NCT 127's Nastiest Choreography | NCT 127 - Kick It MV + Dance Practice Reaction

[@juliakwiecien8270]

'taeyong is a show off' haha yes but also he was the only one who as a trainee was expected to give 110%

[@sabrysazai]

I am new to the fandom, can you please explain briefly why did they have higher expectations and were so strict with him? Because I have seen different comments mentioning this(which would make him being a show off even more valid)but I don't know the story behind it :)

[@ashm3144]

@@sabrysazai Basically it is because of a post from an ex trainee, and in a few words he said that things were really hard for Taeyong, they put a lot of pressure on him, if others could make mistakes he could not, he had to achieve a score of 101, even when scolding him it was not like for the others because they got to do it in front of everyone in the corridor, it is a heartbreaking story and basically it is supposed to be because he (taeyong) could exceed expectations, but even so.. (just imagine how tough it is for a person who completely knew nothing about the industry). But if you want to read the whole story bcs maybe I didn't make the things clear for you, you can read this twt thread twitter.com/foryouTY_/status/1334373149425553409?s=19 I hope It helped :)

[@sabrysazai]

@@ashm3144 oh yeah, it helped a lot. Thank you so much! It must have been so tough, he is so strong...

[@cyninshadows7041]

I know when you said taeyong was a show off it was with appreciation for the fact. Principal dancers are chosen FOR their ability to stand out and their willingness to do so. As for the story of his harsh training as a rookie, high expectations are not uncommon in training for idols headed for leadership roles. Far more was expected from Lee Taeyong because he was not like the other trainees. I suspect from the moment he walked off the street through the SM doors Lee Sooman KNEW Lee Taeyong was The One. I'm a playwright who has sat through days of auditions so I know casting can be that clear cut. And taeyong may have been aware of his status from early on. The hard to the brink of brutal training he received may seem unfair to us but all of the exceptional.rookies probably realized stakes were SO high for their new franchise. And for their leader SM had to make SURE that young man was truly up to the task before him...to Lead 23 members (and growing) of the biggest kpop experiment SM had ever attempted. Neo Culture Technology. So much was riding on Taeyong to help pull.it off. He rose to the demands on him because he had been fully prepared for & he UNDeR STOOD the mission as well as the honor to be chosen to lead it No one could have blamed taeyong if during that trying time he broke down or gave up. But he didn't because it appears quitting is not in him. Also the FACT that he had NO prior training was part of his value. He was the ultimate test of the SM Idol training program. The level of brilliance he was able to achieve SO quickly (as did many other gifted rookies) proves just how well the SM training program works. i do believe Taryong has been and will continue to be rewarded for his outstanding effort and excellence in ways that almost no idols in kpop will ever know.

[@kaszynotte4554]

fun fact! it was taeyong’s idea to add the fingers cause the original choreography were just fists above their heads.

[@nurjihaninayah1463]

Also the part of mark stepping on taeyong's knee

[@kete.C]

Taeyong HAD to become a show off. During his trainee days his teachers were 2 times harder with him, was scolded in public and was always expected to give more than what was required from other trainees. He entered SM with no dance skills whatsoever and became the top trainee and the center and one of the main dancers of NCT. He constantly gives his input in choreos, leads the dance practices and has even coreographed himself (Whiplash and Baby Don't Like it)

[@user-ch5cw8vg3u]

Yeah the choreo is insane!!! Actually according to the choreographer Taeyong gave so much ideas, for example he is the one who came up with the finger movements during the chorus, during Mark dance break towards the end, he suggested Mark to jumped using his knees. The choreographer called Taeyong "bank idea" and even said "I started doubting of himself" because he gave so many good ideas 😅

The choreographer, Koosung Jung was actually impressed by Taeyong coz he has so many ideas. Taeyong suggested for Mark to step on his knee during the fight scene. It wasn't part of Koosung's original choreography. He agreed to it but still ask the group to discuss it amongst themselves. Koosung trusted NCT 127 to also throw in ideas. Koosung Jung was interviewed by Mina i KZbin. He's good. Oh, and dont forget to watch the director's cut of Kick it. :D

taeyong is so passionate on nct`s performances & it shows thru! ♡

[@precelafabregas1710]

I love how you anticipate Taeil's high note after the three.

[@orange6863]

This is one of their best in my opinion. I am so happy as a Haechan bias coz he got a lot of center moments especially the end part, it is so lit. Also, I agree with your Taeil comment. All I can say is somehow SM gives him other opportunities outside of their music like hosting some NCT stuff like Sun & Moon and other shows. Making up for his few screentime ig.

