Masculine Choreography on Female K Pop Idol?! | Dancer Reacts to

[@onnesha]

Also moonbyul is known for her unconventional dancing and personality, members even call her handsome lol, she's a definite chick magnet with her charisma on stage.

[@onnesha]

+ it looks she's not giving too much effort on the dance practice so that's a pity

[@메리싸]

@@onnesha Well, makes sense that she wouldn't go all out if she is already tired.And MAMAMOO usually are more chill when making their dance videos.

[@nae_on]

I wish there were more female artists like that. I, myself, am more of a tomboy and Moonbyul is the female kpop idol I look up to the most

[@CaitlynWongSkate]

@@nae_on YES AGREED, im such a tom boy, I look up to her so much lol

[@ElliottNewVillage]

Onnesha Rahman I could see her energy wasn’t as strong compared to the second video. But I felt that expanding on it would be unfair because she was most likely super tired and her shoes were 3x heavier. I was still able to understand the direction and the choreography of her performance!

[@joiejimenez9731]

When you said that it was crazy seeing a kpop female idol move like this, more masculine, i had flashbacks to when Moonbyul said that she prefered being called handsome rather than beautiful because it made her feel unique

[@yeskblanco9103]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but the dude who's filming the performance video is actually Kasper, the choreographer for this piece, which is why you can tell he knows this choreo SO WELL by just looking at how he follows their movement with the camera. I think it definitely added A LOT to have him film this. I do think the shoes made a huge difference and also, I believe she filmed the dance practice video right by the end of promotions, so she was definitely very tired too.

[@ElliottNewVillage]

I love that! lol the choreographer has an idea of how he wants his video to look on film. thats so awesome!

[@cherissetillman8973]

Moon is known for a more masculine choreo. She rather dance like this. The only time you see her do feminine dancing is within her group. She states she'll do any dance except anything with hip movement. But with her solo's she takes a different approach. Moon is one of those rare females that dance unique. You don't see females in the kpop industry take the approach of dancing like Moon

[@nae_on]

I wish there were more kpop idols like her

[@repz9190]

Then comes HIP, lia kim succeed making moonbyul move using her hip. Lmao.

[@aerithofmyore]

@@repz9190 I think she doesn't even realise that she is doing hip movements 😂😂

[@aerithofmyore]

I'm so happy that Moonbyul is doing this concept because it honestly works because she and mamamoo is already well known. When girl groups with this concept debuted back then it was trashed and immediately flopped(remember The Ark? Or the female BTS as people called them back then) I hope more girl groups choreos start to be like this

[@fallonperalta3580]

Semangka03 yes me too

[@Sarv-k]

As a hip-hop dancer myself I don't like it when anything with a little swag,charisma and pop and lock element are called "masculine".I think this is much more seen in kpop where almost all girls have to be cute and girly all the time and it becomes actually boring to be honest. One of my favorite kopo dancers is Taemin and he always mixes both sides and her female backup dancers are just pure talent.BTW moonbyul got a new fan here :)

[@ElliottNewVillage]

I definitely agree with your opinion Sarv. I want to make it clear that I define the culture surrounding this style of movement as "masculine", not the essence of the movement itself. Movement, within Urban dance at least, can never be restricted by gender. Taemin is a perfect example to breaking that dance culture barrier in k-pop! In my own opinion, I don't believe that gg kpop choreography is boring. I understand what you mean, but maybe "boring" isn't the right term you're looking for? I do believe boy group choreography is more aimed to be flashy in comparison to the more alluring girl group choreography. At the end of the day, we need to remind ourselves that dance is a purely subjective art form. Flashy doesn't always mean "better". I know some dancers that prefer the GG choreography over BG choreography, purely based off how it makes them feel. I've taken class and learned flashy choreography and I didn't enjoy it/didn't learn anything. I can also recall taking class with more groovy feminine choreography where I had the time of my life and learned so much about dance.

[@Sarv-k]

@@ElliottNewVillage I agree . It all boils down to our taste and how it make us feel. I personally love to see hard steps which demand great body control and musicality and often physical strength and I find it super theatrical. BTW I don't find all GG choreo boring. A good example is Itzy. Their icy and wanna be choreo is super clean and intricate and sharp and I watched them an unhealthy amount of time :D

[@patyarango9768]

@@ElliottNewVillage react please to lisa from blacpikk, best dance Lisa and Moonbyul are queens of dance

[@nae_on]

SAAAAAMEEEEEEE

[@nae_on]

@@Sarv-k I mean, Itzy yeah. They're choreos have some normal dance moves such as popping movements not like almost 97% of majority of gg dances that consist of self touching and hip shaking, let's be honest.

