Performer React to Seventeen "Getting Closer" Dance Practice + MV

[@sheilavaidy]

Getting Closer was such a shock to Carats. This was their first time with a concept as dark as this and it was such a change from their usual bright, colorful concepts. It also really showcased a different style of choreo for them. They killed it and I'm so happy they stuck with the darker concepts (with Fear) while still also doing the more upbeat, brighter concepts (like Snap Shoot, the bside they promoted with Fear)

[@sheilavaidy]

From what I remember (I may be wrong) there wasn't even much promotion for this, they performed it at an award show with little to no warning and then people like me who didn't watch the show were just slapped in the face with the mv

[@mimidash4080]

@@sheilavaidy oh yessss i still remember vividly, seventeen? uriii seventeen performing some rock song that i didn even heard before..and they forgot tell us carats that this was a new song. i cant process my gentle sassy boo and jeonghan is shaking his head full of charisma in that song.

[@hiiamnatali]

@@sheilavaidy idk i remember that they announced that there will be a new song on MAMA

[@aMereHooman]

@@sheilavaidy I watched it first time in that award show, I was like 'who's them, WHAT!! IT'S SEVENTEEN?' AND I WAS CHOKED BY SEUNGKWAN, HE'S EXTRA HANDSOME THERE.

[@zadiatul4373]

I remember I was screaming like crazy when they performed it at MAMA damn and the fanchant tho omg sometimes I still stuck at the reverse fanchant hahahaha

[@th-bb4et]

This is one of the choreographies I believe NCT's Taeyong liked a lot. He mentioned that it inspires them to create such tight dances just like them. I kinda forgot where ai watched it though.

[@dinarmareta6470]

Yeah, that kind of thought is confusing and hilarious at once tho😂😂😂

[@hoshingi]

Specially HOW

[@pooge7510]

there is no ‘z’ sound in korean so they pronounce it as “wooji” but it is spelled in english as “woozi” honestly i think either is fine :)

[@not-identified]

In korean is 'ooji', the w is the oo sound

[@drinkwaternotalcohol]

Actually I head Woozi pronounce it both ways before. So I’m confused as hell. I just call him Jihoon lmao.

[@chringchring7451]

@@drinkwaternotalcohol He calls himself Uzi in English interview but they call him Uji in Korean

[@not-identified]

@@drinkwaternotalcohol koreans would pronunce his name as Uji/Ooji, like the comment says about the letter z, but we, who have z in our alphabet can say Woozi. But you can call him Uji, Woozi, Wooji (if you want, i guess) and/or Jihoon.

[@woodzkor]

@@SonaTalks. because woo and oo/u is written the same in korean : 우, maybe that's why it's sounds the same

[@jadev164]

Btw the korean title for this "슴이차" actually means "Breathless" which is perfectly represented through this choreo

Hehehehe yes pls

[@multo5326]

[@xiaozenni4843]

PS! For Thanks, I won’t reveal too much ^^ But there are some details in the choreography that are hard to miss, however these details make Thanks my favourite SVT choreography! 1. They use sign language! I recommend you search up the KSL for “Promise” and for “Thanks.” :) 2. In the prechorus, with the sign language, they also spell out “THX” using their formations. I recommend you watch for this. Plus the formation after the first chorus, the details are beautiful. I hope he will react to Thanks soon lol :)

[@amandalaw3july]

Seventeen has sooooo many good choreos im so glad you're reacting to more seventeen always clicking in so fast when I see seventeen in the title HAHA thanks for the video!

