Since it was published on January 30, Balang’s video has garnered more than 15 million views. In it, Balang mimics the moves of the dancers in Justin’s music video for the song. 

After seeing his viral dance videos in the past, Ellen invited him to dance and guest on her show in May 2015.

Balang made another Ellen show appearance in November, participating in a dance-off with the show’s DJ, tWitch – they danced to Silento’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).”

During the November episode, he said he has been teaching Zumba classes to stay healthy.

Balang has previously appeared on It’s Showtime‘s “Mini Me” segment. – Rappler.com
