1:09 7th (Unforgiven)
5:47 6th (Eve Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife)
10:15 5th (Impurities)
13:54 4th (Blue Flame)
17:37 3rd (Fearless)
22:32 2nd (Antifragile)
27:47 1st (Perfect Night)
31:09 What makes their choreo stick out?
32:31 Outro
-----------------
Today I ranked and thoroughly analyzed every one of Le Sserafim's songs based on their dances/choreography. This includes Antifragile, Perfect Night, Blue Flame, Impurities, Unforgiven, Eve Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife, & Fearless! The only song I didn't include was No Celestial and that's just because I didn't think it'd be fair to rank it since it really only has two pieces of actual choreography (as it's intended to be a more fun moment with the audience than an actual dance).

A few things:
1. Please remember to stay respectful in the comments! If you don't, you'll be blocked (trust me it's not worth the effort since I'll prolly never see it anyways cause I'm no longer the one filtering my comments!) That said, disrespecful doesn't mean disagree, as long as it's with good intent, I'm more than happy to have debates in my comment section :)
2. Don't forget to share your unprovoked kpop opinions/confessions in this google form here ↓ (it'll stay anonymous) May or may not be used for a video 😅 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYRC_43chsGGf-jaJy5_QSeddKauj7Th_sSsyKI-PHNboEsw/viewform?usp=sf_link
3. I'm genuinely sorry for pronouncing Eunchae's name like Yoonchae for the first half of the video. (thx for those who let me know ❤) idek what was going thru my head tbh cause I usually pronounce her name correctly :(
4: Let's js pretend I wrote & said "Eve, Psyche, & the bluebeard's wife" correctly haha 😁
it's time to update bryce!
I doubt you’ll see this but can you tone down the ding sound affect? It hurts and since it’s used so much alongside with the arrow it makes it kinda overwhelming. Sorry if this comes across as rude and thank you for you efforts for this video.
Fearless is very on beat so it was quite fast to learn. It's clean, and easy to calculate move to move. But I've never thought of how much the dance emphasizes the music
Honestly while editing the video I realized js how much I loved the Fearless choreo so much so that I considered changing my ranking LOL
Love the video, personally I would’ve ranked Eve higher just because I feel the weirdness of the choreo matches the weirdness of the song. It’s a song with abrupt stops and changes and I think the choreo fits that. Also the insane timing on these girls for this song is so satisfying
So, you must be a weird person 😁
@@anistardi yes.
The last part of the analysis is really on point. Watching lesserafim's performance makes you question who really is the main dancer or who is more skilled, but the choreography actually helped in letting the members highlight their own charisma making it look like everyone is really good in dancing.
Thank you for this and I'm so happy you stayed the whole time 😭Also I'm glad you understood what I was going for in my overall theme cause a lot of ppl took my critiques from earlier in the video as the entire thing being a straight up hate vid and ran with it (I'm guessing they didn't even watch the end tbh) But anyways, thanks for the comment 😁❤
I think a ranking of Itzy's choreographies would be very interesting, and would love to see you analyze them if you are willing to!
Up
definitely!!! i’d love to see an itzy choreo analysis too
omg yess!!
Your attention to detail is incredible! Especially when you point out different people dancing to the lyrics vs the beat of the song, I swear that’s the coolest thing, which I would never even think to look for
Ballet do be like that… I had such a hard time learning kpop dances when I first tried it because I was used to each move having a name, and being able to hear “piqué arabesque, chassé, tour jeté” and knowing the exact series of like four relatively involved movements to do, whereas kpop dances felt like argh! everything is its own thing that you have to learn all on its own! (Starting with a fast, relatively complicated dance like DNA probably didn’t help…)
But really, it’s so fun that there’s so much freedom in what can be done
You should make a video about how tik tok ruined the trajectory of kpop choreo. There was such momentum, especially with 4th gen going wild and breaking bones, that came to a disconnecting halt when tik tok challenges became their companies primary target. For example, Lisa is the best dancer in BP. Prior to her solo, she would do dance performances for her solo section of concerts. The chorus choreo of Lalisa completely disregards that she finally had the chance to shine and instead focused on simple. Another example is Treasure Dararari, Itzy None of My Business, and even Unforgiven by Le Sserafim. It ruins the momentum when certain songs go hard in the choreo and then the chorus comes on and it is very clear they are meant for ig purposes and it ruins it.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD VID IDEA BRO! I'll make sure to credit you in the vid if I make one about this, but omg this was such good timing because I was struggling to think of other video ideas ❤
@@DiceyBrycie glad to help. You should also add Savage to the list because I'm watching your æspa video and noticed it fits the bill
We NEED a New Jeans choreography analysis, PLS make it come true😭😭😭
Unforgiven's coreography was truly unforgiven
@@bubblesserawould you like to elaborate on it? /Nm
I really like talking abt le sserafim's coreography:)
The Unforgiven Choreography was not bad and I liked it, Unforgiven both as a song and Choreo is so unbelievably OVERLY hated. Its actually insane. And people are so damn OVER dramatic, y'all be acting like its the worst song/choreo you've ever seen/heard. I really don't get the over hate for it, its incredibly catchy and addicting.
