The thing about Move is that it's just absolutely perfect for Taemin specifically. He's already a fantastic dancer/performer and that choreography is the absolute best at showing off his skills. And it's become so iconic that *so many* others have covered this song, but *no one* can quite nail the subtle movements like Taemin does.

[@tayy558]

a lot of these moves are very difficult to do without looking stupid because it's very easy to do too much and they can feel very awkward due to the simplicity like trying to dance to move I end up looking so dumb cus it's so slow and precise and I have too much energy to focus enough so even though they are minimalistic it does not mean that these moves are easier than some more intense ones (but everyone has different skills so congrats if you're able to look good while doing moves like these)

Y'all this is called Texturing!! It's really a thing in dance where you pair a really sharp move with something smooth or flowy. As seen in the video, it gives some kind of groovy vibe and that's why subtle moves work really well most of the time.

It's the thing about SM. The choreographies, the music is so sharply customized for that one idol or group. So, no one can recreate it with the same grace again. The original always stands a par. Though how much I hate SM as a management company, I love it's artists a 100 times more than that. They are just freaking talented with their own charm that is completely unbeatable. If one does that, no one else can make us forget the original. That's how impactful the songs, the choreographies, the performances, the singing, the stages and the idols are of SM.

Lucifer was the new standard. It BROKE the formula. That being said Jonghyun and Onew had a lot of trouble hitting their notes it was a taxing choreography and sadly with this new standard comes 90% lip syncing from most groups unless they have top vocal training (most companies don’t put enough training into breath control and stability) but SM has the best in that regard but the younger groups still rely on backing tracks

Giving praise to the art and the artists with their legacy to the field and ofcourse own personal preferences is just a tiny bit of it.

I find it fascinating that you mentioned that Move isn't afraid to explore masculinity and femininity both in it's choreography and styling. The actual choreographer, Kohaku Sugawara, embodies androgyny and it gets a lot of people's attention as well because she's both feminine and masculine in a harmonious and subtly mesmerizing way. She and Taemin performed together on a stage a couple years ago and I always thought they were such great dancers; there's a lot of musicality in their bones. I'm happy they worked again in Move.

[@wackymacky6507]

The reason why Move works so well is because literally no one can do it like Taemin. I've seen so many seriously talented idols try to dance move (Jisung, Haechan, Sunmi, Key, Taeyang, Momo just to name a few), and while they all do it well, they don't capture the same magic that Taemin does when he performs it. It's like Move is the glass slipper and Taemin is Cinderella. literally ONLY he fits perfectly.

OMG love people talking abt this!! lmao the edditing 7:54 🤣🤣 Here's the secret reason to why this works so well and gives you the UGH/ stank face. Many people have said it before and so will I: CONTRAST CREATES FOCUS!! Most of the highly effective subtle movements happen before or after very sharp, quick movements, and then when there's a change to something more slow and sentual, our eyes are drawn to it. In cases where the music might not allow for quick shapness to create the focus (smt slow), it is shown through the execution and isolation of a certain body part. Example: MOVE. The UGH part is the swaying of the hips (isolation), and the stare that seeks to tear your clothes off!! (intensity/intent). Anyone can dance MOVE without looking stupid, as long as they have the right intensity/intent and body control. In general, it boils down to the actual music and if there are moments where the choreographer can insert a groove that will add a new flavour to create that subtlety and focus. Love all these examples got so many chills!!!!! please more vids like this 🙏🙏🙏

[@rosetyong]

Periodt👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@julianadeoliveiramaia1078]

to me what feels the most absurd about MOVE is that taemin doesn't even spread his legs the same width the backup dancers do, they're like really close and it makes the movement ever harder because of stability and he's just THAT GOOD

[@henaakhter9111]

SM is known to have amazing dancers, that young boy from NCT dream jisung is one of them definitely, Kai, Taemin, Seulgi, Irene etc have INSANE amount of body control. I love that you understand the nuances of thisss

[@riri3531]

I think another instance of small move that became iconic is 24 hours by Sunmi, hell Gashina also has a small move becoming iconic as hell I thought nk f(x)'s 4walls has super pretty small move with the arms One of my favorite moves ever will forever be the penguin dance from BEAST's Fiction but idk if it fits into your small move idea (but they look like they' ré walking while not moving gaidbzodkvzid)

[@jakoftrades2886]

When you called out Lucas’s stank face! 😍😍😍😅😅😅 It is one of my favorite choreography moments in all of Kpop and his swagger just makes that move soooooo friggin cool!!!

[@CosmicWin]

Fun fact: Move is the hardest choreography in all of KPop. People might think that the slight movements are easy but you have to have full control over your body to be able to do it like him. Which is why only TWICE's Momo and Mina can come close to it, due to their extensive control over their bodies. Another person who also came close to it was EVERGLOW's Mia. When she danced Move, she displayed almost complete control over her limbs, upper, and lower body.

[@miefuzo3771]

I agree with Momo..but not Mina. Momo might be the only one who did justice to the move so far in whole kpop after Taemin. Believe me when I say I love Mina's dancing and vibes when she dances but the rest three, chae , Dahyun And Mina were quite awkward in the dance steps..Mina was def better than Two. Momo's move is my fav fav fav move Cover ever

[@CosmicWin]

@@miefuzo3771 Mina has all the control necessary but due to her aesthetic and overall personality, the sexiness required to pull this off isn't there. A member who could definitely take her place in this would be Sana since she also has full control of her body and she pulls off the sexy concepts better than any other member. Another member who could would definitely be Jihyo since she sells sexy really well and she has a lot of control. Nayeon could but only if she could control her body.