[@ah3155]

When they performed this on music shows they performed an interlude before the song started . The interlude is a beautiful masterpiece, you should watch it.

[@lauraellard9941]

Since you mentioning Taiel and vocals, you have to watch From Home Rearranged live performance. Even if you just watch for your enjoyment.

[@cthgmbr3205]

Oh yes ! It is even better to see the reaction when, like Don, the reactor had a NCT journey and they actually know the boys. Then, the mama version could be a bit emotional and the "mv" too.

[@aldrineramos384]

3:49 thank you for appreciating my boi Moon Taeil 😭💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@AishaKyes]

NCT127 have the best bridges because they have Doyoung, Haechan and Taeil, yup yup, straight facts 😂 If your group doesn't have Taeil singing his high note for 10 seconds then idk what your group is doing 😂 The bridge with the dance cutting in is one of the best bridges 127 has, though they have a LOT of great ones. I love the black and yellow visual combo, and the outfits were top-notch! The dance opens up super hard and it hypes you up so well. And the "puku puku pow pow" is stuck in your head forever after hearing it once 😂 Kick It is huge for both the fans and the neos. Just like Cherry Bomb before. It's the most iconic song they have and it shot NCT's popularity so high. It was truly a legendary moment seeing them promote with Kick It and getting their wins and awards left and right. Everyone was so emotional and it was so beautiful. The fandom grew the most during this era and it's just insane how much impact on the industry it left. It's been a year since Kick It released and you still have everyone dancing Taeyong's opening part. No matter how much I love Ten, Taemin and other great SM dancers I always will put Taeyong as the number one. He just brings so much to the group and performances. He added his own finger part and he also added the part where he lets Mark jump off his knee during the fight scene towards the end for more impact, because it "looked boring". Choreographers always praise him for his creativity and he always adds so many ideas to the dances and MV's, like Kick It, Make A Wish, Mad Dog, gimme gimme etc. Taeyong's attention to detail and acting is just out of this world, makes every performance his personal stage and never fails to deliver something new and fresh. I could go on for hours praising this boy who started off from absolutely nothing. He really is THE ICON of K-pop. And Kick It will be forever iconic in K-pop.

[@a_maze_in_kwangya]

Omg you forgot Jeffrey! He's crying in the corner without his milk now!

[@beatrizguerrero91]

KICK IT is such a cultural reset.

[@sweetyongf]

Kick It choreo is really so sick!! I never get sick of watching it! I thought I’d let you know though that this song is the first of NCT’s uncut dance practices, where they show a bit more of the learning and practicing process and you can see where how and when they decide to do certain moves. It would be cool to see you react to, but there are some bits of the boys just talking to the fans too so if you don’t wanna see that, you can check it out on your own too!

[@ell3basi]

the face you made during taeil's high note. freaking relatable, man.

[@luvrwrld5396]

I loved Haechan in this

[@sky4730]

Sorry i keep on posting. Haha just wanna point out since you also noticed. Lol. NCT 127 is not afraid to show their individuality in their performance. And unlike other groups, it still looks amazingly good and somehow looks synchronized though despite expressing their individuality in the performance.

[@JeffLocka7]

Bro Taeyong is so fcknnnn good like you guys dont even understand how good he is. He kills every choreography like he choreographed it himself. He deserves much more recognition for his dancing and literally everything else he does. I hope this guy becomes a legend in the Kpop scene. My top 5 SM dancers currently: (IN MY OPINION) 1.Kai 2.Taemin (Even tho I dont like his dance style that much but I gotta put him at 2 or it would be disrespectful) 3.Taeyong 4.Ten (Honestly would rank Taeyong and Ten the same but Taeyong is my bias so I put him at 3 lol) 5. Yuta (stop sleeping on him ffs, SM pls give him some promotions this guy can sing and dance and is visually really appealing idk what you want more SM. Give him more center time and give him his Main Dancer role back idk why they gave it to mark (if its true idk I just read it somewhere in a comment section and it got hella likes so I assume its true) but yeah Mark is now Main Dancer and Main Rapper smh you cant downgrade someone and upgrade someone who already has much more exposure. Just so you guys dont think I hate mark, he comes at #6 for me he has one of the coldest dance styles ever idk how to explain it but he looks so cool when he dances.