[@JeffAvenue]

ch.ampanda you’re welcome! Glad you’re enjoying 😁

[@staaayzen_merieee4225]

Would like to suggest again : -HOME -CLAP -THANKS -OH MY! -SNAPSHOOT

[@a.c.2463]

“I might not see you guys again cuz I might die” is such a mood. Don’t worry. Me too. I stand with you

[@cloudortruth8762]

In Korean they pronounce Woozis name more like "oooji" ji being said like "gee" but you can just read it like its written, since it is a word in English. "Woozy"

[@laradedios4813]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REACTION VIDEO I'VE NEVER LAUGHED SO MUCH THE PAST FEW DAYS DJSJXKSKDD PUSH-UPS AS A DANCE HAHAHAHA i think it's also very timely that you mentioned hoshi acting as the main lead choreographer because some people think we, "carats", give him too much credit for saying he works on seventeen's choreography when it's like you said, he works with people as a lead choreographer for seventeen's dance moves so essentially there will be parts that are choreod by actual choreographers and some parts choreod by hoshi, himself. also to answer some of your questions during the video, it's actually wonwoo and seungkwan lifting vernon up during vernon's part. and many people confuse wonwoo and dk's face because of their similar face structures, at first. woozi is also pronounced as ooji :> fans even call him this as an endearment! YOU'RE REALLY DOING AMAZING WITH NAMES THOUGH SO KUDOS you got plenty of them correct in the latter half of the video :> also i would just like to mention that this choreography actually won them Best Performance in MAMA 2018 when they first released it during december of that year and i think you'll like that live performance a lot

[@AstraRoseYT]

우지/Uji is just the Korean pronunciation of the name Woozi as the Korean language does not use the ‘w’ or ‘z’ sound, the thing about it standing for our Jihoon was just an added meaning by carats which it’s now another nickname for him...doesn’t make it any less cute though (I had to ask my Korean friend for a true explanation of what was going on with his name 😐)

[@laradedios4813]

AAAAA thank you to those who corrected me! i'm sorry i feel like i have failed as a carat ㅠㅠ i'll be editing the above post thanks to this correction

[@JeffAvenue]

Haha you’re welcome! This was so fun to watch! I’ll keep learning the better pronunciation 👍🏽

[@karenina6536]

"i can't process all of this" yeah, we know, we used to be that kind of person everytime svt's dance practice released:")

[@yelliecakes04]

they released this in MAMA 2018 and all i remember was i was shouting at my television because they're lit

[@JeffAvenue]

Iellie Tuazon haha I bet!

[@thuphuongvu5131]

Thanks for the reaction Jeff! I know we're all speechless while watching SEVENTEEN. They are one of the best performers in Kpop! In fact, they received MAMA Best Dance Performance (Boy Group) 2 years in a row for Don't Wanna Cry and Oh My! After Hit, Fear and Getting Closer, which are dark concepts, I suggest Aju Nice for a change! SEVENTEEN themselves said it was in their top 5 most important singles and to Vernon "it's the song that projects the members’ characteristics and chemistry the most”. It's a summer bop and is really well-known among South Korea's general public. A lot of footwork, reference to Michael Jackson's style and the use of props (suspenders). Prepare to be amazed by SEVENTEEN's energy in this song, even the dance practice is super fun! Fun fact: the song's ending lyrics are " Today was very enjoyable . I want to have the next date soon too. Time flies by when I take you home. See you tomorrow at the same time" And they use it in their concert as the "neverending encore" which can last up to more than 20 minutes. It's like a promise that they will see us carats again soon. Now who would want to go home after that!

[@missakiayouzawa2062]

Jeff : i can not to react to seventeen for a whole week Me : i can't live another quarantaine week without your videos And all of seventeen choreographies are so good and this is why i stan them

[@kimlisa6747]

my absolute favourite song by Seventeen! Sexy , powerful, brilliant at times dangerous, it has it all ! Choreography follows the intensity of the lyrics. Was looking forward to your reaction to this masterpiece! Thank you ^^*

[@doodoodoodoorudoo13]

I giggled like a little girl when you mistaken DK for Wonwoo 🤣 It brought me back to when I first slipped into the Diamond life and would always confuse them for each other. They do kinda look a like, that’s why hahaha

[@JeffAvenue]

Jan Roberta DK has a more pronounced cheekbones but it was softer in that shot I think that’s why I thought it was Wonwoo haha

[@doodoodoodoorudoo13]

Jeff Avenue YEAH!!! Plus it was only half his face. I completely understand 🤣

[@d.dariianaa]

YES I REALLY WANTED THIS

[@louielaraiscool]

