I guess this dance is the tragedy of an abusive relationship in Korea years ago. A guy was madly in love with a girl and he locked her in a room. That's why Momo pushed Mina into the box. The girl contacted the police for help, and it was even all over the news, but no one did anything to help her. Eventually the girl died due to starvation and abuses. At the end of the dance a bunch of people came out covering their eyes pretending they cant see anything, that symbolizes the neglect of the society towards this incident. While the paint of their faces symbolizes the sin and responsibility on each of them. Yes indeed, Momo ( the guy) is the murderer in this case. Yet the dance wants to convey the message that the society indirectly killed the girl and should bear responsibility as well.
Can we just talk about how Momo can portray a psychopathic character? She's so good, with that evil smirk and smile plastered on her face. Mina being Momo's victim got me goosebumps, look at how good at handling her expression she is. It totally showed how terrified she was. Great performance🙌🏻
this is such a emotional presentation. the emotions portrayed by Mina are so real, you can really tell she's desesperated. I love the details that while she's dancing with Momo, it looks like she's analyzing and trying so hard to escape the box she's trapped in (like when she throws her leg high, looks like she's looking for an exit on the ceiling). She dances with Momo because because she is obliged to have a "relationship" with her to find a weakness in that allows her to escape. While Mina and Momo are dancing in sync, I noticed that while Momo dances exaggeratedly in the front and drag all the public's attention, Mina is in the background, faded away, slowly throwing herself to the floor (unlike Momo , who throws himself on the floor abruptly) and pretends to be stabbing herself and soon after, when Momo goes further completely insane and dominated by the feeling of happiness for finally having the object of her obsession in hands, Mina finally dies. The public's attention is never on the victim, but on the abuser; we are the public and mostly of us only notice that something is wrong with Mina when Momo panics, and still we pretend we haven't seen anything, a blind eye to the situation, because even those who haven seen that Mina needs to be save wouldn't do anything. I like the detail of "society" (those people in black clothes) just keep walking with their arms in front of their eyes while passing by Mina's dead body, like she was nothing, but still they interact with Momo, the abuser, and "mark" her with the black tin but still she's able to follow the line and being free to just keep living her life normally without having to worry with what she have done with Mina and the justice she deserved. It's been years and I'm sure to say: Momo is a freaking genius.
awesome analysis 👍 another thing i want to add is in around 0:51 (the part where mina's sitting in the box and momo's dancing outside of it), mina begins shivering and hugging her knees to her chest, which may mean that she's in the first few stages of desperation to escape that was a small detail i noticed, but all in all i loved your analysis and explanation!
Damn, this is huge! Such an amazing analysis. I love this performance because it shows that Momo and Mina are such amazing dancers and somehow this explanation makes it more satisfying.
Bruh, this is so intense Mina's scared facial expression mixed with Momo's psychotic facial expression, and the dancing, I feel like there's some deep message about it 😔✊
Its been 5 years and I still cannot get over the fact that this performance was last place. Just look at the emotions and facial expressions and just everything portrayed by Momo and Mina.
@@hafsa1698 dancing is about using your body to portray an emotion or idea, obviously if they danced without using facial expressions and have a :| face the entire time its going to look very awkward. so in theory they *did* do "enough dancing"
@@xjenzy5623 Dancing, especially contemporary pieces require technique as well, and anyone familiar with classical styles would recognize their technique was very novice, and not very good.
@@libfit9068 their technique wasn't extraordinary but it wasn't terrible... nonetheless i still believe they should have won because technique isn't the only thing u should take into account -from a dancer myself
@@xjenzy5623 It was no different than a couple of ppl who took a beginner contemporary class for a few days. You don't win a dance competition with amateur level dancing. -from a real dancer.
I love how this was from 4 years ago and people still couldn't get over the fact this performance did not win. Because, yeah... it should have won. I wonder what the criteria was?
Momo was the only one who did all different. Danced with a girl, showed a same sex couple, an abusive relationship and didn't play around with love in some cutesy or mature style. She told a side she probably knew no one would tell. She criticized a lot of things Korea does and she paid the price by getting the last place. But this? This is a masterpiece. She's expressing a whole story by DANCING, not acting some part or using a lot of makeup and costumes. She didn't have a dance break to satisfy the judges like most of the others did. Her expressions, movements and the way she connects with the song, that was it. That's what a real dancer should be capable of, showing emotions through his body. And once again the media breaks Momo's confidence by saying that she's not good enough to win something in which she was PERFECT.
_damn right...and some people have nerves to say mina is better than her...i am a dancer myself, and i even do ballet...i can clearly see that momo is on whole another level than mina!..mina is always stiff and awkward...and by the way, not all the time elegance is needed when dancing...lols!
people saying that this dance doesn’t have hard choreo probably haven’t danced or tried contemporary before. she had technique in there that isn’t ‘easy’ and her kick into the side stag leap was great. this dance was so so good and the story was beautiful. like honestly g down and look up how to dance before attacking them!!!!
Momo’s facial expressions .. especially at the beginning where Momo and Mina look into each other’s eyes it’s just so fucking intense I could not imagine doing a dance like that with one of my friends.. insane just insane
i remember one of the judge said that she almost died because she forgot to breath during the whole performance. Honestly i can relate. Every freaking time I watched this masterpiece. It just sucks all your oxygen out of you and demand your full attention. I don't remember how many time I have watched it, but it has always left me speechless. On the other hand, it also pisses me off because I remember how unappreciative the public was. Yes it did not have any fast breaking movements but the tension you feel the whole performance is enough to blow your mind. I will never ever shut up about this one of a kind masterpiece. Momo was still a rookie at that time, was still recovering from the trauma of that damn survival show 16, but she persisted and co-choreographed this magnificent routine. Also sooo much praise to Mina for playing the supportive role, her acting was on point. Frankly, I don't think it would have the same effect if Momo had choosen another partner, or someone from the opposite gender.
Momo losing because of this stage was so fucking ironic. Audience proved that just because they don't understand what it means it's not beautiful. Same way people reacted to the real story of this fucking beautiful performance. People being blind to the fucking truth.
@@jenna_maria its actually a true story in korea, this guy kidnapped his girlfriend and didnt fed her then got suffocated, he buried her in a suitcase, she was found by the police afterwards dead then the guy was arrested a few days later... I forgot the name of the case but it happened in korea, explains why the perf had a police record murmuring the case at the intro, kinda creepy though Found it: it was the case of sunny kim in 2015
Apparently Yugyeom(Got7) won And Yugyeom and MoMo were in the same company so I guess 50%He will give his prize to her OwO 50%He will let his huyngs proud UwU
This dance is truly a work of art. Unlike the other choreographies (no hate to the other dancers, they all did great) this dance displayed a story of something that happens in the real world, which is a toxic and abusive relationship. Momo represents the psychotic ex who locks Mina in a room and murders her. It's a real issue that happens every single day and it is horrifying. It plays off of emotions of anger, fear, and heartbreak and both of the dancers did an amazing job. Momo plays the role perfectly, her evil menace at the end, and so does Mina, you can see the fear in her eyes as she is being locked up. This dance, it doesn't attempt to appeal to the judges by playing off of a lighthearted aesthetic like cute, badass, or sexy. It's dark, dreadful, and terrifying. As a dancer I really appreciate the artistry and depth behind this choreography.
Momos dances are so dark, her dances are amazing by themselves but to add Mina was just brilliant. This is why she is the best dancer in my opinion, by the way Lisa said she loved her dancing.
