These three are known as three of the best dancers in the industry, and fans have been begging for all three of them to do something like this which is probably why it's just these 3 and not the rest. :p
Yes, our wishes have been granted! They're also the only 3 from the SuperM who are part of SM The Performance, and I think that had a huge bearing in why they were chosen, too
STR I wouldn't say Ten is widely KNOWN as one of the best dancers, he's a bit slept on in that department. Give it a bit of time & then everyone will know how good he is👌
Kai looks way taller than Taemin because he IS taller than Taemin 😂 Speaking of Taemin and Kai, *YOU SHOULD REACT TO THEIR COLLABORATION CALLED "PRETTY BOY"!!*
Kai as well!!! He started with opening the door as Ben so cleverly noted. And Kai in Chinese means "open, start" as well as "victory"... Probably that's why he was the one with whom EXO's teasers started in the past - he opened, started the way to the victorious path of EXO ;))) I still have no clue what's the intention of Ten's name but NCT (WayV) has also variation of victory with WinWin :)) And Taemin's name means "great people" as I read somewhere... But in his case we see red lights and may be it's not just accident that Ben exclaimed: Auh, put some red lights behind and make him look evil as hell! :))
@@rallybl Ten's name is not a stage name 😂😂 In Thailand it's common to have nicknames and Ten is the name he's been called all his life. There are elementary school pictures of Ten and from the basketball team and it names him Ten. His sister's name is also a nickname. Lisa is also a shortening of Lalisa. Their full names are long! So Ten's his name SM didn't choose it :)
@@artten2650 Ok, thank you! But even when artists keep their names it's usually with purpose :) Just because they suit well the concept of the group or have great meaning which is good to be incorporated. Ten in English is 10, you know... so I thought it could have some meaning in another language as well...??!
@@rallybl Lol I'm sure many artists do but with Ten I think it's a happy coincidence. Like I said his sister's (Tern is her name, her full name is too loooong!) is also a nickname. And it's very common in Thailand. In Thai Ten doesn't mean 10. It's a lucky coincidence that his name happens to be so great for the stage. SM was probably super excited with his name. But Ten himself learnt English as a child, he knows Ten is 10 and he loves making plays with his name. he's an artist and he always incorporates 10s and all that in his art. He created a name for his fans: it's 10velys (read as lovely, 10 stands for lo) He does it all the time and uses it creatively. I think he loves his name and he loves to play with it. So in a way you are right that he uses it artistically! :)
Oh really?!! Sooo cool. When I explored EXO's concept I was fascinated to find out that Kai's stage name in Chinese means "open, start" as well as "victory"... Probably that's why he was the one with whom EXO's teasers started in the past - he opened, started the way to the victorious path of EXO ;)))
Ben referring to Taemin, "This man is an Artist!" Me: Absolute Fact! And Taemin is 179cm (5'10") while Kai is 182cm, so he is taller. On their dancing? Ten is elegant. Taemin is powerful and sinister. Kai is graceful. Thanks for the reaction Ben. I love it!
omg, im so shocked, is taemin really 179cm?!? he looks way shorter than that, like he stood next to ten and they looked about the same height and ten is only 170cm
@@ticy3334 yes he is! It's just Taemin doesn't really stand straight most of the time. On their press conference in South Korea, you can clearly see the height difference. SHINee members are tall except for Jjong 😊
@@arinaarinza It's his official height in 2019. He just doesn't look that tall cause he seldom stood straight and he has a slight build. SHINee members are close in height except for Jjong who was the shortest. Baekhyun is 5'9" and Taemin is taller than Baekhyun.