Woozi's stage name is (우지) which sounds like "oo-ji" but when there is the 우 letter (oo) at the beginning or ending of a name it's given a "W" so in english you get Woozi instead of (ooji - korean pronunciation ). It's hard to explain lol but like jungwoo in english is pronounced jung-woo, jungwoo in korean is like jeong-u. Koreans dont use the defined 'W' sound in their alphabet. SORRY THAT WAS A REALLY LONG EXPLANATION AND PROBABLY CONFUSING BUTTTT...... YEAH LMAO

[@Mysticalsnow9678]

Fun fact: when hoshi was choreographing the song, hoshi said that he knew it would be a harder choreo, but he trusted the members and had no doubt that they could do it well and they did perfectly ❤️ just some appreciation for hoshi’s love of his team

[@auxa2831]

This is my favourite choreo ever, i remember watching this during mama 2018 and being SHOOK and i wasn't even a CARAT back then but i watched this choreo and all their live performances WAY too many times and decided i needed to stan. Proud CARAT now

[@dorcasmorente3926]

I remember when they performed it for the first time, they break the stage with this performance, I mean literally break the tiles in the stage was broken and it was cracked, lol. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAQH

[@AnimeRocksArt]

You know one reason I like Jeff Avenues is because he doesn't look for every single mess up... And instead looks at the BEST parts of every dance. I found another reaction video of this song by another KZbinr and all he did was look at the mess ups and.... I didn't even really want to finish the video. I was like DUDE! You know not everything is perfect. So thank you Jeff Avenues for your videos. I really enjoy them.

[@charisse7601]

this, in my opinion as a dancer, is seventeen’s best choreography to date.

[@Mei-hf9jv]

8:36 is Wonwoo/Jeon Wonwoo. 8:41 is DK(Dokyeom)/ Lee Seokmin.

[@paloomapalomaa]

This song is a reason why i love seventeen. I came to their concert last November without knowing all of their songs (only few songs i knew - including getting closer). You have to see their live performance. Such an experience..

[@daiana9161]

Oh, next you should do their dance practice for "Good to me" (it doesn't have an MV so you could do a lyrics video instead). Also this is a live of Fallin' flower if you want to watch it.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHqzaaOQms9kpbs

I can still remember my reaction to this while watching it being performed by them for the first time in MAMA 2018. I still can't believe they did that and it's so AMAZING!

[@honeygiuk]

I appreciate that you consistently have been trying with their names over the course of these videos! I feel like a lot of folks are afraid of being wrong so they don’t identify anyone unless they’re 100% sure of who it is. It’s really satisfying to see you get to know them and also just refreshing to see someone who puts themselves out there and is genuine and isn’t afraid to be wrong sometimes.

[@caratnctzen7488]

"I can’t process this" literally what all carats think, that’s why we watch the mvs and dance practice videos thirteen times to focus on every member equally

[@wishuback_]

The comeback before this one was OH MY!. One of the brightest SVT has done, and they performed THIS for the first time and also practically dropped at the same time in the MAMA 2018. Imagine the shock. It's also SVT's hardest fanchant to date (funfact, usually SVT's fanchants are chanted with their stage names, but GETTING CLOSER's fanchant is a full name fanchant, older to youngest, THEN BACKWARDS. This comeback was truly nuts.)

[@jakeprim9126]

Idk why but I think it’s so adorable when he is naming the members and It just makes me so happy knowing someone new is starting to learn more about them💕 I wish him the best of luck 😂

[@dorcasmorente3926]

"Mingyu looking fine as always" AND YES WE STAN A GUY WHO LOOKS SO TOTALLY FINE DOING NOTHING HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Suh6727]

What I appreciate about Seventeen's dancing as a group is that no one sticks out. In a lot of Kpop groups, there are usually one or two members who stick out from either dancing in their own style, throwing in extra moves, or just overall lacking in skills which just makes the entire visual of the overall performance a bit off. With Seventeen, none of the members come off as doing too much nor are any of them lacking. It's quite a sight to see and I take joy in others are appreciate their dancing as well 🙂
