All overdue wages have been paid to the migrant workers who staged a special protest a week before by performing a popular horse-riding dance in the street in Central China's Hubei province, the Wuhan Evening News reported.

Lu Yongxiong on Jan 21 led several migrant workers and copied the actions of South Korean rapper Psy's viral dance video "Gangnam Style" in front of a building they had constructed, trying to win public attention and get paid.

Under the coordination of government departments, which noted the wide media coverage, all 40-odd workers received a total payment of 206,000 yuan ($33,000) on Monday. Lu and his team were paid 44,000 yuan.

To celebrate their success, more construction workers danced the dance again in front of the building on Monday.
