SMROOKIES’ Irene and Seulgi Dance Together in “Be Natural” Video

[exo-cath.livejournal.com]

After the launch of their new website, SMROOKIES revealed a video of their trainees Irene and Seulgi through the official SM Entertainment YouTube channel.

Irene and Seulgi are a part of SMROOKIES’ female sub-unit, SR14G (“SM Rookies 2014 Girls”). The video shows Irene and Seulgi dressed in black and white and dancing on a spotlight stage. Both Irene and Seulgi show powerful dance moves, using chairs as props. The performance was directed and choreographed by SM Entertainment’s Kim Jae Won, and the video was directed by Metaloz.

The song, “Be Natural,” is a smooth and jazzy R&B track and was originally sung by S.E.S.

1. [+2,080, -53] That Seulgi that Kyuhyun likes?

2. [+1,247, -38] Seulgi's finally coming out? ㅎㅎ

3. [+1,286, -112] Too many idols lately... not really welcoming news

4. [+1,052, -36] Seulgi, the Seulgi that Kyuhyun talked about?

5. [+236, -15] Stop saying SM has given up on f(x)... They're still young, they still have at least three years left in them...

6. [+185, -11] Seems they have a career ahead of them as long as they do well and don't cause any problems. Otherwise they'll end up like Milk or The Traxx..

7. [+194, -27] SM's a bit late.. Should've started their new girl group before Soshi became has beens. And supported f(x) more too.

8. [+171, -10] I find Irene prettier than Seulgi..

9. [+160, -5] Mixed responses... Honestly, it's hard to tell with SM girl groups what kind of concepts they'll come out with.

10. [+161, -8] Honestly, Seulgi never had much presence out of the trainees but because of Sulli's big mouth, she became Kyuhyun's woman and gets all this attention now ㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+150, -19] Now that f(x)'s chance of becoming as big as SNSD is 0%, SM's only hope is to make a new girl group and make them popular as fast as possible. SM's always been amazing with idols so I'm looking forward to it.

Ugh why did I read the youtube comments. I don't see how this is typical SM style/cutesy/sexy or anything else the commenters are saying??? I actually really liked this, I just wish the camera focused more on Irene. She seems more fluid and charismatic to me.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

SR14G sounds like one of AKB48 sister groups, idk

[fallendaydreams.livejournal.com]

I hope it doesn't mean there's 14 of them lmao

[lovelymingkki.livejournal.com]

I don't like the camera work and their hair kind of.. disturb me (?). But I think they are good.

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

Are they natural though?

I enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to more teasers.

[burqaswag.livejournal.com]

I saw some sones joking about them having jaw shaves.

[burqaswag.livejournal.com]

Slay tbh

[misoras.livejournal.com]

does it matter if they're naturals? they're sm, all they have are their looks.

that was cute tho, looking forward to their debut.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I liked it...they have good chemistry it seems

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

SMH at those comments. SM knew what it was doing when they mediaplayed Seulgi's name on RS with f(x), and now it'll never go away.

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

ikr poor kyu for getting dragged into this and poor seulgi for being hated on as if she was the one who told the fx girls to mention her on RS

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

I like Irene. the camera is giving me motion sickness

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

seulgi wae so pretty <3333333333

and i like it. i also liked the other video of them dancing too. it was them right?? lol

[goldenrosalie.livejournal.com]

i love my bb seulgi but i feel like i'm gonna stan irene when they debut.
all these fancy choreo videos are always eyecatching for me but the groups never actually have this kind of choreo when they debut. /looking at you fx/
but at least these new videos make me think that maybe sm will actually debut a group this year like they planned.

[yukahoo.livejournal.com]

I like it. Looking forward to their debut.

[maadkid.livejournal.com]

The girls were good but, unfortunately, this Rookies project is getting to be somewhat tedious. A debut is the only thing most people legitimately give a fuck about.

[tha-x.livejournal.com]

Irene is the one with the white t-shirt, right? Poor Seulgi almost couldn't keep up with her.

[merong-xp.livejournal.com]

No, Seulgi is the one in white.

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

Mte

[ultrabookworm.livejournal.com]

I'm excited for a new girl group so just debut them already

is this the same choreo as the other video they had?

edit: its not

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

Shit, where are those heifers from DBSKs Spellbound video?? I've been stanning them for a minute tbh.

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

I liked the choreo

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

this kinda reminded me of EXO's My Lady teaser. I'm interested I guess.

[kiku-cha8-8.livejournal.com]

i'm not really a fan of beatburger jae's work so i'm not surprised that i am not interested. that being, this choreo is better than most of his stuff

[vermicelli-rice.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, idk. It still looks very unpolished. Like it's a practice video instead of something that should be released officially.
How 'bout someone let Jino out of that basement in the mean time

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

they're okay. It takes me a really long time to stan rookie groups though lol i'm too lazy to invest and be disappointed. winner is the one group that broke that rule though haha

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Seulgi's hot. The only good thing about this is their outfits.
Too many close ups. I wanna see footwork. ZZz~

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

They picked an SES song, which means that these girls have good taste at the very least.

But the fact that there are only two of them is giving me Isak and Jiyeon vibes. Which I am down with because I, for one, loved Isak and Jiyeon and don't care that it showcases just how damned long I've been around this scene.

[cxxl.livejournal.com]

This was cute. I like it, and if that is them singing, then I like them better than most of what SM has already put out.

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

Nope that not them singing, it's an S.E.S. song. :D