You will know how smart momo is when mostly dancers in the show do this comcept must have some break dance who korean think its great(its great but its overused) i think momo the only one who really did a story with the concept.
hey hey Also, momo and mina conveyed the story well with those moves and face expressions. i just dont get it why the judges didnt see this as masterpiece like i do (i dont even know much abt contemporary dance(?) but this stage somehow makes me emotional idk y xD)
hey hey exactly!!! The theme of that week is "love" and most of them do cute lovey dovey, or sexy couple dance meanwhile momo decide to do "dark concept" like this.. Like no one even think about this kind of performance
아기맹수StanLilCub It’s simple. They didn’t understand. Or at least, they pretended to not understand. Momo brought on that stage mental illness, a toxic relationship, two girls dancing and a “creepy” concept. These things don’t go well together in Korea. Not when we’re talking about a girl, especially if the girl we’re talking about is Momo, whose figure is pretty innocent since she’s in Twice.
Mina is an amazing dancer. Not only are her moves elegant and freeflowing, her facial expressions sell the performance. She is just an all around talented and hardworking performer, and if she had gone a different way and just focused solely on dance and choreography, she would've likely still been a huge success. In any other Idol Group Mina would be the Main Dancer without a doubt, and we'd all accept that at face value. The fact that Momo can outshine Mina speaks volumes. Their chemistry here, though, that's a joy to behold.
This video is just INSANE. I am watching it over and over again. EXPLANATION (just my point of view) : The man on the radio says "a 20year old guy has locked his girldriend to death". The girls are lovers, and have a relationship. When they have their back on each other, that's the balance, an equilibre in their relationship. But momo doesn't keep the balance. She took the advantage because she loves her too much, wants to keep her for herself and locked her in the cage. The bandages are like keeping her prisoner(you can see a link with 50shades of grey too, because of the song, the bandages, the relationship about domination). Then the girl kills herself because she couldn't take it anymore. At that moment the breath of the Beyonce is perfect showing the last breath of the girl and the helpless's feeling of Momo. The sheet is red because of the death. Momo wears black because she represents the bad. The people are the society. They are in black and white because they are bad and good. They cover their eyes because they are acting as if they don't see what happened. The camouflage on momo represents her sin. Or we could say that she becomes a member of the society, because they all have thoose fingerprints. Then they walk in front the body as if it doesn't exist. Momo returns in the society like nothing happened, she is a part of the society. But then she stops and look at us like I know that you know what I did. Like a warning, as a spectator is to never let that happen again.. Her expressions were really amazing, when she was crazy in love, laughing, crying. I don't really know her but she could defenetly try art dance in theater or actress
apparently this is portraying a real story of an abusive relationship that occurred years ago in Korea. I think they aren't clapping because that was a real life tragedy and it seemed inappropriate to clap
Art is supposed to challenge what is wrong and raise questions. Art is supposed to express feelings, emotions, and experiences. An art piece might make you uncomfortable, but it's doing it's job, it'll make you think and make you question yourself and your environment. Don't get me wrong, I love high energy dance performances, but this performance gave me goosebumps.
@@daytodye1065 The song that was used was an ost of '50 Shades of Grey' but the meaning of their performance is different from the movie. It happened in real life in SK. Just search it somewhere in the comment section. Someone explained it a long time ago.
momo and mina are some of the best dancers in kpop. they have shown versatility in their dances (ballet, hip hop, contemporary) unlike most kpop dancers.
Everything in this performance from the song choice to the dance moves to the props down to the smallest of detail was symbolism and a story. It was the representation of the story of a healthy relationship that had become toxic and dangerous because of one person in the equation. The first dance move of rocking back and forth was basically a scale - balance. They had a healthy relationship of giving-and-taking initially, but when Momo's character bent onto Mina's back, lines and boundaries were crossed. Momo's character, consumed by her extreme emotions, had twisted her perception in such a way that she thought that she would lose Mina if she didn't push her lover into the cage. She wanted to control and possess her lover. The song choice, particularly, was significant in the entire performance. Dwell into the lyrics and you'll see how the intensity of the instrumentals helped in the delivery of the emotions in the storyline. Beyonce's deep breath as the black curtains dropped was right on cue; it was Mina, the victim, taking her last breath. The volume of the deep breath shows the significance of Mina's character and how her death would affect Momo's character very, very deeply. The paint symbolised how Momo's character will forever be haunted and tainted by the fact that it was her extremist behaviour and actions that had caused the death of the one she loved the most. Walking figures with hands over their eyes was society in ignorance; oblivious to the severity of violence and abuse in a relationship. Society continues to move forward, blind to the fact that such events do take place and that the dominance and control of males in a relationship should not be deemed as the ways of a 'real man', but the symptoms to a toxic relationship that could prove to be dangerous. Perhaps why this stage had only received 140+ votes was because the viewers could not grasp the meaning behind the entire performance or they just could not see the painful truth that society, too, was to blame for the cultivation of such relationships. After all, the truth was never as pretty as a lie. In this performance, you must not ONLY see, you must also feel. Also, take note of Mina's character and her portrayal of desperation and fear. The extremism of Momo's character and the ignorance of society were the main themes of this performance. I enjoyed the performance very much and hope to see more of such intensity from Momo (kudos to Mina too!) :)
No problem; I just wanted to make the picture clearer for those who have difficulty in interpreting it. Momo and Mina are amazing in their respective roles and they pulled this performance off together really, really well :) 140+ points is lesser than what they deserve.
Omg I legit had goosebumps when I watched this and then I read your comment. I'm new to Twice and have started binge watching their performance and thank you so much for your explanation! This helped me understand it so much more
You know JYP was right to give them the "main dancer" title.. I swear this gives me chills.. despite almost watching it every day. The story they portrayed is just phenomenal.. Their acting was also on point, Momo as a psychopath gave me chills while I feel for Mina's place being the receiver of whatever Momo's obsession was w her... Hands down..
The facial expression of Momo and Mina are out of this world. You can tell they were really playing the character's not just dancing. I cant believe they didn't win. I dont understand why people say they were lacking, they poured everything into this. This is a masterpiece
i guess the story ran too deep for the voters to understand? i'm not saying she should've won but i can't believe she only got 141. when i watched it live i literally had goosebumps, it's an incredible performance. she's not just dancing but delivering art. the fvk is 141 votes!
I think the Voters were a lot more harsh this time around as not many people got votes over 150 as last weeks genre pretty much everyone did if not very close... that's what i think though, but we will have to see what the votes are like next week :) She did very well though!
Hands down the best dancers in Twice. They don’t only utilise their bodies in dancing, they also utilise their facial expressions to really tell a story and express emotions.
This is so emotional and touching, Momo and Mina both expressed the feeling of being terrified by love, the desperation, the sorrow of parting. Their body moves, their facial expression everything was on point, i'm so proud of Momo and i think that's her best stage so far!
it's been 6 years and I'm still not over how they put this dance in last place. the passion through telling the story of a toxic and abusive relationship. a side of love no one has the guts to tell and they showed through amazing dancing and emotions
Ya'll let's be honest here we clown momo for being 'unsmart' as a joke but when it comes to dance Momo is so smart. In my opinion she is one of the best girl group dancers in the third generation because of her story's in her dance.
The reason why she was unsmart was because when she was in school someone pushed her into a walk and momo started bleeding and said she became less smart from that day
Leonor Madeira Pinto Nunes it’s from an episode on knowing bros, she said that someone from her elementary school ended up pushing her when she was running, and she hit her head and bled. She also said that her mom said she ended up being a little slower after the incident
이 무대 진짜 가끔 생각나서 보러옴.. 데뷔하고 얼마 안 지났을때인데 이런 퍼포먼스를 할 수 있다는게 정말 대단하다.. 컨셉도 너무 잘 표현했고 파고들수록 요소 하나하나가 소름끼치는 무대.. 주제가 사랑이었는데 전혀 예상하지 못한 컨셉이었어서 더 기억에 남는듯.. 둘 다 표정연기 진짜ㅜㅜㅠ
yeah i am bitter the emotional dance who voiced out heavy issue like domestic violence get less votes than thos humping to the floor dance.but those viewers in studio who can vote mostly fangirls so yeah
Unfortunately the voters are being bias. I mean I am a Momo bias, but the reason I like her so much IS because she's a talented dancer, so as for the votes go, I'm sure people are voting for their bias regardless of the performance. Which shouldn't be right, it should be about the prior Nance as a whole, not just because of personal opinion of the style of dance.
