[@justAcarat17]

As a Carat I’m definitely biased but I’m so proud to see our maknae ranked so high. J-Hope on 1st is honestly so well deserved, he’s one of my favorite dancers in kpop. He has such an interesting style and never fails to deliver the choreo with a similar vibe as the original, while adding some of his personal style :)

[@curvytangerine]

as an army, I will say you have a lot to be proud of!! Seventeen undeniably has one of the most impressive dance lines in the industry. I haven't done deep dives into their content but everything I see from Dino, The8, and Hoshi is just crazy. I would love to see Dino and Hobi dance together. as a Hobi ult: thank you for your kind words for him 😊💜

[@justAcarat17]

@@curvytangerine Aww ofc, people tend to rivalize a lot under such videos and it's so sad to see.. thank you for being so respectful, I hope you can discover more of Svt if you feel like it ^^

Dino at number 2 made me so happy 🥺 ppl often forget svt has 2 main dancers, hoshi AND dino... I'm glad to see 3/4 svt dance line members in top 10

[@bye-ray-2389]

Dino made it to Nr 2 OMG. Well deserved. He is truly one of my favorite dancers in kpop. I think he's fantastic and I hope we get more dance content from him in the future when he's less busy than right now . I miss his danceologies. He Jimin and j-hope are my absolute favorite dancers to watch in kpop from any gen to be honest. Glad to see all 3 of them up there in the top 5. Ten is great too.

[@jabberjanna]

NCT Jisung!! My boy so young & so talented!!! He is just mesmirizing to watch when he dances. 3rd gen maknae but got into Top 10! 🤯

[@w.5655]

[@user-cq7vi1ti4k]

Ten on top 3!! love watching him dance and perform. He is so fluid and he hits all the beats. would love to see a complete analysis after nightwalker releases

[@anitbubu3064]

So proud of seeing Jisung that high😍

[@naratulkubayeva7665]

Jisung my boy!!! Sometimes I think he doesn't use his full power in dancing, maybe coz he is trying to not disturb group dance, but would like to watch his 100% energy one day 🥺💚

[@7dream4life]

yessss. as an example, when he does a tiktok with another person from a different group he goes less powerful! for example when him and jaemin filmed the istj dance with eunchae, you could tell jisung wasn’t dancing very hard and i think it’s because he doesn’t want to overshine anyone!

[@VIDAH_]

J-hope has to be the most alluring dancer I’ve laid my eyes on in Kpop. He’s got every single criteria I’m looking for and I’m pretty much picky on this matter! The overall look of his dance always seems so balanced and clean, and that’s so pleasing to watch tbh. I hope he showcases his skillset way much more and get the recognition as he deserves. Thank you for the video. Well done.

[@rrringles]

So glad VIXX's N is getting recognized here for his style and elegance! 👏 I've always found him to be captivating. And I love the breakdown of how he achieves the controlled/manipulated effect, which is a common theme in VIXX's choreo.

[@curvytangerine]

this made me want to look into him more since I don't know much about Vixx! his dancing looks so beautiful!

[@rrringles]

@@curvytangerine He has some lovely solo dance performances and can slay any GG choreo thrown his way. If you're looking to get into VIXX, I recommend "Voodoo Doll" and "Hyde" for the horror concepts that made them famous (they are creepy, so watch the clean versions if you're squeamish), "Shangri-La" for elegance (N danced the concept performance film for this release), "Dynamite" for a funky track, "Error" for a strong, sad story, and "Chained Up" because it's a bop.

[@curvytangerine]

@@rrringles thank you so much, I'm taking a screenshot of this so I don't forget! and I LOVE horror so Vixx sounds right up my alley 😉 no clean version for me.

If giving 100% on stage had a face, it would have been Jhope. Jhope is the best dancer and perfomer of the generation. He is so complete. In terms of stage presence, even when he doesn't dances, just the rapping performances gives you an adrenaline rush.