@@KOOLICIOUSFACECARD it's their worst title track, my opinion of course.
ridiculously repetitive and honestly the lyrics are kinda cringe. coming from someone who has to like the lyrics to like a song half the time
@@bubblesseraI understand you may like the smoothness and the way it looks but in my opinion even tho unforgiven is a very good song , the choreography looks awkward and stiff
Seems like a bunch of random embarassing moves put together with few good parts that don't last long
@@KOOLICIOUSFACECARDLMAO first of all , I like unforgiven I just think the choreography is mediocre
Second , people 'over hate it' and 'act like it's the worst' because it IS the worst coreography from le sserafim,not the worst coreography ever but the worst from this group
That just means the fans are so used to amazing coreography that seeing such coreo as mid as unforgiven is disappointing and surprising at last .
A coreography being catchy doesn't make it good , makes it tiktok friendly .
Antifragile is solid,clear and overtake awesome until the end of yunjin's part in the last chorus to be honest 😭
What's wrong with Yunjin's last chorus?
@@animeluverprincessI said AFTER yunjin's PART not chorus
After yunjin's part is the last chorus , which is Sakura's
The last chorus was uncreative and boring with the catlike moves, but it's ok since it doesn't last long and I can't rlly think of anything else
The choreographer prob just ran out of ideias for it and it didn't matter that much since it was the end of the song
@@random_teengirlSee this hurts bc these moves were actually from Eunchae 😭 She must’ve been excited to put a piece of choreo in the song so this a lil sad thinking about that lol
I really like how in neither the aespa or le sserafim analysis you NEVER made a comment about a members skills or anything like that, i think it really proves that your point is learning and analyzing and not just finding reasons to talk about them. I saw your post on how people were accusing you of hating and what not, which i really disagree with and im sad you wont continue this series because i really enjoyed your analysis and your way of explaining. Good luck with whatever youre doing now!!
I really like that you're paying attention to details and explain very clearly about your reasoning! Would love to see Gfriend dance analysis in detail like this if possible.
Agree. For having even members, they have some creative formations and they all work well together Despite the hard choreo
not me thinking that perfect night is their worst choreo bc of how basic and repetitive the chorus moves are lmaooo always interesting to see completely opposite takes
The details to these is incredible. Now I'd manifest similar analysis for ITZY choreographies. Itzy have really strong formations, would love to know your views on them. ❤🎉
fearless still remains as my favorite choreography just because of how seamless it is. it’s almost perfect and so satisfying to watch. love the video!
I love this kind of videos that focus on technical aspects in K-pop dance. They are so informative, and I appreciate the arguments. Please continue making these videos.
I LOVE UR EDITING
it’s so hilarious and engaging and provides the perfect break between conversations abt the dance
I LOVE your chaotic editing
Note about 2:36: I remember in a video, not sure which, one of the members explain that the point move in the chorus where they do that dog thing is supposed to represent a bunny turning into a villain (devil horns). Which works with the theme of the song. I really loved your video, it’s exceptionally well-made.
In my opinion, the Fearless era was the best one of Le Sserafim in MANY Ways, like choreography-wise, lyrics, etc.
Really appreciated what u said, i never analysed dance in kpop like you did, most of the time i just watched dance analysis focused on member like which one did this or that move better with the right amount of power, of style, but no one talk abt the choreography as a whole and its fluidity. I forget that key point thank u for remembering it to me. Great work !
Loved the comedy throughout this vid, I was dying of laughter the whole time.
these are so fun and interesting to watch omgg
Thxxx 😊🫶
Ur attention to detail is astounding. Like ur seeing everythjng we love to see it
I love your attention to detail and overall respectfulnesses in the video. I like how you don’t blindly bash members talents and also give reasoning behind your opinions. I would love you too either IZONE or ITZY but that’s just a suggestion. Anyways keep up the good work, I love too see people who are clearly passionate about the topic!
