Professional Dancer Reacts To BTS "DNA" [Rehearsal Video]

[@lunacraftcrochet]

In an interview BTS had mentioned that when they were debuting, their CEO, Bang Shi Hyuk, actually watched their dance practice videos and uses the space bar to pause every second to see their every movement, even the angles of their heads and where their eyes are... And it makes so much sense. BTS were hella sync, tight, and intense when they did choreography at the beginning.

[@ewilan24]

Bang pd is a sweet boss lol

[@angiesplaylist23]

I remember they said jhope learned this whole choreo in 45min 😱 that's crazy

[@ot7biasedmashups]

He's straight up insane and then always dances while smiling. Wow.

[@xiomaracian9149]

Fuckkk faster than light. I may take atleast 3 years

[@azriieen]

I might take one week just to learn a bit of the move

[@Belbecat]

"Jimin added extra shoulder" honestly aint anything more Jimin could be said about Jimin lol~~

[@ashdf1872]

And if you ask jimin, he would say that was an accident, like everythime he does something with his shoulders lol

[@taeomgyu7841]

*It’s actually hard to smile while dancing. But Dance God J-hope can do anything.*

[@itsMeeeeeh]

He is just a ball of sunshine. Love Hobi!💜

[@ot7biasedmashups]

No bc he always does it. It's insane to me

[@lightefilit]

I'm sure you already know but Jimin studied contemporary, so that's why you would always notice his extended and very clear lines. That's also the reason he prefers wearing fitted clothes, so his silhouette would be more defined. And since he was also a popper (generally studied many genres), his moves are also always sharp and powerful in addition. His dance is just *beautiful* 🤌 You were also correct about "freestyle" part. There are certain parts in most of their choreo where they can choose to move as they wish, a certain freestyled anything. But in general Jimin always adds some sprinkles of his own style in any choreography. J-Hope does that too sometimes. And yes, Hobi ALWAYS smiles and always has great energy for any performance :) Although, our main dancers (Jimin and J-Hope) were amazing as always, Jungkookie is the one who I find absolutely slaying this choreo.

[@Agane_D.]

I would like to point out, that they don't do a perfect pyramid blocking, because Suga and Jimin are noticably shorter than the rest. so they have to stand on a spot where they will look as if they are the same height with the others through the camera. Specially beside RM and Jin. I've noticed it a lot when they perform live and the camera shoots from above. you'll understand what I mean if you watch their dances with missing member. Like RM and Suga missing due to surgery or Jimin and JK missing due to an injury. I maybe wrong, but I did cheer dancing back in college so I have a little idea about blockings 😆

[@TheClari25]

That's really interesting and not something that I noticed. I love reading the comments from these videos there is always a lot of interesting info and analysises.

[@mono-mq2ph]

Yeah jhope is always smiling while preforming that's why he always catches my attention 😂

[@yourbibillyhills]

their moves are so sharp because their dance teacher/performance director is Son SungDeuk, he's popular/most known with sharp choreography

[@e.1067]

God anytime i watch dna's choreo, i'm always fascinated with j-hope. It just fits him so well: a fun beat, heavy footwork, level changes....he's just so smiley and enjoys the song and i just can't take my eyes off of him

[@kswwsk]

The choreo from the part where they are in line at the end (the la la las) the dancer in the centre with the visor, j-hope (main dancer and dance captain), learnt all that choreo in 10-30 minutes (it varies depending on which member is telling the story), the others had taken 4 hours to learn it and when j-hope learnt it later (he wasn't available for the initial session where the others learnt it) they couldn't believe how quickly he learnt it.

[@ebony7177]

I said it on the patreon, it's partly camera angle and Jin's movement. Jin was in the hole mirroring V and the others stood up and made a slight turn which made it look strange.

[@itsMeeeeeh]

Jimin’s moves are always big and extended. I would attribute that to his contemporary dance background. Taehyung’s style and execution on the other hand are more controlled and sharp. JHope’s is very hip hop, precise but loose. There’s so much fluidity in his movements which I like as well. These four are part of the dance line and they each have their own unique style.

