Dance Teacher Reacts To SEVENTEEN - Getting Closer MV + Dance Practice

[@cindy_carat5057]

Fun fact: seventeen broke the stage when performing Getting closer on an award show.

[@donquixote4457]

HAHAHHAHAHAH yes, the power of their dance. Not one tile, but a few of it 😂😂😭😂

[@kaiakyeom]

HAHAHA yup, powerful 🤣

[@marshmeow_]

Hahahh true lol 😂

[@DonKawaii1]

Whoaa, I wouldn't doubt those hard stomps haha

[@hoshingi]

I will NEVER forget this LMAO

[@coolgirl312]

This was the first time we got "dark" Seventeen. For YEARS Carats have been wishing for Seventeen to do a darker concept and they DELIVERED. They performed it for the first time at an award show and it was such an explosive shocking stage to see. Definitely on of my favorite performances of Seventeen.

[@chintv9297]

Imagine how carats was so shocked when they performed this in MAMA without carats knowing. Idols were also shocked with this.

[@skymelline4897]

Yes!! Omg I remember literally screaming when they performed this cause I wasn't expecting a darker concept

[@chintv9297]

@@skymelline4897 riiiiight? And they performed it before the album release!!! Carats were like "wtf is this cult????" Hahahahahha

[@skymelline4897]

@@chintv9297 I can't imagine how it would've felt for the lucky Carats who were able to see it live thoughhh... I'm so jealous of them T_T

[@skymelline4897]

@@karides6755 Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they pull something like this again. They actually did it with Boom Boom as well all the way back in 2016 so they might do it again eventually

[@54six]

Fun fact : they performed this live before the album's release (during MAMA if im not mistaken). We were shocked. Another funfact: The literal meaning of the korean title (숨이 차) is Breathless.

[@woozilee3959]

Yep

[@jihanniezi]

Srsly, ikr. I'm just casually watching then suddenly a song i never heard before from them starts playing, then Jun flew for like 2 secs, and i'm dying the whole time on a loop lol

[@mohamadazharsia_carat7214]

It also means breathless fanchant for Carats.......hahhahahahahahahahaha

[@DonKawaii1]

That must've been cultural reset to watch. Haha

[@saur_sop99]

The getting closer+home+good to me trio choreo is just chef's kiss you made my dawn is such a bop

[@RowanTreeArt]

that trio of songs made ymmd for me, it was just perfect

[@juji1854]

I appreciate your honesty in conveying why you dislike/not fond of some part or certain routine choices in a choreo. It reassures your viewers that you're not faking it in times when you're actually enjoying it.

[@animals14life]

'this ain't a title track?' A BIG MOOD TBH

[@kaiakyeom]

i saw the thumbnail and i was like yup, getting closer HAHA damn, i was so excited for this reaction! If you have the time, watching getting closer on stage is a must, i swear. (ehem the 2018 MAMA stage we're all talking about HAHA jk) fun fact: the korean title of getting closer is 숨이 차 , it means 'breathless'. definitely describes this whole piece HAHA and the fanchant for this also leaves us carats breathless, carats are professional rappers lmao but as always, this is 🔥! oh yeah and DK on the bridge 😭 can't wait for more :D

[@luthienmpl]

This might just be me but I've always felt like Jeonghan has a certain *something* when it comes to head/neck/hand choreography. He's not necessarily the best dancer in the group but when it comes to detail work like that he always seems that little bit more expressive than everyone else, which is why he ends up front and center for that kind of stuff quite often. (see also: Don't wanna Cry, Flower, Fear)

[@bingbing2821]

felt like with seventeen, they sometimes break the symmetrical formation... and make something asymetrical but still keeping the balance (own opinion but also i hope you get what i mean lol) i somehow see it as a form of art though

[@DonKawaii1]

Yep! I don't disagree with you. Symmetry isn't always the way!

[@ignacioangelo9849]

I really appreciate you going through Seventeen and their performances in chronological order. As a new carat, it felt like I missed out a lot but with your videos, I think I can somehow re-live their moment at that point in time. Kudos!

[@DonKawaii1]

That's awesome! We're in this together haha!

