@jeff Avenue, would you please react to Nmixx and XG members personal videos presentations please
most of the moves in this choreo was derived from frankenstein, especially the opening formation wherein lee know kinda represented like how he was revived and that move from jeongin as well where its like zombie move like what jeff said HAHAHHAHA
just a little fun fact about Frankenstein is that the author of the book actually lived in a part of my school building!
@@mildew127 omg. I don't know if I say: thats amazing and I really want to go and see this place, or, omg, GHOSTS.
the amount of appreciation for Lee Know just feels so great. he is actually a person road o pro-dancer. he studied in dance studios and compete with several competitions, and was grouped with SM entertainment's choreographers like Bada Lee and etc. HE DESERVES LL THE HYPE, SO THANK YOU FOORAPPRECIATING HIM. IT'S REALLY HIS ERA.
Bada lee?
YESSSSS
@@samrosales4282 wdym
I've been stuck with Lee Know fancams 😩 his defined movements, his smart use of energy and his thighs. Yes.
Stuck? You mean blessed. :)
@@misspriss2482 omg yes, my bad uwu
Yes. thighs. Wkwkw
Omg fax 😭
i know those thighs anywhere
There are several thing I appreciate about this dance (beyond the obvious...hello, Lee Know's, Han's, and Binnie's hip thrusts in the performance stages...).
I.N just f*cking goes for it. He knows he's not the top dancer, and he's sometimes seemed a little hesitant or reserved, but in this dance he always just goes hard. And it ends up looking really good, partially because he's matching the others' energy and partially because it suits the manic nature of the choreo. He's also genuinely improved his dancing skills. As has Seungmin, for that matter.
Conversely, Hyunjin has sometimes had the opposite issue -- his high skill level making him stand out when he's not meant to. Blending is a drastically underrated skill. And as of this comeback, an improvement I've noticed with him is that he's paying more attention to...not drawing attention when it's not his moment. He's now doing better at matching with the rest of the group, most of whom are not at his skill level. Which is making the group dancing as a whole look cleaner and more synchronized. Blending in when you naturally stand out is HARD. Lee Know has always done it; he had years to practice that skill, and considering where he was dancing before SKZ, that skill would have been vital and non-negotiable. But now Hyunjin is learning to do so as well, and that will benefit the team AND make his spotlight moments stand out more.
Lee Know has never been expressionless like so many know-nothings like to claim. His expressions are just _different,_ not necessarily as blatant or broad as some of the others'. He uses subtlety in his expressions when he dances just as he does off stage, and I appreciate it; it makes you pay attention, and it's a nice visual contrast to some of the other energy going on. That said, he seems to be putting some focus on upping some of his facial expressiveness in the performances. Not to an extreme, but a click or two up the dial from his usual level, just enough to be noticeable but not distracting. And it's added another level of enjoyability to his performing.
And then there's the hip-thrusting. Just...all the hip-thrusting. Everybody's. But especially a particular few who chose violence, I guess.
thank you for this so incredibly well put comment 😭
I completely agree, I love hyunjins dancing but when he goes all out, it tends to overshadow the whole performance. Making it look uniformed even though he dances well. This is why I hold lee know so highly in terms of dance because he knows and understands control.
another thing is, people assume that your facial expressions have to be up to the intensity of Hyunjin's for you to be anything other than expressionless which is simply not true.
@@rhens8088 but hyunjin’s expressions really help for the performance
I loved reading your comment 😃
THIS! Best comment I've read so far. Thank you.
I'm living for the leeknow appreciation on this vid, thank you so much;;; usually almost no one ever mentions how good he is, but it seems like this comeback has brought a little more attention onto him. hope it stays that way
Agree, he deserves it!
Usually what?-
@@skzftw2489Sadly yes
@@ayanobadass949 be fr, he is known as the dance leader and main dancer and everyone mostly talks about his talent as a dancer..and he is one of the most popular members
@@skzftw2489ikr? if were talking underrated whos part of the dance line then its def lee yongbok. i have never seen a dance practice, reel & performance where somebody compliments him about how he dances. he might b the most popular member but people always tend to either comment on his voice, cuteness or visuals & not his dance techniques. everytime someone makes a dance analysis of dancerracha they would always only label him as "energetic" while lee know & hyunjin gets all the praise. he has such great footwork, idk why he's not getting appreciated enough for his dance
There have had so many injuries by now. During winter while they were busy Lee Know's finger was in a cast, Chan's wrist as always has its issues, Felix's disc and Han had an accident concerning his neck if i remember from the making (which wasnt explained by jyp). Not as an excuse but as an admiration of how they still manage themselves so professionally.