[@salmahersi4232]

I think you forgot JK 😝 But in terms of jimin’s dancing - do you mean his moves are extended? I’m a dancer and his dancing seems the least exaggerated. Jhope’s dancing is a lot more wide and exaggerated, however. Jimin’s focus is more on micromovements - which is difficult to notice if you aren’t a dancer. He’s probably the sharpest dancer because of this

[@Erika-bn8mf]

I'm only counting 3 here.....

[@himaririku5289]

@@salmahersi4232 that's a very good way of putting it together

[@angiesplaylist23]

@@salmahersi4232 I would say jhope and jk are more sharp. Jhope is precise and technical. Jk is powerful and clean. Jimin is fluid. Jimin usually exaggerates (you're right, jhope does full extentions) moves mostly his upper body so I see why he said he always gets in trouble for being half a beat off as jhope has said many times. Just all different styles of dancing

[@anumakber5275]

Inserted non dancer while forgetting about Jungkook?

[@AsHope-wy5nr]

J-Hope's smile is irresistible J-Hope is able to control every muscle in his body he can dance like a robot This is why his movements are sober

[@ot7biasedmashups]

"imagine the people who own this studio" They literally own it😂😂

[@sandymiramontes7569]

The boy who is smiling is the same one that has done it the other times, his name is J-Hope and he loves perform, was born to perform

[@lightefilit]

He knows them 😅

[@breegm3995]

13:55 Yep... That's our Hobi over there. Smiling all along 💜

[@godsofhiphop]

The off-center part they do on purpose in most/all because their choreos really tell a story. The focus is not always on the center, but the focus is always on the member that is singing/telling that part of the story Edit: Because they sing live, they do try to make that singer the most stable

[@padmavj]

Jimin was trained in Contemporary as well so he naturally has his posture and perfect dance lines in place that's why you noticed his posture (chest open) at start.

[@wizardofrozplays1933]

.... 'BAM, look at me '.... I don’t know why I found this so funny... but that’s Jimin to a tea~ 😁💜 6:50 Edit for time stamp.

[@saranglin884]

The part where they are linking hands with the wave movement. I heard it was suppose to be a replica of the Double Helix, which would be DNA... hehehe.... Love your analysis and reactions! Thank you!💜💜🤗🤗🥰🥰

[@ChristinaQiu3]

I really love your attention to detail and your expert eye!! You put a lot of effort in your analysis, and I just wanted to say that the viewers notice and appreciate you for that :) you deserve so many more views! love from ARMY

[@AngelaSealana]

j-hope earned the nickname Smile Hoya as a street dancer

[@mimilapin]

Thanks for doing this one!! Really one of my all time fav routines. Smiling guy/red hair guy is j-hope, Dance Leader of the group and one of the two Main Dancers with Jimin. 🤗💜 Hope you're doing ok!!!

[@Diki_lhamo]

IT'S BECAUSE OF OUR J-HOPE THE DANCE LEADER OF BTS :) WE PURPLE YOU BTS

[@lyrify8394]

Can we just appreciate how hard everyone is going like they don't care where they are performing, you can clearly see the passion, determination, charisma and executions in their dance moves, the way they do their dance moves let everybody stand up and move their legs a little bit that's how you demand a dance.

[@deniseannlange4519]

Most miss that that joined "arm" move was them doing the DOUBLE HELIX (DNA). The " shaky " camera part will make sense when you watch the official MV.

[@saintsataniko2116]

Fantastic analysis. I know a lot about music and very little about dance technique, other than to a laymen's eyes these guys have always looks incredible. But it was very cool hearing you break down different elements and noting how strong they come of dancing against that stark white background. Stanley Kubrick would have been pleased.

[@maddieleigh4990]

I don’t think you’ve ever reacted to Dreamcatcher and I really think you should ! They are so amazing in synchronization with their choreos !

[@changnick2028]

If you want to know rm and jin earlier are not dancer but they learn alot and really improve a lot from know really proud of them.

[@blackhop4788]

I came to believe you when you found Hobi smiling and liked him. He is very professional.

[@chrispenjose6156]

Off topic. Can we request for you to do one of their routines? Would love to see it! What you reckon ARMY?