KAI's performance is called "The Door" that he and his long time choreographer created for a very short time period. Though they do it in a hurry, look what is the product of their hardship. Kai always killing his moves😊
When the song went “Ten on the floor” I felt that, I liked all performances, I was excited to see Taemin dancing to a different pace that he would normally, and Ten is just mind blowing 💚🔥
“Kai = open” that’s why he’s pretending to open a door and his solo part name is door too . Also there is a meaningful story behind Kai’s part and he participated in every single detail of it so you can see him dancing as he’s telling a story with his beautiful body and face with out saying a word he’s sooo passionate dancer and I love that about him 👌🏻💛
kai about the location said : 'when i motion to open the door, you see the white background, that was also my idea i wanted to dance with it, without any special effects, like i said earlier, so you can focus on the moves, and there are different stories for the blue light, the green light and the red light
Kai is magical, From what i see Kai's blended many dance style in his dance. You maybe can see Kai's doing like pantomime, Ballet Jazz Contemporary (His speciality) and he always dance like a story teller (Historical dance). That's why he choose simplycity background, for people can focus to his dance. Kai means to open/to start The dance "door" relate to his name.
Okay kai, what do you want to do to us? 😍😍😍😍 I watched it many times and still blown by his performance. Can't wait to see them on stage! The seven of them, all of them are great dancers 😁😁😁
Kai’s dancing is sooo sharp and clean and that’s something I don’t see in any body else but him ,he mesmerizing me with his body moves and facial expressions which he has been known for them 👍🏻🔥✨dancing machine Kim Kai is his nickname since debut with Exo and we can see that clearly 👌🏻
Kai and his choreographer created that piece in one day. They were the ones behind the different location the outfits the changing lights even the music they wanted to tell a story
Taemin’s stare was so intense, I’m surprised Ten and Kai didn’t melt into puddles. Like damn boi, chill! Our eyes were blessed 🙏🏼 Incredible performances from the 3. Can’t wait to see other videos
The boys slayed I love all performances my fav is either Taemin or Ten because they are so extra😂Kai was amazing as always didn’t expect anything less very sultry in a way💚🥺 SuperM is gonna kill us
As far as I know, Kai means open. Chen said once in a variety show that Lee Soo Man ( SM’s founder ) gave their stage names and he mentioned that Lee Soo Man gave Jongin the stage name Kai so if you will watch EXO ‘s videos, Kai always appears first because his name is associated with ‘Open’. And in “Overdose” MV it is clearly seen that Kai appears in the opening and closing of it. And EXO’s members Baekhyun and Kai have shown their superpowers in their Super M individual teasers so I remembered the ‘open’ thingy associated to Kai. You are allowed to correct me if I’m wrong.
@ 7:40 Yes Ben, he's pretending to open a door and in fact, the performance was called "DOOR" by the original choreographer (Mihawk). He stated in his IG update that he worked really hard in doing the choreo together with Jongin (he trained Jongin since he was 15) esp when he went through a lot these days, making this performance special.
How did you picked up the door thing?! It's the name of the choreo! Kai finished it the day of the shooting with his choreographer. Edit and adding comments: Taemin referencing dreams really makes me think about the theory that he is the "puppet master" and they are all under his spell in a dream. This concept makes me so curious. Also Jongin performing in a different space really quizzes me. I mean, in his teaser too, Taemin wasn't surrounded by green lights at all, but he was all blue? Why?
@@emmaelf9701 uh, that sounds plausible... Also someone on twitter said that Lucas (probably) has lucid drams instead? So he can control where he goes and what happens?
I'm already in love with Ben's reactions because he is sooo good in noticing important details!!! And he reads them so well... By the way Kai in Chinese means "open, start" as well as "victory"... I read about it when I was exploring EXO's concept. Probably that's why he was the one with whom EXO's teasers started in the past - he opened, started their victorious ;)))
@@catsrambling don't forget the light theory, taemin was surrounded by green light in luca's teaser. But I get why you said he has the lucier dreams power because he got in and out of the dream using the elevator, and he looked up (maybe felt the existance of taemin?!).
@@rallybl I'm happy to hear someone knows what "kai" means (like many exols do) but... What does it have to do with my comment? The meaning of the choreo was explained by the choreographer on his IG, other than that, here in SuperM it's Jongin’s power that is important, rather than the meaning of his name, hence why I was mainly focusing on that.
