There’s another aspect which SNSD Hyoyeon mentioned on her appearance in Gabee’s KZfaq talk show. She said back when she was younger she had stronger leg muscles to execute dance moves, but because people criticised her appearance she worked hard to get rid of these muscles (dieting). Now it’s so hard for her to do the same moves cuz she doesn’t have the muscles for it. Of course there are naturally slim yet strong dancers like Lisa, but if you’ve been told to diet because your natural body is not fit to kpop standards I doubt you will have the same energy and power to execute moves…😢

yes! this reminds me of when ian eastwood was on steezy and him and clay were talking about how idols learn a lot of choreography so they can execute it (ofc prioritising cleanness, synchronicity, fast pick up) but they don't have the same access to proper technique in their training e.g. clay was saying most pops aren't pops in kpop but just chest drops because they don't get taught the proper technique but also a lot of the time the choreographer isn't the one teaching them the choreography (jinwoo + steezy) and able to show them the details. plus not ignoring time constraints preparing for comebacks and adaptations for live singing. though i guess the smoke challenge revealed that for a lot of people the difference between pro dancers and idol dancers. unrelated side note: but i've been thinking about warm up/stretching cool down/alignment/ technique in relation to injury prevention. common injuries in kpop idols i think that would be an interesting topic

Yep, the lack of proper popping technique is also a pet peeve for me. Most idols move their shoulders instead of actually isolating the chest for chest pops for example
@blairwrelos189110 ай бұрын
I will say as a dancer and singer any popping while singing can be really difficult, especially chest pops. I know that you already have mentioned this as one of the reasons for variations in idol dancing but I just wanted to explain a bit more. It's just a lot of gathering tension at the chest which would make singing really unstable (honestly impossible to sing😅) which might be a reason for not having proper training in the style bcoz it's going to be a difficult style to pull off while singing. Obviously tho there probably are other reasons too. But yeah, if someone asked me to sing and chest pop, my vocals would be extremely shaky 😅

I think this just goes to show that as a form of art there are different interpretations to dance. I find it puzzling that people in the kpop sphere always want to judge some styles to be worse when it is really just a question of preference. So when groups dance in a fashion that is farther away from the usual ”open style” it does not mean they are worse at dancing. It just shows that there is a certain preference about what kind of choreo would fit a specific song, concept or group.

Here's how I think of it: if being a pro dancer is a sport event then being an idol is like competing in a triathlon. The people who complete in triathlons have to be at least decent at swimming, running, and cycling, kind of like Idols having to be able to sing, dance, act, etc. For a triathlete, the individual sometimes are better at particular events than the other, so for example, an triathlete may be incredibly good at running and may often place first in that portion of the triathlon, but put them against an actual marathon runners, they struggle to place. So an idol who is main dancer and is great compared to other idols may not be on top when compared to professional dancers. That's not to say idols are bad dancers, it just come down to training and their focus. Professional dancers dance for a living so their training and energy is focused completely on the dance, while idols have to also think about the singing, variety, act, modeling, etc.
@bye987710 ай бұрын
but something that irks me is that the reason idols turns down the intensity of the dance is so that they could sing, but everyone uses a backtrack now and just lipsyncs so what's the point of turning it down. tho i do understand that they still have to fit the running image of an idol in every performance, even when compromising some of the quality, it's not easy being an idol.

Lovely video (and yay my vata/Kai suggestion made it in!) I think I especially appreciated the ITZY/XG call out because you get to really see how the execution aesthetics differ between fairly high level dancing in idols vs pro dancers. I think when I am viewing kpop dancing from the mode of a holistic performance (live performances, MVs etc) the kpop style makes perfect sense to me (and frankly dancing like the pro dancers would not). But I do take a step back during dance practices to think about what I feel about the executions just in themselves as dance. And I generally prefer the pro aesthetics, not really so much for the obvious ‘they’re better dancers’ reason. But more because of the whole more restrained space use and expressiveness sort of thing. I guess I just always enjoy the feeling of a dancer being able to let loose and enjoy their movement - which is not typically a kpop priority (again not wrong, just my preference). But I completely agree with you on the 2 particular choices you had for preferring the idol execution of the choreo (I think I might have a few more that come to mind as well)

Vata and Kai was an interesting one because where in the other cases it's pro dancers who would go "all out" and the idols would be more restrained/stylistic. But here while Vata has a more flowy style and focuses on sinuous lines it's Kai who's going for something more powerful with sharp accents all the while throwing his ass back like nobody's business (and I love that no one's asked him to do that, AND YET :D). Like it's mentioned in the video, Kai is one of those rare male idols who knows how to use his hips and isn't afraid to and that makes a world of difference.

