[@riizeshane]

let's all accept it, SEUNGHAN completes the perfect flavor in riize. RIIZE has to have SEUNGHAN.

[@toanyone2241]

When Seunghan said Talk Saxy is his style he didn't lie.

[@luzrayrulov3443]

Some fans are actually now trying to create new Talk Saxy challenge using the second half chorus!!! 🤣and facts, Seunghan definitely shines in this concept, He has a very distinct style!! Also the fancams are so nice to watch, especially for Sohee and Seunghan cuz they're wearing very fit top outfits in this era so their body pops are so emphasized.

[@JeffAvenue]

oh haha glad im not the only one. I also saw a tweet earlier saying the second half of the chorus/choreo should've been the challenge and I agreeeee

[@itstinqueen]

I agree. If we compare GAG challenge and the Talk Saxy challege, i feel like it’s a bit lacking. I’m glad fellow briize took the initiative 🙏🏽🎉

[@sheena6582]

fr 😊😊

[@marwakassem1600]

I feel like we've been so blown away by Wonbin and Shotaro's dancing that we didn't appreciate Seunghan as much before but he's absolutely insaneeeee in this comeback oh my god the groove he has reminds of old kpop hiphop

[@soo9991]

Yes he really shines this comeback

[@mb7se]

I've always appreciated seunghan's dancing since day one

[@fathy2370]

@@mb7se Me too. His dancing has always been my fav among them.

[@rj27ish]

The way he's been killing it dancing-wise since Siren and some didn't notice his dance skills until this comeback is insane. His center part and the chorus in Siren showcased his dancing ability a lot too so I don't get why his dancing skill is only getting 'appreciated' now. His dancing style has always been my favorite from the group.

[@aina6398]

he and shotaro always been catching my eyes since siren. seunghan literally own the siren dance practice but people are biased and ignore him

[@Dhanistayjeuni]

When seunghan said “it makes me want to learn how to swim and cross the ocean to America to learn this choreo, its really MY STYLE” 😻 Bruhhh.. seunghan make lots of people melting and he did bias wrecked in this comeback

[@HSH1004]

Seunghan puts his own color and personality in his dancing and it makes his dancing so stylish. It's a joy watching him enjoying himself 😂

[@MrL961]

How we can imagine that "jisung hyung" seunghan transform into this now .

[@xzzkat]

Seunghan’s dance style is sooo satisfying the way he hits those beats 😭😭 you should watch his fancam too, it showcases the details of his dancing better

[@ryannec7]

while seunghan is in a hiatus, i've been coming back here just to hear these compliments at 8:39 . #7RIIZE

[@andreaservillon3995]

Seunghan and the f*cking jaw

[@ssOngOng]

Yeah, Seunghan is so eye-catching in this comeback. As a dancer, he is excellent and his vocal music is also great. After watching your reaction, I miss him more. I hope he can return as soon as possible.😢

[@PrincessNana08]

Seunghan wore this fitted shirt in their first perfomance on the music show and GOD HIS DANCE LINE WAS EVERYTHING

[@valleriestar2172]

dude you need to see seunghan predebut video when he dancing alone to bts fire, HE ROCK THE STAGE! HE WAS BORN TO BE PERFORMER. CRAZY TALENTED

[@nyxlechuga4501]

seunghan in this comeback is yes, GIVING. like he wasn't made for the song, it's like the song was made for him instead. and especially if he dances with the black outfit. on the other hand, talk saxy is definitely for RIIZE, each member had their own distinctive parts that fit them so well, your bias list is going to be wrecked 😭✨

[@dinoteatime]

its seunghan era fr fr

[@user-gp2bz3sd4k]

Seunghan's fancam from their first appearance on music show's honestly I can't remember which one it was but he was wearing a black and yellow shirt and DAMN the way he isolates and then flows specially in the first verse when Sohee sings "Do you wanna roll?" Its not as clear in the dance practice but damn rent was due for him on that day for no reason.

[@HSH1004]

He did it for meeee

[@jeonghanpetrock]

you having a breakdown over seunghan is so relatable HAHA

[@xzzkat]

Finally someone understands!! I’ve been rewatching his fancam non stop. I’m OBSESSED with his dancing style. The fluidity and weightlessness in his movements contrasted to his slight popping style is insane. He as a very specific interpretation of this choreo I love how he puts his own quirk on the moves (and he’s not even my bias…)

[@beigebeige7137]

Yes.. Seunghan always catches my attention and my eyes naturally follows him. He is so fine and talented. 🔥

[@haloooworlddddd]

seunghan dance is always so clean and neat but still powerful

[@airryyy]

Seunghan is always my bias since they announced the new rookies. I really love his dancing style.

