Professional Dancer Reacts To Taemin "Move" [Rehearsal + Performance] 

"Why so farrrr????" 1. Because there are already videos scheduled. I post K-Pop reaction videos on Monday and Wednesday only. This gives me an opportunity to share the other content i'm passionate about for this channel. 2. Releasing content like this allows me to keep the channel consistent and focus on other projects other than trying to keep a daily youtube schedule since I run two businesses. It's all a part of my quarterly releases. Which you can see here: airtable.com/shrkUSn8a34srUFLh. (Patrons get access to the master lists, and early releases) 3. Traditional studios and movies promote their content months in advance prior to the premiere to help build anticipation. The public already knows the date of when these movies are coming out. I know I'm no big-time studio, but why can't I take a similar approach to my content? Want early access to content? Become a patron! patreon.com/emeroyb

The look and feel for "Move" is very specific, it's supposed to be androgynous and gender neutral. Early in his career when Taemin was growing up in SHINee he was known for his feminine look. The industry thought it was novel and cute to dress Taemin up as a girl and play up his feminine features. (And if you ever saw Taemin dressed like a girl, you would see why. He really could pass as a girl, especially when he was younger.) Which ended up giving him a real complex about the fact that people never saw him as a masculine man. It took him a long time to accept that he was known for his looks and to come to terms with the fact that everyone thought of him as a "pretty boy," etc. So, at this point in his career as a 24 year old (He is 27 now) he was trying to make a statement about how he has now come to terms with just being himself and not caring what people think. Dancing is art and movement has no gender. "Move" features all female dancers because the whole point of the song and dance is supposed to be about crossing gender boundaries and how just because you are male doesn't mean your dance has to be hyper masculine. Taemin uses what is traditionally considered more feminine dance moves to show how you can merge both feminine and masculine styles together to create something that can't be singled out as one gender or the other. This dance allowed a more mainstream audience to start to embrace less traditional gender roles within Kpop. "Move" is one of Taemin's most famous choreographies and it has become the dance he is most recognized for. This dance has inspired what is known as the "Move disease," and it is said that the dance is so catchy that you can't help but try to imitate it. There are literally hundreds of videos online of people attempting cover dances to this song. (It is on the level of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" dance and some of the most famous TiK Tok dance challenges.) But no matter how good of a dancer they are, it is quickly apparent that there is just something about the way Taemin moves that can't be duplicated. Taemin is Taemin and there is no one else like him. The dance is never as sharp or precise as the way Taemin does it. That is why he is hands down considered one of the top two BEST dancers in the entire industry. As Taemin has said numerous times in interviews and on variety shows, the key point in "Move's" choreography is literally supposed to be to stare into the camera like you are trying to seduce the person who is watching. So, you are right, that is exactly what Taemin is doing. Yes, the female dancer in the "Move" MV is Sugawara Koharu and she is the choreographer for this song. She has worked with Taemin a lot over the years. She is the one that also choreographed Taemin's dance for his songs "Want," "Flame of Love" and "Sayonara Hitori" and helped choreograph Taemin and her performance on the competition program Hit the Stage -- "Devil" performance, etc., and she was one of 3 or 4 choreographers who helped choreograph "Criminal." Taemin and Sugawara are really good friends. She was also the choreographer for SHINee's song "Good Evening," among others. She loves working with Taemin because they are a lot alike, and that is one of the reasons why she has been featured in several of Taemin's projects. Plus, Taemin and all the members of SHINee, are also one of the most famous artists in Japan and they all speak fluent Japanese, so they have no problem communicating through dance or language. :D Taemin has worked hard to become the magnificent and unique performer and person that we know him as today. But there really is no one that pushes him or holds him to a higher standard then himself. Taemin has said that he really has never taken a true vacation since he was a trainee -- he started with SM Entertainment when he was around 11 years old -- and he doesn't know what to do if he isn't constantly working and training. The thing that he hates the most is when people assume he has had it easy because he is part of a big and powerful company and he is so naturally talented. As he has said, there has never been anything that has come easy to him and he has only gotten to where he is today because he has worked hard to accomplish everything. He is constantly pushing himself to become the best of the best in everything he does. Taemin's choreography is very much influenced by him. Although he has input in almost everything he does, he has choreographers that come up with the choreography for most of his dances and he then infuses it with his own ideas and style and makes it uniquely his. The way Taemin dances is just the way he moves. His movements are effortless. As you have noticed, if you watch Taemin dance a lot, you will see that no matter who choreographs the dance, it will always be very Taemin-like. Many choreographers who have worked with him over the years have said that, with Taemin you can't help but allow him to move in whatever way his body takes him. Taemin is art in every sense of the word. :D Taemin's style of dance can't be defined. As he has said, he has worked his entire career to create a style of dance that is unlike anything in the Kpop industry. And I would argue that that now extends to the entire industry of dance. Taemin started out as a self-taught popper and locker without any dance training, and, even then, as a trainee it was clear his skills as a dancer went far beyond the average dancer. Over the years, as you see with "Move," he has infused those popping and locking skills into his now more contemporary style of dance. But, when it comes to dancing, he can do it all and there is no one better at it than him. Taemin's talents are one reason why SHINee are one of the top groups in the industry and why they have such legendary status. SHINee is made up of some of the absolute best singers, dancers and performers in the entire industry. With more than 12 years since their debut, they still command one of the top spots. When Taemin debuted in 2008 as part of SHINee he was only 14 years old and, yet, he was already known as one of the best dancers in the industry, and he has only gotten more magnificent over the years. The one thing you need to know about the members of SHINee is that they ALWAYS sing live. The ONLY thing they are not good at is lip syncing so they avoid it at all costs. So when you see any of the members of SHINee performing, 95% of the time they will be singing live no matter how intense the choreography is. They have trained their whole career to build endurance and stamina so they are able to sing live while performing nonstop for 3+ hours straight and still sound flawless. They will never sound out of tune or out of breath. It may be shocking because they sound so perfect even though they are dancing so intensely, but that is why they are such legends and why they are so highly respected in the industry. SHINee are referred to as CDINee or CD-eaters, because they sound even better live then they do in their studio recordings. It is a running joke between fans and the members that you can tell when the members are lip syncing because they are so bad at it. (If you ask any of the members, what is something you are not good at? One of the very first things they will say is, "I am horrible at lip syncing." -- I have heard the members say this multiple times with my own ears.) Other Idols and audio sound technicians, etc. who have witnessed the members of SHINee performing live are always blown away, because in the parts of the song where most singers would take a break and rely on the backing track vocals to cover their voices so they can catch their breath and recover, this is where the SHINee members actually ramp it up and become their most powerful. That is why even as rookies, senior artists would stop what they were doing to watch SHINee's performances on music programs because all 5 of the members' vocal talent is that impressive. SHINee live is perfection and it's literally referred to as the SHINee standard. It's the standard that all other groups strive to reach and SHINee are the vocalists that all other artists try to emulate. That is why Taemin is so outstanding and why he is considered the ultimate idol of idols that all other artists look up to. :D