They really need a rest though. There's still always at least one member injured and that's not safe at all.
Also with going harder on the centre and pacing on the outer parts, helps draw the focus to the centre, if everyone went full out, your eyes would drift, but when the centre goes harder than the other aspects of a formation, it solidifies the space you're 'supposed' to look at
About the steps on the first and second chorus, honestly as someone who learned ballet, it's really nice to see how Lee Know, Seungmin, Changbin, and Felix put their front foot on turn-out position. Imo if they're going to lift their foot to the side by turning in, then it's actually easier to put it on turn-out position rather than parallel position.
I'm also surprised that Jeff didn't mention the head spinning on that last chorus. I love how Lee Know and I.N did it, they are the ones who did full spin, like truly "embodied" a maniac.
And Jeff, go watch the weekly idol fancam! Not sure if I saw it wrong coz the moves is quite fast, but I think Lee Know's foot is quite straight when doing the high kick. And do check how Lee Know did the scorpion dance moves, he use his arm, shoulder, and core strength to lift up his body to finish in a kneeling position. For me, it looks really good and light.
Whats scorpion dance move?
@@samrosales4282 the one that Lee Know, Seungmin and I.N did on Han's rap part. Lift up one leg to stand up from a lying-face down-on the floor position.
Lee Know's fancam haunting your feed. Did you happen to watch the Inkigayo one? 🤭
I usually don’t like reaction videos but this is an analysis and I love it!!! And same with the inescapable Lee Know fancam, lmao. 💕💕
i ADORE that they rotated the chorus through danceracha. i'm lee know biased so i'm very happy as is, but he's also so fun to watch this era lol. i love danceracha and i love that they really balance each other out, especially our two main dancers. hyunjin is very bouncy and exaggerated, while lee know is solid and precise. i love when groups have two main dancers just for this reason.
I came to stray kids after LeeKnow fancam. He is something, something mesmerising. But all members really good in dancing 😉 Thanks for analysis!
Lee know bias wrecked me so hard this comeback and he's literally my ult.
This is so good -- they are so intriguing and interesting. Never boring
I love the way you pay attention to all members. Even praised the dance of vocal line, Seungmin and I.N too.
Lee know is TheBest yeah😇
Felix cannot dance full out cause he got a back injury so the choreography & position is tailored for it.
15:09 I find him really cute here smol dancing along with the rest of the members. I hope you get well soon Felix!
I am glad that you said it cause i was so confused as i am new to them... I have seen so many of felix fancams but he wasn't dancing.. hope he gets well soon i really like his voice & overall attitude/ aura 🥰💞
Can we appreciate Jeff actually demonstrating differences in dancing techniques? @ 4:16 and @ 10:10 I think very few reactors are capable of that
my favorite thing about jeff and his videos is the way he can read choreo and understand the story behind it. of course he is very technically educated on the dance and moves, but we don't see a lot of people talking about and appreciating the stories behind choreos the way jeff does. and as someone who is not a dancer and it's harder for me to pick up on those things, it's so fascinating and appreciated.
It amazes me to see how easily you pull that kick off while I'm here struggling to even make my kick reach stomach height.
I know right? My fan kick looks more like an acute angle. 🤣 He made it look so easy.
15:54 i love how IN and HYUNJIN’s legs don’t end up being crossed after the spin, i’ve been replaying it trying to figure out how they did it !
They're executing the move the same way as the others for the first half: spinning to face backward, feet never losing contact with the ground. As the second half starts, they're supposed to leave their right feet in place and just rotate their bodies, pivoting on the left heel and right heel and then toe, resulting in the crossed feet once they're facing front again. Done the way it's meant to be done, neither foot ever completely loses contact with the floor; it's all pivoting on heels and toes while the feet remain in the same space on the floor.
But instead, on Hyunjin's first drill spin and I.N's second, they keep their left feet in place like they're supposed to, but they lift the right foot just far enough off the floor to swing it around and line it up with the left foot when they return to facing forward. I.N's is more overt than Hyunjin's, but they both do it. I.N's feet aren't clearly seen in his first drill turn, so I can't tell what he does in this practice, but he regularly loses his balance a bit on this move during performances and ends up just placing his feet as best he can when he regains his center. He usually does a good job of disguising it and selling the move with his upper body even when his feet don't cooperate. (Seungmin has lost his balance on it once or twice too. It's not easy.)