I absolutely loved this video (and the aespa one as well)!!!! as a dancer myself I loved hearing your takes and it's easy to tell a lot of effort was put into these videos.
I'm glad you mentioned that your final ranking was based on your personal taste because I think at the end of the day that's what dance is really all about. like there is no one objectively best kpop choreography out there that everyone can agree on because every dancer values different aspects of choreography (formations, footwork ect). which is why everyone's rankings are different and no one should be getting mad at your list and overall commentary!!
I hate that people in the kpop community are so negative and defensive sometimes (always) and I'm sorry for all the hate this video has gotten. do whatever you like with your channel and don't let other people stop you from doing things you like!
I loved how you explain everything. The editing is superb. Loved this video 💕
Very well made video , le sserafim is my favorite group and I'm also very interested in dance analysis (I have some myself) so I was really excited to see this pop up
But I'd like to add that I (in my personal opinion) would have added eve psyche and the Bluebeards wife higher (I'd have put it in second,with antifragile in first)
I understand that you may found some moves Awkward but I think it is actually very detailed and fits the song's concept,message, instrumental and even vibes
The rap part inst THAT bad but also not very impactful so I get why it's lower on your list, since they only made the message clear in some points but honestly the dance parts in kpop raps are always not very good..
I think eve psyche and the Bluebeards wife is a very detailed song that requires musicality and speed
I'd say it's one of le sserafim's most solid choreography yet with impurities,perfect night and ofc antifragile
I do agree with you, EPBW is higher imo, and perfect night maybe lower cause the last chorus is really... Weird
as a dancer i love the choreo of ep&tbw. like yes it's abrupt and has some "weird" moves but i just love it sm. it's not my fave choreo of lsrfms but i love the detail of it and how lsrfm executes it.
i was literally just on holidays thinking that you should make this video and i get home and here it is! yay!!
Really great analysis! You give great insight while being respectful. Loved your Aespa video too.
Yess thank you, LS has a lot of strong, iconic moves but then especially the verses are just filled with awkward, seemingly randomized moves that look a little too high school performance sometimes. Such a shame cuz their songs are literally ideal for strong choreo
amazing video!! Thank you for doing such a detailed analysis for us!!!!
For some of the issues you mentioned in impurites (e.g the eunchae being out of the loop in the starting formation, and the weird sequencing), this is just a theory but impurities may have been choreographed before Garam left and made for 6, which could have been why these moments don't feel like they should be.
Oh dang If thats true then that would make a lot of sense! Gosh I wish I could see the choreographers original vision for a lot of these cause that could impact my ranking a lot (similar to how the only dance practice I could find for Blue Flame was the one that didn’t have Garam) 😅
I adore your analysis. thank you for sharing.
now that they just made there comeback where would you place songs like easy, smart and swan song?? also could you maybe do more of the ranking and analysis dancing with other groups
My favorite part of of blue flame is garams part! Which eunche did masterfully! Well done my friend on making me see the musicality through the choreography. Well done. I subscribed.
I loove this! Super interesting and well thought out
Love this and your aespa choreo video! Would love to see ones on new jeans, ive, itzy and especially twice! I know twice would take forever but i would be super interested to see it!
Its underated but my fav choreo is impurities. I justive how it suits them
i love these type of videos
i'm actually obsessed with these videos and i'd love to see one abt stayc's choreo cause i think bubble is choreographed so well and it made me wonder what you'd say about it and their other choreos
God i love your chaotic editing 😭🤍
Omg thank you sm ❤The funny thing is I was actually debating keeping this editing style, but I'm glad to see ppl are enjoying it. Seeing these types of comments helps more than you think! 😁
I loved your video and way of analyzing things, i’d love to see a video about Astro dances 😊🙏
Watching this right after your aespa vid bc I really liked your analysis style! The way you explain things and edit is really easy to follow and it's a new perspective for me at least since most choreo stuff Ive seen are from difficulty rankings. I like how you draw attention to how well different sections and moves suit the lyrics and beat as well as the group identity and vibe. Sorry to hear you're getting rude comments, I would definitely like to see more choreo analysis videos. I'd watch them all even if I don't stan the group 🙏🏻
This is amazing
10:55 i honestly believe this was made on purpose since impurities a .. sensual song,from it's lyrics even to the tone its sang, and they tried to not put the spotlight into eunchae since she is a minor and that's why when they (promoted it very little btw) she was never doing the dance challanges even tho she normally does majority of them
And they got away with it
Hi! I’ve just watched your ranking aespa’s choreography and now this video! I really love your analysis. Like when you see a video 30 minutes long you don’t wanna watch it but I didn’t even see the 30 minutes going while watching your video!
