i'd like to know your opinion on this topic: in a group like this, is it better to suppress each individual dance style in order to be in sync or should each one perform the song in their own way? i know that it's a matter of preference but objectively i dont know what would be best. i was thinking of these two examples: Kai from EXO always dances the way he wants to dance which makes him stand out more than the others. meanwhile in Seventeen they all kinda "give up" on their own styles in order to match and be in sync. ah! also like each korean entertainment company train their artists in a different way. for example YG and KQ go for the "follow your individual swag" kinda dance while others like Bighit and JYP prefer the "sharp, clean and in sync" kinda dance. when you get more familiar with how kpop works you'll start to notice these things
luyayaya Love this question! 😊 I think overall- across most styles, the preference is synchronization. If we’re going deep into technical theory (ie. ballet) and just in a general sense, this is usually what is expected from a group of dancers. When you audition for broadway or in Hollywood, it’s how well can you blend in with the rest. When you look at dancers auditioning, it’s usually a clear way to see who can do the choreo “correctly.” If you see things like So You Think You Can Dance or American Dance Crew, sync movements = teamwork/clean. I think this loose rule may be an exception to kpop. In kpop, there’s a TON of aspects involved when creating a performance. Companies consider vocals, rapping, visuals, etc. But I do believe that primarily, synchronization is still a priority. I say this because we know kpop groups train 12-18 hour days. The majority of that is dedicated to dancing- because voice and rapping usually can be helped by underlying tracks during a performance but moves can’t be hidden from a live audience-especially with HD fancams. As fans, we’re always wanting to show off our faves, hoping that a new viewer who’s not into kpop will be impressed and for a new audience, synchronization is usually a good indication that a group is good. Unfortunately, from outsiders’ perspective, a group member who does not synchronize with the rest of the group can be perceived as “not good.” It just boils down to why is it that you’re the only one not the same with the others, when the rest have the same arm curve, stretched leg level, etc. We’ve seen this in the Produce 101 series. BUT, it has been proven that members CAN still look synced with the rest even if they have different styles. For example: BTS Jimin and J-hope. They have two distinct styles and yet somehow, the overall picture blends. I think style can still conquer the dancer if they have the same level of arms or angle for body, etc. To the point, style and synchronization are different things yet can CO-EXIST. To sum it up, yes I do believe synchronization vs individual style is more expected in a general sense. It’s a good place to base if a group of people can actually debut together.
hi! i do urban dancing (the style usually used for kpop) and typically, in the competitive scene we usually give up on our own individual styles for the sake of synchronization and match whatever pictures the choreographer of that specific piece has in mind. that's because in the competitive scene we want to be a single unit, and for separate choreography, we as dancers are simply tools to make the choreographer's vision come to life. for individual styles, we usually work on that while doing workshops, whether it be team hosted workshops or actual classes at studios. most competitive teams hold "choreo projects" where members can create their own choreography and can potentially hold classes or choreograph for the next team set. however, in the urban dance scene, usually the people who already fit the style of the choreographer are the ones dancing in it so i guess it's pretty different? with kpop artists it's not like they're going to only let the members who fit in that song's choreography participate in that single. there's also the fact that in groups like seventeen, the main dancers' styles don't actually vary too drastically so it's easier to be in sync that way, whereas in a group like exo, kai himself already has a very different dance style than most people in kpop that he'd already developed for years so it'd be difficult for him to unlearn that for the rest of his group. in general, groups that are considered the "best dancers" are usually those who focus on pure synchronization, but that can potentially stunt the growth of the main dancers if that's not the style they're comfortable with. jhope for example, on ahl, talked about how nice it was to finally do his usual style in the freestyle battle because he's done just pure, drilled choreo for so many years. seventeen help with choreography so their creative input is almost always considered and they grow from that, but most main dancers aren't given that creative outlet. it's why sm groups typically don't focus on pure synchronization but they've continuously put out iconic main dancers in kpop. (jang woohyuk, yunho, eunhyuk, hyoyeon, taemin, kai, lay, ten, seulgi)
Renjun looks so young that when you say jisung is the youngest they mistake him as jisung 😅 common mistake. It's fine. Renjun is the smallest and 2nd oldest after mark. Jisung is the tallest but youngest 😅
I LOL'd when he said "He looks the youngest so that must be Jisung." Renjun is small and cute and also a great dancer. So it was a logical mistake, but poor Renjun LOL :D
"We Go Up" is considered Mark's graduation song. As you noticed, he is kind of highlighted in this MV and a lot of the MV looks like the members are just hanging out and partying, etc. Some of the scenes in the MV are actually the members just celebrating Mark's last MV with the NCT-Dream members and the members saying goodbye to him as their leader, etc. The members in "We Go Up" are: Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung. As mentioned, Mark is no longer in NCT-Dream, he turned 19 and graduated from the group in 2018. And Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin and RenJun will be graduating soon (They are all currently 19). (With only 2 members left, I hope that will mean that NCT will get a few new members this year to help fill out NCT-Dream again.) Jisung is the youngest member of the whole NCT group -- he was 16 in this MV (He just turned 18 at the beginning of February), but when he debuted he was only 13 -- however he is known as the best dancer in NCT-Dream and one of the best dancers in NCT as a whole. As youngsters, NCT-Dream members are some of the most talented.