[@facts_in_fiction]

I actually almost forgot that he debuted as a kpop idol lmao

[@kerryg1778]

Oh wow, this must have taken so much work! I'm not surprised to see J-Hope at #1, he's second only to Taemin in dance in the K-pop industry imo, and I'm also really happy to see Dino and Ten at #2 and 3, since they're also two of my absolute favorites. It was great to see Yibo here and ranked so highly as well - I've really loved his work on Street Dance of China, and appreciate how committed he is to continuously learning and growing as a dancer. I'm a carat, so it's nice to see Hoshi and The8 in the top 10 as well! I was a little surprised to see Kai so low, but I'm not very familiar with a few of the people you ranked above him, and even #14 really isn't THAT low when you're ranking this many guys. Thanks for sharing! As someone whose dance training was mostly in ballet, I always feel like I learn so much from your videos.

there's something about N (no 17) - despite not displaying that street groove he brings another kind of charisma and drama and can be ethereal and dirty all at the same time. a really stunning dance performer

[@sumayyahuk2016]

I think jisung is less suited for kpop dancing honestly, he adopted some techniques to suit it but i feel like he needs to branch out to actually show his strengths

I like the fact you clarified this is a, well, not "specific" I guess, ranking of a style used in most bg choreos.

[@Pos1t1veThinking]

Thanks for making this! Must have been sooo much work. I think my favorite is Ten, because he has an elegent style and an ability to convey emotions through his dance (reminds me of Taemin a bit). J-hope and Dino are also fantastic. Looking forward to the 2nd gen edition!

[@curvytangerine]

WOW, thank you SO MUCH for the truly extensive amount of work you've put into not just making this video, but observing so many dancers and recording your thoughts for us. you always bring so many dancers to my attention that were only somewhat on my radar before or that I'd never heard of at all. you also do a lot to further my education when it comes to what to look for in a street dancer or open dancer's movement. so far I've only skimmed through the video (though I am going to watch the entire thing after this comment). but I wanted to say a couple things while they were on my mind. first of all, you know you have put a smile on my face once again with your ranking of Hobi as #1 3rd gen male dancer. I absolutely agree and see him as second overall only to Taemin in open style. I'm also thrilled to see Ten in the top 3 as he's another dancer I think is astronomically talented and is one of my favorites. and it's great to see Jimin so high up as well, he definitely deserves it! BTS represent! Dino I need to watch more for sure. I've been very impressed when I've seen him, just haven't watched much from his group. secondly: I think what some people need to keep in mind when considering your rankings here is that this is a ranking for _open style._ open style may incorporate various genres of dance, but its _foundation_ is street dance. idol group choreo has its roots deep in street, and this is why Hobi's extensive knowledge of that genre serves him so well. we may see some idol choreo dabble in ballroom or contemporary or folk, but even then, those steps are couched within street-based choreography in the same routine. it's sad to see that street dance still often doesn't get the flowers it deserves as an art form in the eyes of the general public. at least on this channel, it does.

dino number 2!! EXACTLY!!! people miss so much amazing dancing by ignoring him. all you have to do is watch any fancam and any dance routine he has posted and ur mind would be blown

[@neozone96]

I knew Jisung going to be in the top 10 ☺ We all know Jisung's forte is popping but he was also a B-boy when he was young. He also got insane body control like his crazy good musicality. Jisung's biggest problem is toning down his dancing to blend with the group and it became a habit. Personally, I wished he would stop doing that because it's not beneficial for him at all. Honestly, their group choreos don't do the justice for him. It looks too easy for him. I wished he had more chances to shine as the main dancer like the other main dancers. Manifesting more dancer Jisung from this year and he finally gets his well deserved recognition. I like your channel becasue you always give his flowers. (Please do a full analysis for Jisung. I can give you more materials you might not have seen before 🙏)

[@summernight2752]

I don’t think he is ‘toning down’ to match Dream as a group. Popping and doing insane control with his height can be insanely tiring so I think he doing that consciously so he can preserve his energy as he is not someone who has an insane amount of energy like Jeno for example. You can see how quick he can be tired after doing Super cover in Dream fanmeeting. Probably his previous injury take toll to his stamina aswell tbh

[@neozone96]

@@summernight2752 nope. He in fact does tone down a lot. His energy when he dances alone and when he dances with the group is different. He is a lot more powerful when he dances alone.

[@summernight2752]

⁠​⁠@@neozone96tbh we don’t have many occasions where he dance alone for a longer duration (even a normal song duration even) besides his dance break in award shows so ofc his energy is very different in comparison with the way he dance in the group where he can dances for up to an hour straight. Like ofc he tones down his dance in the group, but it is not because the group holding him back (as he still can dance powerful in some moments like Hello Future last chorus, Ridin, and many more) but because it is his way to preserve energy where he can usually go 80% in certain moments but can be 120% in the other moments.