I think Taemin's three colors (green, blue, red) represent different aspects: blue is the past, green is the present but also the dream/nightmare, red is the future/other dimension. NCT is usually black on black or black and white because of doubleness and duality. In Taemin's trailer, you see him in red and green when he's monitoring and invoking the others, and blue when we see the "dead" Taemin's and the memory of the umbrella. And here, his switch to Kai has blue hues for their history together. Kai starts in black and white (remember he teleports and he's usually the link between worlds in EXO theories). Kai's "Door" performance is also a journey. He starts from the past (blue), becomes sharp in the green, and he finishes in the red. He's gone through the dream and come out on the other side (he seems to lose a piece of clothing when he travels, remember his trailer). That's just my idea. (And fans receive their official fandom name from the group itself after the debut, so not yet.)
I Kai is the best dancer in kpop if we base the votes came from the kpop artist and kpop dancers choreographers. Taemin in the second spot followed by Ten.
Actually Kai isn't the only one in a different room. Ten started out in the first room with the window wall behind him. then taemin came over in the same room and started dancing. but he dances in 2 locations. the same one as ten, and another empty dark room (sometimes with the red lights). in this room, kai comes over and then kai starts dancing in the empty room except now all the lights are on and it's bright (and white).
We call this 'SM Flexing.' They are a company known for having the best vocals in Kpop generation after generation. This is them going, 'Hey, we have the best dancers, too. Don't forget it.' Perhaps there is more to it, but that's what I got from this particular video.
it's only them three bc they're known as the holy trinity. what r u looking at right the frick now is three of the MOST capable dancers and the greatest dancers of sm. they're THE dance trio. others do dance amazingly but, those three are just something else
Yeah we already know they are all Great dancersss~ Thats why not many reacting to this. Im more excited for Ten's singing in the background (like wow I need more vocals in the trailers)
They are just showcasing the dance line for SuperM. I don’t think there’s any other meaning into this. Nothing related to the MV. The boys KILLED it btw. So excited for their debut.
Loved the uniqueness of Kai’s performance. It was so different and enthralling. So much body control and finesse there. I was so drawn to his emotions too. When he was struggling with various feelings, I could feel the same struggle. And Yes, Kai is definitely telling a story with his performance. It’s called Door. He has explained the concept in detail in one of his live Instagrams. Here is the link to it th-cam.com/video/OupIWNZrkFc/w-d-xo.html He also mentioned there are certain portions in the dance where there is actually no music but we seem to hear it as we anticipate it. He has put a lot of thought into it. Overall a truly unique concept and performance. Way to go Kai🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Each of them are so unbelievably talented. Ten: he brings so much power in such sharp moves Taemin: with such an ungodly amount of control over his body, he is able to make such small movements seem ENORMOUS Kai: he is so fluid, and he always brings so much emotion into his dance Put all three together and they create ART.
i understand the over analyzing because that's the biggest mood for em rn hehe baekhyun joked in taemin's ig live about calling us soomanies (from lee soo man, founder of sm entertainment). that's not official but that's what most of us are using hahaha i'm so excited for the release and my bias wreckers and biases from diff groups all in one group wow what a dream come true
Okay I tried to find this comment, but didn't see it around, so... Taemin, Kai, and Ten are all a part of an SM unit/group called SM The Performance. (Other members are SHINee Minho, EXO Lay, Super Junior Donghae & Eunhyuk, and TVXQ U-Know.) This group has been around, dancing on special programming, doing stages in SM Town concerts, and making Station mvs, since 2012. Ten is the only non-original member, and he joined in 2017. THAT's why these three have an extra performace video... and you're right, no one is reacting to it, because unless you've been following kpop for a while (and a bit obsessively lol) you wouldn't know about it necessarily (that's fine, too! Love to all the newer kpop fans!!)
