The brilliant collaboration stage of ASTROŌĆÖs Moon Bin and BillieŌĆÖs Moon Sua has recently gone viral. Being actual siblings, they showed off their close brother-sister chemistry as they gave the iconic ŌĆ£Candy In My YearsŌĆØ cover performance by Baek Ji Young and 2 PMŌĆÖs Ok Taecyeon. ĀK-pop idols usually create those special performances to spice up award ceremonies and festivals.

They also wore matching outfits that played a big role in making the stage more memorable, and their outstanding ideas and flawless performance made their stage talent stand out.

Widely known as one of the hottest idols in the scene, Taemin and Sunmi heightened the sexual tension between them throughout their performance.

The part where the two look at each other and perform the gun-shooting choreography made the stage more iconic than ever.