Hyunjin's second drill spin in this practice isn't as off choreo as his first. In the ending position of his first drill turn, his feet are completely lined up and pointing forward. But the second ends with them _slightly_ crossed like they're supposed to be. Done correctly, feet are lined up when facing the back wall, which results in the fully crossed position when they spin to the front without lifting the feet. In the second spin, he still lifted his right foot, but rather than swinging/sliding it all the way around and forward again, he planted it a quarter-turn before the end (so a quarter-turn later than the back wall) and got his feet lined up when facing to his right side, then left his right foot down like he's supposed to and completed the move.
Since he now usually does the move correctly and ends with the crossed feet -- and most of them now successfully do the continued torso spin to the left before springing back to forward position -- I suspect this practice was recorded while they were still polishing some of the finer points and getting everyone to match up.
@@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks wdym first half? Liek first chorus?
@@samrosales4282 First half of the spin, going from facing front to facing back.
you can do it easily by spinning on one foot, with the other acting like it's on the ground (it's hovering) on a semi slippery floor.
or half spin, switch to the other foot to spin again.
I am absolutely and irrevocably in love at first sight with the way Hyunjin moves and how he holds himself on stage and during dance practices. An exceptional dancer not only in the k-pop industry, but in general, considering that he hasn't been dancing for long and hasn't learned it since childhood. Here his in power saving mode, so to speak. But it's still eye-catching.
I also want to highlight Jisung and Jеongin, I have been watching them for a long time, and they grow very much from comeback to comeback in dance skills.
Thanks for your reaction
'I'm glad they're all working out'
my head Seungmin-ah the mermaid xD
Hi Jeff, I am also an ex ballet dancer. I love the reviews you give! I think Lee Know is a great dancer like Seungmin.
LeeKnow better than seungmin, better energy, better expression,
I am not saying Seungmin is bad. He is Super good dancer but obviously LeeKnow rank higher
@@lalisalamilalisalami of course but as a stay we must support all members equally
@@lalisalamilalisalami okay and op just wanted to say that both are great dancers yet u had to go on comparing on whos better and not only about dancing but also about expressions and such
@@lalisalamilalisalami i kinda agree with that like leeknow has like very clean moves not saying he is bad but leeknow has some kind of power
@@lalisalamilalisalami I say Seugmin and I.N are good.. great actually. For them to keep up with dancers like Lee Know and Hyunjin tells me enough about their skills… they trained hard to be uniformed with the others, don’t discredit them..
the "OH MY GOD" during poppin' part, FELT
hahaha so funny to see you get lost in your thoughts because of Bangchan's arms. same Jeff, same. I believe your bias is Lee Know? coz me too.
I agree that their choreo is like from a musical haha,, idk where i saw it but someone pointed out that jyp groups choreos are actually more like musicals in the sense that they act out the lyrics and not just dance randomly to the music
I really like Hyunjin's attitude, character & energy when they perform, most specially when he's in the center. And his moves are so impactful.
LEE KNOW FANCAM is insane...
Yes I've been eagerly awaiting dance reactions for this! The comment about it being music theatre style really hit me.... I keep unknowingly loving choreos like that
Also I know what you mean about the fancams being unavoidable, and I keep cracking up knowing one reason why it's Lee Know specifically haha
Actually in the first Felix woke up the Frankenstein i.e, Lee know
The choreography is so creative
I can't stop looking at it
Everyone show their colours 😀🔥
*Jeff how many times did you watch the body roll move?*
Jeff: yes
Owh yes i notice that too
I also think it’s bcs Felix and Lee Know it’s a center with Felix leg move way bigger and Lee Know to front or audience
love the analysis! this choreo is one of my faves of the year so far. also, as a side note i've noticed since your move you've had a bit more of an accent lol, it's really cute
each time I watch this dance it amazes me more
and I'm so happy people notice lee know's power in dance😁
Hyunjin was holding himself back in this cb. He was sick and he’s allergic too, covid affected him a lot I think, he was coughing and looked too tired in lives. Still he did his best and his dancing is so professional.
He showed covid symptoms more
In show champion at the end he seemed to be in pain most likely due to his shoulder, i wish he get rest it’s affecting him even when he tries not to show it :(
This is why I love this choreo in how the lyrics are. The way they unscrew the “Frankenstein” screw in their heads and then like hit it back in. It matches the lyrics spot on with “having a screw loose”
Love your outfit, its a lot more comfortable for you to do your dance moves. Love your reaction as always! Nice seeing you dance more.