PS - a lot of people also don't know that Ten's "Dream in a Dream" was actually his debut in this group, and was promoted as a group song! Of course, since it was on Empathy, it's thought of as his solo (which it is) and an NCT 2018 piece (sort of). SM doesn't make life easy for us, huh? XD
I think they are probably in three different mental status- Ten keeps spelling and announcing his name with his voice and his body represents the reality, where the true self exists. Taemin actually performed in Two different locations- one is the same as Ten's, the other looks a lot more dreamy. And he keeps mentioning dream. So I would assume that Taemin gets into the second level- dream. Kai gets into the third level-dream in a dream(where everything becomes possible-quote NCT Mentary). The way he opens an invisible door can prove that. The way he dances is more conflicted and with more struggle, maybe it shows that he is on another spiritual level.
Interesting! I didn't think of it that way, but it makes sense. I was thinking that Taemin is controlling them to some extent. This kind of ties in to the individual trailers and how it looks like Taemin is manipulating events for all of the other members. In the performance video, he performs in the middle, bridging the gap between Ten and Kai. He is present in both "locations" - in the big space that Ten is in, and the room that Kai is in (although his version is lit up by red lighting for both areas, which just adds to the ominous feeling). That makes me think that he is the one who "created" those dream areas that Ten and Kai are dancing in. The song he dances to specifically mentions "dreams take over" and "are we dreaming?". His movements while dancing seem to me to echo the movements someone who is controlling a marionette would make, like there are strings that he is manipulating. I don't know. There is definitely an air of Taemin being in control of things or manipulating dreams/reality between this video and the trailers. But he does also look like *he* is the one being possessed by the dreams. So I'm just guessing at this point. 😆
Unsure if it's been said yet or not... but they're considered the best dancers from their respective groups. Taemin and Kai are regarded as top dancers in the industry in general. So that's why it's these three.
So is Ten :(( He was considered one of the best ever since 2016 when he did hit the stage. He was immediately ranked as one of the best in kpop. He is still ranked there.
"These three have power over me" Dude, just admit all seven have powerover you because literally all of them are bias wreakers. XD Choosing one bias out of them will be impossible
I don’t think people understand that this video is to showcase SM’s best dancers in their entire company. In fact dancers they believe to be the best in the entire industry, and many fans would agree. And they are even making the video out to be a “duel” or a “dance-off” between the three. That’s the reason there won’t be a video of the other four. This is a performance video to showcase their best dancers. I also think that there won’t be much in this that will be tied to the future music video, if there is it’ll probably be very minuscule. A video that will showcase what will be in their future music video would be the Jopping teaser (I think that’s how it’s spelled. But again this is what I believe the purpose of this video is. I could be wrong.
How I wish you would enjoy this video and their performance more, instead of overthinking why they did that and this, and why only those three who were featured in performance video. I don’t know if you’re aware, but SM always releases performance videos for some of their artists. Taemin’s Drip Drop and NCT’s Black on Black are two examples of performance videos SM released.
*Hey Ben, Chen's new mv "Shall We" is out! Please please please react to it!* Edited : you just uploaded your reaction to Chen's mv! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️
its only 3 of them. because the rest is not part of sm-performance team. this performance video was made for the only member that included in sm-performance team. thats why
I love how in all the videos Ben has so much adoration for the members, but he is so pissed by Kai. At 9:12 "He is just showing off" and at the previous video about Kai being disrespectful and shirtless. We are pissed too, boy needs to calm down. I was actullay surprised he was fully dressed here.
Also, there's no official fan name uet for SuperM fans. Although in Lysn, there is a channel called 'SuperM Supporters'. They are actually looking for leaders/volunteers who are US residents. Maybe you're interested. :)
This video was probably to introduce the super M group and it’s members and showcase their talents. All the more reason to do so since super m were to debut in the US where kpop or the kpop idols weren’t as popular.

Ten is awesome omg so very good im seriously dead bro
taemin is the best dancer in kpop
I Kai is the best dancer in kpop if we base the votes came from the kpop artist and kpop dancers choreographers. Taemin in the second spot followed by Ten.
Cheng Elare you are right. Kai is called the idol of idols.
TAEMIN KING 🔝🔝🔝🔥🔥🔥
Yes Taemin is art !!!
