RETIRED DANCER'S REACTION+REVIEW: TWICE "Perfect World" Dance Performance!

WTF DOES “OG KPOP STAN" EVEN MEAN?! Supposedly "original gangster”, can be seen as “old generation", personally viewed as “old-school”.🤓
I became an avid Korean music aka Kpop listener/lover since 1998. Korean and rap music were my coping mechanisms from the bullying I experienced in middle school through high school and my love for the genre has stuck by me ever since.
Unfortunately, I took a huge break from Korean music around 2015 when I was officially diagnosed with lupus nephritis and seizures; I was receiving and battling years of chemotherapy and dialysis along with taking 32 pills a day, so I had no mental/emotional/spiritual room to keep myself updated with the genre. Luckily, I'm in remission now! Doesn't mean that lupus and seizures are gone because I am still very capable of frequent flare-ups of I don't take care of myself, but I make sure to do so enough to manage and live as "normally" as possible.
When I made this KZbin name, I was thinking from my graphic-design-major perspective of a brand that will not only describe what my content will be about but will also align with the times, and y’all know that “Kpop stans” have been a thang for awhile now so hence the cringe-worthy title, OG KPOP STAN. (My love for Eminem is also relevant.😂) ALSO! Just to be SUPER clear- me calling myself an "OG kpop stan" does NOT mean that anyone who's listened to kpop after me is inferior or less-than. A kpop lifestyle is a kpop lifestyle regardless of time. Please don’t get that sh*t twisted.😛 Sooo I am currently and actively keeping a weather eye on the KPOP horizon!

Jihyo's passion and power is really something else. Just so mesmerising.

[@ycel_rds]

JIHYO went on God Mode as always… that’s my bias!

[@gioia297]

@Trinity so happy for that! 😊😊😊

[@evilwelshman]

In terms of how powerful Jihyo was in this performance.... I feel that Jihyo has always had a very, _very_ strong sense of self-confidence in herself and her abilities (with her doubt only in terms of whether _other_ people will give her a fair chance), and it's great to see how several of their recent songs and special stages/projects have allowed her to express said confidence. I've noticed it since that episode on SIXTEEN where the judge had criticised her over her weight and called her fat, at which point Jihyo followed it up by performing "All About That Bass" as her next song.... which was basically a giant middle finger at the judges while still staying classy! 😁😁

[@DMONadz]

Mina and Jihyo literally owned perfect world

[@tiffanyfu5356]

That is JIHYO's style~!! Definitely. She said she LOVE it.

[@fadhelfarras1175]

I think in one of Jihyo's interview, the interviewee asked about how fierce Jihyo in Perfect World, a complete180 degrees change from Alcohol-Free, and she said, the concept demanded her and all member to be fierce and I agree, it's like they're getting drunk even without alcohol just by looking at the guy in Alcohol-Free, but then they escape from the drunk state, and realize that they had enough of all of the guys bull in Perfect World

[@jaidenxyz1501]

Mina and Jihyo are absolutely killing it!! Also thanks for the reaction, stay healthy!

@@shammy7042 I mean she could have gotten the rap parts at the least or the bridge Mina sings. Or at least the center for her parts(which lasts literally for 2 secs), she is in the side for her parts also😭.

FUN FACT: The finger thingy is following the "yeah yeah yeah" in the chorus. Its kinda hard to do because sometimes you dont know if you're doing it fast or slow. and sometimes you'll be off beat.

[@Sivzram]

I'm early but yes TWICE have evolved amazingly when you consider both their MUSICALITY and CHOREOGRAPHY The fact people used to bash them for being kinda repetitive in their early days have totally been broken now I feel there are one of the most versatile Kpop groups out there atm even when you consider CHOREOGRAPHY

[@bkajumpoff]

Jihyo Killed this performance. Like she was trying prove something.

