Hotpot Chain Haidilao Introduces ‘Boyband’ Made Up of Gorgeous Waiters for CNY

Going to Haidilao isn’t just about tucking into a bubbling pot of broth with your family and friends, they offer an insane level of customer service including a nail salon, screen protector services, and even their viral ‘dancing noodle men’. Now, the iconic chain is taking things to the next level by introducing its very own boyband for the Chinese New Year season.

They recently released a video on their Weibo and Xiaohongshu accounts with a music video titled ‘Ke Mu Si’ featuring five dashing waiters.

As reported by CNA, the men are seen dressed in the chain’s uniform of a long-sleeved white shirt, an apron, and black pants while welcoming viewers enthusiastically.

Then, the men sport chic black outfits and perfectly tousled hair as they bust out impressive dance moves and could be mistaken for a new K-pop boy group. According to Haidilao’s post, the men are actual waiters from different cities in China.

It received enthusiastic response from Weibo users, with one commenting, “Haidilao is indeed my favourite. I hope that they can also provide the service of handsome men with their food *laughs*. Another asked, “Will the five of them have a tour?”

Fun fact, the ‘Haidilao dance’ when waiters receive a tip is so well-known that it was performed by Rujin and Ricky of the K-pop boy group ZEROBASEONE.

We hope that they were paid more than their waiter’s wages for the music video!
