Someone did a test somehow and figured out Itzy is 95% synchronized!

Actually Itzy is 94.42% synchronized just wanna correct and Iz*one is the one with 95% but still great synchronization.

[@joezaster4978]

They said that this is their hardest choreography. Idk if it's technically the hardest but it's for sure the most exhausting

[@lesserafimchangedmylife]

Ya i think they meant most exhausting, its harder bc they’re focusing on the smallest details to get it to look clean, their choreography can easily look messy especially with the hand movements. So they have to have more control and strength which needs more energy. I was really wishing for a hip hop based choreo all around tho :,(

[@joezaster4978]

@@lesserafimchangedmylife if the next comeback is chaeryoung's era it might be a hip hop choreography

[@PotatosApocalypse]

Dancing it solo, for me it’s definitely not the hardest in terms of moves; but their formations and transitions + singing is what makes this choreography their most challenging tbh i end up pretty exhausted after dancing i don’t wanna imagine moving around, singing and being stage present lmao

[@lesserafimchangedmylife]

Tristan Sangangbayan i agree with that v much

[@JeffAvenue]

I think it also plays to their strengths. If the moves in wannabe are really easy for them to do, but hard for most of us, then opinions on the difficulty of the routine would be different. I’d be exhausted in both choreo LOL

[@wallaceavila6560]

yeah, yeji is really stable, that's why she gets a lot of lines, even not being main vocalist. the girl can perfectly handle it and owns her given nickname ''jyp's secret weapon'', hahah

[@mrithika4806]

like you said, it’s very different and surprising for a group to have a dance practice video with their live vocals throughout without any backup vocals. i’d imagine for them to have a lot of practices with their live vocals completely present in case they have to deal with incidents where their in-ears don’t work or so. still, love the transparency!

The stage practice video still has backup vocals tho

Who said you only have to dance in a dance practice? ITZY can’t relate. Edit: Ohhh. It’s a stage practice, not only a dance practice. That makes sense. It’s sooo good to see idols flexing those live vocals.

It's a stage practice so it's not just them practicing the dance but the entire stage, so singing, stage presence etc

[@ralfvillorente9857]

They won't be uploading another video for a dance practice because the stage and dance is just the same. But adding the singing part can prove that they can sing so haters can shut up. It's a good way of proving it.

It's funny that you said that because this is literally their most exhausting song for them. That's why I was especially surprised when they posted this dance practice. Because well the moves itself might not be the hardest ones out if every choreography from them but it's more tiering to perform with their high energy.

[@gayatrisud2855]

You know they said this was their hardest dance choreo until now because they had to be smooth and slow with their movements while also showing a confident side (cus they’re not shy:)) They’re really amazing and talented girls and I hope the world recognises them:))

[@CosmicWin]

There is one reason that girl groups will always be superior to boy groups: As a trained dancer myself, I find that it is EXTREMELY easy to synchronize leg and foot movements. However, arm movements are EXTREMELY difficult to synchronize due to the different muscles you use and what movement you're doing. Boy groups mostly have leg movements so their choreographies I find easier to learn and I've learned a substantial amount of boy group choreos. However, I have such a hard time learning girl group dances.

[@blackpinkbestgroup8060]

thank you!! finally someone said it!! i have seen almost everyone degrading gg choreos saying "ahh, gg choreos are very easy compared to bg choreos" and even for itzy when someone says itzy have one of the best choreos in k-pop there are some people saying "for girl groups, yes but for total k-pop, no" like they don't understand how difficult it is to synchronise hand movements lol. girl groups also make a lot of imageries which look weird if not executed properly.....

[@ateezsnewrapline546]

The fact that Lia said that they didn't know this video will get posted.. Queen indeed

[@mahsahus123]

The reason it isn’t their best is because they took the video for fun and didn’t expect it to be posted because they were not the ones who posted it. And it was also taken before the song debuted and while they just learnt the dance.. :)

[@jemmpark]

Considering it's not in Lia's register she fucking nails it. I love it. They're such a talented group

[@sweatpants235]

It’s funny that you mentioned that they didn’t harmonize at the end because my only criticism of KPOP is that there’s almost never any harmonizing (and I can’t understand why).

[@crftieph]

Honestly, that's why I stan exo, mamamoo, and nct is because they know how to harmonize or blend with each other. I'm not really a fan of just singing together with the same tone or pitch or whatever you call that.

[@nicsrmlt]

Well, we have Red Velvet and they're popular for their great harmonization despite having different vocal colors. Plus, EXO and Mamamoo too.

yeah actualllyy a harmony in the end huhu. but they did so good omg im so amazed

[@jaym1765]

in the ending part of the video you talk about voices, and how having more volume makes it "easier". and actually it's the opposite way, 'cause volume comes with a lot of weight to your voice, unless your placement is sharp as a knife (for example, ariana grande, having a really really light voice but her placement is so flawless that her volume is really high). when you naturally have a heavy voice, it comes with more volume, but you also consume a lot of air. that's why this girl always sounds (at least for me) a liiittle bit out of breath on every live performance. it's definitely not a bad thing, just things that come with your voice weight. usually having a lighter voice makes it easier to control the volume by adjusting your placement. with heavy voices it's harder to do that, 'cause instead of trying to lift something up, you're actually trying to control your voice a lot more, so you don't run out of breath on the first 30 secs of the song. (i don't mean to educate anybody, i'm only trying to bring up my experience in this since i have a really heavy voice)

[@toaster19_32]

its remarkable and i love that they did it but its not a first, here have this obscure reference from days of kpop past: the group 100% of top media released along with their first mv and single Bad Boy a dance practice with live vocals, very impactful at the time, became a bit of a thing they kept doing

[@jaeminlover3000]

from what I’ve seen, they’re dance practice rooms aren’t that wide or deep, especially since a lot of them have been renovated/redone. the biggest practice room I’ve seen is one of the old SM ones (you can see it in exo’s growl dance practice)

[@nuukunn307]

Oh the good old days i miss the clouds 😔

[@Rohit-gz8nk]

Even if they are wide and big it doesn't matter, the sound will not echo because the walls are damped (they use special acoustic material on the walls and ceilings) The same way big auditoriums are so the voice doesn't echo or lose sound energy before it reaches their ears. You can search echo reduction on internet if u want.

[@brycejenielallera3983]

I (personally) think that "resonance" you pointed out to Yuna is her commendable sense of "space". I think it's a bit difficult to understand but, some vocalists can somehow "naturally" control their voices depending on which "space" they are in. In this case, all of them (especially Yuna) has that great sense of controlling their volumes or voices.

Yes when the girls were picking the hardest part of this choreo, ryujin said it was more so the whole dance because of the dynamics that u pointed out, they had to really keep in mind the parts that were strong, medium sharp and dainty ones and they were throughout the whole dance. I really love when two or more people who have never even been in the same room pick up or talk about the same things because it lets me know that everyone knows what they’re talking about.