[@janethmccartney1062]

HoSeok the jean vest guy only took him 10 minutes to learn the choreography. Our choreographer Jung HoSeok, J-Hope specialist in popping, tutting, street dance, etc. Thank you for noticing his presence in various videos of them, even if you don't know who he is, good acute sense to see his movements. Thanks.

[@margplsr3120]

You will be suprised tons of times if you start to listen BTS :-) Try their songs: House of Cards, Mic Drop, Spring Day, Black Swan, Fake love, Mikrokosmos, Lie, Daechwita, DNA, IDol, Seul, Do You, Truth Untold, 4 oclock, Stigma, Singularity, Make it Right, Epiphany, EGO, etc etc etc ! I PROMISE IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND :-)))) Greetings from Tricity in Poland (Europe)

[@wildatano1964]

Well Jimin always do an extra in execution the steps

[@shujinko2944]

J-Hope is - with a big gap - the best dancer in BTS. You should watch his locking and popping dances.

[@aaravos3636]

And this guy doesn't even know his name😒

[@anumakber5275]

When did he even say that? I like jimin and jungkook lines better

[@shavezaliali11]

Look at the comments I just hate this fandom for not praising jungkook dancing skills enough 😢 Imran jungkook is so sharp & energetic in each performance of bts along with jm and hope but his dancing skills are still under appreciated

[@catbravo994]

So glad you reacted to DNA. I think people sleep on this song because they think the choreo isn't much to look at. It really is amazing because they go so amazingly fast.

[@elise9355]

Trust me when it comes to lines fitted pants doesn't have to do with jimin. He has the most beautiful lines in kpop, it's known for them.

[@wizardofrozplays1933]

This made me appreciate this choreography all over again. Really love your breakdown analysis 💜

[@saimsss225]

Bro that "look at me I know you want to" part killed me 😭 8:50

[@sungjinwoo4lyf42]

DAMNN I WAS WAITING FOR THISSS!!!!

[@PersonWithStupid37]

RIIIIIGHT?! His schedule is so frustrating to wait for 😩

[@chairmanjinssecretary3342]

3 members, Jin (acting, theatre major) . RM Suga (underground) have never danced prior to bighit picking them up as trainers. Bighit (Bang Hisyuk , CEO) had a hiphop group originally in mind, before deciding to debut as an idol group instead

[@anumakber5275]

When it's footwork heavy you know Jungkook is gonna slay

[@catherinemadeinbrasil05]

Wow I don’t know how I found that, I don’t need that, but I LOOOOVED that! Thank you!!! So professional and enthusiastic 🤩🤩 I’m definitely going to subscribe (after only one video! Crazy!) and search more of your previous ones 😆

[@zebaansarkhan]

You would be actually shocked if you see V fancams ! cuz that guy is known as idol of idols and ofc the king of stage presence cuz almost all the kpop idols watch his fancam to learn facial expressions while dancing. And he has the most viewed and liked fancam in kpop.

[@--StephaniVanessaSilaen]

pleasee reactt to spring day bts rehearsaal video and mama live perform

[@racheljerusha]

Chris Martin (Mari Madrid's brother) choreographed DNA.

[@pangieluv]

In one part of the coreography you commented that once you learn the movements it was not so hard ( though it was fast) ... however... you only mentioned the movements of the lower part of the body! :3 I kinda was waiting you to cover that too... cause I believe that adds quite an amount of difficulty... Plus they sing AND dance :3 But I do like the way you are analysing the practice dance!

[@knsrulz]

So sad that they are taking a break, but it's understandable.

[@SassiC00l]

Could you please react to BTS - IDOL or/and Blood Sweat & Tears :)

[@sunshinesam6399]

I’m late to this, but he already did both of those in case you didn’t know yet

[@xiomaracian9149]

I love the fact that he reacted so well like he knows what he is saying. Most of the people reaction is like non critical that try not to criticize but he is actually teaching what is needed and also appreciating their skills

[@libedjmjjkkth5230]

You act like bang pd when he was checking the boys choreography and synchronization.. from head to toe to even their eye contact needs to be precise and in sync. Thats what he did to them. Pause and go😁🤣

[@EmeroyB]