J-Hope at #1 is so well-deserved. 🔥

[@batatagumball5549]

1 - I never realized that Dawn was that good of a dancer. I knew he was a well developed and versatile performer, but to know that his foundation is that solid really explains why he manages to portray so many characters 2 - while he is one of my three favorite dancers in kpop let's all find the name of whoever trained Taeyong and make sure he is fired from any trainer job he applies to. Also, is interesting how you pointed out that Taeyong had to step up to become a dancer, just imagine how much he had to rush to become a main one 3 - Monsta X was that group. They are still great performers who release great music, so that's fine 4 - I saw your "SM 2nd and 3rd gen boy groups" tier and as someone who loves Shinee as a dance group it was very satisfying to see you rank them so high (specially Key, who is on the same level as Kai and Haechan). I know I will enjoy your 2nd gen video (whenever it is published)

[@facts_in_fiction]

About 2, I'm really not sure if any specific teacher is to blame or if it's sm in general not giving their teachers enough time to properly teach either :/ I had experiences like that too, trying to teach hip hop basics at a dance school but they wanted me to spend all time on preparing them for a choreographed performance And glad to hear interest in the 2nd gen video!

[@batatagumball5549]

[@IKnowYouKnowLeeKnow]

I think taeyong reminds me a bit of stray kids hyunjin in the way that he had no real dance background and was never able to build a strong foundation in dance. They both have a lot of potential, especially hyunjin has a really good sense of musicality but they both heavily rely on strong masculine facial expressions and tight and tense movements. It's not that noticeable to a lot of people since they are considered as a central part of the group so their concepts focus a lot around them, especially with nct. They shine in choreographies that consider their strengths (e.g hyunjins studio choom performance which caters to his style perfectly) however they struggle with versatility and choreographies that don't allow them to transfer their specific style. It's sad that this is not considered in the basic idol training and that "stage presence" has such a strong hold on people that they oftentimes fail to understand the difference between an idol that dances, and a dancer that has been trained properly. I find myself agreeing with you a lot so I appreciate all your videos greatly!! Thank you for being so detailed with your explanations and for offering your perspective ♡

[@paresse7863]

Overall, I agree at hundred percent about Hyunjin and Taeyong. But Hyunjin didn't have trained in a specific style before ? (sorry for my english, i'm not an english speaker)

It’s so great that jhope is getting that recognition he deserves bc often media only capture dancers like jimin taemin and kai. i think people who aren’t army don’t understand the full extent of how amazing of a dancer jhope is if they’ve only seen performances of him in bts.

[@aric6702]

I appreciate the work you put into this! Nice to see some idols who don’t get mentioned in the dancer conversation as much on here. Regarding Woojin, I think his knee injury is a likely reason for the difference you see in more recent performances, as well as a reason he may struggle with completing footwork. As someone who injured their knee in the same way… it makes dancing a lot harder, even several years out. He doesn’t do some parts of their chores at all anymore. It makes me a little sad for where he could have been, but I’m super proud of him for getting back to the level he’s at! It had to be hard! Happy to see him ranked so high! Speaking of things that make me kind of sad though, it’s tragic imo that N doesn’t seem to have much interest in performing onstage anymore cause it’s really a loss for everyone!! I don’t keep track of vixx as much as I did in the past, but I haven’t heard any indication that he’s dancing at all anymore, since it seems increasingly unlikely that he’ll return to vixx. It’s a damn shame honestly! I’ll still hope he’ll come back again one day though :’)

I’m a little late but good job on the video!! You’ve worked so hard on it. The number of fancams and amount of editing is making my head spin 😵‍💫 Really really appreciate how many groups you’ve managed to cover here. I’ve been dying for people to look at Ikon, euijin and yibo specifically so this was really nice 🥹 I do think your top 11 selection is just full of wonderful dancers. Such a great range of styles (including our one and only proper krump rep in the list like I want to see more). Honestly you could probably make an argument for any one of them to be the best since for each one of them you find individual skillsets that you can’t really find the others matching. But I am absolutely thrilled to see Dino so high up he’s so so good, so so excellent and SO SO underrated ❤ I do think we have a decent range of abilities/backgrounds covered by these bg dancers. But I would still like to see more! Would be nice to see more people come in from less represented street styles and maybe something like jazz. Looking forward to the others!!

