➫ HI!
I am an actor and content creator with Hollywood credits including roles on Lucifer (Netflix), Starlight Christmas (Hallmark), JT Leroy (Universal Studios), etc. In this channel, I offer insight to Kpop performances using my 10+ years of training in dance, acting, singing and overall performance. In dance, my forte are contemporary and musicals and have done most of my performances in theatre. Although my channel is mostly known for dance analysis, I am currently inactive in the dance community.
"I'm gonna cry bc it's so satisfying" me at any astro related stuff
Rocky was in charge of the choreography in “Baby” and he took ballet classes 😊
glad you like it 😄
Ohh good for him for choreographing!!
@Jeff Avenue I enjoy your videos and I learn a lot in your video. I'm want to dance once again 😊
Nirvana Aesthete thank u! And yes me too. I started dancing again since I started this channel!
As far as I know Rocky choreograph some of their songs but they have a different choreographer for Baby
He should be in charge of the choreography again!!!
The evolution of ASTRO
started with the song “ALL NIGHT”
Oh Jeff if you only knew
The evolution is from being bottles to selling them jk jk
I don't get it.. can you explain it ?
Is it because all night is the first sexy concept in astro ?
nana나나 it was the song which made them gain more exposure because the song is go good
@@reisthefunnycat5240 isn't crazy sexy cool more popular ?
I thought it was Always you 😂
Honestly MJ only speaks in shout so I understand if you think that his vocals a bit louder than the rest. That's my favorite thing about him tbh.
LITERALLY
facts. and considering mj's skills that belt is actually relatively low for him I would say
same he's my bias and i'm loud too so i appreciate his unfiltered volume haha but his vocals are amazing
😂😂😂
@@aceatnight I completely agree, this song is on a lower level for MJ. His ability is really shown in songs like "Innocent Love", "Always You", "Bloom", and "By Your Side". I would argue MJ has one of the best vocal ranges in KPOP. A new poll ranked him at 14., which I think is even low.
4:50 “How can a person look that good and sound that good as well?”
Me talking about every idol
everyone talking about every idol
Jeff's famous lines :
This is so satisfying
This is so synchronized
The knee work
The footwork
We don't dance on the floor
We don't train to dance like that
Hahaha don't hate me jeff 🤣🤣🤣
Haha I shall make these into tshirt designs lol
“How can a person look that good and sound that good as well?”
The whole of South Korea wonders the same (celebrities included).
Да здравствует пластическая хирургия, ответ.
“Seamless” is a great word for Astro’s choreo! I love how they move through space and between formations incredibly smoothly!
They’re so synchronized that they won the GOLD MEDAL for the ISAC (Idol Sports Athletic Championship) aerobics dance competitions for two conservative years (2017 - inspired by pirates of the Carribean & 2018 - inspired by Elvie Presley). They’re super good.
Another reason I have so much respect for Astro is because they were given the CUTEST, CHEESIEST concept to start off with, and a lot of male groups would have shy'd away from it, or not done it 100%, but they went full fucking steam, and even though the songs were really cheesy and cutesy, the choreography was ALWAYS bomb and super difficult, and they nailed the acting and choreo every damn time they performed or made a video. They took their craft really seriously and even cute concepts (which I don't like) became enjoyable to watch and you were left going "WOW'. This group is so damn talented. I'm so glad that they're getting to do "sexier" and more "serious" stuff now. Astro forever man.
You rewatching their last sequence over and over again because of their syncronisation is a mood. Thank you for your comments on their posture and how it contrasts with how light they stay on their feets. Another dance practice from them where they are just as smooth and sharp is 'again', if you have time you should definitly check it out! Thank you for your reactions, its really nice that you point out all their influences like ballet and why certain moves might be hard even if they don't look that way watching the first time. Another group i like to watch because of their syncronisation is iz*one, their songs 'violeta' and 'la vie en rose' have really beautiful imagery, especially with all 12 members.
True! You should watch this, Jefffffff.
oh my god yeeeeeesssss Again dance practice is a must-watch! I love the song and the choreo so much!