@@JeffAvenueso this part is kind of complicated, but NCT DREAM is the only unit with a graduation system. In 127, members can be incorporated but they dont "graduate" or leave the unit. and there is a unit called NCT U where EVERY member can be a part of. They can make any combination to promote a comeback or song. Thats the biggest question nctzens and the dreamies have right now, because we honestly believe that SM wil not make any changes in 127 bc thats kind of the most stable unit in terms of members so we have a few options. The members that will "graduate" this year and are not in other sub unit (Like Haechan) will; form another unit with other nct members maybe (different combination, a whole new sub unit). If this happens, the chinese members in nct dream (chenle and renjun) will most likely go into "wayv" (nctzens ik they are basically not part of the nct brand but this is an option) and the rest of them, so Jeno, Jaemin and Jisung will take part of another unit (maybe promote more regularly under the NCT U name, or creating another sub unit). OR SM will change all their first plans and make nct dream a fixed unit. That means all of the actual members are going to stay under that name and as a Group (like 127). This is the option all the fans want, because de grew up so used to them being together and since they knew each other since they were like 11 years old, they dont want to be separated:( Pd: sorry if my explanation wasnt the best, but english is not my first language :)
@@JeffAvenue No it is not a given that they will automatically become members of NCT-127. So far that is how it has worked, but that was because the Dream members who graduated, which has only been Mark so far, was already a member of NCT-127. And Haechan has not yet graduated from Dream, but he has been a member of NCT-127 since early on. However, it's hard to say what SM's plan will be for Dream members in the future. As of right now, it has been said that SM is working on a new Sub-unit for those graduated Dream members and it will be called NCT-Q. The new sub-unit is also said to include the members who have not officially graduated. But this doesn't mean they won't also be included in other sub-units at the same time. NCT-127 is a fixed unit so no one graduates, but as we have seen with WinWin, he has not been a part of NCT-127 for a while now even -- though he has been a member since the beginning -- because he is promoting right now with WayV. It is yet to be seen whether we will ever see him back with NCT-127. Unfortunately, we can never speculate or guess what will happen with the members of NCT because with the dynamics of the group being so fluid and ever evolving, it's hard to say what SM's next plan will be. As you can see, there really is no logical path.
also about your question for haechan/hyuck's vocal position, he’s lead vocalist in 127 and main vocalist in dream meaning that he’s probably the most experienced singer in dream and in 127 usually it’s taeil/doyoung/jaehyun since they’re older and not in dream.
@@w2174 the 00 line hasn't graduated yet. Renjun, jeno and jaemin literally posted photos yesterday using NCT dream's pages. They're still filming stuff as NCT dream. In fact one show came out today. Where are you guys getting this info from?
Yes you're correct. He is Jisung, the youngest member of NCT Dream. He was the one you talked about when you watched the Black on Black dance practice, the one who doe the popping. The one with the gray denim jacket is Renjun.
You should react to Boom - NCT DREAM their music has really developed and it has really nice choreo Edit: you should also react to firetruck - NCT 127 it also has great choreo
the guy in the grey denim jacket is actually renjun! he's the smallest member of nct dream at 5"7 and also the oldest actually 😊 you can pretty much remember and distinguish him easily because of his small figure/height and heavenly vocals !
although many recommended “go” and “boom” which are more mature concepts, their earlier songs like “chewing gum,” “we young,” and “my first and last” have some of the craziest choreographies i’ve seen! there is some wild floor work and formations in those. I assume their training at a young age made it easier for them to learn and develop their strength and stamina for those strenuous moves bc wow
YESSS JENO!!! he's so sweet as well!!!! his first impression might be a but intimidating from his looks but he's such a sweetheart and SUCH an incredible/powerful dancer!!!!!!!
Can we just appreciate the fact that he actually tried to learn about them and appreciate the members even when he wasn’t too sure he was respectful in the way he addressed them.... thank you:)
Heachan is my favorite member of this group, because of his unusual vocal sound, and he dances so elegantly, he literally always makes what ever he is doing look effortless. You need to watch Chewing Gum just for the fun of it to see how young they really were when they started out. Jisung if I am not mistaken in Chewing Gum is if not the shortest very close to it. In the Boom video, you only see Heachan in his vocal parts and not with the group as he was touring with NCT127, Mark had already graduated so he is not in Boom at all. Heachan will graduate from Dream relatively soon, but he has been with NCT127 for quite some time. I think both Mark and Heachan live in the 127 dorm. Renjun should also graduate, it is unknown whether he will go to WayV, as he is Chinese, or 127. They have quite a few young artist waiting in the wing...so to speak for Dream. Many fans want Dream to stay together as a unit, but I don't think they will as that will not suit the concept of the ever growing NCT and having a younger group dedicated to the younger fans. You should watch some of the Weekly Idol episodes that feature NCT as they are a hoot, especially one of the older ones that feature the entire group, the hosts are quite confused as to who is who and with whom. It is also a good way to get to know some of the personalities of the different members.
Not enough people react to “NCT DREAM 29th SEOUL MUSIC AWARD dance practice”!!!! It’s a choreographer combing a JISUNG solo, “GO” and “We go up”. The performance also includes “Boom” but it’s not in the dance practice. Please!!!!!!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Many people would ignore NCT DREAM, because it’s ‘kids unit’... It’s also impressive that you’re trying to learn all their names. I sometimes forget there are so many members, because I have started listening to NCT back in 2016 and learned their names gradually.
I'm so proud of u. You nailed JENO hahaha 💚💚💚 and HAECHAN. Tip: so you'll know if it's Jisung. Jisung is the tallest among NCT Dream. Hahaha and the boy who looks like the youngest (but not) is Renjun. 💚
This was actually Dream's last comeback before Mark left/graduated from the group. In the beginning of the MV and also at other timestamps you can see him holding an hourglass that can represent his time left with the group. Mark also gets a lot of close ups and glamour shots in the MV too! Also if you listen closely you can hear all of Mark's funny and quirky Adlibs in the back of the song, he literally did all of them 😊
omg my personal favourite dancer in dream is jeno! the one with the sleeveless tee because his moves are really sharp and controlled well, he’s also really fast at learning choreo.
