Tiktok ruined kpop choreography.

[@DiceyBrycie]

Credits to @hsfhanaa for the idea!

[@Nyo_Fight]

There was a mission in Street Woman Fighter 2 that was about doing a choreography for a song, and the best choreography wasn't chosen because the chorus wouldn't be suitable for a ''challenge''.

[@DiceyBrycie]

Ain’t no way bro that’s crazy!

[@havensohn3821]

Wasn't the dancer's reasoning for not choosing the choreography was because they couldn't execute it better than the original so they couldn't steal it?

[@mariasol1545]

yep, it was Chili. Hwasa chose 1Ms dance because it was easier for people in TikTok to dance to

[@Piinkstar01]

Hwasa excuse saying that "itd be hard to perform" was just another way of saying "the dance isnt tiktok enough"

[@polinalapchic1017]

​@@Piinkstar01 no, Hwasa is not really strong dancer, so she chose what she can execute properly, that's all.

[@quantum-fluctuations]

Remember when Chaeyeon had several levels of her choreo’s difficulty. It didn’t change the original choreo during the last chorus, yet people still could replicate her choreo ’cus everyone just chose their preferred level of difficulty. This should become a standard tbh

[@sumysim3245]

Honestly, the "Tiktokification" of K-pop dances isn't always because of Tiktok. Idols are still human, and dancing with such powerful choreography and constantly performing multiple songs WHILE singing is almost impossible, even for one trained in that area. I think ITZY deserves some slack, those girls sing live and if you've seen their older choreography, it's pretty much a struggle to get through one song performance. ITZY has also sustained multiple injuries because of this and had to "Tiktokify" their choreography so that it wouldn't continue to hurt them. I think a bad example of "Tiktokification" in K-pop dances has to be Blackpink's 'Pink Venom,' that dance is so simple that it just exposes the simplicity of the actual production of the song. I think that a good example of a mix of both is IVE's Lovedive, it's simple, just like Pink Venom, but it perfectly encapsulates the essence of the song, while still making it perfect for TikTok and a solid Choreography for performances. I think that groups like ATEEZ and LE SSERAFIM are actually giving us solid K-pop choreography, that goes hard and is great for others to use on the platform, without sacrificing a great performance.

[@flavio.]

honestly ive never been too fond of tiktok dance challenges and i think they have peaked during lockdown 2020 to 2021, so kpop choreos who fixate on becoming a tiktok challenge just come off as rly inauthentic, unoriginal and out of touch with reality to me. i do see some kpop songs trend online from time to time (new jeans being a great example here) but companies effort to jump on any given trend is what makes kpop even more inauthentic to me than it already is. i feel like it wasnt as direct back then, now everything seems very much manufactured. i do love seeing my favorite idols interact but 1. a lot of tiktok dance challenges arent appealing to me and 2. a 15 second video of them not even looking at eachother and smiling and making hand gestures at the end is just overly awkward. ntm the horrific white washing and overly edited videos… they also record them in very ugly places such as staircases or hallways. whenever i come across an idol doing a dance challenge or any sort of trendy tiktok challenge i skip the video. maybe ive just grown out of kpop since i mainly keep up with youtube content and their music releases and i have never been interested in any short form content (specifically reels, TikToks and yt shorts). the only tiktok challenges who have been interesting to me are marks mommae challenge and the boyz sunwoos water challenge.

[@DiceyBrycie]

I totally agree! It used to be fun to see idols who are friends w each other get together and do each other’s dances but now they are all pushed to do it w random ppl and it looks so awkward 😭 Kpop loves to capitalize on everything they possibly can till they milk it dry istg (also I love that you watched and commented on my video even if you are losing some interest in kpop 🫶 I appreciate it a lot!)

[@bingbong6323]

you have to keep in mind you're only talking about the western side of tiktok, where in 2020-2021 the renegade and dance moves peaked. but in south korea and other east asian tiktok's side of things, they never actually stopped doing the dance challenges, especially ones that were mostly just hand choreos.

Newjeans is literally the epitome of "make songs & choreography for the sake of virality". Every song they have is easy sounding.

[@snens8792]

I personally would have said that most NewJeans' choreographies do not fall under the criteria of 'TikTokfication' from this video (i would exclude Super Shy from this statement^^). Sure, a lot of their 'point moves' in the chorus are supposed to go viral, but in terms of levels, fluidity/smoothness, formations switches etc. their hook choreos are clearly different and more difficult to pull off than the examples used in this video.