Rocky has been classically trained so you may catch some of his lines & turns are on point
I am imagining the day Jeff sees their "All Night" dance/MV... I still feel like I haven't recovered from that.
0:39 - and yet, today, baby Sanha is taller than Moonbin hahahah
I think Moonbin just looks deceptively taller because he's not just tall but have wide shoulders and more muscles. I'm pretty sure Eunwoo is taller than Moonbin too. xD
@@coolgirl312 I think too!
Moonbin : 1.81 m
Eunwoo : 1.83 m
Sanha : 1.84 m
there are the three highest members in Astro
Maybe this could help you guys^^
*fyi
I think cause moonbin is more often in Center that’s why he looks towering 😂
@@JeffAvenue yes! that also makes sense! Truth is: if I ever see the members in real life, I'm gonna be looking up to all of them like "damn, yall tall" ahahahahha
Me: watch Astro Smiles
Jeff: watch Astro dance Smiles, claps, falls over his words, going to cry..sighs
Me: watches Jeff low key cracks up I know, I know how you feel.
How about Baby at double speed? They did it on Weekly Idol, lost a bit of form but not too bad.
btw the start is called the gentlemen's dance. They check their cuffs, tie, belt and spray a touch of cologne behind their ears.
It's the drinks that are iconic "sodadols", "ciderdols" were some nick names given to Astro and the colours and symbols on the bottles represent a little of their indivdual character. That's the list on the table MJ 777 cheerful lively jolly
Oh that’s cool! Yeah I’ll probably do a compilation of all the 2x dances 👍🏽
I've lately gotten more into Astro so happy to see content I actually recognise :)
Haha! You’re welcome!
Srsly Rocky is one of the best ballet dancers in kpop. Him and moonbin are an amazing duo. I love focusing on them while watching dance practises. But all of them are really good dancers I love them❤.
i can never take my eyes off of Rocky. His body control and movements r legendary.
Haven’t been so fast to a reaction hehee
“All night” is such a smooth choreo with a song that is such a bop!
ASTRO is insane when it comes to synchronization and detailed angels taking into consideration that they are not all the same height making it more difficult yet these precious boys do it, as if without effort..
And then there was "All Night"
Which made every fandom fall in love with them...
Highly recommend it Jeff
The only “iconic” dance move that stands out in the fandom for Aroha that I know of are Rocky’s spins and turns
In their earlier year like in this MV Rocky used to do a lot of spinning
Fantagio !! Time to bring back Rocky's turns 💜💜
can't believe no one is recommending crazy sexy cool by astro. that song right THERE, also the choreo in that song is one of my favs imo, it's just so lightweight and breezy.
*Welcome to Astro!!*
*The King of Synchronization~*
Their synchronisation is on whole another lvl man woah...not only on stage off stage as well Lol
yes!! i love astro's choreo so s much but they're so underrated :((( please do crazy sexy cool next it's one of my faves!!! also rocky's hit the stage performance was so good you should check that out too!!
All night was that evolution era of astro
08:51 "Back to Astro, Jesus Christ the synchronization is insane!" I couldn't agree more. Jeff, you definitely need to watch "All Night" if you're looking for that sexy concept. The floor work there is just as insane hihihi
Crazy sexy cool has one of my favorite Astro choreos, they have a lot of fun with it and it’s pretty unique (it’s also one of my favorite songs lol)
I love the way he says "Let's watch the whole part" but then he pauses just a sec after cause he can't stop himself showing his excitement...
And YES! This Is ASTRO
can't wait to see your other reactions to astro specially AGAIN(
붙잡았어야 해)! This Title track doesn't have official MV BUT It has dance practice
ua-cam.com/video/Zz4mh7zYirE/v-deo.html
It's one of the BEST (or actually THE BEST one...)