+Diah Sari their performance is about domestic violence. The voice in the first few seconds is a reporter saying "a girlfriend that is locked up is now found" or something like that
and I'm still here, watching this performance hundred times. I don't know, but this video really gives me goosebumps whenever I decipher the heavy and deep meaning of it. This is unique among the other performances they had. The concept is so beautiful and when u watch it for the first time, you'll be amazed by how they convey the dark definition of love through their choreography. Just wow momo and mina!
@@babibird4083 I don't really remember the full details, I only saw it on a comment(that I cant find anymore). Its basically about a guy in Korea who had an abusive relationship with his girlfriend. I think he tortured and hurt her until she died. I think(from what I remember)the media or the government covered it up because it was so brutal?That's why the dancers with the black and white were at the end. I'm pretty sure I got something wrong, but that's the overall summary. If you listen at 0:10 theres a radio/audio clip of the news reporter talking about the story. I'm not very good at korean, but the reporter mentions girlfriend and man. It also implies some sort of murder/torture. Hope this helps!
Had this show been a physical theatre contest, there is no doubt she would have won. Theme wise this is incredible, and the moves really portray the emotions and actions in the "character"'s relationship.
Momo could easily play a psychopathic character in a movie or series. The way she expresses her ambition to have Mina all to herself is amazing. The dancing, the movements, the facial expressions, it was all spectacular! Momo never lets me down.
This is not only about Momo, but Mina too, Momo is the one who choose Mina to be her partner, soft and powerful combination, it's a shame they didn't win because the audience think it's a "same sex" relationship but no, it's a true story about the police Ignoring a girl's request for help, Mina take on the role of that girl and end up die with her body Cut into pieces, meanwhile Momo is her abusive boyfriend, and the dancers who wear black outfits in the end is the police try covering up the case, well this is heavy.
The fact that this performance portray the most controversial and most complicated plot and none of those people gets it!! its so powerful two great dancer delivering a toxic relationship and the minds of those people who voted are so ordinary for them to understand this.. they could've won in a different platform but not in korea when a lot of things specially homosexuality is a taboo and toxic relationship are being blinded coz were asians ,,ridiculous!!
@Ffff 5edg no. It's about a toxic relationship. Looks like it is representation of a real life incident in S.Korea where a man madly in love with a girl captured her and put her in a room. She cried for help but no one came. Eventually she died from starvation and abuse. The police arrived late and the people acted surprised but didn't care
“being blinded coz were Asians,,,ridiculous” what does that mean?? Also, I get what you’re trying to say but it’s just coming off hateful and protective. It’s a dancing competition, most of the time they put more heavy emphasis on technique rather than artistry
As a contemporary choreographer I think she did wonderfully and I honestly think this style fits her better than some of the other styles She is able to convey a deeper meaning with her dances but I think that it's also more of an American style that people in Korea aren't necessarily more familiar with which is why I think she got so low of a score
#teudongieprado contemporary dance its a style of expressive dance with a combination of modern dance ballet and jazz lyrical. a contemporary dancer strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements
1:45 - 1:50 Mina's part. That little detail should be noticed. This is really great. The emotions, the choreography, the meaning, the story. I mean, love isn't just about those butterflies-in-stomach-and-rainbow-like-feelings (which can be seen from other performances). This two was smart enough to show us one of the darkest meaning of love and if this hadn't amazed the judges, I don't know why others' did.
Ok, so here's the story that I see from this. At the beginning, they are bowing back and forth, probably symbolizing having to apologize to society for loving each other. At one point, Momo gets so frustrated about it that she gives up, and pushes her lover into a box. She begins taking her anger out on her, until one day she dies. Momo realizes what she's done, and commits suicide??? And joins the many girls who have followed the same path before. THIS IS AMAZING WTF
Amy Huang I always thought that when they would bow back and forth it meant time. Like the time they put into the relationship, and how it's a give and take so they kept going back in forth equally. When Momo starts leaning back more on Mina, I thought it meant that Momo started to stop giving and just started taking instead , so she became more selfish with the love until the girl dies later on
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE SO MUCH AND WHY MOMO SHOULD GOTTEN MORE VOTES There are so many ways to think of this because it's a story that people can relate and apply to their own life story in order to see a certain lesson. But the Korean audience only sees the flashy, loud catchy performances and looks past the deep, profound, extremely philosophically challenging ones that took time to plan and execute!
THIS WAS SO INTENSE I HAD MY MOUTH OPEN THE WHOLE TIME! HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE.. MOMO’s DANCING AND ACTING.. MINA’s ACTING DANCING AND EXPRESSIONS WERE JUST ON POINT.. wow.. am I the only one who felt this??? Like.. the feeling they were portraying? This is beyond perfect
Momo is great at dancing "modern dance". Really. But this performance was so underrated, one year later I still can'tforgive it. It gives me chills everytime...
THE EMOTION FROM THIS STAGE GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!! Momo just showed us how you dance with a partner with chemistry and at the same time didn't outshine her performance, and both of them complete each other. SHE OWNED HER STAGE. Mina was there to complete her and her best partner! Seriously the people at the show was so biased. I watched both Momo and Ten performance and TBH THE ROOKIES DID THE BEST. They deserve better votes! Especially this stage! The dancing, the acting and even the feeling was on point!! Mina and MOMO did the best so far for me!! Momo portrayed an obsessive person so crazily great and Mina the victim look so helpless and scared. The best for me and I enjoy this stage. I NEED MORE 2 MINUTES IS NOT ENOUGH. DAMN IT!!!
seriously ! something's so wrong with the audience Ten and Momo both showed great skills and got low scores I just don't get it , it's probably cuz no one talked about their skills before so people underestimate them
It's so unfair for them. In my opinion, Ten and MoMo have the best performances. They deseve to have higher score. WHAT WRONG WITH THE AUDITION. ARE THEY BLIND ???????
i didn't really understand it too...but i thought the dance and concept was very good! very passionate and acting out sich expressions! was the performance kinda about a maniac who kept a victim captive, killed them and regrets it at the end...? hahs i'm sorry for not really getting it XD
Its clear that the audience as well as the judges simply didn't understand the concept and the message the choreo was conveying. Its sad since this honestly gave me goosebumps
momo should've win this match! the way they portrayed the characters, the concept, the choreography, the hidden message... ig the people there aren't that much open to this kind of delivery. they might've been confused and didn't understand this magnificent masterpiece that aims to wake us up to reality. let me bow down to our MOMO best girl!!!
that stillness after the performance. I guess everyone didn't know how to react. even I was speechless and I was watching this on youtube 4 years later. it's that powerful.
+Polish Blink oh yeah. i read the comment too fast lol. so it goes to : It WOULD'NT won if it were in America. and : Korean aint already. lmao this is so awkard tho. and my mother language isnt English too, so although there were so many differences in grammar, i didn't realize. anw thank you for answering my stupid question.
The best part is the focus on Feeldog's face. He knows how amazing it actually was that he couldn't close his mouth. I bet almost everyone was like that.