[@NicoleCinnaroll]

I noticed this shift too especially with groups like Itzy. Their choreo went from people struggling to recreate it, to very easy to mimic moves. I just hope kpop finds a nice balance because virality is essential for kpop and that means easier to mimic choreo. Right now, however, it seems kpop is focusing solely on virality and not individuality which made these groups so enviable from the beginning. With 5th gen, the groups really only focus on being viral and kinda lose that individuality that 3rd and 4th gen have. But we're only at the beginning of 5th gen so hopefully more groups become less like content machines.

[@nnnn-sc2im]

tbh i don’t think the intensity of itzy’s choreo was bc of tiktok during the cheshire the girls talked about how their choreo was affecting their bodies and causing injuries i think during the sneakers-cake era it was just the jyp giving them a break for their bodies

[@Currentlyprocrastinating37]

What I dislike about this trend is that this simplified dance mixed with the “anti-drop” style choruses means that they put all the exciting difficult singing and complicated dances together to keep viewers’ attention so it’s practically impossible for any live singing.

[@busybody5381]

I do agree with your statements, not only the choreography, the chorus' song itself right now is so tiktokfication. Although, I argue because it's KPOP afterall. Ignoring 1st gen (I dont know a lot of them), since 2nd gen even the chorus choreography usually the more simplify than the other part of the song since it was the only part for all of them to breath but yes, nowadays the structure is pretty funny lol. Especially since 4th gen, they usually have more complex choreo and suddenly boom, the super simplify choreo which kinda mind blowing. Not complaining tho, it's still fun to watch the challenge and after all, it's a business and entertainment industries thus they need marketing to be able to profit, it's a strategy. It's just simply globalization and KPOP.

THANK YOU for adding MAMAMOO!! I so appreciate someone seeing Mamamoo as a group who's choreo is amazing too :) When people usually do choreo topics, Mamamoo isn't usually brought up, because their choreo at the beginning wasn't as intricate (but it was still really good), but that was because they always sang live (and still do), and their vocals came first. They started doing more intricate choreo starting with HIP because people were saying Mamamoo couldn't dance. Which they had been doing since they started, so it was just jealousy rearing it's ugly head, but Mamamoo proved them wrong with more intricate choreographies, and still sang live to top it off!

And I know Kpop idols are trained for singing stable and dancing at the same time but sometimes its just hard.

Not all difficult dance choreos involve jumping and running. Red Velvet's be natural and Hyolyn's dally have extremely difficult dance choreos but they don't involve jumping and spinning as seen in Itzy or Nmixx

I don’t think they were “tiktokified”. The dances in back in the day (2nd gen groups, some 3rd gen up to probably 2017ish) were a range of difficulty level, and there were songs that had what some would call simple choreo or even with trendy chorus pieces wtv. Basically, dances have always been like this and they’re pretty much going back to that possibly for the artists’ sake but yes also because of the catchy trendy movements (the “point” dances/moves). They always have been focused on having dances with a good point move (an example like today would be IVE’s Love Dive; but everyone wants their ‘Tell Me’, ‘Gee’, ‘Shake It’, or ‘Sorry Sorry’ moment - and the list goes on). I think that never changed. What I think happened is that K-pop fans, especially new ones who haven’t looked too much into older groups or even ‘nugu’ groups, have gotten too used to the trend of extremely hard choreography (or more active choreography wtv) to the point that any simplifications are just boring and under stimulating to them. There has always been a mix, I just think those fans are starting to realize or see it lol. Meanwhile on the other hand, some people are enjoying the fact that simple choreography is back and they can participate in covers (or TikTok challenges now/again). Anyway, I like both and I’m glad to see the return of it. One is nostalgic being a fan of 2nd gen+ songs and choreo, the others are good workouts lol. Hope they can find a balanced mix and if not big groups, there’s always little ones who might. 🩷

I've never been into K-pop tiktok dances 💁‍♀️ i like the fact that we can get interactions between idols through that, but K-pop is officially losing its meaning. To some extent, those strict rules had kept K-pop together, not that i am saying dating ban and starvation should be done. There were a few rules that had kept it together. Now kpop has become westernised, just as it is becoming more and more relevant we see the original K-pop drifting away. But what's the point of those tiktok interactions when they'll act like complete strangers afterwards anyway? We didnt have this thing in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gen, though we got interactions friendships and many more bonds. On the other hand, locals got a taste of their hate, they had to gulp down the fact that they've been dancing and vibing to kpop, but i also see some ruining the choreos for me. I don't want to see that. Some of these Tiktokers use the same dance moves gain and again and in kpop songs it kind of checks off the vibe for me. I would still prefer to go back to those old times but change is important. Good thing or bad, we somehow saw it coming and if we didn't atleast we know what the futhre might have for us.

I don't think so. Just because a dance goes viral doesn't mean it was made for TikTok. Take for example Hype Boy, one of their most viral dances to date.