Jeff Avenue He is my bias in nct. Omg you have a good eyes. He’s not only about his visual tho. I also like his dance style so much. You should check him out more.
If you want to watch more low moves from NCT Dream, you really need to check out We Young. They nearly stick to ground and did all the foot work brilliantly
Its greatly appreciated that u tried to learn the names of the members, I know it's not really easy😂 I think haechan seems to be becoming your bias or maybe Jeno😉.( Personally Haechan is my Bias) I would really like it if u react to Ateez Hala Hala and Pirate king(debut song). Also reccomend u to watch their pre-debut dance performances. They're amazing. If u dont want to get into a new group yet I suggest u watch NCT's: -chain -firetruck -boom -limitless -7th sense(amazing song,Personally one of the best songs)
노람야 I will do a reveal of who my bias may be once I’m ready lol. I do have front runners after watching a couple more variety show vids 🙊 Thank you for the suggestions! I have all those on my list 😊
Haechan is an overall lead dancer. He’s the main vocal of Nct Dream and lead vocal of Nct 127, however, he has been treated more as a main vocal in Nct 127 as well since Superhuman era
I'm really so happy everytime someone recognizes/fanboying over Jeno since most of the time, a lot of people likes more the others members. So, thank you! ❤️
NCT: Floorwork is our middle name. NCT is one of, if not the only, group where all (or like 90% of) title tracks have either at least a floor sequence, a stunt sequence, or both.
Hi Jeff! I'm so happy you're reacting to NCT dream too. I think you'll like them because their choreo seems to be more your style where as 127 has a lot of hectic moves. I see that you're going around the different units but I hope you also react to jisung's performance on dancing high with jang yoonjun. It's really good.
as an nctzen I love watching your nct related dance reviews! its also really interesting as an aspiring dancer to learn about the technicalities through watching your videos.
i have your notifications on and nct literally went live on vlive a few minutes ago and i was torn on who to watch first coz uhm priorities first (lol i should be sleeping but pft idk her) i just dropped by again to say that i looooove your reactions and comments and all that, thank you for the content xx
Jeff Avenue the way i clicked on your video so fast after i see the notifs is quite embarrassing, i did watch your video first before going back to the live if that says something ayjajaoqsysna again, thank you for the content ♥️
when it comes to looking like a super synchronized unit at dancing, the dreamies are IT. Although Wakey Wakey and Chain by NCT 127, as far as I remember, also are pretty dope.
Yay! You did Dream! They did kill the choreo on this one. Renjun always stood out to me in We Go Up. He had a lot of shining moments both with his vocals and his dancing. This is one of my favorite songs from them because their concept (growth, maturation, and obviously dreams) is so strong. I love how in the chorus they make the music very minimal and the vocals sort of fly over the top of an expansive sounding bass which is reinforced in the choreo with big expansive heart beat motions and that gliding move. It gives the feeling that they are growing up and looking optimistically at a world of possibilities. You don't even have to read the lyrics to know that the song is about leaving behind their childhood and moving confidently to the next stage in their lives. Jeff noted that the rap parts added a more mature sound to an otherwise younger sounding song and that was intentional. There are also bits that sound nostalgic and that was also intentional. It's all part of the theme. The whole concept was just so well thought out. OK, I'm done gushing.
please react more to nct dream's choreographies! ❤️ chewing gum, my first and last, we young etc. most of their concepts might be bright and cute but the choreographies are really tough
I think that in NCT they are freer in expressing their creative differences and it worked for them in terms of dancing and in everything, SM's even letting the boys express their own selves by not assigning personas for them, and I really like it because if they give up their own styles in order to look cleaner then i wouldn't be able to see Haechan's elegant dancing more because he seems to always catch my eyes among members because his moves are so controlled that he looks like he's floating
Heck yeah!! I love how your commentary isn't just "he looks so good" (although that's vital content too of course :P) but you really go into aspects of the choreography you notice are difficult or cleanly executed, and give your own view of the moves. Also really glad you're going round the different subunits! My recommendations for the other units you've not covered yet: WayV: Moonwalk, Take Off and Regular NCT U: Baby Don't Stop, 7th Sense and Boss
Jeff every time you make a reaction video to their performance they way you critique and choose your words is always so nice. You're honestly my new favorite reaction youtuber for kpop. You're doing amazing btw!
PLEASEEEE REACT TO "SEVENTEEN - DON'T WANNA CRY DANCE PRACTICE"!!! They have 13 members and they do a lot of popping and their synchronization is insane!!! Pleasee🙏🙏
Hyuckie bby I’m very sorry but could you please send me the link for Sm’s confirmed positions? (Preferably from their website) As I am confused about the confirmed visual line. I was told that he joined the visual line, like how Jaehyun did later on. But maybe I’m mistaken 😊
Actually the guy in the gray jacket or the one you thought was jisung(renjun) does a little bit of ballet and contemporary dance!! Next you should definitely react to 'go' it's one of my favourites. 'My first and last' is also really good!!
I really think you'd enjoy MCND. They just debuted with Ice Age last month and they also have a pre-debut song Top Gang. They've got really good synchronization(as all TOP Media artists do). Also, the Ice Age dance practice is called the "ICE Ver."
