You should know that Taeyong choreographed the chorus. He likes Afrobeat and thought he could improve upon the original version. He made a demo video in one hour and was given permission to teach the members his choreo almost immediately.
Glad to have you back. Good reaction. Yes, Taeyong (black baseball cap) choreographed the first two choruses, and I think he did a great job. And yes, they use a lot of extra dancers towards the end of the music video. I personally love the performance vid, and would love for you to check it out.
Glad to see you back with the reactions, they have definitely been missed! I highly recommend checking out the dance practices for Baggy Jeans from NCT U, Get a Guitar from Riize, and the performance video for Siren (also Riize) as well :)
Taeyong choregraphed this so this is a bit different from their previous choreos. Their usual choreos are made by professional choreographers but Taeyong has been working on making his choreos for a while now but he could still improve.
always appreciate your transparency in all of your reactions!! you saw where it may have been lacking and gave feedback, even pointing things out I didn’t notice before. yes we have to take into account that it’s a dance practice, but it’s crazy to see the switch when they actually give more energy to each movement. much love and keep it up 🫶🫶
I felt the same way about that one middle ripple. It seemed to go somewhere but then it didn’t but other than that. The pacing of this choreo was amazing.
I see you have reacted to a lot on NCT contents but you've never checked out WayV, their Chinese subunit. Since you loved TEN in BIRTHDAY, you will definitely enjoy WayV cuz it's his NCT subunit.. So please do check them out🙏☺️ Their dance practices are crazy good as well as their performance videos🔥❤️ Kick Back, Turn Back Time and Miracle dance practice and Action Figure performance video are some of my faves.
Got married, been working on two documentaries. Building up my two youtube channels, and got a baby on the way so life has been exciting. Miss you Don, can't wait to keep making history with you bro!
we did miss u i love the point you said when they were going into line, it was not as synced as u would expect, just like the last chorus! i was shocked at how perfect it was! love the video as usual. I recommend u to watch RIIZE Get a guitar dance practice. they are a new group from SM ent. and "get a guitar" is their debut single!
Well since you reacted to nct before you probbably know most sm's dance practices feel like "real" dance practices, meaning that they dont do much expressions or act like they're on stage, unlike some other companies that film their dance practices like a performance video or something. If you want to see expressions you should just react to the dance practice + showcase or stage performance. NCT's usually expressionless and try to do all moves as accurate to the original as possible during dance practices, but you know they're expressive on stage and even improvise when the choreo allows it. For instance, NCT Dream's Beatbox has an "actual" dance practice where they are expressionless and a uniform version where they shot it like a performance vid. I mean no hate, but there's kinda no point complaining about expressions when you know they dont do dance practices like that lol.