I would love to see you doing this with Itzy, New Jeans (when they’ll have more) and (G)I-DLE’s choreographies :)
Oh and you got a new follower 😄
(Me)
ranking perfect night as 1st is definitely something…
It seemed to rlly resonate with me, what would you rank as first? 😁❤
seriously. I was super surprised to see it ranked first when it was (imo) shitty ass choreo. The 20% of the time where the choreo didn't fit the song made me turned off from it. I absolutely hated the standing ab crunch move from the beginning.
@@DiceyBrycie i think their best is antifragile…i thought the perfect night choreo was really boring for me and the moves look awkward
I wasn’t a huge fan of it either. I felt like it was too energetic/hard-hitting for the music, except the 2nd half of the chorus which was perfect
I also didn’t like that some of the moves felt oddly sexy for a song whose lyrics are “just vibin’ with my besties.” Especially that whole “look at my butt” sequence on the prechorus. And in the chorus on the line “I’m dancing with my girls” Chaewon makes this flirty “come here” gesture towards the audience/camera which felt out of place. Lots of odd hip gyrations and pops as well which felt not only out of place but generic.
id love to see your ranking of billlie dances :D
Unforgiven was definitely the group's weaker comeback in most aspects, we barely had new music, the choreography was awkward af, and we got a whole different concept than the teasers promised. I do think that most of the choreography (All of Lesserafim's choreography in general) is still questionable considering that they have a minor in the group, but the groups overall stage presence and charisma really saved Unforgiven's choreography for sure.
2:48 nooo i love this part, they're singing "i'm a villain" and mimic horns on their head lol. I think it's kinda funny but not in a bad way
I will say after seeing the intent, it definitely has been growing on me (tho I still think it's a little awk in certain contexts haha). Anyways, thank you sm for checking out my video! 😁❤
dude this is such a well-made video! I have a lot of dance background as well and it's fun to listen to someone analyze kpop dance choreo's like this! I saw you like NMIXX as well, will you do a video on them as well?
Jam Republic's cover is 1 and if not, MY MOST favorite cover of EPATBW!!
Btw I'm challenging you...rank every BLACKPINK choreography haha
i actually have a big problem with the unforgiven post-chorus choreo. i think it's lazy, repetitive and boring (except for the last post chorus, that ones kinda fun). it doesn't feel "unhinged" enough, as the song's theme is about an unhinged "unforgiven villain" that doesn't care about society. that goes for the whole chorus choreo honestly. the whole choreo kinda feels like a first draft. a good first start, but needed a lot of work before being showcased/published
antifragile is so perfectt
Me trying to listen for the beat that Fearless emphasizes but you put a DING there 😭
Oops my bad haha 😅 Hope you could still see where I was coming from nonetheless
ur good!! i thought it was funny but i probably boosted ur views from the amt i tried to repeat it HAHA@@DiceyBrycie
Love this sm, this is what I’ve been wanting to watch so much, I’ve learned all their dances and what you said about fearless is so true, the beats were almost unlocked in my mind because they emphasized it through the choreography. The only thing is I wish you added the great mermaid because it is so complex and really makes the lyrics more meaningful and throughout the dance the formations seem clean because they go for the theme of one member controlling the others’ moves (the controlling member changes as their parts come), and even in some parts where there isn’t a controlling member like the chorus, the moves chosen are very unique and complex with lots of attention to detail, the post chorus as well with its tappings on the beat or the “love story yo” where they stomp on every syllable. What would you have ranked it? Also what would you have ranked fire in the belly? (I would’ve love to seen no celestial and no return but I totally see why you didn’t because they aren’t as thought out and are mostly vining around)
I would've def included them if Hybe released the dance practice versions but copyright is so harsh on blocking live stages for some reason so I didn't wanna risk it. For me, I think the chorus arm thing in Fire in the Belly is a little bit awkward (js personally speaking haha) 😂but I loveeee the formations in The Great Mermaid (literally the best imagery I've seen in their dances!), so (tho I'd have to think about it a bit more) The Great Mermaid would prolly be somewhere in my top half and Fire in the Belly would be somewhere in the bottom half :))), I'm not sure yet tho. Hbu? Where would you place it on your list!!!! 😁❤ And what would your list be if you don't mind me asking?