Loving the new studio! The wood floor looks nice too
Thanks for doing a reaction. I still haven’t studied the choreography yet but a lot of the Kicks how high they are. But there Kingdom performances were very musical theatre. Which i recommend anyone to watch those Kingdom Stray Kids stages 👍
that smile that you get everytime they do the "poppin" body roll... like... same
9:49 Hyunjin did it as if he's AI 😭 how can he move like this, I don't get it, the man is absolutely insane, he never fails to amaze me
12:00 well, he gone "crazy" cause he embraced the concept, cause lyrics say that in chorus part :))) it's logical
"Going crazy, like I have a loose screw maniac, Spinning, going crazy" ©
16:58 and softned perfectly singing lunatic bridge
Thank you for mentioning how actually hard it is to deal with post-covid fatigue, I gone through all myself and I'm amazed how they managed to perform almost every day after that period
Ohhh man, i love the new format you do some of the moves and explain
Omg yes lee know does the prechorus dance differently! I kept telling my sister about it but she never noticed it ugghhh
LIVING FOR THE LEE KNOW APPRECIATION YESS
Even it's my least favorite SKZ choreography since last 2 years, I'm still amazed how they perfectly executed it.
16:58 yes, that's my favorite part too, it's so hypnotizing, Hyunjin's body control/balance and elegance when he moves is simply impressive.
18:35 thanks for pointing it out , i can see it too, i mean safe execution and a lil bit "holding back" , but honestly their health it priority N1 and I'm still upset that Lix has back injury, Han had injury too! Hyunjin had shoulder tapes on their fan meeting and we can see it in his facial expressions he had pain while he executes certain moves.
I really hope choreographer and company can give them a bit easier choreographies without all this extreme, when they get injured!!
what do we all get and artists at the end of the day when they get injured :((
I want them to be healthy, SKZ choreographies are really hard core and they work non stop, now 22.6 is japanese ep, July World Tour, asking myself when my boys resting?! :( they should take care of themselves ❤️
at least choreographies shouldn't be extra hard
yeeyy, Jeff is back, again🤣❤️
Lee know has a perfect body roll. Perfectly agree. Some ar just the hip, some the upper part.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOU JEFF
Kudos to the trust and synchronisation of changbin and hyunjin. Love it
Was waiting for this !! Thanksss
Wow, I love your new setup!! Demonstrating what you are talking about is really awesome and helpful! Thank you for another great video!!
Yeah u mentioned the important things, I think recently they do this , I was wondering too if choreographer told them to be more control and relaxed when they aren't in center and then doing hard when they're in center Specially hyunjin cuz he always doing harder than anyone like he dance crazy but choreographer put him in back line in so many part Specially killing part like hips or popping move and u can't even see him :(
But when is going on center he killed that!! He really shows Maniac!! If u see studio choom u can see what he did with his eyes that was crazy !
Its good tho, he already got a lot of center part. So the choreografer want to push other members too. I hate when choreografer push one person a lot qnd overshadowed other members
My dance crew (X2C Crew) covered this song and being part of it was insane. Dances like these are so hard to pull off but it was so worth it in the end when we performed it. It really makes one appreciate the group's hard work and choreographers that much more
Man i might bias you, you beautiful and have taste in music
i still find it so funny that after the all of us are dead meme came out, skz did a zombies dance practice
Can we talk about how fine i.n looks in this
The intro looks like an altar for me.
16:26 just a fyi Lee Know does do most / all of the choreography so sometimes the reason why he’s faced more forward is cause he’s watching the boys!! Literally binge watching all your SKZ videos ❤
i just wanna say that your hair looks cool 💅🏻
Honestly, Jeff… i’d think you’d be lying if you said you haven’t watched any fancam of the poppin’ part. Lmao. All of it are pure ✨gold✨
Thank you for appriciating Lee Know. I feel you. I can't skip Lee Know's fan cam. Especially the "TASTE". Btw,just bumped on your channel and no regrets. New subscriber here😊
I really like your new studio! So nice watching you doing the dance moves!
been waiting for your reaction!! aaaa i love it
their pictures in their choreography never misses
Jeff i recommend checking out NMIXX’s TANK dance practice! the choreo is so freaking cool !!
Uppppp
loved this video and the way you explained everything was amazing!!
I just discovered you channel with this video, and I LOVE IT ! You’re not just reacting, you’re also really analyzing, and I really appreciate having such a deep analysis, it really helps understanding how that choreo actually works !
Bro I love your hairstyle rn
Of course Hyunjin tones down when he's not in the center, otherwise we all would only see him with his IT Factor and Star Power. I can't get enough of his fancams even this comeback choreography blocks members, it's too crowdy for music show stages :(
Formation could be better
I personally don't like this choreography, but I'm thankful they did it and invested so much hard work/dedication into it. SKZ are working extremely hard
Jeff please, we need a video reaction of the fancams! It would be so nice!