[@skyewalker5176]

Sohee and Seunghan - 03 line is SERVING! The presence, vocals and groove are all so good

[@huanghannah]

Who would've thought that Seunghan the giggly shy boy from Welcome to NCT Universe with sweet and soft vocal tones is actually an amazingly sharp and smooth dancer. We saw a bit of his dancing talent in the program but i didn't know his dancing is at this level. I am so happy that this comeback shows more of his dancing abilities.

[@LuNa-gn9zg]

Seunghan has always been quite a powerful dancer. He makes every choreography his own, in a natural way. Even in Get a Guitar he had small adjustments which made it special to him. For me he always had that aura to him, but I’m glad more people are noticing it now. Everyone deserves to see his solo fancams on music shows, you’ll be missing out otherwise, trust me.

[@Jyn_768]

I never smiled so long when watching a yt reaction 😅 Seunghan totally SLAYS this choreo. I can't stop watching his fancams, his control and precision is so amazing, and he just looks super attractive dancing. I really hope he gets appreciated more because he definitely is very talented, not to mention a lovable personality too. ❤️

[@Ree-js9lc]

Seeing the Seunghan in SMRookies to the Seunghan now with Riize is such a Eureka moment like when he hit that opener in Siren, I saw a phenomenal and strong dancer that blew me away! I got addicted to watching his fancams since then and there was no turning back! But similar to you I have all the reasons to ULT every single one and just had to go through each member's fancam as well 'coz they are all sooooo GOOD! Anyway, just a thought that came to me - I hope both he and Mark go do a dance choreo together as they will totally SWAG the heck out!

[@xzzkat]

So happy you’re appreciating seunghan’s dancing so much because he is amazing wow I can’t believe I only just realised after this comeback ❤ and YES this choreo is made for him. He stands out the most for me

[@haloooworlddddd]

jeff, can you make a video special to analysis seunghan's dance only. we need someone as capable as you to proof how a great dancer seunghan is 🥺🙏

[@glrgnc]

This reaction video is exactly my reaction to watching the Seunghan fancam. I rewound the first music show fancam so much that I wanted to watch every detail over and over again, and I realized once again that he owns this concept. I have to be honest, even though they are all good, you have to admit that Seunghan owns this era. Thank you for expressing this so eloquently.

[@fathy2370]

Seunghan has always been caching my attention the most both dance wise and visual wise out of everyone in the group. Shotaro might has better tecnique, but I feel like Seunghan's move look more organic in a way. There's a natural flow on the way he dances, like he has that groovy fluid kinda syle yet precise and sharp at the same time. Also imo, his facial expression is the best among them so far. I notice that even from their very first dance cover posted on RIIZE instagram on July 30th. But the thing I adore so much about Seunghan dancing is the head movement and he always consistent about it, like it flows naturally on him. For example you can see here 1:39 also a small pop on his head here 3:50, and he was the only one doing it aparently. No shade to Shotaro as the main dancer but that small detail makes him different (someone with passion & professional). And now that you mention "choreographer" makes it more sense. I'm just so glad that you finally notice & apreciate him more now. As always thank you so much Jeff for your great analysis! I'm a fan ❤️ NOTE: I love everyone, I adore each of them, it just that Seunghan did it for me. And this is absolutely just my opinion, with respect of course. So, have a nice day everyone 😊 edit: Wow bro this just gave me chills, beacuse I wrote this long ass coments even before I watch your second reaction (on analysis side) lol. And literally everything what you said are exactly representing what's on my mind about Seunghan. Just woooow..

[@byeom]

Talk saxy is definitely seunghan coded omg

[@chronos6259]

seunghan bias wrecked everyone point blank period! honestly his level of dancing is just something else, the innate swagger emanating from him is just perfection!!!

[@blink_____jenniequeen6670]

03z are ACE material 🔥🔥🔥

[@SpaghettiPlays]

I love RIIZE because I can trust they will eat a performance. Like Shotaro since his NCT days have done nothing but SERVE. Agree that Seunghan fits this concept the best!