That guy needs to be seriously promoted while he is still fit to dance hard! His technique, artistry, style and versatility in different genres are just 🤯🤯🤯 There are still many idols who are also really great dancers such as B.I, Taeyang, J-hope, Mark, who don't feel generic and have their own colors but TEN is a just another level.

I think with Kai and Vata, it's more of a stylistic choice. They both execute the choreo however they felt like based on how they hear the music. They're feeling the song. For me, no matter who I look at, I always prefer Kai. His timing, execution, and interpretation always matches the music the best. It's how he dances plus the song. I noticed for other dancers, they might be really good but they're execution doesn't always the match song they're dancing to. Always knowing how to dance that matches song is pure talent and not something that can be taught. I feel like D.O has that same talent but isn't as polished and advanced.

Always love how you illustrate your examples, the differences are so clear! I became more interested in dancing in kpop because of a former professional (Stray Kids' Lee Know, whose background is absolutely nuts. I really hope he gets to reunite with Bada to do some challenges next comeback but God knows Div1 were allergic to acknowledging his long relationship with Vata and all we got for Saebbing was behind the scenes footage. Anyway, that's getting off-topic lol.) What makes Lee Know so interesting as a dancer and what might be interesting topics for you to explore more generally are (1) His group's dance style can be at odds with his own. Not always (see "Easy", which you showed in your video on groove!), but frequently enough that people talk about SKZ getting different choreographers. I'd be interested in an exploration of how concepts are portrayed through dance and what happens when idols in the same group have different dance styles! Cohesion and synchronization are so prized in kpop, so I find how that question is approached really interesting. (And think SKZ are an example of a group whose main dancers are all completely different in terms of style.) (2) He purposefully takes a more "background" role. (Though contrary to a lot of the discourse on his facial expressions, he's more than capable of stepping up, as seen during Kingdom.) It might be because he comes from a crew background, but it would be cool to see a video where you explore different idol dancers' backgrounds with dance and how it translates to their performance tendencies! Sorry for the thought dump, you just inspired me!

Tbh I don't understand people who compare professional dancers to idol dancers. I might sound harsh but there's no comparison, even the best idol dancers can't compare to professionals. There are some idol dancers that have the talent to be on some professional dancers' level (maybe not the top of the top) but the difference is the training and focus. Idols have other things to focus on like singing/rapping, recording or promoting and also a different training (except the ones who specifically trained a lot before becoming a trainee) so you can't expect them to be on Kristen Dodgen's level (just an example). But I don't mean one can't prefer an idol/idol group execution, that's preference based on style and personal taste. 2 questions: 1) what's the dancer you like the most amongst the ones participating in SWF2? Mine's gotta be Audrey, even before the show. 2) there are idols that had professional experiences before debut, as you said in this video. One of them is Lee Know of Stray Kids. What do you think about him and the fact that stays say he's a professional dancer who became an idol? I'm a HUGE stay (my fave group) and I love Lee Know in general and as a dancer, and yeah he had that experience and it shows but... I see stays saying in his crew there were dancers like Bada Lee and Vata (which is true) and they automatically put him on their same level because of that... but as much as I love him I think it's too much. Edit: maybe I was too harsh
@facts_in_fiction10 ай бұрын
1. I've been following Cera for some time, she was quite overlooked until her viral battle video a few months ago but I really love her style and approach to battles 2. I would say that not all professional experience is equal. Lee Know's experience as a backup dancer is far from the amount and quality of experience that Bada and Vata have in different aspects of the dance scene. I do think that quite a few idols could find jobs specifically dancing backup, theoretically Lee Know probably still could. If you think about Cha Hyunseung on Be Mbitious for example, he worked many years as a backup dancer, but doesn't have much of a skillset beyond those requirements while some former idols showed more. The required skillset boils down to a certain level of technique and learning ability, and then other variables like looks, contacts (it's no coincidence that idols who had some professional jobs like Lee Know, Hanbin trained for years at renowned academies). Therefore my conclusion is mostly that I don't find the "professional" distinction that useful when it comes to skill, but rather achievements, reputation and so on within the scene. Which is why I agree that Lee Know is not on the same level as Bada even though they used to dance together some years ago.

