Something I love about Taemin is how he challenges the standards just by being himself. Instead of just trying to be like everyone else, which is something a lot of idols struggle with, he just does his own thing. He isn't afraid to look beautiful or dance gracefully, he just embraces his assets. Same thing goes for his backup dancers. If you look at other idols, you'll often see the men only dance hard and rough looking choreography during the rough-sounding parts of a song, while the women will dance gracefully when there are soft vocals, but not with Taemin's performances, since he switches it up. That's one of the things that make his performances so special. He also isn't afraid to get touchy with his male dancers and dance together with them, which is also not something you see that often, since most male idols will only allow women to touch them that way during performances because they worry too much about what others may think, even tho it's a performance and performance is art, meaning you can experiment. Furthermore, how he uses and dances with his backup dancers is always so respectful and he has great chemistry with them, which is something you can immediately see during a performance. There are too many male idols who will just use and treat female backup dancers as sex objects and grind on them during performances and abhorrent things like that but Taemin empowers them instead, even giving them their own dance breaks etc. In conclusion, Taemin is amazing and everyone can and should learn from him.
Applause 👏🏼 for his backup dancers. Great how everyone danced as one unit. Taemin show all his dancers respect and yes, also gives them their own spotlight.