I fall in love with how both of their acting and dancing. It's their first time but it feels like they've been doing it for a long time. So perfect and beautiful but also I feel pain in my chest. This is Masterpiece from Twice Momo and Twice Mina. Well done girls 👏👏 Too bad, the judges and the participants didn't understand or should we say "they pretend to not understand" 🙃🙃
Same Americans are so much more tolerant when it comes to controversial things when it comes to controversial things in Korean standards but it's normal here.
The twice dance line is good! They are all slowly showing their talents. I think this performance deserved way more than 141. I like the meaning behind it too. This gave me goosebumps
The story is about abusing relationship but the public chose to ignore it (hence the backdancers keep backing away) until shes gone then she realises she has nothing and become one those mindless drones
+hallyu fan its abusing relationship (the cage) but the people around them ignore it (the backdancers) when she really gone then she realize she have nothing and disintegrate into ash (the black mark on face)
Can I ask what kind of dance this is? Is this Modern or Contemporary? Because I want to use this video for my presentation in PE... And Momo is my bias... And I'm gay...
realist momo participated in many things related to dance, for example she participated in the team of the best dancers of korea and she was part of it with mina
OMFG THIS IS ART. Dancing is meant to be like this. No words, your movements express your feelings. The audience feels the emotions the dancer is conveying. Momo and Mina did very well, I have such a hard time believing they're just rookies. Momo especially; Jyp knew what he was doing when brought her back to join Twice.
ppl who are saying they did too much acting and not enough dancing, never were in an abusive relationship, and will NEVER understand how well this is portayed.
This is how I interpreted the dance. This represents a toxic relationship. I guess between two girls. Momo is the controlling one. I think they chose the song “Crazy in Love” to represent Momo’s obsession with Mina. Being so in love she trapped her in a relationship or the box. When they both dance in sync, it’s Mina willing and playing along because she has to. They are also out of sync being they don’t belong together. The black cloth and Mina lying is either, Momo loved her too much or Mina ran away. The black paint is the representation of evil.
Uncommon Name it’s about the suwon torso incident, Kim sunny was walking home and she was taken my her ex boyfriend and dismembered into 180 pieces, before she died she called the police telling them where she was countless times but they where 13 hours late,
they was also this case where this girl had a stalker who had fallen in love with her. he kidnapped her and held her hostage. eventually she died. the ending has to do with the fact society turned a blind eye to what he did. the dance has so many different meanings
@@taebreeze7349 You just jumbled 2 stories together, the Torso Incident is a different incident to Kim Sunny one. In Suwon Torso incident the woman was grabbed off of a street by a random man, she called the police when he went away for a bit, but the police was incompetent, asking too many stupid questions and arriving 13 after the call, when the girl was already dismembered into 180 pieces.
I guess this dance is the tragedy of an abusive relationship in Korea years ago. A guy was madly in love with a girl and he locked her in a room. That's why Momo pushed Mina into the box. The girl contacted the police for help, and it was even all over the news, but no one did anything to help her. Eventually the girl died due to starvation and abuses. At the end of the dance a bunch of people came out covering their eyes pretending they cant see anything, that symbolizes the neglect of the society towards this incident. While the paint of their faces symbolizes the sin and responsibility on each of them. Yes indeed, Momo ( the guy) is the murderer in this case. Yet the dance wants to convey the message that the society indirectly killed the girl and should bear responsibility as well.
It's a pity that the audience seemed not to understand the deeper meaning behind this magnificent piece of artwork. This dance is totally underrated.
Where can I read about this?
Do you have any links to the story or any specific titles I can search for?
Dorothy Wong did this really happen already in Korean in the past?
ImChou Tzuyu yes
Can we just talk about how Momo can portray a psychopathic character? She's so good, with that evil smirk and smile plastered on her face. Mina being Momo's victim got me goosebumps, look at how good at handling her expression she is. It totally showed how terrified she was. Great performance🙌🏻

this is such a emotional presentation. the emotions portrayed by Mina are so real, you can really tell she's desesperated. I love the details that while she's dancing with Momo, it looks like she's analyzing and trying so hard to escape the box she's trapped in (like when she throws her leg high, looks like she's looking for an exit on the ceiling). She dances with Momo because because she is obliged to have a "relationship" with her to find a weakness in that allows her to escape. While Mina and Momo are dancing in sync, I noticed that while Momo dances exaggeratedly in the front and drag all the public's attention, Mina is in the background, faded away, slowly throwing herself to the floor (unlike Momo , who throws himself on the floor abruptly) and pretends to be stabbing herself and soon after, when Momo goes further completely insane and dominated by the feeling of happiness for finally having the object of her obsession in hands, Mina finally dies. The public's attention is never on the victim, but on the abuser; we are the public and mostly of us only notice that something is wrong with Mina when Momo panics, and still we pretend we haven't seen anything, a blind eye to the situation, because even those who haven seen that Mina needs to be save wouldn't do anything.
I like the detail of "society" (those people in black clothes) just keep walking with their arms in front of their eyes while passing by Mina's dead body, like she was nothing, but still they interact with Momo, the abuser, and "mark" her with the black tin but still she's able to follow the line and being free to just keep living her life normally without having to worry with what she have done with Mina and the justice she deserved. It's been years and I'm sure to say: Momo is a freaking genius.
awesome analysis 👍 another thing i want to add is in around 0:51 (the part where mina's sitting in the box and momo's dancing outside of it), mina begins shivering and hugging her knees to her chest, which may mean that she's in the first few stages of desperation to escape
that was a small detail i noticed, but all in all i loved your analysis and explanation!
Absolutely
Deep.
I love this analysis
Damn, this is huge! Such an amazing analysis. I love this performance because it shows that Momo and Mina are such amazing dancers and somehow this explanation makes it more satisfying.

there is indeed a deep message hidden in this performance. it's about the "suwon torso incident" that happened before in korea

@@minminminerva552 yes, at 0:08 there is a news anchor reporting the news

Suwon torso incident,.
Its been 5 years and I still cannot get over the fact that this performance was last place. Just look at the emotions and facial expressions and just everything portrayed by Momo and Mina.
bc it's dance competition not an acting competition. She used too much theatrics and not enough dancing
@@hafsa1698 dancing is about using your body to portray an emotion or idea, obviously if they danced without using facial expressions and have a :| face the entire time its going to look very awkward. so in theory they *did* do "enough dancing"
@@xjenzy5623 Dancing, especially contemporary pieces require technique as well, and anyone familiar with classical styles would recognize their technique was very novice, and not very good.
@@libfit9068 their technique wasn't extraordinary but it wasn't terrible... nonetheless i still believe they should have won because technique isn't the only thing u should take into account

I love how this was from 4 years ago and people still couldn't get over the fact this performance did not win. Because, yeah... it should have won. I wonder what the criteria was?
It was audience votes + judges votes. Obviously audience will pick their fav artists. Also this concept is new to Korean GP & they are still rookies
@@stayonce6 thanks, that makes sense 🙂
So momo was runner up?
@@savlounge3889 i’m pretty sure she was last 😟
@@toonerdytolive_7365 oh okay, thank you
Momo was the only one who did all different. Danced with a girl, showed a same sex couple, an abusive relationship and didn't play around with love in some cutesy or mature style. She told a side she probably knew no one would tell. She criticized a lot of things Korea does and she paid the price by getting the last place. But this? This is a masterpiece. She's expressing a whole story by DANCING, not acting some part or using a lot of makeup and costumes. She didn't have a dance break to satisfy the judges like most of the others did. Her expressions, movements and the way she connects with the song, that was it. That's what a real dancer should be capable of, showing emotions through his body. And once again the media breaks Momo's confidence by saying that she's not good enough to win something in which she was PERFECT.