There are many many wonderful Again performances like the Gangnam festival, Kcon japan, etc and I can't wait for your next reaction to astro
THANK YOU
Baby was actually my most favorite song of Astro since 2017 when I started stanning them (alongside with Hide and Seek, please do check it out lol it's a really good dance with a good foot work). They're really underrated but their dances are really synchronized too. I do also recommend Breathless, Should've Held On and Crazy, Sexy, Cool too hehe.
Should've Held On doesn't have an M/V though cause as far as I remember it was considered as a "gift"?
Astro ! Astro ! Astro ! They are super underrated ! They are overflowing with talents . Visuals is just a bonus 😍😍
Goshh I just realized I was talking to Jeff in the whole vid man, finally ASTRO made me go mad max
I'm an EXO-L but I really love watching this Astro's dance practice especially the synchronization at the beginning . Wow
litterally they are the prince of synchronazition..thats why we love astro☺☺ and they are a total package😍😍
"Hide & Seek" still has some of my favorite choerography, but you HAVE to check out "All Night"!
BRO - you are gonna DIE if you watch their Idols Games olympic dance performance. Synchronisation heaven. These boys are talented as hell, people don't give them the props they deserve.
" The songs are very cute "
You should watch Blue Flame or All night, the evolution is WOW
Have you observed? They were all genuine! The smiles, laughs! Those are real! I mean, they are like enjoying the things that they love. 💜
please react to Astro’s “Again” dance practice and “Always You” performance & music video! :)
Yess always you also has performance ver showcasing the dance line(rocky moonbin jinjin) pretty nice choreo
@@charlenelv1391 it also has full members version. You can search fancams for it! definitely better than the 3 members ver.!!!
This whole dance is so cute but sharp the way they’re in sync. 💛 They literally look like they experience less gravity than the rest of us the way they dance like that😄
if you were excited by this choreography you should watch their “again” dance practice video. there’s no mv but the video is well worth it.
the iconic move for Astro maybe is their “turns”, almost all their dances have turns
i love astro’s concept because again, like you said, they’re very good and kinda “masculine” looking but most of their songs are still very soft and cute, which is so unique in my opinion. their personalities are also SOSO nice
If we talk about astro's choreographies, it's looks like a simple-not hard choreo. But if we look the details and tried to dance to it, or copy it, it's really really hard. They put so much details to the choreo. Just like you said about their synchronization, their light footsteps, that's really hard to copy. And they have so much look like ballet move is because Rocky who made most of their choreo has ballet background.
And about their iconic movement, I think it's their jump(?). If you look at all of their choreos, you'll know that they always have that jump
Astro really had a smooth transition towards darker sexier concepts. Their first song Hide&Seek is the cutest summer bop you could ever listen to (you should really check it out as a good way to see how much they've grown). They already had beautiful songs at the time like Again (an all time favorite of mine who doesn't have an MV but has an amazing choreo and dance practice) but I'll say the first step toward change started with Crazy Sexy Cool, it's like the first song that was more like a middle ground between their super cute concept and the oh okay they're growing up feel. All Night is their first real grown up, sexy concept that also has a bit of a sadder vibe. I'll love if you reacted to any of these, I'm glad you're liking them, they really deserve all the love 💜
Please react to ASTRO's 붙잡았어야 해 (Again) dance practice~ I love all the choreos but Again is really my fave together with Baby
I LOVE this song, MV and dance... full package ♥️♥️
One of my favorites is Crazy Sexy Cool, one of my favorite kpop MVs
"moonbin is so tall"
Me: *looks at Sanha* he hasn't hit the tallest boi mode yet.
Jeff be droping his reactions like a bomb
they are glorious and i could never have enough of them
the soda thing is a reference to a previous release, cute summer song called Breathless where the mv concept was fun at the beach from the point of view of a soda bottle, as in they are literally as refreshing and energising as a sip of soda under the sun, its that song that they got me with :9 they had to start somewhere, i mean where's the intrigue if they can play their cards carefully to maximise the impact of a concept change
Something I hear in almost every video is: "How can they look that good and sound that good? It's not fair."
