i like parts of this choreo but its definitely not one of my favourites of theirs, it definitely looks better against a plain background but it still feels like theres a lot going on. normally svt choreo manages to make you not notice theres a ton of people on stage but i feel it with this one like everyone is constantly moving and i wouldnt say it looks messy but its like it splits your attention in a bad way. i dont know i guess i think its over complicated lol, especially on stage its a lot easier to focus on in this video.
to focus on the positive my fav parts are them leaving formation in relay @0:35, woozi center @1:11 and the longer individually in sync section @2:32. there are parts that i think i can appreciate in the practice but watching the stages they didnt work as well.

and semi related does minghao have something on the people in hybe why does he suddenly have double the lines this cb lmao i thought i heard him more but watching line distribution vids yesterday confirmed it is there a reason for the sudden increase? i like him so it's not that i mind but the balance definitely felt different this time around

yeah I agree, it's one of my least favourite choreos, I don't really feel it has much of an impact either? I'm not wowed.

Edit: Tbh it may partly be due to the fact that idrc for the song, especially because I hate the 'you give me purpose' line sfm. it feels so out of place :|

yeah its overly complicated, there's too much going on that its taking away from the impact rather than creating more

and agree to disagree on the 'you give me purpose' line i love it lmao i think the song would feel flatter without it

Lol IA! He's definitely grown over the years so maybe thats why he's being more parts? & even other members are getting to flex their vocals more

ia hes improved but its how drastic the increase is thats shocking me lol in left and right he was second last in the distribution and now he's 3rd??? what happened lmao

ia there are parts where i just lose track of what they're doing or i'm not sure where i'm supposed to be looking at. they're usually a lot better at focusing people's attention than this, i wonder what happened.

i definitely think its the fault of the choreo rather than them theyre still executing it cleanly as always but its just too much. like adding more detail and more formations and movement doesn't mean its better but it feels like that was their choreographers outlook making it.

after a couple of watches of this practice the part @2:02 where theyre in sync — split up in half — in sync again — split in half again actually looks good to me but when i first saw that on stage i thought it looked awful and messy there's just too much to take in all at once.

The choreo definitely looks better in a full cam version since you can actually see what's going on.

It feels like a SVT dance, but different. They usually are generous with the stage space, but also like to keep p tight formations and I think they didn't do that as much here. It's very spread out in a way.

My fave parts are the 1st chorus w/5 members and then the Jun to Jeonghan transition. I don't particularly care for the Vernon-Dino-8-Mingyu section it looks messy. But I love Hoshi's lead verse and Woozi center — anytime he's bookended by the other 12 usually looks cool to me

Edit to say Jeonghan looks so good in the practice video, thanks

Edit to say Jeonghan looks so good in the practice video, thanks

you are so right the blonde hair and all light clothing looks so good on him

i don't care much for this choreo either. i know the members are busy but i wish hoshi got to be part of the choreo process again, the choreos without him are a hit or miss for me.

there are some parts i like but there's just way too much going on here lmao

this is kind of a silly complaint, but i have to say i kind of prefer their old practice room, lol. i feel like if their space is limited, they have to get more creative with the choreo so they don't seem so crowded all the time. since their space has gotten much, MUCH bigger, it seems that their choreo has also spread out somewhat, forcing the audience to look all over the place instead of focusing at the center. idk idk.