Book Lover couldn’t have said it better myself 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👏❤❤
So damn true, wish there were more people like you👏🏽👏🏽😁
_damn right...and some people have nerves to say mina is better than her...i am a dancer myself, and i even do ballet...i can clearly see that momo is on whole another level than mina!..mina is always stiff and awkward...and by the way, not all the time elegance is needed when dancing...lols!
Momo is too good for Korea
people saying that this dance doesn’t have hard choreo probably haven’t danced or tried contemporary before. she had technique in there that isn’t ‘easy’ and her kick into the side stag leap was great. this dance was so so good and the story was beautiful. like honestly g down and look up how to dance before attacking them!!!!
Charlotte Kindl true lol they should check SYTYCD where a lot of hip hopers struggling dancing to contemporary
in fact it was actually momo’s first attempt at contemporary!
contemporary is wayyy harder than street or hip hop tbh you need so much core strength and flexibility
charisse
dAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNN
Girl is tALENTED!
the choreo is hard! like you probably have never dance before if you think that
Momo’s facial expressions .. especially at the beginning where Momo and Mina look into each other’s eyes it’s just so fucking intense I could not imagine doing a dance like that with one of my friends.. insane just insane
If my bestie and I tried it we would burst out of laughter 😂. Still disappointed that this performance came last
i remember one of the judge said that she almost died because she forgot to breath during the whole performance. Honestly i can relate. Every freaking time I watched this masterpiece. It just sucks all your oxygen out of you and demand your full attention. I don't remember how many time I have watched it, but it has always left me speechless. On the other hand, it also pisses me off because I remember how unappreciative the public was. Yes it did not have any fast breaking movements but the tension you feel the whole performance is enough to blow your mind. I will never ever shut up about this one of a kind masterpiece. Momo was still a rookie at that time, was still recovering from the trauma of that damn survival show 16, but she persisted and co-choreographed this magnificent routine. Also sooo much praise to Mina for playing the supportive role, her acting was on point. Frankly, I don't think it would have the same effect if Momo had choosen another partner, or someone from the opposite gender.
When you put two of the strongest dancers together you get this kinda masterpiece. If they were in America they would've won, periodt..
keyairauh yea too bad they got a low score though :(
Ka Grace they got low votes cause Koreans dont support gay love
Don't mess up my Exo LMFAOAOA
That and because all the fan girls in the audience voted for their oppas
Yes this is what I thought, this performance wasn’t just a dance performance, but they really put so much emotions, story, and a message 💙
Can anyone tell me who the guy at 1:14 is... I just can't remember him
Momo losing because of this stage was so fucking ironic. Audience proved that just because they don't understand what it means it's not beautiful. Same way people reacted to the real story of this fucking beautiful performance. People being blind to the fucking truth.
Panic!at the disCHOI YOUNGJAE if you don’t mind me asking, what is the real story?
Jenna Maria well what do you think the story of the performance is.... Isn't it clear just by watching it?
Twice Life well yeah but since they said “real”, I assumed there was some other backstory to it other than the story visibly shown here.
@@jenna_maria its actually a true story in korea, this guy kidnapped his girlfriend and didnt fed her then got suffocated, he buried her in a suitcase, she was found by the police afterwards dead then the guy was arrested a few days later... I forgot the name of the case but it happened in korea, explains why the perf had a police record murmuring the case at the intro, kinda creepy though
Found it: it was the case of sunny kim in 2015
Apparently Yugyeom(Got7) won
And Yugyeom and MoMo were in the same company so I guess
50%He will give his prize to her OwO
50%He will let his huyngs proud UwU
This dance is truly a work of art. Unlike the other choreographies (no hate to the other dancers, they all did great) this dance displayed a story of something that happens in the real world, which is a toxic and abusive relationship. Momo represents the psychotic ex who locks Mina in a room and murders her. It's a real issue that happens every single day and it is horrifying. It plays off of emotions of anger, fear, and heartbreak and both of the dancers did an amazing job. Momo plays the role perfectly, her evil menace at the end, and so does Mina, you can see the fear in her eyes as she is being locked up. This dance, it doesn't attempt to appeal to the judges by playing off of a lighthearted aesthetic like cute, badass, or sexy. It's dark, dreadful, and terrifying. As a dancer I really appreciate the artistry and depth behind this choreography.
Momos dances are so dark, her dances are amazing by themselves but to add Mina was just brilliant. This is why she is the best dancer in my opinion, by the way Lisa said she loved her dancing.
You will know how smart momo is when mostly dancers in the show do this comcept must have some break dance who korean think its great(its great but its overused) i think momo the only one who really did a story with the concept.
hey hey Also, momo and mina conveyed the story well with those moves and face expressions. i just dont get it why the judges didnt see this as masterpiece like i do
(i dont even know much abt contemporary dance(?) but this stage somehow makes me emotional idk y xD)
hey hey exactly!!! The theme of that week is "love" and most of them do cute lovey dovey, or sexy couple dance meanwhile momo decide to do "dark concept" like this.. Like no one even think about this kind of performance
아기맹수StanLilCub korea not ready for dance with heavy message
hey hey i think the same
아기맹수StanLilCub It’s simple. They didn’t understand. Or at least, they pretended to not understand. Momo brought on that stage mental illness, a toxic relationship, two girls dancing and a “creepy” concept. These things don’t go well together in Korea. Not when we’re talking about a girl, especially if the girl we’re talking about is Momo, whose figure is pretty innocent since she’s in Twice.
Mina is an amazing dancer. Not only are her moves elegant and freeflowing, her facial expressions sell the performance. She is just an all around talented and hardworking performer, and if she had gone a different way and just focused solely on dance and choreography, she would've likely still been a huge success.
In any other Idol Group Mina would be the Main Dancer without a doubt, and we'd all accept that at face value.
The fact that Momo can outshine Mina speaks volumes.
Their chemistry here, though, that's a joy to behold.
Aren't they both main dancers? Their profiles said they were.

Hey here after momo's 2021 dance teaser and 2017 dance partition right? 😅
This video is just INSANE. I am watching it over and over again. EXPLANATION (just my point of view) : The man on the radio says "a 20year old guy has locked his girldriend to death". The girls are lovers, and have a relationship. When they have their back on each other, that's the balance, an equilibre in their relationship. But momo doesn't keep the balance. She took the advantage because she loves her too much, wants to keep her for herself and locked her in the cage. The bandages are like keeping her prisoner(you can see a link with 50shades of grey too, because of the song, the bandages, the relationship about domination). Then the girl kills herself because she couldn't take it anymore. At that moment the breath of the Beyonce is perfect showing the last breath of the girl and the helpless's feeling of Momo. The sheet is red because of the death. Momo wears black because she represents the bad. The people are the society. They are in black and white because they are bad and good. They cover their eyes because they are acting as if they don't see what happened. The camouflage on momo represents her sin. Or we could say that she becomes a member of the society, because they all have thoose fingerprints. Then they walk in front the body as if it doesn't exist. Momo returns in the society like nothing happened, she is a part of the society. But then she stops and look at us like I know that you know what I did. Like a warning, as a spectator is to never let that happen again.. Her expressions were really amazing, when she was crazy in love, laughing, crying. I don't really know her but she could defenetly try art dance in theater or actress
Myriam Mahlouf wow nice interpretation 👏
This almost made me pee in my pants holy shit that aint no person that’s a psychopath ur talking about 😨

I do not think so, she had the least amount of votes

apparently this is portraying a real story of an abusive relationship that occurred years ago in Korea. I think they aren't clapping because that was a real life tragedy and it seemed inappropriate to clap

Art is supposed to challenge what is wrong and raise questions. Art is supposed to express feelings, emotions, and experiences. An art piece might make you uncomfortable, but it's doing it's job, it'll make you think and make you question yourself and your environment. Don't get me wrong, I love high energy dance performances, but this performance gave me goosebumps.