Good god, it's so hard not to just bawl my eyes out on the bridge. This MV was Mark's last comeback with the group bc he turned 20 and their whole theme is they are the teenagers of the group. So you will notice when you watch Boom MV that Mark is missing and that's bc he graduated from the group.
Please react to Seventeen 🥺🥺 they take good advantage of their number of members (13) and they are REALLY GOOD dancers. My fav choreos are “Thanks” and “Getting closer” I really recommend them to u ❤️
thank you, Jeff! i like your reactions SO MUCH. personally, i would recommend you their "we young" dance practice! the choreography is more smooth and "chill" and the boys' moves...ah they're incredibly clean. it's definitely worth watching!
i think the reason why they don’t look synchronized at some of the parts is because they actually do lots of different moves at the same time. if u watch their tray dance in idol room, you’ll notice how different their steps are with each other.
The 1, 2, 3 dance practice (nct dream) has a lot of synchronized movements, which you seem to like a lot! I would highly recommend. Also it's just fun to watch
I mean like all of them have a lot of synchronized movements, but the choreography seems to be a bit more based around people dancing in sync rather than focusing in on single members or other kinds of concepts
Why is no one trying to introduce 'My first and last' to him? I think that song has a GREAT choreography that has QUALITY formations. Plus, it is the first nct song to win a music show award.
most of dream's title tracks have amazing choreographies! i would also recommend watching the my first and last performance video! during that comeback there is only 6 members because jaemin had an injury at that time. if you were to watch boom, there is only 6 members there because mark had graduated from dream beforehand.
Jeff Avenue sadly it’s the last comeback without mark 😭 So no Mark in ‘Boom ‘ comeback. But Boom is very catchy and lit, hope you’ll react to it ,I’ll wait 😭💚💚
I definitely think you should watch Chewing Gum by Nct Dream. It's the absolute epitome of a young concept because they were so young and adorable in it. There's no dance practice but I highly recommend watching the performance video. It's solely dance focused and not to mention that they do some of their choreography on hoverboards. It's really impressive😊
nct dream was actually known to make “bubble gum” music until they released the song ‘Go’ in 2018, and it was a really big contrast so i suggest if you want to experience the shock that dream stans went through i recommend watching ‘Chewing Gum’ (their cute, debut song where their average age is literally like 15) and then watch ‘Go’ aka the first song that wasn’t “bubble gum” for this unit & made fans freak out
I freaking love how high demanding you are and thanks for giving honest critic on the choreos and on the execution. But even though I am quite high demanding as well, I myself always forget that these boys are primarily singer and not dancers (not all at least). There are tons of idols that didn't even want to dance, but trained so hard to get to where they are today, so it is quite fascinating even if they are not perfectly in synch. :). ps.: you are doing so well with their names i am shook
for me, the dreamies choreo is always so satisfying to watch like the level of synchronization is just so on point !!! i recommend you 'we young' dance practice (not the moving cam one so u can see the choreo as a whole) it's hella underrated and it's my top tier dream choreo (next to trigger the fever hhhh but that doesn't have a dance practice sadlyyy) PLEASE I WOULD BE SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU REACT TO WE YOUNG DGHSHDHD
okay it’s settled, u’re my new favorite react channel. i’m honestly so satisfied cause u react to every little detail and that shows that u’re really paying attention to the video, other react channel would just comment on the “big” part and miss the part where the fandom hope for their reaction. most of the time i’d just go “BROOO THAT’S IT? U REALLY GONNA LET IT PASS? TELL ME HOW U FEEL ABOUT THAT PART” but that didn’t happen when i watch ur video, SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. i’m looking forward to more nct react tee hee, new fan right here👏🏻
I don’t know why more people haven’t commented that you should check out NCT DREAM - Go dance practice. Honestly one of my favorite choreographies from the whole NCT. You should definitely check it out! 💚
i think ppl recommend songs based on how they like it and not on the performance.. thatts why i would also like to say watch my first and last because that dance is also rly rly good
Yahoooo this is what I've been waiting for!! This unit is really sharp despite the young age! You should check we young, drippin and trigger the fever too!
I can't believe people aren't suggesting "my first and last", easily the bestest dance from dream's title tracks, it's just amazing, thought sadly jaemin wasn't part of that comeback ):
i'd like to know your opinion on this topic: in a group like this, is it better to suppress each individual dance style in order to be in sync or should each one perform the song in their own way? i know that it's a matter of preference but objectively i dont know what would be best.
i was thinking of these two examples: Kai from EXO always dances the way he wants to dance which makes him stand out more than the others. meanwhile in Seventeen they all kinda "give up" on their own styles in order to match and be in sync.
ah! also like each korean entertainment company train their artists in a different way. for example YG and KQ go for the "follow your individual swag" kinda dance while others like Bighit and JYP prefer the "sharp, clean and in sync" kinda dance. when you get more familiar with how kpop works you'll start to notice these things

Milinda Wilson haechan jeno renjun and jaemin are already adults but they aren’t graduating for a reason that we don’t know
Milinda Wilson Is it safe to say that after they graduate, they go right into NCT 127? Does 127 have a graduation system? If so, where do they go?

OR SM will change all their first plans and make nct dream a fixed unit. That means all of the actual members are going to stay under that name and as a Group (like 127). This is the option all the fans want, because de grew up so used to them being together and since they knew each other since they were like 11 years old, they dont want to be separated:(
Pd: sorry if my explanation wasnt the best, but english is not my first language :)
@@JeffAvenue No it is not a given that they will automatically become members of NCT-127. So far that is how it has worked, but that was because the Dream members who graduated, which has only been Mark so far, was already a member of NCT-127. And Haechan has not yet graduated from Dream, but he has been a member of NCT-127 since early on.
