As I commented over on Cheers! - *gestures to all of Hoshi* the tiger obsession (btw this is his SECOND song called tiger, though it's much more official than the first)

The lack of cleanliness and the cuts can probably be explained by the fact that they only had 2 sessions to practice. It was a very tight project timewise, they practiced 2 evenings in a row then shot the Studio Choom performance on the 3rd day (no MV for this, it was just a project Hoshi wanted to do to celebrate International Tiger Day on the year of the tiger). They probably filmed this choreography video to serve as a camerawork guide for Studio Choom as the camera angles in it are almost the exact same.

AH! Gotcha! That makes so much more sense! Thank you for the clarification! The cuts normally don't bother me when SEVENTEEN does them since I always know there is a reason, but these felt a lot more than I was expecting (like one more cut compared to SUPER haha) Still a great piece for sure!

Just an FYI about the intent of this choreography, this was filmed and made exclusively as a studio choom release. It’s never been live performed, and I don’t think that was the intent of the choreography as it was made just as a way to explain the cuts but also just for context purposes of the movement choices
