## What is the Looks Can Kill trend?

"Looks Can Kill" is the title track of IVE's mini-album of the same name. Starship Entertainment teased a "Girl Hero" concept through early October 2026, IVE started the "Looks Can Kill" challenge on TikTok on October 12 with a preview of the chorus, and the song and its music video were pre-released on October 19, 2026, a week before the full mini-album on October 26. The music video went to No. 1 on YouTube's worldwide music video trending chart right after it went live.

The challenge spread on TikTok before the song was even out: the official challenge posts passed 2.8 million views, and dance covers of the chorus followed under #lookscankill and #ivelookscankill.

The clip on this page is by @danceverse000, posted on October 13, 2026: a solo cover of the chorus in a white dance studio with the song. On AI Dance, the template copies the moves onto your own photo: your face, clothes and background stay, and your body follows the dance beat by beat.

### The moves

A playful hero chorus: finger guns pointed across the body, a hand framing the cheek, quick hip pops side to side, a crossed-leg pose with the knees bent, a sweep of the arms and a big point up to the sky, then a cute hands-on-head pose to finish the line.

## How to make the Looks Can Kill video

1. **Add your photo.** Upload one clear photo of you or a friend, facing the camera, as much of the body in the frame as you can.
2. **Tap Make my video.** The Looks Can Kill dance costs 1 credit. The AI copies the moves onto your photo while you wait, about a few minutes.
3. **Download and post.** You get a 11 second 9:16 MP4. It comes with the dance's music. Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts, and swap the sound inside the app if you like.

## Best photo for Looks Can Kill

- Use a full-body photo, standing, facing the camera, with your feet in the frame.
- Leave some space around you: the dance has wide arm sweeps and a point straight up.
- A cap, a tee and track pants look closest to the original clip.
- A plain wall or an empty room with even light works best.
- One person per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame.

Avoid:

- Group photos, or a second person cut off at the edge
- Faces turned away, covered or in deep shadow
- Blurry or very dark photos
- Heavy filters, stickers or text on the photo

## Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts

- Your video comes with the dance's music. To use the official sound or another one, turn the original sound down when you post. Add "Looks Can Kill" by IVE in TikTok or Reels.
- Start the video right on the chorus, where the finger guns begin.
- Use the trend tags people search for: #lookscankill, #ive and #kpopdance.
- Name the dance in your caption, so people searching for it find your video.
