Which photo works best?

For this site, use one photo of one adult. A full-body image gives the model more information about your outfit and proportions.

  • Face the camera in even light. Keep your face sharp and large enough to see; avoid sunglasses, masks and strong beauty filters.
  • Leave room around your arms and legs. Avoid cropped feet, hidden hands and objects covering the body.
  • Choose the clothes you want to appear in the dance. This workflow aims to carry over your appearance and outfit while following the example room and choreography.
  • Use your own photo or an adult’s photo with permission. Group photos and pet photos are not part of this site’s solo workflow. Results can vary during turns and occlusion.

Where did the Under Arrest Dance trend start?

The dance comes from ILLIT’s “You’re Under Arrest” (체포하겠어), the title track of BREAK EVEN. Whistle sounds and playful hand gestures feature in its challenge. The timeline below follows published reports and the official performance.

  1. A challenge teaser introduced whistle sounds, finger-gun gestures and a whistle-blowing movement, according to Star Today’s October 7 report.

The official challenge and the solo reference shown on this site are different versions. Our generator follows the example dance; the police-costume prompt below is a separate workflow for external tools.

Try a different solo version: the police-costume dance

This version requests a new police-style costume, a car-park setting, a cap toss and whistle gestures. It is not the prompt used by this site’s Generate button.

1 adult photo · Clear face · Knees-up or full bodyTarget: 10 s · 9:16 · 720p if available
  1. 01Open an external video tool that accepts a reference image and a text prompt. Upload one adult photo as the first reference image; [Image 1] refers to that upload, not a filename to paste.
  2. 02Paste the complete prompt below. Set a 10-second vertical clip and 720p where supported. Enable generated audio if the tool offers it; text alone does not enable unsupported settings.
  3. 03Check the external provider’s price before generating. Review the face, cap, hands and ending before downloading. Revisions or retries may incur another charge there.

Complete video prompt (English)

Animate the person in [Image 1]: a cheeky K-pop police point dance challenge in a modest police-style costume. One continuous vertical 9:16 shot with no cuts, like a real phone video of a dance challenge on a tripod at chest height, photorealistic.

The dancer is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), and the same build, so their friends recognize them at once. The dancer is an adult. They wear a modest police-style dance costume: a navy short-sleeved button-up shirt, a slim black tie, straight navy trousers, black boots, a navy peaked cap with a black visor, and a small silver toy whistle on a black cord around the neck. No badge, no star, no patch, no name tag and no words or letters on it; never the clothes from [Image 1]. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last, also in the head turns and the wink. Never morph. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the dancer is that animal standing upright on its hind legs, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person.

The place: a plain grey corrugated metal roller-shutter wall in a clean concrete car park, a smooth grey floor, yellow and black hazard stripes along the base of the wall, cool white light.

The moves, sharp and playful on the beat:
0-1.5 s: full body, a stern playful face; on the first beat they grab the cap by the visor and toss it away out of the frame.
1.5-4 s: hands on the hips, knees bent, the funny dog-leg shake: both knees swing in and out fast, the feet stay planted.
4-6 s: they blow the toy whistle twice on the whistle beats, cheeks puffed, the other hand pointing straight at the camera.
6-8 s: one arm shoots up on a high diagonal, the other hand on the hip, one lower leg kicks up behind; then both hands frame the face.
8-10 s: they step toward the camera, point a playful finger gun (one bare hand, index finger out, thumb up) at the lens, 'shoot' with a wink and blow on the fingertip. The face is large and sharp at the end: exactly the face from [Image 1].

Audio: an original upbeat, bouncy K-pop style dance beat with crisp police whistle hits and finger snaps; no known song, no lyrics, no singing, no talking. Exactly one dancer. The finger gun is only a bare-hand sign: no gun or weapon anywhere. No police officers, police car or handcuffs. No badge and no words or letters anywhere. No famous people, no children. One head, two arms, two legs, five fingers per hand. No captions, no logos, no watermark.

External workflow, not tested by this site. Model support, duration, resolution, audio, watermarks and fees depend on the provider. The prompt asks for an original beat, not the ILLIT recording. Its animal clause is retained in the supplied text; it does not add pet support to this site.