Taemin is just unreal and this choreo will forever be iconic.

Taemin is widely considered among the best dancers in Korea. Other idols look up to him and are inspired by him. Idols fanboy over him. He's been performing since childhood and professionally with SHINee since he was like... 14? He's just effortlessly awesome, a legend in Kpop. :) And look at that crowd, all there for him. He's a god among Kpop gods.

A man that knows his body best. He knows how to angle his body to create beautiful ascetic movements.

There's a reason why Taemin is called, "Korea's Michael Jackson," and this song cemented it for the entire world to see.

You should literally react to every Taemin dance practice ever created.

Those girls shined as well as Taemin. The fact that they were all so in sync shows how hard they worked to perfect it and how good of a dancer they all are.

Did you notice that even in a practice Taemin never takes his eyes off the camera.

Taemin is called the King of Kpop for a reason. Nobody like him.👑🔥

Taemin is definitely THE BEST kpop dancer

I just love people admiring taemini like he deserves every word of praise that exists

taemin the best dancer of Korea and maybe of the world the mos sexy performer he kills me with his moves his killer stare and those sexy and elegant movesmy hormones suffer everytime i see him! rgds from Chile!

Koharu Sugawara choreographed this... honestly she's the reason I became a fan of Taemin... I love everything she does and she's done quite a bit of work for him and Shinee

Effortless strength is a perfect description for Taemin

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who lost my entire mind at seeing Taemin's entrance in the live concert video. His presence is incredible

yeah in the MV that is Koharu Sugawara the choreographer she's also a good friend with Taemin

Watching this made me emotional because you absolutely nailed it with understanding what he was going for. The whole concept for this choreo was to tear down the barrier between "girl" choreo and "boy" choreo, to say all dance is for everyone. Hes come such a long way in being secure in his own identity - having long hair back in Sherlock era led to him getting misgendered and emasculated often - so it means a lot to see him embracing it now and working to push the boundaries, and to see his message came across without needing explanation

Taemin is a KING 👑. Graceful, smooth, effortless and strong. He is ART

maybe not so common these days but the influence of previous icons of androgyny like Prince and Bowie is surely part of the inspiration that's continuously poured in building his artistic identity when one day you see his debut piece Danger i think you'll be surprised at how outside his usual style it is an yet he incorporates to it the suaveness he is known for as only a pro could, many including me were surprised that he'd start out his solo career by taking such a risk by stepping outside his staple but its an admirable power move and declaration of confidence that he prioritised showcasing his individuality, and proves himself time and time again when he comes out with something unpredictable and the one connecting constant is his unfaltering skill to own it, to make it his so thoroughly one would believe he's responsible for its birth.

