Darren Espanto, UMD surprise mall shoppers with ‘Dying Inside’ flash mob

Kapamilya singer Darren Espanto startled the quiet afternoon of the mall shoppers when he suddenly appeared at the center of the ground floor of New Farmer’s Plaza, Araneta Center in Quezon City and sang his rendition of ‘Dying Inside’ on Friday, February 2, 2018.

Members of the renowned singing and dance group, the Universal Motion Dancers (UMD), Marco McKinley, James Salas, and Jim Salas joined Espanto and performed their best dance hit in the ’90s.

The mob then started to gather at the center and performed the dance craze.

Mall shoppers said they were surprised by the sudden appearance of the 16-year-old singer and the UMD members.

Meanwhile, James Salas noted that it was the first of the UMD to execute a flash mob and they were happy to know that people still remember their dance steps.

“Actually kahit millenials ngayon, hindi pa rin nawawala ang ’90s na tugtugin. First time nangyari ito sa UMD. Sayang nga lang hindi kami kumpleto dahil busy ‘yung iba. Nakakataba ng puso dahil ‘yung mga tao naalala pa rin ung sayaw namin.”

Espanto, on the other hand, considered the flash mob as ‘very cool’ as it was the first time he did it.

“It was a lot of fun kasi hindi ko pa po na-try mag-flash mob. ‘Yung nakita ko ung reactions ng mga tao na na-surprise sila tapos unti-unti po kaming dumami. It was a lot of fun to meet them po and makasayaw din sila. That’s another thing I found very cool today.”