Do you think transitioning into idol dancing affects the overall growth in skill of an idol that has a previous proffesional background or one that has received a more "legitimate" and conventional dance training? I feel like those idols will experience an inevitable regression in skills ( unless they themselves keep wanting to improve and never stop training ) mainly due to being obligated to shift their focus into other fields such as singing, acting, etc. They also have to take the skill level of their own members into consideration, a dance/performance focused group will usually have a good and competent dance line, but for a more well rounded group where one field isn't the main focus, those idols must feel the need to tone down their abilities in order to achieve better synchronicity with their members. This might become a habit for them and lead to the regression of their abilities. It's not like with singing where the best vocalist of the group can just flex his/her range and go crazy with belting and singing high notes ( K-pop groups are first and foremost, musicians after all ), but in dance, when you're clearly one of the best/THE best in your group, the attention focuses on you and you stick out like a sore thumb. You either get accused of "overdoing/overdancing" or wanting all the attention for yourself.

Yeah, I definitely think that the artistic growth is usually affected when dancers become idols. Lack of time, the different focus of dance practice with their group etc. I don't think technique necessarily regresses, but their focus / goal probably does

Also a lot of idols are underweight (especially female idols) which causes decreased muscle strength and muscle strength is very important for dancers im pretty sure hyoyeon said that she had to diet because people complained about jer leg looking to muscler and now she can't dance as good anymore

this was a very gooe thought! butnI really think the difference between Dancers ans Kpop idols is that, Idols have images to portray - which often makes idols do moves in a lighter way ( movements are not fully done/ extended ) along this, power and technique is really not the idols strength as their focus is more on keeping their image and vocals ( tho they lipsync 😂 ) And most of the time, when idols do good, they tend to regress as more times comes as they tend to be one with their group which makes them do moves not in their full potential also becoming a hobby. The technique and power surely is the main things that are not found in kpop groups.

lets be honest, idols give mostly one dancing emoution - to be hot. mostly sell sexy/cool emotions for kids. you cant be really good dancer with one emotion. also they can dance only kpop style at good level. idols got way to much to work to be 10/10 dancers. buy still most of it looks fun, nice and enjoyable. dancers (even korean who dance same kpop moves) will be ahead. and we dont know how would a real pro from countrys like USA, Russia, France bang same moves. its like a day and night.
@jurcik878 ай бұрын
@@facts_in_fiction even korean - same culture/style dancers. real dancers - there are a real education with degree in dance. more like classic styles and so. Also for dancers is important to try out and do new styles. new emotions, its a problem idols got. its like c-walk moves is a one of oldest youtube dance moves. and k-pop use it sooo often, its cringe. dont wanna be rude, just wanna say, idols job dont give them time to be a real pro dancers. on live stage its a paint to look at them. and i get why, in such a age you need to work a lot.

Kai is an expressive and high-energy performer, which makes him stand out and he is enjoyable to watch, but he doesn't have the best technique. He has stiffness and tension issues, especially in his upper body. he lacks groove and fluidity, and he usually dances hunched over.

There’s no difference imo. The kpop people get paid to dance don’t they, and they train too? =Professional dancers They may not be choreographers or freestylers tho, but they make a living dancing & they train for it If the groups were told to have something different, they’d train for it, but they’re told to keep it certain ways and that’s just style, still does not take away professionalism Dancer-one who dances Professional-one who gets paid to do something, or is trained in a certain area- related to their work (collins) Professional dancer-a dancer who is trained in an area to dance and may earn money

Like I stated in the description, I put "professional" as a simplification in the title to make it short and understandable, also put it in quotation marks in the thumbnail. This is the way kpop fans usually distinguish between people whose work involves dancing (idols, cover dancers) and those who get jobs specifically as dancers and based on a certain skillset (backup, teaching classes at a dance school, paid to choreograph etc).
