JAKARTA - The Lathi Challenge, which is being loved by the public, was also carried out by professional dancer Didik Nini Thowok. On Tuesday, June 23, he took the action to do the Lathi Challenge through his personal YouTube channel.

Like warganet, Didi also transformed, from make-up to the costumes he was wearing. Interestingly, he also wears a variety of masks. Aged 65 years old, the dance maestro's movements still look flexible and neat.

His appearance became the talk of netizens on social media until Didik Nini Thowok's name became a trending topic on Twitter. Not a few netizens like Didik's Lathi Challenge cover are even considered to be much more attractive than the cover in general.

In the video description, the dancer who was born on November 13 wrote, "Congratulations to Weird Genius for his work that has inspired many people, including grandparents." On Instagram, he also wrote inspiration for doing Lathi because of the many misconceptions such as the song Mocopat Lingsir Wengi which is considered inviting kuntilanak as well as Lathi who is said to be a devil worshiper.

"Learn, study, and learn if you don't know Javanese, then learn so you don't fail to understand it. Let's love that we are Smart and CULTURAL Millennial Generation. Remember that culture is the identity of a great nation,"

Didik also told a little about Japanese culture where there are similar symbols regarding the anger of a woman called Hannya Mask and Tsunokakushi. He also wears the mask in his Lathi Challenge video.

He also added the moral message of the Lathi song, namely be careful with a woman who is angry. The video was also heavily commented on by netizens who praised Didik Nini Thowok's irreplaceable shrewdness.

Lathi is the newest song from the DJ Weird Genius group consisting of Eka Gustiwana, Reza Oktovian, and Gerald and Sara Fajira. Released in March 2020, this song became popular thanks to the challenges carried out on the TikTok video service. To date, Lathi's music videos have been viewed more than 63 million times.