[@kalaksed]

byul's always been more comfortable with what is considered more 'masculine' dancing (for kpop definitions especially), as well as many other aspects (such as her typically tomboyish or masculine clothing preference) and this type of performance is something she's wanted to do for a while, just been unable to with mamamoo, since they're so vocally focused as a group (wheein of mamamoo is also an amazing dancer, but in a quite different way. she also doesn't get to show off so much with the group, but when she and byul do stuff together or perform like this for solo work... no words to describe how much i love it) in an interview she did, byul explained that she doesn't like terms like 'masculine dance' or 'feminine songs', saying music has no gender and should have no gender (gender neutrality has been a big thing for her almost since the beginning. each member is big on both self-empowerment and female empowerment with somewhat different individual focuses. this is byul's) so she wanted to do something more associated with boy groups. partially because it's the style she herself prefers, partially just to show that yes girls can dance this way too. she actually worked with choreographer kasper (known for doing choreo for the boy group exo) for this and he said he wasn't so certain at first but had nothing but the highest praise for byul and all her backup dancers, both male and female afterwards probably her biggest idols growing up, and some of the biggest influences on her, were the group tvxq. she brings them up pretty frequently, constantly covers their songs/dances in concerts or little videos for fun also, you did pretty well with her name. a lot better than most first-timers for trying. they frequently wind up just calling her 'moonstar' since byul is korean for star, and she calls herself that from time to time. you can hear it in the song, actually, though she bounces between 'moonstar' and 'monster' in it, depending on the persona she's talking about throughout the song

[@dreamcatcherthebestdiscogr1934]

Moonbyul is a big example for kpop and is a great relief for people who are hurt by gender, that is why I love her so much. As Moonbyul there's an androgynous group that I would like to recommend you, is called Fanxyred, they are a group of 4 chinese androgynous girls, that "they look like boys" and they have coreos and everything they give to boygroups, they debuted in kpop in August 2019 but still don't have a comeback💔💔 but they are unique currently for this reason, and they have few fans You can see the dances of T.O.P and Holla at the same time, it's their debut uwu and almost the only songs we have... 😭 hopefully they have more music soon, but they may take you by surprise for being the only one group made by androgynous members. They also clearly suffer in the industry, that is why they seem excellent to me and just as Byul they opens a great door for more artists to be themselves, it would be necessary for this industry and world in general that these idols were successful. It's my dream every day...

[@sirwasaifaldeen9531]

Wheein has cover dances that are fire too she is also a mamamoo member

[@ivoryabner486]

Yes! Her two latest dance covers were so fire :D

[@lizjocano7436]

Moonbyul is influenced by TVXQ boy group, most of her solo covers on stage are songs by that band, even the way she styled herself on stage (the suits). She wanted to this type of genre since she was a trainee, and also she wanted to break the stereotype of music to all genders. The choreographer, Kasper, is a well-known choreographer for boy bands like EXO. That is why lot are saying that it is close to EXO. Her dance style is unique and Moonbyul admitted that it is hard for her "blend" well, and probably that is why they always said that she's stiff in dancing. Byul was trained as a vocalist before the company decided she has to be the rapper of the group. It so good to hear her singing right now. ehehehe Of all of her choreo vids this one is my fave also. :) here another Moonbyul solo Love and Hate : kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5i0eZ6veKZ6bq8

[@shanaweerakoon6609]

I realised that Moonbyul and Hwanwoong are opposites. Byul: second oldest and tallest in group, more masculine style dancing Woong: second youngest and shortest in group, more feminine style dancing

[@bloompawz]

Unge Ting no most of them do what their companies want them to do the few exceptions are groups like mamamoo bts seventeen gidle stray kids txt etc since their companies allow them to write what they want and they have a huge input of what the next concept or music genre they want to do while the others just get music handed to them choreography styling etc and have to follow whatever the company gives them

To this day I'm still confused. What are the usual "marks" of a GG's dance and a BG's dance? What kind of movements are more used by each?

Continuing with this theme, I would suggest reacting to the two recent dance performance videos Wheein (of Mamamoo) just dropped... definitely NOT of the cutesy girl-group vibe! 😄 seriously, in one her male backup dancer is wearing much tighter clothing than she is, which is pretty unusual for female entertainers in general obviously and somehow weirdly satisfying... 😂 So proud of Moonbyul and Wheein for doing exactly what and how they want! Mamamoo in general is more inclusive I feel... I've seen practices where they have male backup dancers perform in heels to more 'feminine' choreo AND on more than one occasion, I've spotted a 'thicker' female backup dancer performing with them on some very important stages... to me diversity is the spice of life and I appreciate them as a group all the more for it.

im gonna be honest. I never knew there was even a "masculine" type of choreography. its just dance.?

[@ASH-tw4jc]

There really isn't, movements themselves aren't feminine or masculine but I think what he means is that certain moves or type of choreos are more associated with male and some more with female dancers. If you look at kpop boygroup dances they're often focused on fast and precise dancing with strong hits whereas girlgroup choreos tend to be more delicate and flowy. That's where the stigmata comes from and that's why it's so great to see people like Moonbyul and Taemin break out of those boundaries

Another unconventional dancer is AleXa, who just debuted last year. In fact, she did a dance cover of Eclipse that simultaneously respected the original choreo and added AleXa's own unique spin. Oh, and actually featured Moonbyul herself. AleXa has three songs out, "Bomb", "Do or Die", and "Kitty Run". The first two form a single story arc and should be watched in order. AleXa also had a predebut cameo role in one of Mamamoo's MV's, "Gogobebe", as a nerdy study group leader (striped shirt and glasses).
