some of the members said this is their hardest choreography they have ever done and actually i can see why. it does not look that hard when you first look at it but most of the moves are really hard to pull of that are definitely made for only nct 127. when the other idols cover this, youll get what i mean.

When I saw that the dance practice version was realeased, I legit thought to myself "well this looks like I can expect to see Jeff make a reaction soon!"😂 love your videos so much and love how much nct content you make because they're the only boy groups I follow right now and you have very insightful thoughts! (Might change, we'll see😂) Sorry for my English, Japanese is my first language😅😅

[@targetbleach8689]

@JUSTINE MCINTOSH I mean I have moved from Japan to US when I was around 10 and lived here for couple years , but my grammar still sucks and I commented on another nct video recently and got an insane amount of replies complaining about my grammar when all I wanted to do was compliment nct😅 I guess I'm a little insecure now that it happened, I though NCTzens are used to a global fanbase since the group itself is global but oh well. Sorry for like ranting but I feel better about my English now, thank you💚

A small story: I was wearing headphones the first time I listened to punch. When Taeyong's whisper rap came on. *I was so shocked I tried to move away from the screen and ended up pulling my laptop off the table.* Least to say that man is terrifying in the best way possible.😳 I like everything about punch by the way... *Except for the black outfits.* I was so afraid someone was going to whack a chain in somebody's face while dancing. Also, has SM just decided to never give Taeyong a shirt again? What is this?!!!

[@benjaminearles5658]

Just so you know, the dance break choreo for Punch was changed by Taeyong and Yuta after the music video was released, which might be why some of the highlights weren't visible in the music video

[@JeffAvenue]

Ohhh this would makes sense cause it looks a lot better on the dance practice

[@hamidah8258]

Most of the kpop group first part of the choreography more to save their energy for their live vocal sake. Imagine dancing while you have to sing it live.

Taeyong really has those facial expression and his own crazy style so he stands out more. But to be honest nowadays i can't get over Haechan and Jaehyun too! They both are rockin and becoming better. No one's bad in NCT even the vocal line is also wildddd and that's maddening

[@gxkjm]

regarding taeil's centre part move... i feel like it's important to point out that compared to other members he's just really small hfbdjd that's why moves like this one might not look as big when he does them. you can also notice how more difficult for him it is to move around during choreography he basically has to fly from one spot to another

Loved your video! Thank you for your honest opinions as well ❤️❤️

[@MelissaHiatt]

After watching so many of their dance practices I can recognize some of their individual styles without seeing their faces. From my observation... Taeyong: expressive, precise movements, tends to "drunkenly" fall into the next step, dances with every part of his body - including his head. Mark: swaggy, crazy legs, heavy hip-hop influence. Haechan: Mr. Smooth, Michael Jackson. Yuta: quick, clean, concise, efficient, keeps movements closer to the body. Johnny: you'd think his long limbs would make him look lanky on stage but he's found a way to look cohesive with the group. Exudes "Swaggy, sexy dude." Jaehyun: cool guy, confident, nice extensions with attention to small details like fingers and wrist movements. Doyoung: Body rolls. Jungwoo: underrated dancer - he's really good. He's graceful but can make sharp movements on a dime, has great angles. Taeil: It's too bad that we don't see too much of his dancing. He's a good dancer though I think he he's holding back a bit. Maybe more center time will pull him out of his shell :).