Thank for your hard work for making this video, i hope we can see 4th gen ranking in near future.

[@camilamc-gm1cu]

taken a lot of time to analyze each dancer. You are incredible! Thanks to you, I learn a lot about dance technique.❤

[@Fieshs]

Oh wow, thank you for analyzing a.c.e as well! I've been waiting for that!! Listing the A.C.E members for fellow choice! 23:21 35:46

Ten just release another dance performance video few mins ago. Would love to see full analysis of Ten like you do with Taemin.

[@ImHyucks107cmLeg]

My neos baby!! TY,HC,JS and Ten💚 and wowww I thought Hoshi is a better dancer than The8(I don’t watch them often).. I learn new things today. Also, I enjoyed your videos so much!

[@hyukleberry5567]

I think your comment that Donghyuk often stays in the box is pretty accurate. He seemed to do that in his pre-debut videos too and has never really outgrown it. All this time I could never put a finger on what was off but now I know! Nevertheless, I'm quite happy you had good things to say about him! It's inspiring because he's one of the dancers who didn't have the most solid dance background prior to entering a company. While a lot of idols can stagnate at this point, most of his improvement happened over the course of his trainee days/career which is always nice to see, and it's the reason why I've always seen him as someone who was assigned md not because he's the best (even if he is) but because no one else is as passionate about it as him and he'd definitely marinate in the studio to improve.

[@renistheone3193]

JR of NU'EST/ Kim Jonghyeon was the only male trainee in Pledis when the company started accepting male trainees. He trained alone for a whole year. He was from another city and lived with a manager and ate only noodles for a whole year. He was 13. Then he got an injury during that time that stopped him from dance practice. He debuted as the leader at 16 years old, 2-3 years after he got into the company. They debuted with a song called Face that was the most watched boy group debut mv on youtube for years. Then after a while their company basically lost interest in them. It was a whole roller coaster of a journey for them. JR being the leader of the group many times said that he felt responsible that they were not doing well. He was 21 when he was called Nation's Leader in Produce 101. They had a lot of good and bad experiences. They now have disbanded and are doing solo activities including solo debuts, acting, musicals, mcing and much more! Now I don't know much about dancing so I have no opinions about his tier or skills. I just wanted to let people know about how he started his career. Also he was street casted in front of his school and had no prior interest in being an idol.

[@127mile]

OOO IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE

[@mercurycures8204]

Honestly I looked too this video cause I saw Yibo in the title which got me excited. I was wondering if B.A.P would be mentioned (one of my favorite groups) and was glad to see them included. I agree with your analysis of both and wanted to add that I believe Zelo is an amazing dancer however similar to B.A.Ps main vocalist Daehyun who has an incredible voice, they lacked the proper training to create a proper foundation in their respective skills imo.

[@rosior1252]

This was interesting to watch, thank you for sharing! I am so proud to see Jimin and Hobi, so proud of them 💜

[@trash-3058]

Came into this knowing Jhope would be number 1 😭 He’s just too good 🤷‍♀️

[@Vampzbebe]

Woooooow tysm for adding Ayno from VAV, they rarely get to see the light of day these days lmao

[@melodycao5376]

so excited for the wayv analysis. was interesting to see jinhwan so high up

[@Spacerecord-yv5oz]

I couldn’t pay attention because I am busy but will watch this at night.

[@demja2468]

so many of my faves here, jhope, dino, wang yibo??? thank you for this!!

[@kithicdames2720]

Before pajamas troll this video, you are right. j-hope could execute any dance. He has exceptional control over his body and he understands the music. While others concentrate on the choreo to perfect it, it is natural for j-hope to add his own flair. He is naturally fluid and complete. That is why no dance is the same with him also even though the foundation of the choreo is there. There is an edit of their Dynamite performances which shows this clear distinction of skills.