ASTRO has always been dancing to a very complicated choreography since debut. their title tracks maybe cutesy and youthful at first, but never underestimate the difficulty level of their choreography. you should definitely check every single one of their songs! they are very very veryyy satistfying to watch. yes, they have their point choreo every dance hahaha. for "baby" that's the bye bye thing you pointed out (arm stretched up while doing the goodbye hand gesture) HAHA. another example is for "knock", the two hands i closed fist on top of your head doing the banging the door gesture. 😛😛😛
thank you for reacting to ASTRO. please react more to them! they are amazing!
Choosing based on views is not a bad thing, but in many cases, it's heavily impacted by time; Baby has been out for several years and has racked up more views as a result. If you're interested to get more into a group, it could be cool to start w/ a recommended video from subscribers or the most recent, and then go back to the beginning and work your way back to the present--it'd be interesting to see how each individual group evolves. Also, following Crazy, Sexy, Cool---which hinted to their imminent growth, combining suave and playful sounds and visuals---Astro's move to a more mature sound started with Always You, an emotional, reactionary if you will, commentary on their situation as a group in the wake of a serious event that wracked their company, Fantagio; it was unclear whether they would ever comeback, disbandment hanging overhead for quite a long time. From that point on, they've adopted a more mature, sometimes sexy, sometimes powerful, sometimes lyrical, but always thoughtful style that I think really suits them!
Also... MJ is really freaking loud lol. Singing. Talking. Screaming. The boy is loud as fuck. So yeah, that belt is very naturally piercing haha.
literally i always feel rockys footwork is so under appreciated he's so well trained with some ballet and contemporary and just UGH he needs more recognition
"All Night" is the sexy concept you're looking for lol
10:54 actually, before astro debut they always performing and went on survival kind of shows-and it always been that "sexy" and "dark" performances ~ so us arohas are also shocked when they debut with such cute concept different than their pre-debut era 🤣🤣🤣
Jeff: how can that person look that good and sound good as well, that's not fair! Are you kidding me??!?!?!
**talking about Eun Woo**
ME: yh man we know!!
ASTRO = Synchronization Masters
Yes Jinjin's phrasing in Rap is just really amazing...
Thank you so much for taking time to watch our precious boys... And sharing your very valuable input.
We upload Astro reactions knock, Crazy Sexy, Cool, All night, Always you!!
We support Astrso and Aroha!!
Come please~:)
아스트로 아로하 응원해요!
MJ has some of the best vocal technique in kpop imo. His belt in this song sounds a little shouty, not because he’s yelling, but because it sounds like it got turned up in post-production. He’s actually just been cast as the lead in a broadway show!!!!! love your reactions
Omg im crying
Someone appreciate astro's dance and vocals huhuhuh
astro are the kings of the cute concept, i hope they have another cute comeback because their cute concept was one of my favorites!
baby is one of my all time favorite choreographies! astro always has some of the best dances! they are so technically interesting & i love that they have such a refreshing style to them
baby has a special place in my heart... it’s the song that got me into astro and it’s still one of my favorite astro songs AND kpop songs of all time haha
i love rocky's dancing so much 😍 and i feel like astro have a fairly unique dance style relative to other kpop groups, which i really like! i'm pretty sure they started changing up the concepts almost immediately after the maknae became an adult, but he and rocky were pretty young when they debuted (like sanha wasn't even 16, iirc)
I don't know if you know this or not, the opening dance is rocky's idea if I remember correctly, and it's about gentlemen getting ready. The movement is them wearing a watch and perfume and... something else, but I forgot what it is... They said it in one of their backstages video
I KNEW you'd like this dance practice. There's just something about the way Astro dances that makes me want to watch their practices over and over again.
Rocky is a spinning genius haha, hope you continue reacting to ASTRO!
Also, if you really love syncranisation, would recommend checking out a girlgroup called GFriend who are known very well for it. Especially during their first few title tracks with dance practices like Glass Bead, Me Gustas Tu, and Rough and more recently Time for the Moon Night which has an excellent starting formation.