However, it's hard to say what SM's plan will be for Dream members in the future. As of right now, it has been said that SM is working on a new Sub-unit for those graduated Dream members and it will be called NCT-Q. The new sub-unit is also said to include the members who have not officially graduated. But this doesn't mean they won't also be included in other sub-units at the same time.
NCT-127 is a fixed unit so no one graduates, but as we have seen with WinWin, he has not been a part of NCT-127 for a while now even -- though he has been a member since the beginning -- because he is promoting right now with WayV. It is yet to be seen whether we will ever see him back with NCT-127.
Unfortunately, we can never speculate or guess what will happen with the members of NCT because with the dynamics of the group being so fluid and ever evolving, it's hard to say what SM's next plan will be. As you can see, there really is no logical path.
He needs to react to Chewing gum then Go to see them go from cute little guys to BAM THEY GREW UP AND IDK HOW TO FEEL THEN BOOM FOR ANOTHER BAM
Omg yessss chewing gum, go, boom, those three songs define puberty
Go! Go go! We be screaming go! Go go!
WITH THE OVERBOARDS
Yes! Your phrasing is killing me, by the way.
Yes yes yes
I love how everyone notices haechan's vocal skills. He's also a great dancer tho.
Thank you for this vid, take care, stay home🧡
V Falcon he is Michael Jackson
@@yeorichan3945ahahaha, exactly🤭
He really is talented in both vocals and dance
@@nagisaakabane5479 yeah, sure😉
also about your question for haechan/hyuck's vocal position, he’s lead vocalist in 127 and main vocalist in dream meaning that he’s probably the most experienced singer in dream and in 127 usually it’s taeil/doyoung/jaehyun since they’re older and not in dream.
Ye but Haechan is also not in dream anymore he is an old boy now .-.
@@yeorichan3945 lmao haechan is still in dream what are you talking about?
Gaming Neko lol jeno renjun are bit older than him 🤦🏻♀️
Gaming Neko haechan has graduated now along with Renjun Jeno and Jaemin as they have turned 20 in Korea so I don’t know who hey will promote with.
@@w2174 the 00 line hasn't graduated yet. Renjun, jeno and jaemin literally posted photos yesterday using NCT dream's pages. They're still filming stuff as NCT dream. In fact one show came out today. Where are you guys getting this info from?
Yes you're correct. He is Jisung, the youngest member of NCT Dream. He was the one you talked about when you watched the Black on Black dance practice, the one who doe the popping. The one with the gray denim jacket is Renjun.
Regina Marie Magat I cant believe I failed tho 😤😂 I was so sure! LOL
@@JeffAvenue you were actually fast in learning their names though. It took me a while to actually learn and recognize them.
Regina Marie Magat it actually took me 1 month to memorize them all lol
I was fangirling so hard everytime you talked about Jeno he’s my bias in dream
Omg yes people never talk about him but i like him so much
Yes same
I love how you spoke in tiny font when you said “is this haechan too” it was so cute UwU love a man that speaks in tiny font for Haechan
You should react to Boom - NCT DREAM their music has really developed and it has really nice choreo
Edit: you should also react to firetruck - NCT 127 it also has great choreo
Agree, both on my playlist :-)
agree
He: "it's too bubble gum"
Me, an intellectual: chew-chew-chew-chew-chewing gum!!!!
ITS OKAY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH JENO BCS WHOOO'S NOTTTT😭
Anyway the one that do a high kick is my bias named Na Jaemin💚
I FEEL you about Jeno... lol. Heachan has such a distinct voice !!
Haechan is the main vocal in NCT Dream ^^
Jeff saying Jaemins shoulder move is his kink is a full on mood-
the guy in the grey denim jacket is actually renjun! he's the smallest member of nct dream at 5"7 and also the oldest actually 😊 you can pretty much remember and distinguish him easily because of his small figure/height and heavenly vocals !
although many recommended “go” and “boom” which are more mature concepts, their earlier songs like “chewing gum,” “we young,” and “my first and last” have some of the craziest choreographies i’ve seen! there is some wild floor work and formations in those. I assume their training at a young age made it easier for them to learn and develop their strength and stamina for those strenuous moves bc wow
so true! especially because of the hoverboards for chewing gum and all the unique floor work and formations for we young and mfal!
True, frigging hoverboards！
YESSS JENO!!! he's so sweet as well!!!! his first impression might be a but intimidating from his looks but he's such a sweetheart and SUCH an incredible/powerful dancer!!!!!!!
nolie I don’t think he’s intimidating at all! His eyes are smiling all the time (I watched some variety shows hehe)
When you talk about Jeno Yeap Yeap absolutely agree with everything you said about him.
NCT Universe😂 thats a cute way of saying it
OmG yes he recognized hyuck babe😭❤️
Can we just appreciate the fact that he actually tried to learn about them and appreciate the members even when he wasn’t too sure he was respectful in the way he addressed them.... thank you:)
You need to react to Chewing Gum and We Young also
Cutesy but very hard choreo
Lytin Park yess those choreographies are really underrated tbh, alongside My first and last!