[@kaguya1980]

Getting Closer stage performance at 2018 MAMA was LIT! 🔥🔥🔥

[@keecarat]

Seventeen does a lot of asymmetrical formations while still keeping the balance, and how unique and cool is that?😂💖 almost all the time, do not stick to common lines and formations (you'll notice it more as you went further with ther discography) and it's so satisfying to watch💖 Btw, their symmetrical formations are also very pleasing and satisfying💖

[@viviannguyen4226]

Yes, finally! Now you can fully experience how shook Carats were when this released 🤭

[@animals14life]

around 15:20 when you started talking about conjoining etc... svt does this A LOT and especially so in Fallin' Flower, can't wait for you to get to that point!

[@Luna-in5nb]

Thank you for saying your honest thoughts throughout the reaction! I appreciate it because it adds more weight to the praises you give svt! Carats are confident in the skills and talents of svt because they really are that good 🤷‍♀️ So please continue to share your thoughts with us The Korean title of Getting Closer (숨이 차) actually translates to the feeling of being breathless. That's why there are parts of the choreo where the members exaggerate the movement of breathing heavily.

[@zEr0_0080]

The dark era rises!

[@cherrynim8553]

one thing i notice on svt formations is that even though it seems that it looks like a weird formation (but it's not ㅋㅋ) you will always see every one of them like literally, no matter how far or close the formation is, they make sure that the 13 of them are all visible im every frame. idunno if it's just me or not but it is not hard for me to point out who are the members dancing at the back even if it's far hehe. Thanks for this reaction vid! ♡

[@tomatobaby1]

SVT, NU’EST - HEAVEN PLZ!!!

[@abbycarat1404]

Yassss

[@jadev164]

Finally had time to watch this video ! I think someone else said it but the korean title for Getting Closer means "breathless" and the whole song and choreography is supposed to give this feeling of breathlessness and relentlessness, something slightly dangerous as well. This was choreographed by Hoshi with the Look crew again, they worked with them a lot in 2018 cause Choi Young Joon (Hoshi's usual collaborator) was busy mentoring on Produce 101. For those formations in the 2nd verse, I'm pretty sure they're angled to the side instead of to the front, hence the "asymmetry". For example, the point of the formation in the chorus is Mingyu on the far right in the back, but since it's angled, it puts Seungkwan/Woozi at the the center from the front pov. I think it just adds to the "off-kilter" feel of the song. Also yes, Woozi loves all black outfits, that + slippers are like his default fits lol.

[@cecillelustares3966]

It's all worth it stanning this group they are so talented also Woozieeeeee my goodness he might be small but his presence is strong!

[@ange_kmc]

Getting Closer wow It is so powerful, I love it and I live with carat and the fanchant is spectacular SEVENTEEN thanks for giving us this jewel

[@maulidahwz8751]

Yess.. so we'll get home and good to me reaction very soon!

[@glen_teehee]

Imagine how CARATS felt seeing SVT go from Oh My to Getting Closer in just a flick of a finger 🥴

[@juderosales254]

Be careful with Jeonghan. You might fall in love with him more when you reach Fear era 😉

[@maz_cherry]

Perfect Symmetry or Evenness is not applicable to 13 members as it's an odd number hahahaha. They might have done 3+3+3+3+1 (solo center) or 4+4+4+1 a number of times but that can't be the formation forever, right? SVT's perfect blockings plus clean execution make people believe they're always symmetrical. They do not do weird formations because EVERY MOVE, BLOCKING, TURN, GLIDE, or GESTURE has a purpose in a Seventeen choreo. I guess the term to use rather than weird is "balanced" or "abstract" lol.

[@DonKawaii1]

Yep! And saying "weird" was more in the context of curiousity, so I hope you understand that. Also right on that they can't always have the same formations all time, I've mentioned earlier to some others that symmetry isn't always the way to deliver!

[@marshmeow_]

I suggest you to react at SEVENTEEN X NUEST W "HEAVEN" Choreography video

[@valeria_jksd]

6:05 "first of all... damn" basically all my thoughts about this song 😂

[@lemonfestive]

This is the bside while the title track is home although getting closer is released first before home and it definitely make carat shock bcs it's the first time svt does hardcore dark concept. I was starstruck 🌟 😦

[@animals14life]

Also they premiered this song at their MAMA 2018 stage performance... NO ONE knew it was coming, the song hadn't even been released yet online!