[@miefuzo3771]

@@CosmicWin noone in Twice except for Momo could pull of move..let's not kid..it's not just about control, the fluidity, the technicality is top notch ....MOVE is a blend of feminity and masculinity both..while Sana is a good performer, her dance lacks that masculinity and the technicality, Jihyo would give the vibe but she wouldnt do as good in the technicality part. Move is a really unique dance, it's very very hard to pull off and I know all about Twice dance levels. Had been following them since debut. All of twice are good dancers esp. good idol dancers but only Momo is a dancer dancer and Move requires THAT.

[@miefuzo3771]

@@CosmicWin watch the dance properly and it's not just about vibe, even the steps execution , only Momo could do that.

Best attempts at Move ok: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX-0kJaKhZmqpKs you can all thank me later xD (In case it wasn't clear, that's a joke..) On a more serious note. I think Ravi can pull off Move quite well. ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/il7Yg6OAqql4ack ) And for some reason I feel confident Kai could too though I haven't seen videos of him dancing to Move yet.

[@larissamarzurkiewiczcampos8749]

As a dancer, this is what I ALWAYS talk about. These little moments in the choreography are what keep the tension, add a little spice and are like a breath of fresh air to the dance. It makes everything so much more interesting then when the dance has a lot going on all the time.

[@matthewbonsignore1400]

RECOMMENDED MOVES FOR PART TWO (bc this video was amazing): Seventeen Fear (feet move after chorus), Seventeen Ready to Love (idrk how to describe it Woozi is center at the end of the first chorus and his feet move from side to side with his back facing the front), Seventeen Don't Wanna Cry (the beginning sway Vernon center), Seventeen Lilili Abbay (the slow head movement on the pop sound in the chorus, HOSHI Spider (when he moves his knees with his hand in the first chorus), EXO love shot (main choreo hip movement), SF9 Tear Drop (the first hip movement in the chorus), GHOST9 Control (chorus "so beautiful" foot movement part), CIX Movie Star (chorus main choreo), Golden Child WANNABE (chorus foot movement/main choreo), ATEEZ Deja Vu (Yunhos hip movement in the "da da dada" part of the chorus), ENHYPEN Drunk-Dazed (when Sunoo crosses his hands back and forth infront of his face in the chorus), TXT Frost (the middle of the song where Taehyun is cetner and they move there bodies slowly to the right), THE BOYZ The Stealer (the shoulder movement ripple at the beginning and the whole intro in general), GOT7 LAST PIECE (Jinyoung finger movement right before the chorus), Jus2 FOCUS ON ME (the whole chorus part has a lot of iconic subtle moves), Stray Kids Scars (when they reach to the sky at the end of the chorus), ONEUS BLACK MIRROR (the whole first part of the chorus), AB6IX CLOSE (the first move of the chorus), AB6IX (Daehwi) ROSE, SCENT, KISS, (the first move of the chorus), JUST B DAMAGE (the hip sway while touching the ground), BDC SHOOT THE MOON (the foot tap move at the beginning of the chorus), OnlyOneOf libidO (pretty much the whole ground part in the chorus), CHUNG HA Bicycle (the I ride it i ride it part), KIM WOO SEOK Red Moon (when he covers his face with the coat and when he runs his fingers down his body in the chorus), SHINee Don't Call Me (idk if this counts but the leg movement to "don't call me" in the lyrics), (G)I-DLE Oh my god (the first chorus beginning where they move their hands away from their faces), MONSTA X GAMBLER (this one doesn't really apply but it the chorus has so much subtlety I just couldn't exclude) . Sorry this is such a long list consisting of mostly boy groups and I know it might be a lot to go through, but please at least give some of these a look because they're generally good songs. Also side note: I wasted about an hour of my life making this list 🤡.

[@anjibarrett-chalk9419]

Taemin IS the best dancer in Kpop. It's an undisbuted FACT. Yes, there's many amazing dancers, but Taemin is something else entirely. Move and Goodbye were some of the most revolutionary dances in Kpop in terms of showing how less is sometimes SO MUCH more. I've been following Kpop for 10 years, and he is completely unparalleled.

[@wow400]

The Eve is a b-side but it’s such a bop, it’s probably the most watched dance practice video after how you like that

[@ohraiaj]

It's because of the dynamics. Harder hitting parts are being highlighted by throwing in a more subtle move. On the other side, the subtle ones has more emphasis and control, which draws you in. IN SHORT THE POWER OF DYNAMICS!!!!!

[@jaureguihansen5798]

The immediate thing I thought of was the little lean back in the chorus of First by Everglow. The badass, “look at me” vibe it gives off always gives me goosebumps because you’re not expecting them to slow down there. It’s like they know they’re number 1 and they’re rubbing it in your face. Yiren’s expression is killer.

[@petiterose9766]

I thought about First by Everglow too ! But to me it was a move they do during the dance break that I really don't know how to describe... I love the way Onda does it