do you think you could do a short video or update now that easy has released? it’d be really helpful to know where you think easy’s choreography fits into this ranking ! ❤
loved the video and was so ready to binge the series on ur channel but there’s only 2 🥹. great vid and i will eagerly await more (new jeans pls)
wow, that was awesome. thank u for the work you've done. i would really like to see the choreography of the b side...
this video is so interesting, as a fan i've noticed that some of their choreo (especially unforgiven) can have parts that look so awkward, but i also find thier choreo to be really pleasing to watch overall. i was wondering, would you be interested in doing a newjeans choreo analysis video like this?
I just want to say a little theory I got from watching the video
You know how you talked about the start of impurities being a little weird since all of the members interlock expect eunchae, but I think they might done it on purpose and made it to act as an impurity to show how they aren’t perfect (since that’s kind of the theme of the song) making the overall picture look nearly perfect but have one impurity
Wait that’s actually so cute wow that changed my perspective ♥️
I have epilepsy and I am giving you a like before watching the video for the flashing lights warning. Thank you. 🙏
I came upon this purely accidental but I’m glad I did. I needed a dancer’s opinion on kpop dancers and choreographies (especially le serrafim)
i love this video its so intresting. I also agree with everything. Really hope u will continue this series
I absolutely adore le serrafims choreo! It highlights kazuhas special skill (ballet w the leg raises) & matches the beat and lyrics! My favorite is definitely antifragile and ep&bw even tho basic choices
I'll have to disagree on Yunjin's back bend on Unforgiven being unimpressive. Girl is singing her parts with a live mic consistently, including this one. Which is actually quite hard to remain stable on due to inner tension affecting breath and voice control, as if doing high energy moves wasn't already enough.
loved this vid! would also love to see an itzy and/or newjeans dance analysis & ranking at some point :)
amaziiiiiiiiiiing video
this is the first time i’ve heard someone say this abt unforgiven and i’m so glad
great video! I just thought id let you know that no return technically does have choreography, but its sort of like no celestial where theyre just standing around for most of the song. still thought id point it out :)
baby jam’s choreo to unforgiven is so hype compared to the original. i love the western sound and the dramatic bridge into the chorus. the original choreo doesn’t do the song any justice.
i felt like i was crazy for not liking EPATBW as much as other people seemed to, the intro choreo that they repeat for the chorus was so cool to me but i was immediately confused and expecting something better? more powerful or groovy? when they kept doing that cute-hands-butt-out hopping move and it was driving me nuts 😭 but this was an interesting watch and i agreed with a lot of parts, like the unforgiven crawling part... i feel like they wanted to sort of subvert the "sexy crawl" choreo move but in the wider context of the choreo there are just a lot of things that feel off to me
13:12 the sad part about it is there is a member missing, so I feel like they might’ve had this prepared before she left😢
i get why impurities would have to be in the bottom half, it really doesn’t work as well without the camera POV, but i just love it so much i’d put it right under anti fragile and perfect night. it was what got me into lesserafim
i wuld be so happy if you also did one of these ranking vids on itzy!
could itzys choreos be next ?
I'm sorry but the double dolphin fist, one after the other, is unforgivable in Perfect Night.
8:20, thats on porpose, sometimes just tiny things like the head make you feel like its just better, even when its something simple
It was going to be pistols at dawn when you didn't rank Antifragile 1st but your comment about subjective taste made it alright 😉 Yunjin's leaaaning and hip moves are just everything
*Electric Kiss not Artificial Love (AL's supposed to be a thirst trap but I find it a bit ridic tbh)
I love all of their dances.😊
❤❤❤
I really don't like the Kazuha's Cinderella part in Unforgiven like why would they have Eunchae move infront of Kazuha while she's doing the spin?😭
9:39 that's my favorite part of the choreography :0
no hate, its a difference of opinion ofc I just love the facials eunchae gives there
❤❤❤
I want to hear about red velvet and new jeans. Love your videos by the way:3
Plsss do an itzy dance ranking!! I love watching your dance rankings because im passionate about dancing and i feel like not enough ppl talk about choreos in kpop
I LOVEEE your attention on the moves some opinions-
I do think that I like ot6 Blue Flame choreo more becuz when they do the "will o the wisp o babe" part in ot6, they all move equally like before the part plays, the centers make a great job going to the edge. Even if Eunchae/Garam always are hidden, they still make the choreo amazing.