[@caratdolly8019]

Finally! I hope Seventeen will make another dark concept.

I hope you check out the performance everyone is talking about lol, because it was CRAZY!!!!!! THE ENERGY was beyond this world!!! Sure you'd love it (even if you don't react to it on KZbin per se.) S.Coups gets me hype too, I like how he played with his flow and like went all the way in after Hoshi's "boom boom boom" part lol. And the barrels into those like pushups, with the head Bob n even in the first time they do it and Vernon is standing on Seungkwan and Wonwoo back... chef kiss... gets me the most amped up I swear it's so cool.

this song and choreo was a great contrast to oh my :3 btw if you want to see some behind the scenes of this choreo you can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3XXp5x-bdZlhbM 'going seventeen' used to be their sort of video series of a behind the scenes look into what they do, but now that it's their weekly show 'inside seventeen' offers all those types of things!! after you catch up with all the comebacks i'd love to hear your thoughts on their practices/rehearsals/backstage content!!

[@marshmeow_]

Manifesting seventeen dark title track🤓

[@17carrotsforlyf]

숨이 차 (the kr title of Getting Closer) means breathless which is why they have this synchronised “breathing” in their choreo n the pauses that look like they were breathless😂 the fan chant will make u breathless too lmao it’s coz svt made the fanchant for this rlly funny: svt’s full names in order from oldest to youngest and then youngest to oldest 💀 if u watch the fanchant vid for this, you’ll know why😏

[@feat.Lilyli]

I’m such a fan of the light flowery concept, but SVT had me becoming a fan of their dark concepts because how could I not with this song and choreo 😅. I know a lot of us carats were waiting for this reaction especially, and it was great.

[@novitagabriella2542]

Finally getting closer!! One of the hardest choreography in kpop in my opinion.. thanks for the reaction!

[@choicoups3593]

What could they have done during the dance break? I'm honestly asking because when you said "knowing SEVENTEEN and being who they are, they could do better than that", were you already thinking of moves in your head that ACTUALLY FIT the SVT style? Are you thinking of gymnastics style tumblings or maybe breakdances like Quest Crew? Because they're not like that. So hope you clarify because there are other kpop groups who probably do those stuff already but that is not SVT. At least, not for now.

[@DonKawaii1]

Tumblings or bboying? Hell no, that's even more gimmicky lol. What I mean is that, for an "electronic dance break", it's almost inevitable that dancers will gravitate to move a certain way: sharp movement, explosiveness, roll-offs, etc. (like what SVT has done here). Again, I just see this same pattern with 99% of boy groups. Me personally, I would've hoped for them to tackle that differently, like how they've always tried showing new things that haven't been done before in K-Pop. Subtleties, tastefulness, or a hint of context beyond movement, is what I've always liked about SVT. Hope that makes sense.

[@joellenmaiz4843]

just wanna comment that this song isnt just tiring for svt but for carats as well. They made us a rapper for this song fanchant for pete's sake. we're literally breathless too

[@iDrummerGirl]

so, this wouldn't be on your list for a while, and you probably wouldn't be able to post it to youtube, but once you get to the Semicolon album (with "Home;run") you should check out the "Hey Buddy" stage from the Incomplete concert!! Something about the choreography and just the whole performance, I think you would really like it!! ^^

Quite a bit late to comment but the formation you were weirded about at 12:24 seemed to look like a rectangle but slanted on a fancam that’s filmed in a higher angle. Somehow never noticed it. I always just looked at it as them in slanted lines so it never bothered me lol

[@pinkiepiereincarnate2291]

Carats let me know. Isn't this the dance they learn on one of the earlier going seventeen episode's? Like in the 2019 ones?

[@oikawahi4712]

It's not a title track but i think this song being a title track material shows that they put the same amount of effort and hard work into all of their songs whether it be a title or bside .So, when you listen to one of their albums, you'll see almost every song has the potential to be the title track. I don't know about you but i feel kinda dissatisfied when i listen to an album and the tt stands out and the others are not that interesting but Seventeen can't relate to that as there are so many songs that are bsides that got everyone wondering as to how are they not title tracks