[@fullmoon_O]

I was so surprised with how light Sungchan was in his feet, he must have learnd with Shotaro. You can notice the way he travels through the choreography, it's so fluid and light. And I was really pleased with the synchronization of the arms movement, with the differents heights can be hard to synchronize

[@Chichuuuchi]

Shotaro running the practice like military pays off. 🧡😂

[@Ottebearnii]

19:25 Exactly ❤ I love this part of the choreo and hips movement of Shotaro OMG🔥

[@Cid-zj1cg]

Seunghan 🔥

[@shennovalie539]

I really miss seunghann

[@evelynhakyo2245]

Yes!!! Thankyou for recognising seunghan!!! ❤

[@kashmeramallick612]

Sohee and seunghan owned this song and all of them is also good

[@Itsloceng]

Not them being visually attractive group but at the same time all member are vocally gifted, all even can rap and them having more main dancer material is just.. You know top quality of a boy group when their fandom struggle to pick a bias and just went ot7 instead. The level of RIZZE

[@agusrasmiyatun4992]

They are my second group after nct dream❤

[@amandag1337]

OT7 for sure

[@xxlmxx2039]

I FEEL YOU JEFF WITH SEUNGHAN !! He’s such an amazing dancer (and im btw early lols

[@ayenayen3806]

I also tried many times to watch everyone but always end up focusing on seunghan. The hold he has on me on this comeback. my goodness

[@glrgnc]

We didn't get a chance to see Seunghan dance much during his Rookies days, but we knew how good a dancer he was from the short moments and the praise from the choreographer and the members. I was shocked that people didn't appreciate him enough in the Siren performance video because he was crazy there. Earlier in the GAG dance practice reaction video, I wrote that Seunghan was ignored and hoped to be noticed soon. This reaction made me happy, thank you.

[@airryyy]

I fell in love with him and his visual since they announced new SMrookies. And fell even more for him after I saw his performance at SMTOWN concert last year. I knew he’s a great dancer but I didn’t expect him to be that good!! Cant get my eyes of him.

[@iiperplexedii]

Rewatching this to say thank you for complimenting Seunghan so much. Waiting for the day RII7E is complete again.

[@hanhngo7041]

Really love and looking forward to ur reaction Jeff. This concept fit Seunghan the most. He ate that.

[@AkunBaru-hg6wg]

First, i want to say thank you for your reaction to Riize. You are the only reactor i trust when it comes to dance. And i'm glad you pointed out about Seunghan. At first time i've found Riize, his dancing isn't interesting to me. But it changes when i watch his part in Get A Guitar. The last part in GaG, the one that become his fave too. The first thing in my mind when see him dancing is his sharp moves. And then, i can't stop watching his fancam 😂 i hope he knows about this, that more people acknowledge his dancing skill. And he has great expression too. I can't be proud more as a Hongjanggu (his fandom name). You should watch his fancam (the one with black and yellow body suit) he looks so hot there ❤

[@riizevelvet]

love your reaction so much!! that was so detailed! kinda got teary eyed watching you appreciating seunghans dance so much like he really deserves it 🥺 i hope he gets to see your video 🧡

[@WackadoPunk]

The way I now wait for your reactions every time Riize release anything!

[@dy3410]

anton and eunseok's dance improvements are so clear in this era 🥺🫶

[@haloooworlddddd]

damn i miss seunghan already

[@sheena6582]

i think it's sohee and seunghan era ❤

[@Loey1309]

Days come and go and I still fall in love more and more with Shotaro's dance, I'm just so happy to see him more

[@chocomoss1]

私はダンスの素人ですが、この曲のseunghanが輝いてる！と思いました。リアクションを見ながら一緒に盛り上がって楽しかったです！

[@hollyquinn8536]

Thank you for a very good and on point reaction. I appreciate the way you pay attention to details, point out and give each and every one the recognition that they deserve. To me, all the members shine in their own parts, especially SeungHan, as he didn't overstate when he said this choreography was definitely his style and he wanted to swim across the ocean right away to learn it. And in reality, he nails it to the point that we forget to mention his amazing voice shown in verse 2 and ad-libs during outro. Watching his vertical fancams is so satisfying (the outfits were plus). So I hope he will get more love, attention and recognition more after this For RIIZE, your bias can change everyday =)) It is to say that SM makes a really perfect group, regarding the fact that now they have a very supportive "group fandom", but not just "member fandom" like in Kpop usually. Very look forward to their growth in the future as the meaning of their name

[@Imold498]

Hmm Sohee for me ate this concept up. He's a main vocal still keeping up the choreo and singing his line, high notes and adlibs. Especially towards the end where he's moving around the members while doing adlibs.

