ia op!!! those transitions, the domino effects, the sharpness!!! 🔥🔥🔥 i’ve enjoyed exo’s improvement with every project. just when i think they’ve done really well, they surprise me.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

this is excellent. they've really grown as performers.

[weneedmedicine.livejournal.com]

a bop like no other

This is so so good! Minseok tho!!! this is his routine wow I couldn’t stop staring at him.

learning this at the same time as power and Kokobop must have been exhausting.

And it’s so cool to see jongdae and baekhyun rly come into their own as dancers now that they’ve been basically training for 5 years. I’m rly looking forward to countdown! The new songs sound amazing.

It is really great to see how Chen and B have improved (ahem, Chanyeol). And Xiumin is killing it more and more (ahem, Chanyeol, stop blocking!)

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

I've never been more mad at a hoodie than I was in this video lol they should ban him from wearing them in dance practice videos.

as far as chanyeol's dancing...bless him he really tries to do his best but i think he's injured himself through the years to the point where he can't move nearly as well as everyone else.

[daynr.livejournal.com]

I mean, I guess he tries his best? Admittedly I don't know his injuries, but I would think he could improve. He seems to have the cardio fitness, and can squat low enough, but doesn't have the hip flexibility/control. It's not easy to learn, maybe, but 5 years! But I am not convinced he ever did much better. Even Suho, who should have improved during his forever years as a trainee, has gotten better. I don't mean to be talking shit, since C has clearly improved in other areas and works hard, I just don't think dance is an are he works hard.

They should ban matching clothing and hats. And, seriously, we know they get sweaty so just go ahead and wear t-shirts! It's ok! You can still be stylish, plus arms.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

agreed about the t-shirts!

I randomly saw a gif from around debut of chanyeol doing like hip moves or something and he had a lot of flexibility compared to now he might have lost a lot of that cuz he's not required to train in dance as much anymore. He's always hurting himself just never bad enough that he can't perform. he could barely bend his knee after hurting himself last year before the tokyo dome con, hurt his wrist in hawaii, and his waist really badly during lotto promotions.

ugh yea Suho was rly cringey for a while there.

[daynr.livejournal.com]

hmmm, I guess I will cut him some slack then and instead blame the choreographer for putting him in front of the ones who can still move. he can be front and to the side. :) Everyone can see him ... and the others.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

lmao definitely. he makes a better door than a window.

[normanikordei.livejournal.com]

lmaoooo that gif. this choreo needed to go as hard as the song and it DOES, I love performance legends

[spread.livejournal.com]

ok...
THEY DID THAT!!!

I can't wait for Japan promotions.
This era and album is going to be LIT!

EXO are truly the KINGS of growth and progression.
Actual kpop LEGENDS.

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

The full song is so good ;;

Everything about the choreo is amazing, from the transitions to the formations. I feel like they have all improved as dancers. Especially chen and suho!

[lemonadetea.livejournal.com]

I still don't like this song, but I love the choreography!

And all the Xiumin is fantastic! (He looks so tiny next to Chanyeol though, I had to giggle. I guess I've gotten too used to BTS's relatively narrower height gaps because Chanyeol looked extra tall here?)

[spainawards2008.livejournal.com]

I came here to say the same thing. Maybe its what he's wearing but Chanyeol seems 2 inches taller than usual

[haymitch.livejournal.com]

chanyeol is a giraffe lmao. even sehun, who is very tall, somehow manages to blend well with the group.

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

The full version of the song plus seeing it with the choreo actually changed my opinion on it. Now I really dig it.

The formations are everything!! To be honest, I hope they make a Korean version of this song and perform it here as well.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Same. Thought the song was just alright, but now I'm jamming to it.
The dance looks like it's fun to learn, too.

Xiumin was feeling it.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Their best choreo in years! The first chorus when they're in three rows and doing the thing with their arms, I was shook.

Also I never noticed how much Minseok has to spin into his position.Poor dizzy hamster

[yuujinchous.livejournal.com]

thank you for my life, exo??? i didn't think, or rather expect, to get a dance practice for electric kiss so this was a very nice thing to wake up to :') electric kiss is a banger in its long version too and i'm happy to see that the choreo goes just as hard as the song does. kings of releasing quality music in every language!

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

ooh i love the song!!! The dance is great too :) (I love seeing Kyungsoo dance for some reason, he looks so cute)

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

They really did that. Kings of Kpop👏🏼
Also why do they all look so good? Like even Baekhyun had me feeling a way.

[tjmok125.livejournal.com]

Is it just me or the the transitions and lines gave me Sherlock vibes?? This was really good tho. I love it when big groups make use of all of their members to do creative transitions and formations. Even for the weaker dancers everyone looks so put together just bc of the sheer number.

I will say tho that exo for me has been improving so much with dancing as a group instead of as a bunch of individuals. I got a lot of shit the last time I said this quite a few comebacks ago but exo used to dance as individuals (especially Kai who is my absolute favorite but he used to overcompensate) instead of as a group and they looked sloppy from a dancers perspective, from the avr person maybe not so much.

[haymitch.livejournal.com]

ia! when they first started, they all seemed very “me” focused and at times weren’t cohesive. the growth they have as a group is pretty amazing. they’re working extremely well together now.

[yuujinchous.livejournal.com]

exo really have improved in terms of group cohesion while dancing and i think a part of it is kai dialing it down a lot unless he is front and center on stage (see: their recent "run this" performances at the gayos/award shows) but a huge part of it simply is that every single member has improved so much in dancing and stage presence!! my favorite example of that is always baekhyun, it's truly amazing how far he's come in that sense but for a while now members like suho and jongdae have been catching my attention too. needless to say that someone like minseok has improved tons too, he's pretty much an inofficial member of danceline at this point.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

You’re so right about them being individuals, even beyond just dancing. splitting them up between exo k and m and then trying to fit them back together for title track promo you could see how they weren’t really a close unit (especially in exo showtime) vs nct now who’ve been training together (minus one or two members) as a solid group for years now. It shows in how they perform.

Growl/wolf era exo would never be able to trust each other to dance as closely as they are in this routine especially the parts where they’re dancing around each other to form the line. Its so nice to see them continue to get better in one area or another each comeback.

[daynr.livejournal.com]

I so agree; I was never impressed with their dancing until the last year or so. Improvement was a part of it, except Chanyeol, come one guy, but also Kai has learned to blend better. There is a difference between team dancing and solos.

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

no you're super right, it used to be kai >>>> sehun > xiumin >>> everyone else, now it's pretty even and it's so nice to watch!

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

wow. i mean wow. i'm in awe of the choreography. song's a jam, choreo is on fire. wow. i'm floored.

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

[yukwons.livejournal.com]

I love this!!!! I can’t wait for countdown album to drop. And kyungsoo? He’s so damn cute

[hibaalhadid.livejournal.com]

the formation, the song, the members

I'm in LOVE

[ty.livejournal.com]

D.O really stood out in this for me.

[daynr.livejournal.com]

This was so fun, and I can't wait to watch a few more times, especially because it took awhile to figure out who was whom. D.O. was a star for not wearing a hat and Sehun for not wearing black. So Fun!

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

Watching it a couple more times...I love all the callbacks they've been including to past choreo in their routines lately. The little nod to Monster at 2:16.

They do it a lot with CBX routines and it just makes me rly happy idk why.

[sparkb.livejournal.com]

wow a JPN title track got a dance practice uploaded on YT? I wish they have a proper promotion in Japan this time around rather than blend it with a tour like usual

[misspoirot.livejournal.com]

how old is Chanyeol and how is it possible that he hasn't stop growing?
