They feared the boy group would never let Na PD hear the end of it if they ever watched the video of him dancing to “Hey Mickey.” Some added that Jeonghan in particular would have a field day with it, as he and Na PD like to playfully one-up each other.
CARATs have taken to social media to praise Na PD’s dancing, with many joking that he could have had a good career as a K-pop idol if he hadn’t gone into directing and producing. They affectionately dubbed him “Dino‘s father,” after noticing that 29-year-old Na PD looked a little bit like SEVENTEEN’s youngest member.
This incident underscores the deep bond between Na PD and SEVENTEEN, as well as the relationship he has with their fans. Here’s hoping they get more chances to work together in the future! – K-Pop News Writer