I LOVEE FEARLESS CHOREO! the moves are like beats and the intro was PERFECT. Also, I like how they avoid that always one member is always hidden like:
3
1 2 4 5 6
But instead they opt for:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Or like:
1 2 3 4 5 6
But yeah also my only problem is when Chaewon was center and in the left there is 3 members but in right it has 2. It kinda angered me-
For ANTIFRAGILE, I think it wouldve gone well with ot6- look i keep mentioning ot6 here but like imagine theyre choreos😭 and even in the intro, theres always a spot in the center so 3 is standing and 3 is kneeling- and after Kazuhas pillyohae its amazing how they like move and make a good transition and theyre antititi part hits the beats so well-
For UNFORGIVEN, I still don't know how to feel with it. But with them performing with figure skater(idk her name sorry) they showed an ot6 position- I kinda like it becuz most of the moves dont hide a member so yuh
For me, Perfect Night is like so GOOD. its so cute how in the choruses, they do theyre own thing and own moves so it doesnt look bland or boring becuz they do the same moves- so i like how they make theyre own moves becuz like yeah its a perfect night and u can do whatever u want so yeah
rly wanna see a newjeans dance ranking and analysis if there will be future episodes of this...thx! this video was great
Impurities is such an underrated song.
I never liked EPBBW's choreo either and I was so confused about why it was so well received. It's actually my least favorite. While I agree Unforgiven is "objectively" their weakest choreo, I think it suits the members' styles far better than EPBBW does. While watching Unforgiven stages I'm thinking "If this was any other group they'd look freaking stupid" but while watching EPBBW stages I'm thinking that the dance might look better if it was performed by a different group of dancers, which is not a thought I'd like to be having while watching a performance... (not trying to imply the members lack skill, but I feel the dance requires a different skill set/style)
Blue Flame definitely looks better with 6 members. They did a decent job transforming the choreo for 5 but there is still some awkwardness in the formations/transitions.
This was such an enjoyable video!! Interesting content and a great sense of humor :) I will be looking forward to more
Can we get a similar video for izone? I love your comments on formation and transition :))
Can you do Newjeans next, this was an excellent video!
This was such a great analysis! I enjoyed Unforgiven’s choreo but indeed, after a while, it got boring and I felt that disconnect. Anyway! Can you do an Analysis of Dreamcatcher next! ❤️❤️
Yes !! LE SSERAFIM !!! 😊❤❤
We need a video like this for IZ*ONE: all their title tracks + B-sides (Highlight, Spaceship, Sequence etc..) and for fromis_9
fearless still my favorite
Hmmm, I find it interesting that I think the complete opposite from you on several topics and I'm wondering whether this is a difference in taste or a difference in accounting for the "target audience" of a choreography. In particular, I think I'd agree more with your comments if Le Sserafim were a dance crew and not an idol group performing to their fans.
In Unforgiven, I love the parts that you hate - to me, the held movements are the points when the audience goes WOW. Cutting them off quickly would almost feel anticlimactic as a fan watching the performance since your attention is snapped up by a new movement before you're fully able to appreciate the picture.
Further, this move is almost surely tailored for performing "to the camera" rather than a zoomed-out view so that you can focus on Chaewon's facial expressions and give her room to (theoretically) sing, and the same is true for me about Yunjin's final chorus in Fearless.
On a similar note the "like a LION" move in Antifragile feels like an "audience participation" moment - a very simple gesture that the audience knows to expect and can perform together with the song to feel immersed.
On the other hand, I find a lot of moments that you praised to be... unimpactful? The Unforgiven final chorus, the start of Perfect Night feel more disconnected to me in somewhat of the same way that Jam Republic's EPTBW felt simultaneously too full and too empty - the beats and music are highlighted, but the dance is so full of movements that are flowing through each other that nothing ends up sticking in your mind.
IM SORRY BUT THE LAST CHORUS ON UNFORGIVEN MADE ME LAUGH-
Honestly for me EPATBW has good choreography. IT got SO overplayed in tiktok and 10273927493749373 remixes to the point I dont enjoy the song anymore.
Also, I LUVVV when the members like do theyre own move in the chorus, like example in the the way that i feel and so on, girls do theyre own move so it doesnt feel bland i love it.
Hmm I'm really convinced of the critique
can u do newjeans next? and i think it would be cool if u rate the choreos out of ten
An analysis of nmixx's choreography would be really interesting, if you're willing to do it!
