Ah I wish Butterfly had a choreo tho just like Haruman :(

[citrine047.livejournal.com]

i said the exact same thing, i wanted them on fancy chairs, fancy set, with flowers and confetti. im sad they performed this song as a coupling to run, i really wanted it as the follow up single

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

i wanted it to be the follow up too :(

Butterfly was too short:/ but they sounded wonderful. Jimin's throat is still not in the greatest condition and I pray he survives next week's concerts.
Run looks great! Everyone is comparing it to Dope but honestly it's good on it's own with the shoulder rolls and that final Butterfly pose. They give their 100% into the moves and it shows

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

Okay yeah sure make me cry with your singing on Saturday morning. That's fine.
But I still hate turtlenecks.

Am I the only one who loves the Run choreography? I need a dance practice stat so I can see all the moves that the music show cameras won't let me see.

A special shout out to Hobi for absolutely killing it during his part on every stage. I completely stop what I'm doing and just pay attention to him only.
And to Jin who has improved so much and sounds so damn good.

The Tiffany/Taehyung moment was so cute it made me squeal yesterday. Adorable.

mte. i need to see that dance practice, especially the shoulder rolls, in its one-angle glory.

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

I wish it was a full ver of Butterfly, but it's at least something!
I'm still trying to figure out whether I like this choreo or not. Also, who does "run" in that "don't tell me bye bye" part? Is it JK?
P.S. I wonder why they switched Jin and Tae's parts. Maybe because of the choreo?..

[hinadori.livejournal.com]

Yep that Run falsetto is Jungkook.

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

thank you for confirmation, i was trying to catch him moving his mouth during that part, but with this camerawork i just got dizzy, lol

[hinadori.livejournal.com]

Watch their Inkigayo comeback, camera is on him during the last verse. There's also a fancam out there that confirms he is singing it live at MAMAs. It's amazing how stable and smooth the note is considering he's moving around. But that is nothing new with Jungkook.

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

yeah, i just watched it and caught him near the end =)

[arysthaeniru.livejournal.com]

Man, they look tired. And RapMon's hand is still bandaged, I wonder what happened :/

But the choreo looks really nice, and the camera angles were way better here. I was surprised at Jin sounding so shaky on the Butterfly stage though, I understand it for Run because their choreo is pretty intense, but he's just standing there for Butterfly. His breath control's lacking? idek. V and Jimin are killing it though.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

They look SO GOOD. Those fitting clothes are doing wonders for them.
The choreo is a bit weak compared to their previous choreos but it's ok because the vocals make up for it.

[annayism.livejournal.com]

the run choreo is growing on me. i like how it's pretty subtle yet they're still hitting it hard.
butterfly sounded so good, i hope they get to perform the whole song ;___;

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

ia about the Run choreo. I was kinda underwhelmed after the MAMAs but they're going so hard for it I really like it now.

[abcd123.livejournal.com]

Every time I hear this song I fall more in love with j hopes verse - I really love it when he does that sing-rap thing at the start

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

omg yes! something about his voice just makes me stop and listen. i'm glad we're hearing more of it!

[meriumi.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one loving it - J-Hope's verse is my favorite part of the song as well.

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

tbh i love the run choreo and it looks better today than it did yesterday. it doesn't go hard like their other choreos, but it has subtle details and you can't really do it entirely if you don't have all the members. and omg at the lack of a backing track today!! slay bangtan, slay. also, i love those leather pants like hell but i'm gonna need them to put someone else but jungkook in them. i don't need to admire his ass and thighs

i'm a bit underwhelmed with butterfly, sadly

Re: Jungkook's pants

[meriumi.livejournal.com]

Ahahah, that's precisely what I've been thinking ever since their MAMA performance. I'm glad he at least wore that blazer during this performance - its length helped keep my eyes from wandering way too much.

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

lmao at that interaction. A friend told me recently that she only knows BTS as "those guys fooling around in the background during other artists' acceptance speeches" (specifically she knows V and Jungkook).

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

so was butterfly like a separate performance?

[citrine047.livejournal.com]

yep!

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

should have been longer.

[citrine047.livejournal.com]

i feel so cheated by this butterfly stage tbh, vocal line did well with the live singing, but this song is so gorgeous it deserves a bigger, more grandiose production

[ohsnaplettes.livejournal.com]

the run choreo looks much better on a smaller stage. the camerawork really highlighted some of the smaller details in the dance and i really think it's starting to grow on me.

butterfly was way too short. and why is taehyung wearing a bib??

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

Damn, that shoulders roll movement gets me every time.
I would have loved a bit of choreo on Butterfly, but I'll forgive them because they look tired. My bbs :(
The Run choreo is growing on me and Hobi's verse is everything. I love the song so much, praying they can get a win!

[bri-and-red.livejournal.com]

Unrelated to your comment, but your icon is amazing and the reason that I checked out all the lightsaber stuff and it's amazing!!!

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

awww thanks bb <3
So glad you liked the performance, the choreo was insane!

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

butterfly is one of my favourite songs on the album (together with ma city and whalien) but I didn't 100% liked this stage. I always think it's weird when idols are just standing there almost in line lol (I would make a joke about a music genre here in brazil that used to do the same thing back in the day, but no one would get it lol)

run's choreo always impresses me with their footwork during the chorus. so many dance steps within a short time... and I want all the jackets they're using during this promotion round. THEY'RE SO PRETTY.

fight me, but I'm liking this orange hair for jimin.

they look tired tho. =/

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

hello! I was talking about 90s pagode. LMAO they were always standing in line, with those little dance steps where they were basically swinging from left to right in sync.

[921227.livejournal.com]

Butterfly sounded nice, but the way they chopped it up was weird
I liked Run a lot, but I wanna see the practice version so I can see it clearer. Every time they rolled down their jackets, I always expect to see a whole lotta skin because I'm thinking back to Kara's Pandora choreo where they pull down their blazers and are wearing low cut stage outfits

[keyutie.livejournal.com]

they all sounded good in Butterfly. I need there to be a full performance for it!!!

[izumichan31.livejournal.com]

I like the Run choreo. It's nice though half the time I'm distracted by Bangtan legs and butts. I don't get comparing ti with Dope considering the songs have two completely different feels. And I think Dope-like choreo would have been out of place for it. If we're going to compare it should probably be to I Need U rather than Dope.

Also I don't know why people had hopes of Butterfly being a followup song. It seemed pretty obvious that they were going to perform Butterfly with Run just judging from the prologue video and the credits on the Run video.

[blancface.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it's too soon but I take my words back because this performance has made me change my mind about the choreography. it's a lot better here and whether it's because of the stage or camerawork or whatever, I'll take it! I don't have high expectations for Inkigayo because I think their sound system is weird but for now MuCore has changed my mind about this choreography and I can continue loving Run without avoiding anything

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

The more I see it, the more I'm sure Hobi and Jimin created the choreo. The movements V was doing, the sharp jerking ones, were similar to the type of moves Hobi does when he freestyles. Also, I can't shake the feeling that Hobi has been looking really stressed since they've come back. His smiles used to come really easily, but he looks kind of solemn these days. It almsot reminds me of how solemn V was bag when he had the scandal about mocking the group who lost to them by singing Loser. Maybe it''s just because he's getting into acting out the emotions of Run, but his expression on top of him mentioning how stressed he was with the making of the album...I dunno. I just hope everything balances out and he can relax.

[elisaorange.livejournal.com]

I'm not that fond of this, actually? The dance is kind of repetitive.