👆👆👆👏👏👏
so agree.
I totally agree with you
What you said gave me goosebumps too.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dancing isn't about which one has the most complicated moves. But how we feel the move, how each move give us a meaning. Thus this one is MASTERPIECE!
@Emily X 50 shades of grey
I am 🤣
@@daytodye1065 The song that was used was an ost of '50 Shades of Grey' but the meaning of their performance is different from the movie. It happened in real life in SK. Just search it somewhere in the comment section. Someone explained it a long time ago.
Louder!!!
Yes!!
momo and mina are some of the best dancers in kpop. they have shown versatility in their dances (ballet, hip hop, contemporary) unlike most kpop dancers.
If this was performed in States or different country I bet it would get a standing ovation
It wouldn't in America. If it was performed at a real dance competition here in America it would not do well at all.
Everything in this performance from the song choice to the dance moves to the props down to the smallest of detail was symbolism and a story. It was the representation of the story of a healthy relationship that had become toxic and dangerous because of one person in the equation. The first dance move of rocking back and forth was basically a scale - balance. They had a healthy relationship of giving-and-taking initially, but when Momo's character bent onto Mina's back, lines and boundaries were crossed. Momo's character, consumed by her extreme emotions, had twisted her perception in such a way that she thought that she would lose Mina if she didn't push her lover into the cage. She wanted to control and possess her lover.
The song choice, particularly, was significant in the entire performance. Dwell into the lyrics and you'll see how the intensity of the instrumentals helped in the delivery of the emotions in the storyline. Beyonce's deep breath as the black curtains dropped was right on cue; it was Mina, the victim, taking her last breath. The volume of the deep breath shows the significance of Mina's character and how her death would affect Momo's character very, very deeply. The paint symbolised how Momo's character will forever be haunted and tainted by the fact that it was her extremist behaviour and actions that had caused the death of the one she loved the most. Walking figures with hands over their eyes was society in ignorance; oblivious to the severity of violence and abuse in a relationship. Society continues to move forward, blind to the fact that such events do take place and that the dominance and control of males in a relationship should not be deemed as the ways of a 'real man', but the symptoms to a toxic relationship that could prove to be dangerous.
Perhaps why this stage had only received 140+ votes was because the viewers could not grasp the meaning behind the entire performance or they just could not see the painful truth that society, too, was to blame for the cultivation of such relationships. After all, the truth was never as pretty as a lie. In this performance, you must not ONLY see, you must also feel. Also, take note of Mina's character and her portrayal of desperation and fear. The extremism of Momo's character and the ignorance of society were the main themes of this performance. I enjoyed the performance very much and hope to see more of such intensity from Momo (kudos to Mina too!) :)
sc99hom Wow. You are so smart. Thank you for appreciating our Momo and Mina. :)
No problem; I just wanted to make the picture clearer for those who have difficulty in interpreting it. Momo and Mina are amazing in their respective roles and they pulled this performance off together really, really well :) 140+ points is lesser than what they deserve.
well put
perfectly described!
Omg I legit had goosebumps when I watched this and then I read your comment. I'm new to Twice and have started binge watching their performance and thank you so much for your explanation! This helped me understand it so much more
The first thing that came to my mind watching this performance was an abusive relationship.
im glad they represented it well enough ❤️👏👏👏👏
Yes! and I thought of obsession, but in a toxic way, so in other words abuse! I thought it was a great performance
they have so much passion when they move omg
That's exactly what this is. Momo based this off of a real story in which a 20 year old boy locked up a girl he liked in his house and she died there
how do you know she based it off off that?
You know JYP was right to give them the "main dancer" title.. I swear this gives me chills.. despite almost watching it every day. The story they portrayed is just phenomenal.. Their acting was also on point, Momo as a psychopath gave me chills while I feel for Mina's place being the receiver of whatever Momo's obsession was w her... Hands down..
The facial expression of Momo and Mina are out of this world. You can tell they were really playing the character's not just dancing. I cant believe they didn't win. I dont understand why people say they were lacking, they poured everything into this. This is a masterpiece
i guess the story ran too deep for the voters to understand? i'm not saying she should've won but i can't believe she only got 141. when i watched it live i literally had goosebumps, it's an incredible performance. she's not just dancing but delivering art. the fvk is 141 votes!
I think the Voters were a lot more harsh this time around as not many people got votes over 150 as last weeks genre pretty much everyone did if not very close... that's what i think though, but we will have to see what the votes are like next week :) She did very well though!
May i ask what's the story?
+destiny rodriguez the story is momo loved Mina so much she trapped her in a room so she could only have her to herself and Mina eventually dies
+Katerza (Invisibleseeker) oh wow that's crazy but they were so good this dance gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it
destiny rodriguez yup I loved the dance and the story so much!
Hands down the best dancers in Twice. They don’t only utilise their bodies in dancing, they also utilise their facial expressions to really tell a story and express emotions.

they deserve their main dancer title

YYYYESSSSSSS
yesss mina looked so terrified and momo looked hella scary
Actually Mina's acting is so good, even in Knowing Bros they asked Mina why she's not an actress
@@PaZaDrawing what she answer then?
This is so emotional and touching, Momo and Mina both expressed the feeling of being terrified by love, the desperation, the sorrow of parting. Their body moves, their facial expression everything was on point, i'm so proud of Momo and i think that's her best stage so far!
I'm agree but Momo has many amazing stages..
You should take a look at Momo's cover *Think About You*
Yeah
Same, I loved this stage, this concept and the lines while they were dancing were so beautiful. It's a shame it wasn't that well received
The acting, choreography, the expressions. Masterpiece
it's been 6 years and I'm still not over how they put this dance in last place. the passion through telling the story of a toxic and abusive relationship. a side of love no one has the guts to tell and they showed through amazing dancing and emotions
I am speechless! Completely blown away, the choreography, the chemistry, the story!
Becky Penson same

Ya'll let's be honest here we clown momo for being 'unsmart' as a joke but when it comes to dance Momo is so smart. In my opinion she is one of the best girl group dancers in the third generation because of her story's in her dance.
The reason why she was unsmart was because when she was in school someone pushed her into a walk and momo started bleeding and said she became less smart from that day
@@stopjuststop4815 ????
Nayeon actually said that. Momo is like a child most of the time, but when it comes to serious situations, she’s very smart and she has a voice.
Leonor Madeira Pinto Nunes it’s from an episode on knowing bros, she said that someone from her elementary school ended up pushing her when she was running, and she hit her head and bled. She also said that her mom said she ended up being a little slower after the incident

Omg Mina acting shook the hell out of me to be honest she really needed in a kdrama she's so talented and beautiful
They have the best concept and one of the greatest performance but they have few votes wth. I think this is where Momo really shines the best
yeah i am bitter the emotional dance who voiced out heavy issue like domestic violence get less votes than thos humping to the floor dance.but those viewers in studio who can vote mostly fangirls so yeah
Unfortunately the voters are being bias. I mean I am a Momo bias, but the reason I like her so much IS because she's a talented dancer, so as for the votes go, I'm sure people are voting for their bias regardless of the performance. Which shouldn't be right, it should be about the prior Nance as a whole, not just because of personal opinion of the style of dance.
+dania kayla firdausi the performances that topped her's were amazing as well.
can anyone tell me what momo dance story? seriously it makes me goosebumps😱 so cool TWICE💋
+Diah Sari their performance is about domestic violence. The voice in the first few seconds is a reporter saying "a girlfriend that is locked up is now found" or something like that
I really want Momo and Mina to perform this in their concert
Or award show
Mimo did collaboration during their concert but not used the same song and concept
yas i need this in Concert or even at award show...