Heachan is my favorite member of this group, because of his unusual vocal sound, and he dances so elegantly, he literally always makes what ever he is doing look effortless. You need to watch Chewing Gum just for the fun of it to see how young they really were when they started out. Jisung if I am not mistaken in Chewing Gum is if not the shortest very close to it. In the Boom video, you only see Heachan in his vocal parts and not with the group as he was touring with NCT127, Mark had already graduated so he is not in Boom at all. Heachan will graduate from Dream relatively soon, but he has been with NCT127 for quite some time. I think both Mark and Heachan live in the 127 dorm. Renjun should also graduate, it is unknown whether he will go to WayV, as he is Chinese, or 127. They have quite a few young artist waiting in the wing...so to speak for Dream. Many fans want Dream to stay together as a unit, but I don't think they will as that will not suit the concept of the ever growing NCT and having a younger group dedicated to the younger fans. You should watch some of the Weekly Idol episodes that feature NCT as they are a hoot, especially one of the older ones that feature the entire group, the hosts are quite confused as to who is who and with whom. It is also a good way to get to know some of the personalities of the different members.
Not enough people react to “NCT DREAM 29th SEOUL MUSIC AWARD dance practice”!!!! It’s a choreographer combing a JISUNG solo, “GO” and “We go up”. The performance also includes “Boom” but it’s not in the dance practice. Please!!!!!!!!
their 2020 gda performance with the intro bit is even less talked about!!!! watch that too!!!
The one that doing high kick is Jaemin
Ya, he is our King Jaemin
10:50 “the rapping is really good.” Me: Hmm that’s happens to be Jeno rapping at this moment 🤔 Jeff really must be fanboying over Jeno 😂
I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Many people would ignore NCT DREAM, because it’s ‘kids unit’...
It’s also impressive that you’re trying to learn all their names. I sometimes forget there are so many members, because I have started listening to NCT back in 2016 and learned their names gradually.
I'm so proud of u. You nailed JENO hahaha 💚💚💚 and HAECHAN. Tip: so you'll know if it's Jisung. Jisung is the tallest among NCT Dream. Hahaha and the boy who looks like the youngest (but not) is Renjun. 💚
Why am i so proud when he know that is Jeno and Haechan😂
Maybe u wanna check out Seventeen. They're also know for being synchronized in dancing
Up
YES PLEASE I NEED THIS HAHAHA
YESSSS I WANNA RECOMMEND TOO
Will get there soon 👍🏽
@@JeffAvenue can't wait !!!
Jeno is indeed a good looking man. He's my ult together with ten 💚
ᅵJaemNorenSsi oooo damn, your ult? That’s huge!
This was actually Dream's last comeback before Mark left/graduated from the group. In the beginning of the MV and also at other timestamps you can see him holding an hourglass that can represent his time left with the group. Mark also gets a lot of close ups and glamour shots in the MV too! Also if you listen closely you can hear all of Mark's funny and quirky Adlibs in the back of the song, he literally did all of them 😊
Please, Next react to MV+Dance Practice
NCT DREAM - GO
NCT DREAM - MY First And Last
And
Dance Practice : Nct dream - 123 💚
Putri Aisyah my top 3
Uppp
omg my personal favourite dancer in dream is jeno! the one with the sleeveless tee because his moves are really sharp and controlled well, he’s also really fast at learning choreo.
yen nhi tran. Oh that’s awesome! Wish I was fast in learning choreo huhu i need like a day 🤣
Fanboying for Jeno is such a mood😂
Анна Крамскова why his eyes smiling all the time? 🥺
Jeff Avenue He is my bias in nct. Omg you have a good eyes. He’s not only about his visual tho. I also like his dance style so much. You should check him out more.
@@JeffAvenue cause he's an angel🙈
I wanna see u react to Chewing gum hoverboard ver. Or Cherry bomb Bomb ver. 😂💖
Their stomping is so satisfying to watch and hear. They're so in sync.
11:57 When Mark looks behind to see the boys before he goes up. T_T
this is personally my favorite dance from nct, thanks for reacting! it’s so satisfying to hear their footsteps in sync...
Id like to also recommend looking at the choreo for we young by nct dream. Its so underrated
If you want to watch more low moves from NCT Dream, you really need to check out We Young. They nearly stick to ground and did all the foot work brilliantly
Its greatly appreciated that u tried to learn the names of the members, I know it's not really easy😂 I think haechan seems to be becoming your bias or maybe Jeno😉.( Personally Haechan is my Bias)
I would really like it if u react to Ateez Hala Hala and Pirate king(debut song). Also reccomend u to watch their pre-debut dance performances. They're amazing.
If u dont want to get into a new group yet I suggest u watch NCT's:
-chain
-firetruck
-boom
-limitless
-7th sense(amazing song,Personally one of the best songs)
노람야 I will do a reveal of who my bias may be once I’m ready lol. I do have front runners after watching a couple more variety show vids 🙊
Thank you for the suggestions! I have all those on my list 😊
@@JeffAvenue who's your bias now? Been binge watching your reaction videos.
Haechan is an overall lead dancer. He’s the main vocal of Nct Dream and lead vocal of Nct 127, however, he has been treated more as a main vocal in Nct 127 as well since Superhuman era
You should react to their song “Chewing gum” and then immediately check out “GO”😂
I'm really so happy everytime someone recognizes/fanboying over Jeno since most of the time, a lot of people likes more the others members. So, thank you! ❤️
PLEASE WATCH NCT DREAM'S CHEWING GUM WITH HOVERBOAAARDD💚💚💚💚
NCT: Floorwork is our middle name.
NCT is one of, if not the only, group where all (or like 90% of) title tracks have either at least a floor sequence, a stunt sequence, or both.
Hi Jeff! I'm so happy you're reacting to NCT dream too. I think you'll like them because their choreo seems to be more your style where as 127 has a lot of hectic moves. I see that you're going around the different units but I hope you also react to jisung's performance on dancing high with jang yoonjun. It's really good.