Seeing Jeff freak out over Astro makes me so proud. They are the synchronized choreo kings and it's the most satisfying thing ever
Never heard of them before, but they're so. . . "Clean"? Like they'd return a lost penny, and hold the door for the entire building
It is so satisfying watching your reaction also...thank you for appreciating the talents that these boys possess...
Not to mention how humble they are, how grateful they are to their fans...how they make fan songs...they are deserved all the love in the world...
PLEASE WATCH THE BABY 2X VERSION ON WEEKLY PLEASE IT SO SATISFYING YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT PLEASE. THANKYOU FOR REACTING TO OUR BOYS
3:44 yes dude, it's rockyyyy!!!!!
Rocky Moonbin and JinJin are the dance line. Rocky trained in ballet, modern, tap, and hip hop starting from around 7(?) years old. Moonbin has technically been an idol trainee since around 6-7 i believe (please correct me on ages i'm just trying to guess from what i remember of predebut videos) so he's learned MANY forms of dance. JinJin made it into ny dance academy at the top of his class and was a part of underground house dancing crews. Their dance line combines all their knowlage to help with choreography which it what makes it so unique in my eyes.
Heey, you're catching up... from first reaction 1 month ago & now already the 3rd video :)
Thank you for reacting to astro. The more reaction video you make, I guarantee you'll never
get enough of them.
If you want sexy concept → All Night
Another satisfying dance practice → Again
"Again" is their title song from Winter Dream album, but the company didn't release the MV for unknown reason. I fell in love with them the moment I saw Again Dance Practice. Will be waiting for your reaction, jeff...
I’ve been quite interested in them even the first time but it seemed like less people watch them on my channel compared to other groups so I didn’t think there was that much interest. So when people started asking again, I’m like ok!
@@JeffAvenue Trust me, the choreography is awesome.
@@JeffAvenue ASTRO is a very talented boys. Maybe as a youtuber you can make more people to recognize them? If you really like them, you can support them aside from the fewer views. Btw, as you are a dancer maybe you want to check this out ua-cam.com/video/9xzMZHko8OE/v-deo.html and I really want to know about Rocky from your point of view 😊
Well actually astro is not as popular as the other that u've react but im sure they will grow :) thats why maybe the views are quite less than others hhe but dont worry i really like ure reaction and will always wait for u to react to their other discography or dance practice in the future.
I hope by you reacting to them will make people know them more :)
Thank you so much for ur hardwork with the reaction vid :)
fantagio entertainment is also kind of a modelling and acting agency, all of astro's members are actually actors, they even have their own predebut drama called "to be continued". a lot of idols from frantagio ent. are also actors and models♡
I totally get what you were saying! I'm not a dancer but I've been taking dance classes since I was a kid, starting from ballet, modern dance, and Indonesian traditional dance. the stiffness that you were talking abt is so on point. when you were dancing Javanese dance, there are times that your upper body has to be stiff and your feet do all the work, but usually, in Javanese dances, it is in slow motion. their movement is incredible! it's like they are made of feathers. especially for the dance line, Rocky, Moonbin, and JinJin. this is the first time I'm watching reviews that I can really connect with. Thank you!
Honestly, this is still one of my fave songs from them. Just makes you feel good every single time. And that synchronization! 🙌
LOL Funfact- During Baby Era half of them weren't even 20!!! They were really young actually!! That's why astro went on with the cute stuff a lot until sanha turned 20 and as soon as he was an adult they began doing mature stuffs!! Like All nigh, blue flame, one etc!!!
Yeah till now im still amazed by watching baby's choreography
Eunwoo and Sanha grew a lot since this, Sanha is taller than Moonbin now, and Eunwoo is only slightly shorter than him now, but like you pointed out, it isn't super obvious when they dance, they are very good about thinking out how to keep their levels while coming up with choreo so that it doesn't look awkward.
Biggest recommendation: AGAIN, ALL NIGHT, AND ROCKY SOLO DANCE!!!
Fanboy here, Glad you liked this and many more ASTRO contents... Yeah these boys always make AROHA more than proud...
