key personally picked jeno cause he thought jeno was a great singer and rapper and because he felt their voices were opposite and he felt that jeno's huskiness in his voice was a nice contrast to his own voice.
for the choreo of bound pls keep the name of the song "bound" in mind. i think it was a very smart play on lyrics as well. key moved like he was bound. being as fluid as he is that was clearly a choice that I personally really enjoy cuz it delivers the exact vibe of the song.
Loved this reaction and hearing your takes! and they way I SCREAMED when I watched the Bound performance for the first time and npw you've got me imagining it with heels gahh And you're so right Key knows the influences he's using and I truly hope we get to see him express his art even freer in the future not just for variety etc
Glad you reacted to the dance practices! Watching the choreo really gave me a new appreciation for the gasoline and key as an artist, he danced like rent was due!
Fun Fact: The choreographer for Beyonce's "My Power" video helped with the choreography for Key's Gasoline, I believe her name is Kany Diabate Ahn. She's amazingly talented! :)
15:08 In an alternate universe there's a sickeningly good mv for "Bound", with a dance break where he gets "Unbound" and the choreo gives you that high energy. I wonder what Key could be if he weren't under SM. Just his full fabulosity...
the helium choreography was actually done by newjeans' choreographer, blackq, who's currently on street man fighter with his crew eoddae (the one with all gay members)! he was also a back dancer for bad love (and b sides) during promotions.
He´s such a good dancer ♥ the album gets better and better!! the first time I listened to it I didn´t like it that much but the songs grow on you quickly!! Now I´m loving almost all of the songs :D Especially G.O.A.T, Burn, I can´t sleep, Bound, Villain, After Life and Proud!
same. with me, it happened with bad love too. i still think bad love is the stronger album, but only because his standard has become higher and higher with every release. can't wait to see how's the repackage will change this. hopefully it will be like nct 127's favourite. i was on the fence about sticker, but favourite really changed the game
omg yes the helium coreo - and now bound too- made me feeel some type of way and i couldnt really tell what i wished was different, it wasnt necessarily the energy bc he was still serving, but more like what you said: it feels like hes holding back a looooot, a bit stiff compared to the girls when we know KNOW what he can do. TEASING is precisely what hes doing.
Bound’s choreographer is one of the female dancers, Redy/Soobin (the one with the hime haircut). She works with Key often during his solo stages. He apparently saw her voguing, asked her about that kind of dance style and she went on to create the choreo from there.
That's interesting- I personally liked Gasoline album more than Bad Love lol. I think comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges because the music and singing style is different but I think that's what is so great about Key because most artists keep on making the same song style over and over again. Their albums don't sound new or different it's the same thing. Anyway I loved this album's sound more than Bad Love's. It took me a couple of times listening to the Bad Love album to really like it but this album I liked it the first time I played it through.
I think the Bound choreo suits the costume. It’ll be a bit weird and off if he’s wearing that and he dances with extra flair and fluidity. It’s also in vibes with the song title, Bound.
His Gasoline choreo DP was incredible, I loved his expressions... he was cocky, intense and sexy...I love seeing that on an idol performing. P.s I think he chose Jeno bc he's smart... Jeno is very popular with the younger ppl, ofc Key doesn't need help but doesn't hurt to use your resources ;)
Villain is definitely a favourite. I cant quite find the words to describe it, but I feel like Keys performance feels more like a snake, precise, quick but also long and elegant, while Jeno gives me like panther vibes, still has that "animalistic" slick elegance to it but more power, more rough stalking in the movement. I dont mean in the sense of him executing the choreo rough, just the energy of it. Like the difference between Kai and Taemin doing Tiger inside choreo.
Masculine Vogueing...Notice Key does not over extend though he can, but chose not... More like controlled isolation if there's any though...but sharp movements...
I love your channel so much and always look forward to your videos. But hands down, my favorite is your reactions to Shinee/a Shinee member. Thank you so much for reacting to all of these!! I love Key’s new album, but I’ll never be over helium and that choreo… And heels for bound? Yes, please!
Lol I felt like Key’s Gasoline hit so hard. I don’t even think any of the music show/studio performances were are on par except for maybe the Inkigayo stage
The chorus for Gasoline is so good to me😝 Like the song is defo a grower but he and the dancers did dat👏🏾 the instrumental gives me marching band and Beyonce choreo inspo😩😊 15:20 i be sayin the same exact thing!!😭
I was thinking about how Key looks like elegant mastermind villain while Jeno looks like a younger and more straightforward one and now I can't unsee them as Izma and Kronk LMAOOO
I thought the SMP floor was random at first too. But it makes sense since there are a lot of dance reactors now. But I think this just a part of SM wanting to give ppl a peek into the process of how SM’s releases come together. There is even a SM songwriting camp IG acct now. That’s how I know Moonshine/Kenzie must have written the Title track (or at least a bside) for RV Seulgi’s solo debut coming out next month. And among the mountain of NCT YT content, there is video where Doyoung/Jungwoo shows us the songwriting camp studios at SM and interviews NCT’s head A&R person
13:48 You just unlocked a new need! OMG can you imagine what would have happened if Key danced Bound in heels? People would have gone crazy. Ik some people said the leather look in Gasoline MV was very revealing (like how???) but... Damn, conservative people are stealing good opportunities from us. Hope when Taemin comes back he or SHINee will dare to break the mold much more (Can you imagine all SHINee in heels??!! I need to stop lol)
I'm torn because on the one hand I kind of agree with some of your opinions on the bound choreo, but on the other hand I really like that it's more restrained. I feel like it really suits the vibe. 100% agree with the heels though! That is not something I'd ever thought of before but now it's all I want in life... I'm just glad he wasn't physically bound for these stages, for my own sanity!
I think Bound is iconic for sure, but it is hard not to also see the potential of following through with the concept now that you mention it. Also since you mentioned heels now I really want to see Jo Kwon do a cover in heels.. Or the two of them together honestly, like we had Jo Kwon promoting in heels in like 2012(song Animal)? We need the heels back!
It's true Bound does not give us heels which would have been super cool, but there is a kpop bg that does choreo in heels N.O.M. It gets their videos banned in Korea, but damn do they look good and sassy
Kany (I think I've got the right name) is Beyonce's choreographer and a long timw shawol. She was very happy to be part of Gasoline choreo! Key would be main danced in any other group, y'k ow?
I'm back to this but because idk how else to give you recommendations 😭 but if you haven't seen it yet, PLEASE watch Jonghyun's "Y Si Fuera Ella" performance...I just saw it and quite literally burst into tears
Rent was DUE on Gasoline! But I agree about wanting more from Bound. I wish they had committed more either to the concept of the song or with the potential voguing (like Shinhwa did with This Love). I don't think the choreo is giving the storytelling that it should to enhance the song.
I swear I thought of heels as well!! If anyone could have pulled it off it'd have been Key... Honestly, we barely see heels with any 4th gen idols, only the older gals. Thank goodness for Hyolyn comebacks