Momo and Mina really deserved their MAIN DANCER position.
와 예전에 이거 처음 봤을 때 소름 돋았는데 너무 잘해서...
and I'm still here, watching this performance hundred times. I don't know, but this video really gives me goosebumps whenever I decipher the heavy and deep meaning of it. This is unique among the other performances they had. The concept is so beautiful and when u watch it for the first time, you'll be amazed by how they convey the dark definition of love through their choreography. Just wow momo and mina!
Yup, and I feel like getting into their story
Sameee
I keep getting goosebumps!
What does their performance mean??
@@babibird4083 I don't really remember the full details, I only saw it on a comment(that I cant find anymore). Its basically about a guy in Korea who had an abusive relationship with his girlfriend. I think he tortured and hurt her until she died. I think(from what I remember)the media or the government covered it up because it was so brutal?That's why the dancers with the black and white were at the end. I'm pretty sure I got something wrong, but that's the overall summary. If you listen at 0:10 theres a radio/audio clip of the news reporter talking about the story. I'm not very good at korean, but the reporter mentions girlfriend and man. It also implies some sort of murder/torture. Hope this helps!
Had this show been a physical theatre contest, there is no doubt she would have won. Theme wise this is incredible, and the moves really portray the emotions and actions in the "character"'s relationship.
BLAUBEEREJOONIE ikr
Momo could easily play a psychopathic character in a movie or series. The way she expresses her ambition to have Mina all to herself is amazing. The dancing, the movements, the facial expressions, it was all spectacular! Momo never lets me down.
This is not only about Momo, but Mina too, Momo is the one who choose Mina to be her partner, soft and powerful combination, it's a shame they didn't win because the audience think it's a "same sex" relationship but no, it's a true story about the police Ignoring a girl's request for help, Mina take on the role of that girl and end up die with her body Cut into pieces, meanwhile Momo is her abusive boyfriend, and the dancers who wear black outfits in the end is the police try covering up the case, well this is heavy.
미나 모모 진짜 춤도 춤인데 표정 연기가 되게 좋다ㅜㅜ
The fact that this performance portray the most controversial and most complicated plot and none of those people gets it!! its so powerful two great dancer delivering a toxic relationship and the minds of those people who voted are so ordinary for them to understand this..
they could've won in a different platform but not in korea when a lot of things specially homosexuality is a taboo and toxic relationship are being blinded coz were asians ,,ridiculous!!
Hu try se
They just not woke yet
@Ffff 5edg No...
@Ffff 5edg no. It's about a toxic relationship. Looks like it is representation of a real life incident in S.Korea where a man madly in love with a girl captured her and put her in a room. She cried for help but no one came. Eventually she died from starvation and abuse. The police arrived late and the people acted surprised but didn't care
“being blinded coz were Asians,,,ridiculous” what does that mean?? Also, I get what you’re trying to say but it’s just coming off hateful and protective. It’s a dancing competition, most of the time they put more heavy emphasis on technique rather than artistry
As a contemporary choreographer I think she did wonderfully and I honestly think this style fits her better than some of the other styles
She is able to convey a deeper meaning with her dances but I think that it's also more of an American style that people in Korea aren't necessarily more familiar with which is why I think she got so low of a score
RiTonic C What kind of dance is that?
+Teudoongie Prado Contemporary I think?
#teudongieprado contemporary dance its a style of expressive dance with a combination of modern dance ballet and jazz lyrical. a contemporary dancer strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements
0:39 how good is Mina's expression. Like she killed it right there. Woohoo
Mimo's charisma,dance,expression everything is on point
1:45 - 1:50 Mina's part. That little detail should be noticed. This is really great. The emotions, the choreography, the meaning, the story. I mean, love isn't just about those butterflies-in-stomach-and-rainbow-like-feelings (which can be seen from other performances). This two was smart enough to show us one of the darkest meaning of love and if this hadn't amazed the judges, I don't know why others' did.
MINA'S ACTING I'M SO IMPRESSED
I can’t believe I’m only finding out about this performance now?! Momo and Mina’s facial expressions gave me literal chills and their movements too
난 왜 이걸 이제 봤지... 모모랑 미나 춤 개잘춰... 역시 메인댄서들.. 그리고 표정연기도 그냥 ㄹㅇ 완벽
Ok, so here's the story that I see from this. At the beginning, they are bowing back and forth, probably symbolizing having to apologize to society for loving each other. At one point, Momo gets so frustrated about it that she gives up, and pushes her lover into a box. She begins taking her anger out on her, until one day she dies. Momo realizes what she's done, and commits suicide??? And joins the many girls who have followed the same path before. THIS IS AMAZING WTF
Amy Huang THIS IS SO ON POINT WTFFFF
No no when they are bowing to each other it means they are starting to know each other. Later MOmo falls for Mina,but Mina doesn't want her.
Amy Huang I always thought that when they would bow back and forth it meant time. Like the time they put into the relationship, and how it's a give and take so they kept going back in forth equally. When Momo starts leaning back more on Mina, I thought it meant that Momo started to stop giving and just started taking instead , so she became more selfish with the love until the girl dies later on
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE SO MUCH AND WHY MOMO SHOULD GOTTEN MORE VOTES There are so many ways to think of this because it's a story that people can relate and apply to their own life story in order to see a certain lesson. But the Korean audience only sees the flashy, loud catchy performances and looks past the deep, profound, extremely philosophically challenging ones that took time to plan and execute!
Amy Huang i am three months late, but i am cryi n g
Bruh.... If she was in America, she would have won without a doubt especially with this deep concept she has!
ikr this type of dance is more american, most koreans aren't familiar with it.
exactly
MOMO'S DANCING SKILL AND MINA'S ACTING SKILL IS NOT A JOKE. QUEENS!👑👑

@berry yuqi me too! I kept watching this but it never grows old for me.. their concept and the song oh my g...💕
Momo is great at dancing "modern dance". Really. But this performance was so underrated, one year later I still can'tforgive it. It gives me chills everytime...
Same, I literally get goosebumps every single time I watch this and I've been watching this for a year
THE EMOTION FROM THIS STAGE GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!! Momo just showed us how you dance with a partner with chemistry and at the same time didn't outshine her performance, and both of them complete each other. SHE OWNED HER STAGE. Mina was there to complete her and her best partner! Seriously the people at the show was so biased. I watched both Momo and Ten performance and TBH THE ROOKIES DID THE BEST. They deserve better votes! Especially this stage! The dancing, the acting and even the feeling was on point!! Mina and MOMO did the best so far for me!! Momo portrayed an obsessive person so crazily great and Mina the victim look so helpless and scared. The best for me and I enjoy this stage. I NEED MORE 2 MINUTES IS NOT ENOUGH. DAMN IT!!!
Koreans dont like same sex love and maybe thats why they lost. They deserve more than 141.
seriously ! something's so wrong with the audience
Ten and Momo both showed great skills and got low scores
I just don't get it , it's probably cuz no one talked about their skills before so people underestimate them
+Queen Mariebel lol no it's not. it's because fans come in and vote for their faves instead of objectively judging.
It's so unfair for them. In my opinion, Ten and MoMo have the best performances. They deseve to have higher score. WHAT WRONG WITH THE AUDITION. ARE THEY BLIND ???????
Queen Mariebel Nah even if it's not about that love issue these people that votes were surely biased, they're blind or what
This will remain legendary
The power of Momo and Mina
힛 더 스테이지 모모는...다 레전드
The problem is most people didn't understand this performance.
exactly this has deep message its art 👏
Maybe those people just never exposed to true art before, so it's a culture shock.