Thank you for reacting to Astro’s Baby!! I’ve been waiting for this cause I’ve always loved their ‘Baby’ choreo. Their synchronisation in this just took my heart the first time i saw it, and up to this day it’s still my fave of theirs. It brings joy to me to know that other people are appreciating them 🥰
rocky is my bias in astro but he's a pretty underrated dancer bc astro tends to have easier choreos (and he's also almost always in the back in formations.) based on his dancing style, it could look like he's overdancing. rocky's been dancing since he was really young and took ballet and hip hop (and i think tap as well). he was on korea's got talent when he was 12 and was already such a great dancer by then. im glad fantagio allowed all of the boys to perform covers of songs from other artists in their previous years :)
yes i've seen little rocky doing tap dance. well astro's choreos are more like seemingly easy, but i agree that they can have harder one cause up till now rocky hasn't shown his full ability in the group songs. and about overdancing………only by watching rocky's fancam can i see the details and essence of the choreo, he surely can improve tho.
Baby is one of my favorite choreos of all time! I’m addicted to the song and everything about it 🤧💜
Your Astro reactions and insight into dance and choreo in general are always good times. Sanha was like 15 when they debuted and he didn’t come of age till All Night, so they did kinda stick to cuter concepts initially, but you see a pretty smooth progression to more mature concepts starting at around Always You, which has pretty amazing choreo. Sadly there’s no dance practice for that song.
Please react to All Night and Rocky's dance cover as well I'm sure you will love it
The transition from baby to all night is just 🔥🔥🔥
HAHAHAHAHA I ALREADY WATCH THIS REACTION 3 TIMES, I JUST CAN'T MOVE ON T.T
STILL ENJOYING HOW JEFF'S REACTS TO ASTRO. IT'S SO SATISFYING
BABY is ASTRO's evergreen Choreography 💥
Everything #ASTRO does is ICONIC
3:49 Finally learning Rocky is a classically trained dancer with epic turns.
Just wait until you see more of their videos, as Knock was a random outlier in the fact that it had no spins or turns in it.
I got so happy seeing you enjoying this so much. I don't really consider myself an Astro fan, their music is mostly "too cute" for me, which is just my personal music preference. So it's rare for me to just listen to their music, beside a few songs. BUT have always Loved their choreography, and as mentioned before, LOVE Rocky's dancing especially. So I often watch theirs dance practice and dance versions, and watch shows where they dance. Have always felt like their was something "special" about their dances that make them stand out. But found it hard to put words to it. I agreed with all your comments on them. Was like: Yes! That's what I've been thinking, agree, agree... Etc. lol.
Y’all don’t know how happy i am when he react to more astro🥺
I thought this would be Jeff's favorite Astro choreography it's just so good and it happens to be my favorite Astro song other than All Night ...im a blessed Aroha who saw this live and the guys dancing is always amazing. Oh Jeff also All Night is going to kill you so RIP 💜
Haha I’ll plan my funeral now
"I'm gonna cry because this is so satisfying." Yeah, I feel you Jeff. 😂 Your reaction is so satisfying, too. ❤️
I'm looking forward for more reactions. Please react to their AGAIN DANCE PRACTICE as well as #ROCKY's dance covers. Thanks. 😉
I think my favorite song by them is Crazy Sexy Cool cause when it dropped I was so amazed cause it was different from their usual 'cutesy' sound and I loved it lol
Jeff I came here 5 minutes after you posted❤️ I don’t think I’ve been this quick to click a video EVER! Thank you for your Astro reaction😁
thank you very much to react to astro choreography, my favorite dance praxis is "Again". They dont have MV to this song but the choreo is no joke, hope you will react to this, i was just cant close my mouth as i saw the choreo
Astro first debuted with a cute concept first because they were young and fitted the concept but i think also because when they debuted they were the only BOY group doing a cute concept so they were very different from all the group who debuted at the same time as them, which was really smart. They started only recently to mature their concept because the youngest has grown too.
The only other group i remember doing cute concept at that time was NCT Dream
Love the way on how you praise and give nice compliments on their sychronization
