Yeom Se-been, Ha Ji-won, and Woo Su-han—three members of the Rakuten Monkeys cheerleading squad—were invited to film a music video for a new song meant to encourage good handwashing habits. The Korean stars sang entirely in Chinese for the first time, promoting good hygiene with their characteristically enthusiastic choreography. The song will even make its way into KTVs nationwide. The trio gave a sneak peek into their recording session, where they shared their struggles practicing their Chinese pronunciation and singing.
Scrubbing the left, scrubbing the right—this catchy dance hopes to catch on as the next national health anthem. The three Rakuten Monkeys cheerleaders Yeom Se-been, Ha Ji-won, and Woo Su-han are here to teach everyone the right way to wash your hands.
The trio gave a sneak peak into their recording session. You can tell it’s really them singing these Chinese lyrics! But it was a challenge getting it down.

There are lots of sounds that fall between “wu” and “o,” so I still haven’t quite found the one that sits between the two. I think I still need more practice. For Koreans, blending the “wu” and “o” sounds together for words like shou and dou seems to require some practice.

My pronunciation of tuichang kept slipping, so it was all a mess. I honestly never figured out which was correct. I had to rerecord it.
The three cheerleaders were invited to record a music video to promote handwashing. It was the first time they sang a song entirely in Chinese, which will eventually be available on KTV systems. The trio are excited for their fans to be able to dance along with them.

The moves are very simple and repeat a lot. Plus, these are the movements we always do when we wash our hands, so everyone can easily follow along. The song is also really catchy. I think it would be great if everyone can make their own videos as well.
Woo Su-han
Rakuten Monkeys cheerleader
Please sing along with us at karaoke! After learning it, we hope every time you wash your hands, you’ll think of us.
Through this simple and upbeat song, anyone can master good handwashing habits while also enjoying the irresistible charm of these beloved cheerleaders.