[@twicesaidiamaonce5003]

Twice are Concept Queens they are proving this in their every Twice comeback

[@NanaGuedesI]

Twice usually doesn't release dance practices for their japanese releases. The most we'd get is a dance performance, which really doesn't show the complete formations, but it's as good as it gets.

[@chikijonatv5352]

JIHYO'S POWERRRRR

[@9wice828]

First~🤩 Jeongyeon is not there, wish her rest well & stay healthy 💚 and whole Perfect World album is a bop😭love them so much💛 agree with what Thina says at the end🥺 and I always feel like,TWICE isn't afraid of losing their market stability if they change their concepts every time but they're making music which people need in their life. I'm so lucky that my life is filled with TWICE's music🥺

[@haooo.4]

Actually it's filmed in kura kura era where she can't attend thos performance so that's why she's not here.

I love your comments so much. Yeah, TWICE can do all the concepts. They fit all the concepts, and I don’t know why. 👸🔥

[@_colorlesstt_658]

You're right. I love how subtle they are in exploring other genre but also makes it noticeable for us to feel like "wait, this has a latin vibe to it" or "wait, this has a western vibe to it" and still being the twice that we know or familiar with. Nice insight.

[@mikkellentzvilla7635]

Jihyo is one of the top 3 main dancers of Twice for me. The only problem with her is, she forgets their steps and formation, But the passion in her eyes when she dances is so powerful and that's why she is mt bias.

[@strngenchantedgirl]

Jeongyeon is missing again 😢. I’m really worried about her neck.

07:30 They're so in sync that Tzuyu's hair and Dahyun's hair also flipped straight up in sync in a still shot.

[@L4in1998]

No... there was something different with TWICE. Their cuteness was a big part of their main activity but besides that, they explored different concepts or themes and even their communication broke certain stereotypes. I don't see a cute group who became the biggest Kpop group in the world (until early 2019).

[@H0EFORHYO]

yay glad you reacted to this! the spirit fingers drove me insane as well. all of them were amazing!!! they did a lot of live performances for perfect world, jihyo was mad as hell in all the performances i swear 😭

[@ryuzakikai331]

The way Thina-noona broke down Perfect World and TWICE's transition/ improvement throughout the years was spot on. They are maturing with their music, but it's such a seamless change in a sense that they retain a certain aspect in their music and choreography. And that's called the TWICE aspect. I haven't seen a lot of K groups who execute so beautifully and cleanly, and even have such wonderful choreography from micro to macro levels (yes, small things like those hand movements make a difference people).

[@bonrassenebalan8891]

Tina can you react to the songs in their album? Btw i like your hair

1:57 The "fingers thing" you talked about is that they are in sync in their choreo when they say "yeah yeah yeah yeah" in the chorus.

[@LastKnight0727]

I've noticed that Mina, Sana, and Momo really go off on the Japanese songs. I think it just comes down to them not really having to think about the lyrics since their first language is Japanese. So they're able to focus more on dancing and theatrics rather than constantly remembering to speak/sing in Korean. PS: hope to see a Dreamcatcher - BEcause reaction, no rush take your time and stay healthy

[@ramikkin]

You should check out their individual short dance clips of this especially Momo's. The isolation and sharpness and control is 👌 I believe it's on their tiktok account.

[@countduckula9977]

Hi Thina. Great reaction/review of this dance/performance video. I have to agree with you that Jihyo's confidence has gone interstellar & good for her that it has. Twice have matured from their early cutesy image with much aplomb. This song [& Alcohol Free have a lot of a Latina vibe to them] sounds so familiar [whether they have paid homage to other music hooks I don't know] & I can't put my finger on it. I'd recommend that you [privately [don't do a reaction video as you might get a strike]] look at stage mixes of all the artists i.e. Twice, Aespa, Red Velvet, Blackpink etc., as there are some talented people who edit all the stage performances with wonderful transitions between performances [I only recently discovered these]. Take care & stay safe. 💜