Yes i want that too
as an nctzen I love watching your nct related dance reviews! its also really interesting as an aspiring dancer to learn about the technicalities through watching your videos.
i have your notifications on and nct literally went live on vlive a few minutes ago and i was torn on who to watch first coz uhm priorities first (lol i should be sleeping but pft idk her)
i just dropped by again to say that i looooove your reactions and comments and all that, thank you for the content xx
Ace ldh WOW that means a lot thank you! Well if you speak korean, def watch them first but if not, watch mine while you wait for subs LOL 😂
Jeff Avenue the way i clicked on your video so fast after i see the notifs is quite embarrassing, i did watch your video first before going back to the live if that says something ayjajaoqsysna again, thank you for the content ♥️
Ace ldh definitely means a lot thank you 🙏 😊
when it comes to looking like a super synchronized unit at dancing, the dreamies are IT. Although Wakey Wakey and Chain by NCT 127, as far as I remember, also are pretty dope.
Jeff: ... [We Go Up] is such a young concept...
Me: Oh, man, wait 'til you see Chewing Gum.
Yay! You did Dream! They did kill the choreo on this one. Renjun always stood out to me in We Go Up. He had a lot of shining moments both with his vocals and his dancing.
This is one of my favorite songs from them because their concept (growth, maturation, and obviously dreams) is so strong. I love how in the chorus they make the music very minimal and the vocals sort of fly over the top of an expansive sounding bass which is reinforced in the choreo with big expansive heart beat motions and that gliding move. It gives the feeling that they are growing up and looking optimistically at a world of possibilities. You don't even have to read the lyrics to know that the song is about leaving behind their childhood and moving confidently to the next stage in their lives. Jeff noted that the rap parts added a more mature sound to an otherwise younger sounding song and that was intentional. There are also bits that sound nostalgic and that was also intentional. It's all part of the theme. The whole concept was just so well thought out. OK, I'm done gushing.
please react more to nct dream's choreographies! ❤️ chewing gum, my first and last, we young etc. most of their concepts might be bright and cute but the choreographies are really tough
I think that in NCT they are freer in expressing their creative differences and it worked for them in terms of dancing and in everything, SM's even letting the boys express their own selves by not assigning personas for them, and I really like it because if they give up their own styles in order to look cleaner then i wouldn't be able to see Haechan's elegant dancing more because he seems to always catch my eyes among members because his moves are so controlled that he looks like he's floating
Heck yeah!! I love how your commentary isn't just "he looks so good" (although that's vital content too of course :P) but you really go into aspects of the choreography you notice are difficult or cleanly executed, and give your own view of the moves. Also really glad you're going round the different subunits!
My recommendations for the other units you've not covered yet:
WayV: Moonwalk, Take Off and Regular
NCT U: Baby Don't Stop, 7th Sense and Boss
Jeff every time you make a reaction video to their performance they way you critique and choose your words is always so nice. You're honestly my new favorite reaction youtuber for kpop. You're doing amazing btw!
PLEASEEEE REACT TO "SEVENTEEN - DON'T WANNA CRY DANCE PRACTICE"!!!
They have 13 members and they do a lot of popping and their synchronization is insane!!! Pleasee🙏🙏
For me this is the hardest choreo in all nct dances periodt
NCT Dream members
9:27 Jaemin, 00L (Lead rapper, lead dancer)
9:54 Jisung 02L (Main dancer, sub-vocalist, sub-rapper, maknae)
10:03 Jeno 00L (Lead dancer, lead rapper, visual)
10:25 Haechan 00L (Main vocalist)
11:43 Chenle 01L (Main vocalist)
11:52 Renjun 00L (Lead vocalist)
And Mark already graduated in 2018 but he's forever NCT DREAM's Main rapper and LEADER :)
Jeno and Jaemin are both considered official visuals ☺️
@@yipyip2848 Jaemin isn't a visual. Jeno is the only one that SM confirmed to be a visual
Hyuckie bby
I’m very sorry but could you please send me the link for Sm’s confirmed positions? (Preferably from their website) As I am confused about the confirmed visual line. I was told that he joined the visual line, like how Jaehyun did later on. But maybe I’m mistaken 😊
renjun is officially the main vocal and a dancer in dream . look at the official melon profile
Actually the guy in the gray jacket or the one you thought was jisung(renjun) does a little bit of ballet and contemporary dance!! Next you should definitely react to 'go' it's one of my favourites. 'My first and last' is also really good!!
Please react to Chewing Gum hoverboard performance!!!
We Young and MFAL floorwork is soooo good btw.. the concepts look cute from first glance but the dances are crazy
I died when he said "it's too bubble gum" the first that popped in my head was "chu chu chu chu chewing gum" 😂
I really think you'd enjoy MCND. They just debuted with Ice Age last month and they also have a pre-debut song Top Gang.
They've got really good synchronization(as all TOP Media artists do). Also, the Ice Age dance practice is called the "ICE Ver."
i think you'd like NCT dream a lot hehe I hope sooo🤞
p g I’m still vibing to this song a day later! Also I’ve watched their Halloween ver and Mafia game 😳
@@JeffAvenue road to being an nctzeeeen💚🤞
Good god, it's so hard not to just bawl my eyes out on the bridge. This MV was Mark's last comeback with the group bc he turned 20 and their whole theme is they are the teenagers of the group. So you will notice when you watch Boom MV that Mark is missing and that's bc he graduated from the group.