I would've definitely preferred physical bounds and the more fluid movements i mentioned but fair!
He is so good at everything
Dance,rap,vocal,
Multi talented King💎
I think Key set out to prove a lot with this album. He's amazing.
Loved this reaction and hearing your takes! and they way I SCREAMED when I watched the Bound performance for the first time and npw you've got me imagining it with heels gahh
And you're so right Key knows the influences he's using and I truly hope we get to see him express his art even freer in the future not just for variety etc
Thank you!! Yeahh for real
Glad you reacted to the dance practices! Watching the choreo really gave me a new appreciation for the gasoline and key as an artist, he danced like rent was due!
really like that refreshing (?) feeling when key moves because it feels so clean and clear, but also smooth
Fun Fact: The choreographer for Beyonce's "My Power" video helped with the choreography for Key's Gasoline, I believe her name is Kany Diabate Ahn. She's amazingly talented! :)
and said she's a shawol too!

Omg thank u thank uuuu finally reacting to Key’s dance practice.

Finally dance practice reaction thank you so much ^^
I have a special place in my heart for Helium 🥺🤧
Okay i havent seen bound choreo till now and oh. My. God. KEEEYYYY!
woah you reacted to so many! That's great!!!
was waiting for this!!! thank you

Good for you!
I think the Bound choreo suits the costume. It’ll be a bit weird and off if he’s wearing that and he dances with extra flair and fluidity. It’s also in vibes with the song title, Bound.
Woah the idea of blending Helium with Taemin's Want is such a clever idea. Would've loved to have heard that!
If you have a twitter, DM me and i'll send you the video!
Ahhhh Thank You So much For Reacting😍💗💗

I love key's dance👍❤️
This comeback he killed it🔥
Masculine Vogueing...Notice Key does not over extend though he can, but chose not...
More like controlled isolation if there's any though...but sharp movements...
Key also had a collab with Soyeon (G)I-DLE "I Wanna Be" the song is good check it out!
OMG, thank you for this video!!!!! ❤️💎
You’re welcome!
I’m keeping Bound close to my ❤️
I love your channel so much and always look forward to your videos. But hands down, my favorite is your reactions to Shinee/a Shinee member. Thank you so much for reacting to all of these!! I love Key’s new album, but I’ll never be over helium and that choreo… And heels for bound? Yes, please!

16:20 agreed
I swear I thought of heels as well!! If anyone could have pulled it off it'd have been Key... Honestly, we barely see heels with any 4th gen idols, only the older gals. Thank goodness for Hyolyn comebacks
Does anyone know who the choreographer is for villain?
Jrick Baek
Jrick Baek. I love the choreo so much!
did they sample from another song? sounds familiar
