Head choreographers choose the best female and male idol dancer

[imanat.livejournal.com]

Sports Hankooki recently surveyed the leaders of five famous dance teams, asking them to choose an idol group member who they felt best excelled in dancing. Three out of the five chose Big Bang’s Taeyang, placing him at first; incidentally, these three choreographers are from Korea’s “Big 3″ companies – YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and SM Entertainment. YG Entertainment’s head choreographer High Tech’s Lee Jae Wook, commented, “There’s no other idol who could follow the strength, skill, and facial expressions Taeyang uses in his dance.”
JYP Entertainment’s head choreographer, Park Nam Yong, added, “His moves are clean and he’s exceptional at expressing his emotions.”
SM Entertainment’s head choreographer, Beat Burger’s Hwang Sang Hoon, praised, “His skill is exceptional.”
On the other hand, Play Dance’s Park Sang Hyun, who choreographed SECRET’s “Magic” and “Madonna“, chose Jay Park. He reasoned, “Jay Park is able to take on dances from both the old school and new school. …Maybe it’s because Jay Park grew up in the States, but he doesn’t follow the trends and creates his own style.”
Prepix’s Ha Woo Sin, the head choreographer for B2ST, chose members Junhyung and Hyunseung. ”Yong Junhyung professionally pursued dance and dreamt of becoming a dancer before he became a B2ST member. Because of that, every single one of his gestures set him apart from the other idol members. Jang Hyunseung is your traditional practice mania.”
Although they were able to come up with a majority consensus on male dancers, opinions on female dancers were divided; 2NE1’s Minzy and BoA were joint first with two votes each.
Lee Jae Wook reasoned, “Minzy has the ability of turning any dance into her own style,” while Park Sang Hun added, “Minzy is eye-catching. She has great technique when it comes to expressing a dance.”
Hwang Sang Hoon chose BoA, explaining, “She has the power of dominating a stage. I’d love to be able to see BoA and Taeyang on stage together.”
Ha Woo Sin gave a big thumbs up to miss A’s Min.  “Min has great power and is also understanding of local dances, most likely because she grew up in the States. I think she has a great understanding of dances, and is a great dancer overall.”

[drfaith101.livejournal.com]

I could watch Taemin dance all day

[cryssybloom.livejournal.com]

THAT GIF.. who's in it?

[imanat.livejournal.com]

That would be Yesung getting his groove on~

[drfaith101.livejournal.com]

I love both Minzy and BoA's dancing. Taemin is missing imo though and I think Yunho is really good too.

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

they're all good but I definitely enjoy Boa and Yunho dancing. Perfect combination of power, technique and charisma.

This bitch needs more recognition

shieeet

seriously, JYP has some damn good dancers but they never get many chances to show it off.

[onichick.livejournal.com]

I dont understand how they couldnt include Yesung in there...Sigh...How dare they.

XP

Not shocked by the choices. I was going to have to smack someone if Boa wasnt mentioned.

[imanat.livejournal.com]

Pfft, ikr? Obviously don't know talent when they see it.

[naturalhonee.livejournal.com]

it wouldve been more interesting if they weren't allowed to choose idols from their own companies. cube's choreographer couldn't resist naming 2 of its own in one category.

[asth77.livejournal.com]

ia

& I think it sounds more legit when someone says the name of an idol who's not in its own company

[ss501pixie.livejournal.com]

Lol ChoomTop should be number 1

[rabu-parade.livejournal.com]

No HyoHyuk? Oh, okay.

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

Hyoyeon is definitely underexposed. ;~; She's a wasted talent imo.

[iluvkidnappers.livejournal.com]

no kahi? really? shes fucking fly and im not even saying that as a fan :\\

[flumpool-shinee.livejournal.com]

what. minzy's all over the place when she's dancing tho. hmmm, i agree with boa. taeyang and min are pretty good. the rest idk.

this list really missed some of the other SM artists..
hmmm, and so what if they grew up in the US? i can't..

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

This article is slightly different from the one I read. It's more detailed here but Namyoung the sexy beast choosing Boa is not mentioned here.

Btw, boa+Taeyang collab will be like a dream comes true for me.

[moonfox35.livejournal.com]

Only here for the gif because this list is irrelevant without Lee Hyukjae.

[uksujusid.livejournal.com]

Only here for the GIF too..& I couldn't agree more with your comment..

[tofucakes.livejournal.com]

BoA is forever my queen

[asth77.livejournal.com]

yay for Jay :D

[flumpool-shinee.livejournal.com]

i couldn't agree more.

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

yesung is the best imo

gifs proved it

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

ofc BoA would be top <3

Minzy is overrated as a dancer. She's good and has the talent but she's not there yet. From most perfs I've seen, she's basically just trying to make her dance moves provocative and her moves aren't really as difficult as moves other female idols are doing. After a few years she'd be really good but now? No.

also Hyoyeon/Kahi not being acknowledged =/

[xica-s.livejournal.com]

ITA about Minzy. Popping yo ass and making sexy face doesn't really count as good dancing. But I think she definitely has talent and she seems to really work at her dancing so I'm sure she'll get better.

FUCK YEAH POPPIN DRAGON JAESOON

No Yunho ;___;

[aneeleniffum.livejournal.com]

HOMG THIS! i don't think he's overly unique or anything but he has his own style which i rarely see around :)

head choreographers don't know what real talent is

[imanat.livejournal.com]

The man is a prodigy.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

I don't know who the best is, but my favorites are jang woo hyuk, minwoo, and yunho. And junsu because of his hipthrusts and I'm biased like that. But seriously jang woo hyuk's body is like a rubber band and minwoo imo is a very creative dancer, and yunho is great as well.

[anjebel.livejournal.com]

seriously jang woo hyuk's body is like a rubber band and minwoo imo is a very creative dancer
ia completely, i love them both.
although i'm more biased towards minwoo, i could seriously watch him dance all day without getting bored even once.

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

Eunhyuk? Yunho? Xiah?

[jeca0510.livejournal.com]

mte -_-

[swrighteous.livejournal.com]

There are people not mentioned that are also damn good dancers - eunhyuk, yunho, gahee, choomtop, hyo, jia (thanx to qrizta I have a new found respect) to name a few - but all those that are mentioned have skill, no doubt.

I need more proper dance battle shows, special stages/performance in my k-pop gdi! End of year and holiday shows just haven't been delivering lately :/

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

I was reading and nodding to ur comment then suddenly i noticed a name that doesn't belong in the same sentence with the rest. LOL @ ChoomTOP

IA. MBC Dance Battle is getting worse and worse.