It was his solo concert, so all those people were there for just him 😊

" exuding very like an OP character... Like effortless and strong." I never found anyone who have accurately described Taemin in this Move era. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Fun fact, when he was in america he also taught this piece at Millenium dance complex LA

Taemin's solo concerts are the best!

something taemin has talked about is trying to play around with the conceits of masculinity and feminists, especially in move. he has pretty androgynous features and used to have really long hair, so he got teased a lot for looking like a girl, but over the years it’s something he’s decided to embrace. he has a song called “pretty boy” with lyrics that talk about it a little bit and i think it’s super cool that he pushes the boundaries, both with the choreo and his styling.

Hands down one of the most talented artists/soloists in the entire industry.

That dance practice video is magical.

I’m an army, but this dance practice makes me fall in love with taemin, his body control is insaneeee

Taemin is having a comeback on MAY 18 - ADVICE. It’s said to be the fastest choreo in SM. Please react to it when it gets released 🙏

Taemin is King of smoothness! Everything just flows and is just so pleasing to the eyes.

Like, taemin and his performances are just *art*

Move is such a masterpiece. I'm still hung up over it

Taemin is simply the best. He dances with so much emotion and he executes every move so gracefully, fluidly and elegantly (making it look so effortlessly). He doesn't just make his dances masterpieces but he becomes a masterpiece himself once he dance. Truly awesome 👍

Taemin dancing just blows my mind in general. You gotta watch more of his choreo vids

I LOVE YOU reacction Taemin, my King the King, best Dancer of Korea forever.... Thank you

LEE TAEMIN!! He´s the king of kpop!! My god! He grown up so fast :')

Everything this man does is iconic! Their isn't a single person doing it like Taemin!

You should watch Taemin's live concerts. He is a phenomenal performer, the complete package!

Taemin and his girl gang will forever be iconic 🙌 I'm glad you finally got to this one! This song and choreo absolutely consumed the kpop world when it came out.

Taemin is the KING! NOTHING he cannot do. His passion and perfection, along with his heart, makes his performance breathtaking. In my opinion, he is just pure talent. Smoothe......no one.....ah, Taemin has my heart.

Taemin's new mini-album "Advice" will drop on May 18. Please check it out when it comes out, the choreo is insane!!

Taemin is art, he is perfect

Taemin is An *ART*

This reaction was a long time coming. I knew you would love this choreo. This is actually his most well known song in Korea.

I love this song and this choreo. Taemin has, at various points in his career, explored androgyny and what masculine and feminine really mean and Move is one of the better examples of that. And yes, that's the choreographer, Koharu Sugawara, that he's dancing with in the MV. This was really fun to watch, thanks.

In Taemin's solo concert, `OFF-SICK`, 'Move' was first released. Yes, what you watched is the first performance of 'Move'. This performance is a legend.

This is by far his easiest choreography (technically), but the musicality, the charisma and the artistry is what elevates it and makes it iconic. He's such a brilliant dancer, I hope you check out more of him. He had a comeback just yesterday!

Taemin is seriously such a king

Taemin is a perfectionist 💗

his body line is so fucking beautiful

Taemin likes performing this song because he said it doesn’t make him sweat haha

The most iconic choreo and song. The most unique artist 🌠

Great analysis as always! Mark the date, on may 18th Taemin is releasing his new song Advice, and let me tell you, is INSANE! I watched it in his online Beyond Live concert and I was blown away. It's a whole other level. The attitude, the wardrobe the complexity of the choreo is nuts. It's probably the best song/choreo/performance I've ever seen. Simply brilliant, absolutely outstanding

I open this video not because I want to see the reaction to his performance cause I know how great he is. But just because I want to listen to other people praising him.

TAEMIN IS UNIQUE !! HE IS VERY TALENTED , THE BEST ARTIST FOR ME !!!

I love this choreography, the moviments look so simple but it shows Taemins strength as a dancer! I believe there are little kpop artists that would give this style of performance

I love how he even talked about his clothes cause I really love it too hahaha Thank you for the reaction!

Speaking of rain. He did actually perform this song at an event in the middle of the rain and it was legendary ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uAXJQ9y-ljc.html Instead of making it hard for him to perform, it looked more like an intended stage effect.

'strength displayed through subtlety' - exactly! this! it's so rare to see dances or choreos like this. people think hard hitting choreos displays the strength of a dancer and that's so wrong imo. it's so difficult to move with slow and subtle movements because you're prone to make and notice more mistakes by losing the balance than hard hitting and fast choreos. :/

Taemin's collaboration with Koharu Sugawara, chef's kiss. Thank you for your reaction and analysis, as always.

