A RETIRED DANCER'S POV- ENHYPEN "Upper Side Dreamin" Performance Video+Dance Practice

WTF DOES “OG KPOP STAN" EVEN MEAN?!⬇️
Supposedly "original gangster”, can be seen as “old generation", personally viewed as “old-school”.🤓 I’ve been into Korean music since 1998 when I was 15, and using “kpop stan” is more catchy (super cringe or not) than “person who’s listened to Korean music since 1998”, amirite or AMIRITE.😂

XTRA 411-
I became an avid Korean music aka Kpop listener/lover since 1998. Korean and rap music were my coping mechanisms from the bullying I experienced in middle school through high school and my love for the genre has stuck by me ever since. The genre, along with artists like Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, Britney Spears, etc. then motivated me into becoming a hip-hop/pop dancer, which was a very active lifestyle for me literally throughout my whole 20s. (XTRA DANCE 411- I danced for, trained, and performed with 4 different dance teams. My first and main dance team who started my "dance life" was with Marvelous Motion (who later became IaMmE, America's Best Dance Crew Season 6 Champions). A lot of my dance training came from Di "Moon" Zhang, Brandon "747" Harrell, Emilio Dosal, SOREAL, and from attending many dance classes in Houston and L.A. (from amazing local talent to widely-known talents such as Parris Goebel, Keone Madrid, Kyle Hanagami, Lando Wilkins, Mister Wiggles, Rino Nakasone)
Unfortunately, I took a huge break from Korean music and dance around 2015 when I was officially diagnosed with lupus nephritis, seizures, and a heart murmur. I was receiving and battling years of chemotherapy and dialysis along with taking 32 pills a day, so I had no mental/emotional/spiritual room to keep myself updated with Kpop or dance. Luckily, I'm in remission now. That doesn't mean that lupus and seizures are gone because I am still very capable of frequent flare-ups if I don't take care of myself, but I make sure to do so enough to manage and live as "normally" as possible. I am also not capable of being an active dancer like I used to be due to my chronic illnesses, but I’m still a dancer in my mind, heart, and soul.
ALSO! Just to be SUPER clear- me calling myself an "OG kpop stan" does NOT mean that anyone who's listened to kpop after me is inferior or less-than. A kpop lifestyle is a kpop lifestyle regardless of time. Please don’t get that sh*t twisted.😛 Sooo I am currently and actively keeping a weather eye on the KPOP horizon and also using what I’ve learned from my dance years to give credit where it’s due!

Omg yes Jay really shined this comeback, his vocals were so goddamn amazing

[@bela3760]

11:24 look at his body movements woah

[@bela3760]

Jay's voice in this song is very unique, rare I'm improved

[@liabstrait8306]

Ateez jumping : 🔊📢💥🧨⚡🌪🌑 Enhypen jumping : 🔕🔇🤫🌊🌈☀️ This kind of duality between groups it's hilarious... I love them both 🥲🥰

[@lauralani8083]

ENHYPEN - Just had a fan meeting and I was amazed at Jay's, Jake's and Jungwon's vocal skills. Enhypen is scratching the surface of their abilities. They had a new song called Polaroid love and it is GOOD. Not sure when it will be released but another easy listening song that has you dancing at home. They also had a short dance to ATTENTION PLEASE which was hard hitting. Thank you again for reacting to Enhypen - your ability to see items in their choreography is awesome.

[@yesi.spinne]

[@yh-qf9fc]

NI-KI covers Jimin's "lie". It's wonderful, so please react.

[@villafrialancelotgabriel2966]

try reacting to Cruel by Twice (Written by Dahyun) or Moonlight by Twice

[@edwinatakasaki2258]

Thina, did you get a 2PM feel from this song? Because that's the feeling I got from this song, especially from Sunghoon's performance - yes, the boys are young (some are minors!) but there is that downtown sexy quality but its understated, not in your face (Jungwon's hips notwithstanding). The Halloween performance was unfortunately not the best performance, they were having too much fun that night filming haunted house and ghosts (NAVER NOW was their best live performance of this song both vocally + choreography but you may not be able to post your reaction to it on KZbin).

[@juanzzn]
