[@penelope8045]

jeff can u please check out chrOme arts mv by onlyoneof.. 🤭😌

[@joyce3003]

Taeyong killed this dance as usual! I feel like Haechan and Mark also did a great job of capturing the vibe of the song

[@bibinaoima6671]

Yes haechan ate the intro up

[@cielo3202]

I agree w haechan, I hated the song until I saw his focuscam on this choreo, he's way too good

[@kpoppergirl6235]

I was super impressed by Mark and Taeyong in this choreo , they were too good !!

[@eve_ss7780]

MOON TAEIL dance is so detailed and precise here. His groove I loved it! He's so good! So glad that he got lots of center time this time 💚

[@jessaalba7504]

💛

[@_ing]

Choreographer for AY-YO is RIE HATA. She gave a short interview for this choreograph on SMP floor channel too. 💚

[@suiim_jpn]

For me, Taeil KILLED this dance practice. His moves are so detailed and smooth now… damn, he surprised me so so much! He deserves more appreciation by his dance.

[@kpoppergirl6235]

Johnny said that the choreographer made the choreo keeping the member in center in mind , acc to them Mark , it was fast and hard footwork so Mark has all those hard footwork parts

[@rioyamada9679]

Honestly I really feel you what you said about this song. I’ve been loving NCT like 3 years, but 127 is the most hardcore group that they keep providing futuristic, abstruse songs. Sometimes I get shocked what they released and particular stuff. But some how at the end, I really obsess everything that they made. NCT magic 😂

[@bfbf7464]

I just can´t take my eyes off of Taeil in this choreo, for whatever reason. Since 2 Baddies he has such a confidence aura around him. He stood out for me in this choreo aswell

[@exol8013]

Their performance is so satisfying

[@momotachibana3557]

The Choreographer is Reita from Japan.. She is the favorite choreographer of NCT. every movement never miss and very swagy . love that❤

[@dylpickle07]

Rie Hata was the one who choreographed Ay-yo, she also did an interview on the SMP Floor Channel

[@laurenmiller149]

i swear, Rie can do no wrong choreographing for 127. she plays to each of their strengths SO WELL

[@karekare1261]

Two of my favorite things Jeff and NCT 127! Love you both!!!! Keep up all the hard work Jeff❤

[@kierraturpin3363]

Everyone in NCT 127 killed the dance as usual!! Love your channel Jeff! Keep up the good work!

[@cremepuffle]

i seriously think this may be my favorite nct choreo tbh. it's not a cherry bomb or too loud but it's still soooo... Ncity of them lmao

[@ot7biasedmashups]

This choreography makes me loose my mind because first of all I love the mix of unison and individuality. BUT let me talk about Yuta??? He said he doesn't really love the song cuz it's not very neo and interesting (compared to other 127 title tracks) but he's dancing like he LOVES IT WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BODY. Everybody is insane and I really respect Johnny for all this footwork but Yuta is definitely my favorite of this choreography. I'm constantly looking at him.

[@august_shin2618]

"That's 127..127 dose not do normal " it's real.😄

[@marikuneko]

nct 127 always bring some 'quirk' or 'neo'-ness to their choreography, i love it because rewatching never gets boring. they've talked in their live that their individuality was one of the main points about this comeback, hence all their very different outfits in the music video! and they bring that to the dance, too. there's always new things to see. i still go back and rewatch wakey wakey just because i find it so funny/fun and they're all doing different things. loved the ay-yo choreography, glad to see you analyze this and see all the details ^0^!!

[@yelirmae]

haechan killed this .... he so sassy

[@jubel81]

My favorite performance /song from them. Loved the dance !!! I am so in love with Haechan ❤❤

[@notcheri]

True, never saw a good live perf i swear…it’s like details and intricacies of the choreography are sacrificed for the close ups smh 😩 anyway, this reminded me again why those choreographers and trainers said they really liked mark’s dance style on this choreo

[@drenkard]

That entire opening sequence is so strong!

[@Satan_Child]

Jeff’s reaction to Ay-Yo gives me flashbacks of his reaction to Wakey-Wakey😂

[@ChantelStays]

This choreo is lit ! Anyone who is saying is messy doesnt understand intricacy like this. Avant garde totally ! Its perfect chaos because its grabbing multiple beats of this amazing song

[@moza-hr1fq]

29:37 haechan and johnny both did the same move, because they are in back

[@xxxlucy031]

Yuta is tremendous , I'm glad you noticed how good he is. Like most of the time he is dancing at the back plus he's one of the smallest on the team but when you find out, you'll be delighted bcause of him. I swear Yuta, Mark and TY kill it, Haechanie and John too... well from the start they are amazing performers tho!!!

[@electricsocketxx]

I think your analysis just made me appreciate 127 and this comeback even more - thank you Jeff!

[@413xlll]

This choreo is very nct and very 127

[@ClassicallyMish]

The song is about being yourself being okay when among others. They are a group adding different elements while being in sync with the whole.

[@azonnoza]

Honestly though, how does 127 have so many not just good, but GREAT dancers. I mean they have taeyong, mark, haechan, jungwoo, yuta and even jaeyhun. They all are good but the ones I listed are outstanding.

[@justjen7195]

This choreo is so good, and they execute it so well!

[@2baddies127]

4:29 it took me 2.5 days to absorb the song but now my favorite😂😂

[@aubreymaldo6185]

Same thought. When I first heard of A-yo, I had a hard time also remembering the song. I also thought that it reminded me of punch, basing on how I first heard it. Really loved the whole choreography, so 🔥🔥

[@artistblue18]

Actually a short interview with the choreographer, Rie Hata is on the SMP YT channel

[@youbeing4121]

I thought you’re gonna do “DJ” dance practice reaction altogether. It’s my fave of the album. Looking forward to it

[@rhythmrecall]

The moment Ay-Yo came out, I was really looking forward to your reaction video Jeff!! 😊 I love how you dissect. Also, I can’t get over Haechan going low at 01:09, which is different from everyone else… just so cool and smooth

[@aghslm272]

Thankyou! There's DJ song dance practice too!

[@barbie041200]

Jeff, you speak your thoughts so well!!!

[@erilado7780]

Hi jeff, I've watched your "announcement" video. I really enjoyed your reactions, but still I understand and respect your decision. Love and support from PH 💕

[@Lonnloven]

Thank you for another excellent analysis of NCT 127's choreography! I loved learning more about all those details that they've added, and how you point out how the choreography shows their individuality and ads some "organised chaos", while still having a unified look in key sections. I've watched all their stages so far and while they're cool and all, this dance practice is the one I'll keep watching I think, for the same reasons you point out in your analysis: it's the only video so far that truly shows the entire choreography. Even the recently released performance video kept zooming in a bit too much imo.

[@loux6836]

loved johnny and taeil in this honestly

[@clance001]

I GOT THE PUNCH FEELING TOO FROM THE VERY FIRST LISTEN

[@jenadoculara126]

Haechan smooth as ever!

[@bbonbonn561]

Was waiting for your reaction to this dance practice!!! They did not come to play with this comeback.

[@katiejoy4730]

I really enjoy & appreciate your breakdown 🤟

[@jvlixn]

can we walk about Haechan's outfit??!!

[@klsolis]

Yeah the live broadcasts do make you lose a lot of the footwork. Thankfully though they usually post Fancams as well for online. So if you watch a music show they'll have the whole group fancam that shows the whole stage and all the members

[@sheilamacabata4800]

please react to their dj's dance practice too, thank you

[@devikrishna3772]

Thank you for all the yuta appreciation in the video🥰🥰

[@seevennevess5265]