"Why so farrrr????" 1. Because there are already videos scheduled. I post K-Pop reaction videos on Monday and Wednesday only. This gives me an opportunity to share the other content i'm passionate about for this channel. 2. Releasing content like this allows me to keep the channel consistent and focus on other projects other than trying to keep a daily youtube schedule since I run two businesses. It's all a part of my quarterly releases. Which you can see here: airtable.com/shrkUSn8a34srUFLh. (Patrons get access to the master lists, and early releases) 3. Traditional studios and movies promote their content months in advance prior to the premiere to help build anticipation. The public already knows the date of when these movies are coming out. I know I'm no big-time studio, but why can't I take a similar approach to my content? Want early access to content? Become a patron! patreon.com/emeroyb

[@lc237]

I think their choreography is brilliant.

[@stanjkstantalent9233]

Jeon jungkook the bestest dancer bcz he executes the group choreos perfectly and he is so sharp,on point and his moves are so smooth and effortless 👏👏 he makes everything looks so easy 😍

[@deliaconny]

erm, did you really mean to set this premiere for next month?

[@EmeroyB]

yes. read the pinned comment

[@deliaconny]

@@EmeroyB you know I'm going to be here to watch it, no matter when it goes live 😁... just found it a bit curious since other premiers are usually in a couple of days 🤷

[@EmeroyB]

i appreciate you.

[@deliaconny]

@@EmeroyB and as promised, here I am again 😉 thanks for the detailed insights from the rehearsal analysis! I used to perform in a team for competitions so some things you mentioned felt very relatable (but we were only amateurs)

[@viviancanete3705]

Can you react to sean lew and kaycee rice dance compilation 2018? Idk if you know them but they are one of the best dancers in the world They’re so good and their chemistry is insane

"Yeah look at me, I know you want to"

Hobi y Jk son excelentes en sus presentaciones Fuera energía pura 🎭🎭🎭🤎❤️💜♥️🧡💛💙💖💚

[@katherineann8463]

25:45 Red, black, and white! BTS often uses all white or all black outfits. (When they aren't using rainbow pastels, neon brights, colors coordinated with evergreen, denim blues, or earth tones, lol! They've done so many mvs and performances, it's impossible to generalize.) I also spy Jungkook wearing blue here, which reminds me of the flag of South Korea: red and cobalt blue yin/yang surrounded by 4 black line symbols, in the middle of a white background.

[@nihaldagi]

yess I love the white background too!! I ,sometimes, even like their practices more than their shows cuz black stage, all the lights and stuff sometimes shadow their stunning choreography and sync

[@user-gy7mv1qf8]

Jimin was the last to join the group , he had almost a year before has debut the BTS group Jimin studied ballet graduated from the Academy of Arts, dances popping, is the King of dance in Korea, his dance is is insanely Beautiful.

[@mariesamantha540]

idk why... but whenever im watching BTS dance like theyre so in sync , like they 1 body in dancing haha idk its just me or ???? idk hahahaha

[@EmeroyB]

they're pretty clean. idk if you're a dancer or not, but things look different within eyes of experience. i've been dancing for a long time so i see small details. when i worked in animation i saw small mistakes in Pixar films. even when i watch film now, I notice small things in regards to shot composition, lighting, etc. that a regular person wouldn't see.

[@dinidig]

I always gag over the BTS no more dream dance. If you are interesses

[@deiparineladyaisiahb.9866]

I really love that you go into the details of the choreography and not just vague reactions to everything

[@okhappiness4773]

I think the part you mentioned at 15:20 was supposed to be centered on Jimin but Jin moves out and it makes it seem like the center was between Jimin and V

[@imscenery]

If you think that this video is vibrant, then you will probably think that the MV for "Idol" is a full-on acid trip.

[@marieesposito9145]

When they joined hands it represents the double helex dna chain.

[@rhiannablondell556]

"let's go red, black and white. That's my colours right there" ok so I do know how many countries have only these three colors but trinidad has this and I'm guessing rn

He: being shoked because of the colors and effects in dna mv. Me: oh you should watch Idol-

When they locked arms they formed a tiny DNA strand

Another fantastic video, you always catch so many little things I miss, really shows your experience. My favourite choreography by BTS is definitely ‘Fake Love’, so many different things going on, lots of quick sharp movements, it’s really phenomenal to watch.