This is a great performance!
amen
+freya0410 true ...
i didn't really understand it too...but i thought the dance and concept was very good! very passionate and acting out sich expressions!
was the performance kinda about a maniac who kept a victim captive, killed them and regrets it at the end...? hahs i'm sorry for not really getting it XD
Its clear that the audience as well as the judges simply didn't understand the concept and the message the choreo was conveying. Its sad since this honestly gave me goosebumps
The audience only, the judge wasn't the one who decided.
The judges actually understood her performance and she was called a professional dancer
momo should've win this match! the way they portrayed the characters, the concept, the choreography, the hidden message... ig the people there aren't that much open to this kind of delivery. they might've been confused and didn't understand this magnificent masterpiece that aims to wake us up to reality. let me bow down to our MOMO best girl!!!
MINA'S EMOTION CAN'T BE MORE AMAZING!!!
Wow I have completely underestimated Momo's skill. This performance gave me shivers. The story was so beautifully shown through the art of dancing.
It's been 4 years but this stage still gives me the chills .
that stillness after the performance. I guess everyone didn't know how to react. even I was speechless and I was watching this on youtube 4 years later. it's that powerful.
This would've won if this were in America.
H恵美子 Korea ain't ready
YESSS
why ?
Trần Mai Anh Because unfortunately Korea isn't a tolerant country so two girls with a performance about toxic relationship is a no for them
+Polish Blink oh yeah. i read the comment too fast lol. so it goes to : It WOULD'NT won if it were in America. and : Korean aint already. lmao this is so awkard tho.
and my mother language isnt English too, so although there were so many differences in grammar, i didn't realize.
anw thank you for answering my stupid question.
this performance was absolutely haunting and beautiful. shame it was ranked last
It wasn't ranked last overall! Momo was 5th place out of all the 8 performances.
ohhh i see. i haven't actually watched the full episodes so i only got info from the comments and it made it seem like she was really low
The best part is the focus on Feeldog's face. He knows how amazing it actually was that he couldn't close his mouth. I bet almost everyone was like that.
Ohh, I hadn't noticed. Nice. Thanks for pointing it out!
really not fair
mina is so talented in dancing and acting its almost unreal and momo with the hand print and messy hair is a god given gift.
I fall in love with how both of their acting and dancing. It's their first time but it feels like they've been doing it for a long time. So perfect and beautiful but also I feel pain in my chest.
This is Masterpiece from Twice Momo and Twice Mina. Well done girls 👏👏
Too bad, the judges and the participants didn't understand or should we say "they pretend to not understand" 🙃🙃
Indeed
This would have straight up won so many awards in my country.
frr,, the story behind it deserves more recognition
Same Americans are so much more tolerant when it comes to controversial things when it comes to controversial things in Korean standards but it's normal here.
@@Petraclark especially dating its considered a 'scandal' in korea
The twice dance line is good! They are all slowly showing their talents. I think this performance deserved way more than 141. I like the meaning behind it too. This gave me goosebumps
Can you explain to me what is the interpretation of this choreography?
+hallyu fan its a selfish/greedy kind of love but in the end momo lost her. thats why mina died in the choreo
The story is about abusing relationship but the public chose to ignore it (hence the backdancers keep backing away) until shes gone then she realises she has nothing and become one those mindless drones
+hallyu fan its abusing relationship (the cage) but the people around them ignore it (the backdancers) when she really gone then she realize she have nothing and disintegrate into ash (the black mark on face)
momo said. this perf abt obsessive love. i love her so i put her in cage.
이때 겁나바빴을텐데 어떻게 준비한거지 ㅠㅠ 진짜 대단하다
Momo and Mina's facial expressions are so crazy. Seriously, I got scared of Momo's. They really did amazing 🔥
#goosebumps
This performance is in point The feelings that momo and mina transmit through the dance I really felt it it gives me goosebumps IMPRESSIVE work girls
this's an outstanding performance. Must say I'm impressed by Mina's acting ... Well done for Momo to try on a new dance genre
babyface4125 Mina's expressions were great, and Momo did a good job with taking care of the dark side. Love them so much!
babyface4125 omg me toooo! this performance was intensified because of their expressions! woooh. bravo!
Can I ask what kind of dance this is? Is this Modern or Contemporary? Because I want to use this video for my presentation in PE... And Momo is my bias... And I'm gay...
i think it's modern
They are actress but not singers, I dont know why sthey only wanna be idol, ah, I know, for money and no matter some else
진짜 이영상 몃번 봤어.. 아직도 소름딤.. 진짜 너무 증말 완전 멋있었어 둘이ㅠ 미나 모모 이런 퍼포먼스 다시 보면 좋겠음
Can everyone agree Mina is good at acting
This was the best performance of Hit The Stage.
they're best dancers in twice
soo baro in kpop** lol
ofc momo is the main dancer while mina is the lead
hwasalope not really. momo has that potential surely, but lots of close competition
True dat
realist momo participated in many things related to dance, for example she participated in the team of the best dancers of korea and she was part of it with mina
Look at Mina’s dancing line so beautiful
표정이 웃는 상이어서 더 소름끼쳐요,...너무 멋있다 섹시하고
OMFG THIS IS ART. Dancing is meant to be like this. No words, your movements express your feelings. The audience feels the emotions the dancer is conveying. Momo and Mina did very well, I have such a hard time believing they're just rookies. Momo especially; Jyp knew what he was doing when brought her back to join Twice.
I'm not saying that Momo and Mina invented art but that is exactly what I am saying.
ppl who are saying they did too much acting and not enough dancing, never were in an abusive relationship, and will NEVER understand how well this is portayed.
Doesn't matter. It's a dance competition and you still need to dance well.
every year since this was release, I would suddenly think of this performance and come back here to watch it.
1:13 that's the face of someone who fears Momo's AMAZING act of craziness and thejudges cannot even look away from that INCREDIBLE performance!
[Hello] [Yup]
ikrrr
Who's that guy btw?
@@joseiidequina3766 bi???
@@lolongrodelie6729 that's feeldog ( bora bf) he is a member of un.b and bigstar, he is an extremely talented dancer
Cause of death: Jungkook's cough that is feeldog from bigstar plz check them out!
This is how I interpreted the dance.
This represents a toxic relationship. I guess between two girls. Momo is the controlling one. I think they chose the song “Crazy in Love” to represent Momo’s obsession with Mina. Being so in love she trapped her in a relationship or the box. When they both dance in sync, it’s Mina willing and playing along because she has to. They are also out of sync being they don’t belong together. The black cloth and Mina lying is either, Momo loved her too much or Mina ran away. The black paint is the representation of evil.
Uncommon Name it’s about the suwon torso incident, Kim sunny was walking home and she was taken my her ex boyfriend and dismembered into 180 pieces, before she died she called the police telling them where she was countless times but they where 13 hours late,
they was also this case where this girl had a stalker who had fallen in love with her. he kidnapped her and held her hostage. eventually she died. the ending has to do with the fact society turned a blind eye to what he did. the dance has so many different meanings
When they are leaning at the start and momo leans on top on Mina that's to show how the relationship lost its balance
@@taebreeze7349 You just jumbled 2 stories together, the Torso Incident is a different incident to Kim Sunny one. In Suwon Torso incident the woman was grabbed off of a street by a random man, she called the police when he went away for a bit, but the police was incompetent, asking too many stupid questions and arriving 13 after the call, when the girl was already dismembered into 180 pieces.
Chaeyoung must have been involved
너무 멋진 예술 작품
와 ㅅㅂ... 소름이 쫙 돋았어 모모랑 미나 표정연기 뭐야?̊̈? 지리는데?
Momo's facial expressions take the dance to a whole new level. I mean the connections she had with the message behind the dance is incredible!