OH MY GOD JEFF IS HEREEEE
6:15 yeahhhh ahahahhahahahaha i saw it on tiktok..they do the comparison between the dance and the zombies...i even added it to favorite 😂😂
jeff since u mentioned the zombies thing I just want to say that before maniac stray kids talked A LOT about zombies and I just realised now it was probably a spoiler XD so thanks
Love the new set up. Have been waiting long time to see these kinds of visual explanations from you. As I have never danced, your demonstration somewhat helps me a lot to understand and appreciate the dance moves, rather than the verbal explanations....
FIGHTING!!!!!!!!
You analysing my favourite move from the video 9:10
-I replayed that part a lot to see each of them eat it up and leave no crumbs
Leeknow is a great dancer and the best in SKZ. I would love an "Artist Of The Month" for him.
Love your in depth reactions and explanations. Did you ever watch a P1Harmony dance practice reaction? Because if not, i would really recommend them, since they're some of my favorite dancers in kpop :)
Again in the comments spam LK stans.
Felix and Hyunjin cannot dance on one hundred percent because of injuries - Felix has back problems, Hyunjin has something wrong with his shoulders and neck, which, frankly, is immediately noticeable, because two of the brightest performers are missing. The rest of the boys are amazing and work hard, but dancing doesn't have the fire that Hyunjin usually gives in the first place. I hope that everyone will be healthy and we will finally see a bright performance
Aren't you too lazy to create new accounts to write nasty things?
Jealousy is a disease. there will always comment like you when ppl praise lee know, there's nothing wrong praise/hype ur bias as long as u don't drag other members. who's ur bias we just want to know, and I hope skz never read ur type of comment. comment that always lessen the bond between stay
I love the references to Frankenstein and screws all over the choreo!!
I would give you three thumbs up if TH-cam had the facility. Thanks for your reaction. Stay healthy, sir.
Wait.. oke jeff you similar han ji sung stray kids 😄 same handsome
Over at Twitterland, someone use a clip of Hyunjin doing Chorus choreo part saying "look your fav dance like he tried to off himself" in a tone that suggest the poster is trying to drag SKZ.
I don't understand what the drag is so I naturally go to replies, right? It goes like this:
Hater 1: He dances like he's going insane
Stay 1: Dude, the song is called Maniac
Hater 2: He dances like he's loosing a screw
Stay 2: Err, that's exactly the lyrics?
Hater 3: wtf, he dance like he get bitten by zombie
Stay 3: Literally the theme is Frankenstein
Hater 4: wtf is this? He's loosing it!
Relpy: I'm not even a Stay. The song literally called Maniac. How that is so hard to understand?
And it goes on and on.
Btw, yes, the haters all from one fandom. Saying sh1t to drag SKZ, but in the process, proving the choreos for Maniac is actually accurately depicts "crazy, manic and odd"
Stop talking about haters we don’t care about them 😊
@@jui5004 I only talk about haters when they are struggling. It's peak entertainment
such an informative and interesting reaction! tysm for this!
9:00 맞아요. 무시하기 힘들죠. ㅎㅎ 그런 좋은 건 봐야 돼요. 그리고 널리 퍼뜨려야 됩니다.
I'm late but i wanted to say that they probably didn't go full out to let Felix shine in the few appearance he had since he couldn't dance the full choreo with them. Since i realized that they hold back mostly when Felix is in the center.
I just genuinely love Jeff's reactions but more so he seriously reminds me of Han! And that makes me like him even more yk. That's kinda how I imagine Han's older brother looking😂👀I mean they could pass as siblings
6:11 so that’s why they made a Zombie version of this dance practice... I was so confused cuz in my mind I was like “it’s not even close to halloween... why the heck?”
I mean, I appreciate it but I was just confused, now it makes sense
i totally love how youre now showing some moves too! have you ever considered reacting to DKZ (formely known as Dongkiz) dance practices? they're insane and they're having a comeback soon too (12th april) . i would totally love to hear your thoughts to their Crazy Night / Lupin choreographies !!
I love the harry potter reference 😂
Love the Harry Potter reference omg I immediately understood the imagery!!!!!
Yes! Lee Know😍
Thank you Jeff!
8:16 What's wrong with that 'OH MY GOD?' 🤭🤣
6:12 im assuming you mean all of us are dead 💀💀 such a good kdrama ✨✨
Thank you!!🖤
Am I the only one who thinks that Jeff looks like Han?
Dino's Danceology with Seungkwan is so good. Please react to it Jeff!!!