You need to react to ATEEZ!! They’re considered “monster rookies” because of how difficult their choreography is 😊
haechan's voice is so unique you will start to recognize it as soon as you hear it. it's one of his strengths that's makes him loved by many.
Please react to Seventeen 🥺🥺 they take good advantage of their number of members (13) and they are REALLY GOOD dancers. My fav choreos are “Thanks” and “Getting closer” I really recommend them to u ❤️
the dance for MY FIRST AND LAST is really hard and satisfying to watch!! must watch!!!
Omg pls react to Don't Wanna Cry by Seventeen! Actually, any song of Seventeen is very good or hard to dance. Please, react to them!!
I really luv how u mostly try to identify each member by their vocals
go check nct wayv “take off” dance practice, it’s the best ever.
You raised many positive points, so, thank you for that; more especially for appreciating the vocals.
if you want synchronization, go react to SEVENTEEN. also, react to KAI from EXO and TEN from wayv ty
thank you, Jeff! i like your reactions SO MUCH. personally, i would recommend you their "we young" dance practice! the choreography is more smooth and "chill" and the boys' moves...ah they're incredibly clean. it's definitely worth watching!
Thanks for reaction to NCT DREAM, pls reaction to WayV 💚
I'm really enjoying you reacting to NCT!! It's awesome to see what a performer sees in their dances, and funny to see you try and guess the members
Yas NCT Dream the superior unit lol
i think the reason why they don’t look synchronized at some of the parts is because they actually do lots of different moves at the same time. if u watch their tray dance in idol room, you’ll notice how different their steps are with each other.
nct dream we young and my first and last!!!!!!!!! ICONIC choreography. everything is very synchronous and nice to watch
The 1, 2, 3 dance practice (nct dream) has a lot of synchronized movements, which you seem to like a lot! I would highly recommend. Also it's just fun to watch
I mean like all of them have a lot of synchronized movements, but the choreography seems to be a bit more based around people dancing in sync rather than focusing in on single members or other kinds of concepts
Why is no one trying to introduce 'My first and last' to him? I think that song has a GREAT choreography that has QUALITY formations. Plus, it is the first nct song to win a music show award.
most of dream's title tracks have amazing choreographies! i would also recommend watching the my first and last performance video! during that comeback there is only 6 members because jaemin had an injury at that time. if you were to watch boom, there is only 6 members there because mark had graduated from dream beforehand.
idk why i just love the way he called it *NCT UNIVERSE*
The unit that made me stan NCT 😭 I love NCT dream so much 😭😭😭💚💚 I really loved We Go Up and the dance 😍
NCT make me boom I’m still vibin’ to this!
Jeff Avenue sadly it’s the last comeback without mark 😭 So no Mark in ‘Boom ‘ comeback. But Boom is very catchy and lit, hope you’ll react to it ,I’ll wait 😭💚💚
I definitely think you should watch Chewing Gum by Nct Dream. It's the absolute epitome of a young concept because they were so young and adorable in it. There's no dance practice but I highly recommend watching the performance video. It's solely dance focused and not to mention that they do some of their choreography on hoverboards. It's really impressive😊
nct dream was actually known to make “bubble gum” music until they released the song ‘Go’ in 2018, and it was a really big contrast so i suggest if you want to experience the shock that dream stans went through i recommend watching ‘Chewing Gum’ (their cute, debut song where their average age is literally like 15) and then watch ‘Go’ aka the first song that wasn’t “bubble gum” for this unit & made fans freak out
I freaking love how high demanding you are and thanks for giving honest critic on the choreos and on the execution. But even though I am quite high demanding as well, I myself always forget that these boys are primarily singer and not dancers (not all at least). There are tons of idols that didn't even want to dance, but trained so hard to get to where they are today, so it is quite fascinating even if they are not perfectly in synch. :).
ps.: you are doing so well with their names i am shook
for me, the dreamies choreo is always so satisfying to watch like the level of synchronization is just so on point !!! i recommend you 'we young' dance practice (not the moving cam one so u can see the choreo as a whole) it's hella underrated and it's my top tier dream choreo (next to trigger the fever hhhh but that doesn't have a dance practice sadlyyy) PLEASE I WOULD BE SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU REACT TO WE YOUNG DGHSHDHD
I'm so proud you mentioned Jeno I don't know why 😂
okay it’s settled, u’re my new favorite react channel. i’m honestly so satisfied cause u react to every little detail and that shows that u’re really paying attention to the video, other react channel would just comment on the “big” part and miss the part where the fandom hope for their reaction. most of the time i’d just go “BROOO THAT’S IT? U REALLY GONNA LET IT PASS? TELL ME HOW U FEEL ABOUT THAT PART” but that didn’t happen when i watch ur video, SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. i’m looking forward to more nct react tee hee, new fan right here👏🏻
U must see nct dream "boom" "go" and "my first and last" thank you for your reaction, please give a lots of hearts for nct
I don’t know why more people haven’t commented that you should check out NCT DREAM - Go dance practice. Honestly one of my favorite choreographies from the whole NCT. You should definitely check it out! 💚
i think ppl recommend songs based on how they like it and not on the performance.. thatts why i would also like to say watch my first and last because that dance is also rly rly good
Yahoooo this is what I've been waiting for!! This unit is really sharp despite the young age! You should check we young, drippin and trigger the fever too!
I can't believe people aren't suggesting "my first and last", easily the bestest dance from dream's title tracks, it's just amazing, thought sadly jaemin wasn't part of that comeback ):
*Dream is [mostly] the youngest members. Xiaojun, Lucas & Hendery of WayV are Mark's age, and Yangyang [also WayV] is an 00-liner.