[@DonKawaii1]

I agree, Taeyong is so unique. And btw, that is a great list! 👌👌

[@kpoppergirl6235]

Tbh Mark is much better than Yuta to me(no offence to Yuta) .His style , his swag , his sharpness , his precision ,idk just everything about him is so cool .Specially after being in so many units , he has mastered so many styles .Not to forget , his strong stage presence is just a plus .

[@kpoppergirl6235]

But they shouldnt have removed Yuta from main dancer position .Its direspectful.

[@sky4730]

Kick it was so good, other idols dance to it too and still knows it to this day. There are compilation videos of idols dancing to Kick it. Kick it also became a Tiktok challenge

[@aar7143]

This song for me has the swaggiest choreo and the most anthemic chorus to date. In my opinion this song seals them as the ‘it’ group. The choreography is not as hard as their other songs like Superhuman or Regular, so it’s easy for people to dance to it. the choreo trended for a long time and probably the biggest shock in 2020. The gwara gwara was also replicated in ‘Punch’ in double time. Taeyong and his fingers? I told you even his extremities are compelled to dance. 😆

[@mcosmos-h2w]

HELL YEAH HAECHAN JACKSON

[@suiim_jpn]

He praising Taeil’s vocals is everything😭

[@hcsymkin]

I agree on so many points - the rest of the boys are creepin up my bias list that i think everyone are closely rank - nct singer are singers (amazing vocals) - one of the best bridges - 127 individuality is strong and that makes the group stand out - this is YUTA's era, he best looks the part of kick it btw, TAEIL's high not is so awesome, 127 can dance break to it! ♡

When I think back, Kick It to me is such a banger. Came out during quarantine & final exams period while I was in uni so it really brought such an essence of feel-good bouncy groove. Really set the path to what 2020 represented to NCTzens

[@rebeckaroy6790]

Yay, I really really love your reaction videos. Whenever I see a bit of choreo, I look forward to hearing what you think of it. Kick It was definitely a moment for 127. Everybody and their mum was doing the dance challenge and knew the key moves. It really was a move up to the next level of recognition for them. I do love the raw, kinda cocky or smirking attitude to this choreo. Felt like a perfect nod to Bruce Lee and also with the style of the song. (The whole album is honestly amazing too) I know what you mean about Taeyong being a show-off (I don't think that has to have a negative connotation, maybe a natural "showman" ?). He has a bit of freedom to play with choreo when he's in the centre position so he always comes up with the characters and variations to really communicate an attitude. It's so attention grabbing and creative.

[@drenkard]

Couldn’t agree more :)

Not dance related too: whenever they are recording, Taeil gets praised everytime by producers and other staff. Doyoung also mentioned in their recent song that Taeil's high note was scary. Lol. The one i love the most was not a high note but when Taeil did a "sigh" on one of their songs with a nice tone. A producer even said "idol" to him. Doyoung on the other hand, is the cover king. Made a different version of Breathin by Ariana. And recently, Falling by Harry Styles. And both in my opinion, are better than the original

"Taeyong is a show off" hahahhaa.. Even if he is, he deserve to be a show off. He once used to be scolded by his dance teacher when he was a trainee that said he was a bad dancer. That makes him practised over practised everyday, and looks how's he turned out now 😁 And now they've (their dance choreographer) said that taeyong is an idea bank of lots of their choreo. And for kick it the moving fingers above the head, also part when mark step on his knee are his ideas. Yeah...that what he is, a show off ❤️ "Kick it" for me was the first song that make me knew their exsistment. Altough at first I'm a pure EXO-L (still does), this song was the one that made me want to know them more. Moon TAEIL is one of their (SM) best vocalist, so he is many of Czennies bias wrecker....I think 😁 And YUTA's black hair, is what we're waiting for this year 😁

[@Briiczennie44]

Totally agree with you that 127 members are allowed to show off their individuality and showmanship. The Jaehyun, Doyoung, Heachan and Taeil combo is top notch! Not to take away from Yuta and Jungwoo when ever SM uses them.

There's no choreo, but obviously I don't think anyone will care if you're just watching as a NCTzen.

don i do also feel bad for taeil but that is the hazard of being the main vocal in a group. it could have been your moment but since you can't dance during the bridge, you really maybe overlooked. and it may be the reason why haechan is not a main dancer in dream when he is a main dancer in 127, because he is a main vocal in dream(please, do correct me if i am wrong). there is only one person who has been able to have the title of main dancer and main vocal and that is taemin (who is a monster). and while i am at it, please do check out shinee. i want to know your opinion on their performances, which i think is dope.
