That’s even more insane? Cause that means I’ve SEEN them without even knowing they created something I’ve been thinking about for years! Wow! I know it’s just a part of the job and the space you are in but i’m always so impressed by your insight on different artists who create in so many different spaces!

So what's cool is the person who choreographed this was only a dancer for Jungle, but the versitility is still something to admire~! Really LOVE this era we are in... Such an imprint!!

The chokehold this trailer had on me… wow you are really in THE era for me with BTS! Wings has such a special place in my heart….
really cool to see you go back to this and break it down! If you’ve seen the contrast of “dancers who make choreography look easy” vs “dancers who make choreography look hard” I think that would make for a really interesting exploration from your end- him being tired always made me more impressed because it SEEMED hard but I totally see how this looks different in the mind of a dancer! I also always got the impression that this was one of the first sessions JHope was doing this full sequence on a harder dance floor instead of the gymnastics springboards, and I’m wondering if there’s a possibility those absorbing a lot of the impact assisted in his attack of those athletic moves? I also find it so intriguing that he practices this barefoot and the final version was done in those chunky kpop loafers that were so prevalent at the time 😂
Once you get to Jimin’s Lie I think it would be so incredible to see your reaction to their performance together at the 2016 MAMA awards (though I know you’ve mentioned having an awards show series in the works) but I wonder if there’s any differences in JHope’s execution on the live stage that you might be able to analyze?
Sidenote, my mind is incredibly blown that this was choreographed by the same person who choreographed for Jungle? Makes me think of our small world 😂

I love that we got to touch on some things here that we weren't able to earlier with him! I tend to enjoy most things outside of child exploitation so even though it was more constructive here, it was still beautiful!

Awe, I’m glad at the end you said you enjoyed this because I wasn’t sure you were liking it. I always thought j-hope did such great job with not only the recording of this song, but his interpretation of the choreography. The subtleties that he may not have hit exactly right, in my opinion, didn’t take away from the overall performance and emotion. He dances, but he also acts out the meaning of the song through his movements and his facial expressions. He’s not mechanical. He manages to pull me in and make me feel the music just by watching him. It’s like listening to Suga’s rap and how you can feel the emotion in his delivery; I can often feel j-hope’s emotion through his movements. I love watching him. Anytime he takes on a solo performance, I’m all in! 😂 He’s not perfect all the time, but he makes me feel something. And that’s a gift.
