How to Make the ILLIT You’re Under Arrest AI Dance
Make your own AI version of the ILLIT You’re Under Arrest challenge from one photo: steps, photo tips, lengths and credits, and how to post it.
Last updated: 2026-11-11
All you need for the ILLIT You’re Under Arrest AI dance is one photo: of yourself, a friend who said yes, your dog or cat, or a plush toy. Upload it to the generator, choose a length, and a few minutes later you get a vertical video of the challenge with ILLIT’s original song, ending on the finger-gun pose.
Make the You’re Under Arrest AI Dance in Three Steps
- Pick and upload one photo. JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC all work (HEIC is converted for you). Upload from your computer, or tap "From phone" and scan the QR code to send a photo straight from your phone’s camera roll. Sign-in is with your Google account.
- Choose a length and confirm the photo. 6 seconds costs 6 credits (the hip shake into the finger guns), 10 seconds costs 13 credits (starting from the whistle), and the full 15 seconds costs 20 credits (from the side point and leg shake to the finger guns). Tick the box to confirm the photo is you, your pet, a plush toy or someone who agreed, that any person shown is 18 or older, and that it’s not a celebrity or public figure.
- Download or share. The video usually takes a few minutes. You get a 720p 9:16 MP4 with no watermark: download it, or share it to TikTok from the result screen. It stays in your account, so you can come back for it later.
If a render fails, it’s retried once for free, and if it fails again your credits come back automatically.
Photo Tips for a Better Likeness
- One subject per photo. One person, one pet or one plush works best; group shots make it unclear who should dance.
- Face clearly visible. Front-facing, eyes (or your pet’s face) in view, nothing covering it.
- Good light. Daylight from a window beats a dark room or a bright light behind you.
- Half-body or full-body is great. The dance uses arms, hips and legs, so showing more of the body helps.
- Wear what you want to dance in. Your clothes carry into the video; the AI doesn’t put you in a police uniform.
- For pets, get down to their level. A shot at eye height with the face sharp gives the AI the most to work with.
Which Length to Pick
Every length ends on the finger guns at the camera, so even the shortest clip lands the punchline.
- 15 seconds (20 credits). The longest version: the side point with the 개다리춤 leg shake, the arm up, the whistle with a hip sway, the side step and look back, the hair flip and kick, the hands-on-hips shake and the finger guns. Pick it for a full challenge post.
- 10 seconds (13 credits). Starts at the whistle and keeps the hair flip, the hip shake and the ending. Good for a quick Reel or a duet reply.
- 6 seconds (6 credits). Just the hands-on-hips shake into the finger guns. Handy for testing a photo, or for a pet clip that loops.
Other Ways to Make It
- Learn it and film it yourself. The original way: watch ILLIT’s official challenge, practice the cap toss, leg shake, whistle and finger guns, and film in a garage or against a plain wall. Free with a phone stand or a friend filming, but it takes practice and filming time, and it doesn’t work for your cat.
- A general AI video model. You can try to describe the routine to a general image-to-video model yourself. You’d need to write out every beat, line up the song yourself and test until the moves come out right.
- This generator. The routine, the setting and the song are already set up: you only bring the photo and pick a length.
Choose this generator when you want the specific You’re Under Arrest dance without building a scene or writing a prompt from scratch. For a different routine or a custom scene, a general AI video tool may be a better fit.
Posting Your Video
- Keep it vertical. The 9:16 format fits TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts as is.
- The song is already on it. Your clip has ILLIT’s "You’re Under Arrest" on the soundtrack, so you don’t need to add it again.
- Use the challenge hashtags. Fans tag #체포하겠어챌린지, #체포하겠어, #You_re_Under_Arrest, #ILLIT and #아일릿.
- Say it’s AI. Turn on the platform’s AI-generated label or mention it in your caption.
- Make a collab. Make one video of you and one of a friend or your pet, then post them side by side, the way idols post collab challenges.

How-To FAQ
How long does it take? Usually a few minutes. You can leave the page; the video waits in your account.
Which length should I pick? Pick 15 seconds if you want the whole routine, 10 seconds if you want it to start at the whistle, and 6 seconds for just the hip shake and finger-gun punchline. All three end on the finger-gun pose.
Can I choose the background? No. The AI aims for the grey parking garage of the official challenge, but it sometimes keeps the background from your photo.
Can I use the video for ads or sponsored posts? Yes. You may use your videos on your own accounts and commercially, for example in ads, promotions, client work or sponsored posts, subject to our Terms of Service and to the rights of others, such as the person in the photo.