[@justthewayiam4999]

1:51 to 2:01 really caught my eyes and ears. Sohee is singing in triplets here while he and everyone else is moving to straight eighths. Even playing or singing triplets against eighths is seriously difficult let alone when playing the piano having one hand go against the other, but keeping a triplet rhythm with your voice while your body keeps eighths? I wonder how much time it took Sohee to perfect that. That's HARD! Also, my autocorrect wants to turn Sohee into shoe the whole time. I don't know why but I find this cute for some reason 😆

[@ohsenrye]

Eunseok said that this choreo is like a marathon. And it is! look at him running around changing positions

[@ding3458]

One thing Shotaro is gonna do is get the isolations DOWN

[@wehopoutthecoupe825]

I agree when you said that they are like a perfect "perfect" group. I mean I'm ulting all of them

[@nyek1246]

Don't wanna spoil you, but rise and realize ep 8... you'll know why seunghan is killinv this choreo 😊

[@itstinqueen]

I appreciate Jeff so much for appreciating and for noticing Anton’s improvements AND for mentioning it. He’s lowkey defending uri maknae from those trolls who called Anton talentless.

[@susu2078]

Thank you for the good review. I think Seunghan understood this concept well and has the ability to express it.

[@Lenna_.]

Yees! I was waiting for you to react to this! ❤Love your reaction and analysis so much .. it's always precious time watching you!❤Everything you said .. on point!! Seunghan is oooh!!! He is absolutely phenomenal this comeback! I can't look at anyone else .. all attention is on him! ❤But also ..Anton! He seems to be very confident now and I love it!!!! His lines are my favorite! ❤

[@ap9165]

I need Shotaro x Taemin x Kai x Ten dance collaboration

I WOULD DIE

[@rheawilday9769]

Riize have this cheography video where after dancing Wonbin and Shotaro sit down. They are tired, I feel bad for them. I want to hug them and thank them for working hard.My babies slay hard this dance. Riize is on the Next Level now.

[@welcome2abieroad]

Being a professional dancer, Shotaro’s moves are calculated and consistent. I think he needs to be this anchor to the team. Imagine what happens when he improvises and make tweaks here and there. It will damage the whole group performance. Coz SHOTARO will always stand out. He is so polite always. Thank you Shotario.

[@jamerosiemd]

"I DON'T KNOW WHO TO LOOK AT!!" ---- me every RIIZE performance hahahahahah

[@dianeroseasong5794]

I love how Eunseok have a solo moment like the one in get a guitar where everyone's dancing while he has his own choreography

[@onlymeizii]

[@Nameless_mixes]

NCTzens: Go into stanning this groups thinking Shotaro and Sungchan will be their biases Seunghan: Guess again 😏 The way this man bias wrecked me to Kwangya and back! He is DANGEROUS!!! Lol

[@Nameless_mixes]

Yeah, it’s going to be hard to form a bias line when everyone is insanely talented! I swear, SME doesn’t mess around with their groups.

[@4neonct]

sohee and seunghan climbing on my bias list 🥰

[@AnxMa]

I've always had this androgynous look as guys in K POP, but in my case it was a real fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :) To anyone who's ever been a victim of hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: 'maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. They're extremely toxic who can see your potential and value but will drag you down with intent and hideus determination, when they notice a slightest sign of insecurity. Remember; There's never anything wrong with you.

Preciso da legenda ativada por vc. Senão só entendo a empolgação.kkkk A melhor coisa que aconteceu para Shotaro e Sungchan foi ter ido pra este grupo, todos são protagonistas e os meninos tem os seus destaques. Eles tem a cara do grupo. Os meninos sofreram? Sofreram! Mas agora colherão os louros. Tdos eles merecem , mas meus meninos estão de parabéns! Muita saúde e sucesso para todos eles.

[@sinjospeach]

I've been a kpop fan for a long time and I like/love a lot of groups, but I only have one ult group where every single member can be my bias at any given time. Riize, I think, will be the second. Lately, I can't take my eyes off of Sohee, though. It's like, something about him has matured in such a short amount of time.

[@Password9141]

Agree, RIIZE is so MTV coded

[@michelle5564]

the move that Sungchan did at the beginning of the second chorus reminds me of tvxq Yunho (early dbsk days)

"Ra pa pa pa" comes from 🎷....I think. Hence, "When you call my name..."ra pa pa pa" I hear 🎷. When you talk...its Saxy!"...I think. 😁