The body control needed to make this look as good as this does is INSANE. It's the difference between looking subtle and alluring and just looking like an octopus falling out of a tree

Oh you added the mv! That's great. This is the song and choreo that really made me love and pay full attention to Taemin. I'm so glad you saw everything and liked it.

Waiting for this. taemin also will have a solo cb album on May 18th! so excited!

I dont own the song, the choreo, the voice or the face of MOVE but this video is still boosting my ego for being a fan. Each element brought something fresh to the industry and together its just mind blowing. Love hearing your analysis. 🤩

Taemin is definitely a god tier performer in industry! I want to recommend you to react to rookie group, DKB, especially to their dance practices. They self-choreographed themselves and doing stunts too and their songs are all so good! Hope you can react to them and more people will know them, thank you :)

Ppl here don't forget to check out Taemin's new mini album dropping this May 18th (title track "Advice")!!💖

Such an iconic song/choreography ! Taemin is one of the first kpop artists I discovered last year and I was astonished by his talent, he is the true king of kpop ❤️ What you said about pushing boundaries and his feminine masculinity that is still badass and not toxic echoes what he said in interviews ! Love your reaction/analysis videos, just subscribed !

Taemin is in his own league. There is no other like him.

this choreo changed the industry

"It's like storm troopers are shooting them for their sexiness but theyre missing cuz theyre storm troopers" 🤣🤣

Taemin is called The King of Kpop for a reason

Can’t wait for this one 👀👀👀

i love taemin's effortlessness and yes finesse is definitely something i associate with taemin. for the performance, my favorites would have to be at the fashion show or dream concert. thanks for the detailed analysis as always. i hope you can react to advice too (out 5/18) because the performance is so good!

taemin is basically the definition of suave

Thank you for your reaction !! Taemin is actually coming back with a new album called ADVICE on May 18th ! I would love to see you reaction to it !

Move choreo is one of my favs kpop choreos ever!!!!

I was waiting for you to do MOVE it's still so epic ...but I recently saw Taemin last concert online before military I'm going to miss him he was amazing

this is ultimate, april (or may?) is gonna be my mONTH YOOOO! move, to put it simply, is just too good of a choreography for me to perceive as real so good luck convincing me this exists-

I don't know why, but I felt like a proud mom watching the whole video, and smiling like stupid😅😆 Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece. our Taeminnie is pure talent ♡

MOVE es un performer coreografía increíble.icono en el KPOP TAEMIN se lució .Siempre demostrando que es el rey de reyes de la danza en la industria .Es ARTE 😍

You should watch his performance on Seoul Fashion Week, it was his first Move stage also his performance on Dream Concert in 2018 the rain make it more badass. Personally both of these stages are my most favorite Move performance

Thank you for this video. Thank you for appreciating Taemin so much. ❤️

Taemin always makes me think of Fred Astaire--that graceful, effortlessness is amazing

What I appreciate in K-pop and Taemin in particular is the new image of masculinity that they gave to the world. Seeing the popularity of guys like BTS with the female audience proves that a lot of women don't go for the macho type anymore. BTS are well known to select their clothes from the designer's women collections. Taemin is possibly the best at pulling the masculine/female look with his dance moves hard/soft and is overall aura. After all, women have been doing it for almost a century now, it's time for men to "Move" too.

He defies description. His moves are so fluid. With his every move, you're drawn into him. It's like a strong, sleek, sexy cat 🐆has taken over. The power and raw sexuality he exudes, is terrifyingly exciting. He's an experience! Bow to the King!🕺👑

Growing up, Taemin had a feminine face and physique. In an interview, he said that he wanted to go for an androgynous look for move and remove stereotypes of dance and art when it comes to gender.

Yes...he is best all time...!!

This MV made Taemin #2 on my Ult bias list for males right behind Jimin. Also I don't think the lady was late on the head movement, it looks like the movements all start at a different time. Kinda like a wave.

Taemin is untouchable.

If you'd like to request a reaction please check out Emeroy's patreon or the recent post the community tab.

can't wait to see your reaction to his new mv Advice !!! thanks!!!

Taemin body line is insane

Yo im so im so hype for this one! Please do more Shinee reaction!!! Like sherlock, dont call me, and atlantis 😍😍

I remember you said you were going to react to this song months ago and I was expecting for this video every single day since then 🥺♥️

I love your appreciation for the staging

Move was amazing and I absolutely loved it, but his dance techniques were speechless in the song IDEA. This is my first time watching your rxn and I really enjoyed it! Thank you for the video🙌

Thank you for your reaction and please waiting for Taeminnie new track ADVICE it's will release this 18 ^^

I LOVE the format where someone does an initial reaction AND THEN an analysis

Taemin is the best dancer in K-pop you can't convince me otherwise

Thanks a lot for your reaction, Taemin-nah is a whole package. A super Artist/Performer...«3