[@umalikas1]

NCT's Taeyong, Haechan, Ten , Jisung being included made me go Yay! 😻!!Best dancers in NCT, flaws and all. I'm not a dancer but Im happy that they made it in your rankings esp Taeyong since it is well known that he has zero dance training when he entered SM. Haechan, Ten and Jisung definitely are top tier dancers 💚

[@katokafu]

What is MD? I’m not a native English speaker so Google didn’t give me any proper answers. It’s like Master Dancer? Or what? Seeing Hoseok ranked 1st makes my heart flutter. Guys from SVT and BTS are truly amazing. My eyes always feel blessed watching them dance. One thing about Jimin is also his contemporary dance education. This makes him stand out a lot. I also wanna state that BTS have one of the best dance line in kpop if not the best. Their 3J trio is no joke

[@blancasmith-us9is]

MD = MAIN DANCER . and yes bts has one of fhe best dance line along with Seventeen and nct

[@katokafu]

@@blancasmith-us9is thanks for the md explanation

[@facts_in_fiction]

It's just the name of the tier

[@haylstorm6]

This must have taken so much work! I'm so interested in your knowledge of different dance styles, so this was a very fun watch!

[@LunePheli]

I agree with most of these, especially number 1. People have different opinions but Hoseok, he's always going to be THAT dancer for me. And I'm glad Yibo's high up there too, so underrated.

[@arielsimone6951]

I'm so happy to see Byeongkwan in this! He's one of my fave dancers and the reason I got into A.C.E

[@paresse7863]

Excellent video as always ! It's interesting to note that the most "skilled" dancers are from recent group, showing that training system changed a lot between and within generation. It's a bit of a shame you couldn't develop further your explaination on the weaker dancer but I get why, likely because of the amount of idol on this list ahah. Anyway, I enjoyed a lot !

Thank you, I just wanna watch Taeyong's actually🥰

[@shairarosedelpilar7391]

Yibo really improved a lot when he joined SDC as a captain for 3 seasons. His freestyles are richer and more exciting to watch.

[@tatabithaa_]

Wowww your dedication to Made this video is amazing, I LOOVEEE how you include the small group or even the group that never known.. bcs if we see a Dance rank in other channel usually consist of the BIG3, HYBE or other group that already popular and known.. and i'm sick of fans who yapping and stating that his faves (who are in popular group) is the best dancer, like bish u don't even know other group who had an amazing dancer. That's why i was soo exited and scream along while watching your video..i don't even though Yibo would be here 🥹 And i'm really agree with your top 10, hobi being no.1 is soo on point, bcs if we see him as a dancer not a BTS nember he already had that amazing street dance basic since predebut and his groove is really unmatchable. Next video ihope you made Thr Best Dancer in 4th GEN BG&GG... Bcs as we already knew that majority of 4th gen really consist of amazing dancerr. 🤍

[@ViDhana1010]

The dedication that goes into doing these analyses is insane!! Hats Off! You are amazing

[@facts_in_fiction]

Glad to hear!

[@curvytangerine]

this is also how I feel about FIF haha.

[@ladinebravante3920]

I really hope you could also make one for the best 4th gen male dancers, and include underrated groups such as dkb, ntx, mirae, mcnd, vanner, trendz, etc.

[@facts_in_fiction]

Who is considered the best from ntx and mirae?

[@ladinebravante3920]

@@facts_in_fiction In mirae, Siyoung and Junhyuk are the main dancers but I think Yubin, amd Dongpyo are also good dancers. And in ntx, Jaemin is their main dancer, and Seungwon is their lead dancer, but I personally think Yunhyeok and Eunho are also good dancers (honestly all of the members are main/lead dancer material).

[@inyochayacha548]

Include ATEEZ too please!! ​@@facts_in_fiction

[@mim7088]

tysm for this ranking, ur videos are really interesting and informative!! im curious what u think about kim hanbin/b.i, i feel like he's kind of an underrated dancer

[@facts_in_fiction]

He would probably be in low MD category

[@AbB-bl8qc]

@@facts_in_fictionwow lower than expected! Some reasons? would he be considered groovy?

[@facts_in_fiction]

​​@@AbB-bl8qc groovy yes, but too many problems with shapes and lower body coordination. Maybe I will change my mind when I watch more recent videos but during his ikon days he was certainly weaker and donghyuk and jinhwan

so proud of my boys Dino and Ten😃🥰

[@bluemrpony]

I'm so happy that you included N, I was always so aggravated when people never mentioned him when talking about 3rd gen main dancers just because his style wasn't as masculine or powerful as what was the standard for that gen

[@myeonluv]

please do gg version !! 🙏🏼

[@Spacerecord-yv5oz]

Great analysis please can you do it for girl group dancers too?