Information
Ten is Main dancer NCT
Taemin is too much 😈😈😈🔥🔥🔥
Actually Kai isn't the only one in a different room. Ten started out in the first room with the window wall behind him. then taemin came over in the same room and started dancing. but he dances in 2 locations. the same one as ten, and another empty dark room (sometimes with the red lights). in this room, kai comes over and then kai starts dancing in the empty room except now all the lights are on and it's bright (and white).
Last time I was this excited about reaction video it was Black on Black.
"Taemin in my dreams"...yup.
7:42 YO YOU GOT THAT RIGHT it was confirmed that he is interpreting as opening a door
also Kai is 6 feet tol lol
Kai is taller than taemin. much taller. Taemin: 175cm (5' 9"); Kai:182cm (6' 0")
TEN ❤ because they are the Top3 best dancers in the kpop industry
Taemin is trying to corrupt me and I'm here for it. The things I would do for that man.
Taemin is religion.
@Harmon McCraw god lee Taemin appear like miracle of Moses 😂😂
@Harmon McCraw fact🥰🥰
Yasss....
TEN is best dancer :)
We call this 'SM Flexing.' They are a company known for having the best vocals in Kpop generation after generation. This is them going, 'Hey, we have the best dancers, too. Don't forget it.'
Perhaps there is more to it, but that's what I got from this particular video.
Ten spelled his name with his body
it's only them three bc they're known as the holy trinity. what r u looking at right the frick now is three of the MOST capable dancers and the greatest dancers of sm. they're THE dance trio. others do dance amazingly but, those three are just something else
Yeah we already know they are all Great dancersss~ Thats why not many reacting to this.
Im more excited for Ten's singing in the background (like wow I need more vocals in the trailers)
Kai best dance in kpop
They are just showcasing the dance line for SuperM. I don’t think there’s any other meaning into this. Nothing related to the MV.
The boys KILLED it btw. So excited for their debut.
Loved the uniqueness of Kai’s performance. It was so different and enthralling. So much body control and
finesse there. I was so drawn to his emotions too. When he was struggling with various feelings, I could feel the same struggle. And Yes, Kai is definitely telling a story with his performance. It’s called Door. He has explained the concept in detail in one of his live Instagrams. Here is the link to it th-cam.com/video/OupIWNZrkFc/w-d-xo.html He also mentioned there are certain portions in the dance where there is actually no music but we seem to hear it as we anticipate it. He has put a lot of thought into it. Overall a truly unique concept and performance. Way to go Kai🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whenever you see kai in a red light, call 911
loll😂
So true
Kkkk true
Each of them are so unbelievably talented.
Ten: he brings so much power in such sharp moves
Taemin: with such an ungodly amount of control over his body, he is able to make such small movements seem ENORMOUS
Kai: he is so fluid, and he always brings so much emotion into his dance
Put all three together and they create ART.
i understand the over analyzing because that's the biggest mood for em rn hehe
baekhyun joked in taemin's ig live about calling us soomanies (from lee soo man, founder of sm entertainment). that's not official but that's what most of us are using hahaha
i'm so excited for the release and my bias wreckers and biases from diff groups all in one group wow what a dream come true
Okay I tried to find this comment, but didn't see it around, so... Taemin, Kai, and Ten are all a part of an SM unit/group called SM The Performance. (Other members are SHINee Minho, EXO Lay, Super Junior Donghae & Eunhyuk, and TVXQ U-Know.) This group has been around, dancing on special programming, doing stages in SM Town concerts, and making Station mvs, since 2012. Ten is the only non-original member, and he joined in 2017.
THAT's why these three have an extra performace video... and you're right, no one is reacting to it, because unless you've been following kpop for a while (and a bit obsessively lol) you wouldn't know about it necessarily (that's fine, too! Love to all the newer kpop fans!!)
PS - a lot of people also don't know that Ten's "Dream in a Dream" was actually his debut in this group, and was promoted as a group song! Of course, since it was on Empathy, it's thought of as his solo (which it is) and an NCT 2018 piece (sort of). SM doesn't make life easy for us, huh? XD
I think they are probably in three different mental status- Ten keeps spelling and announcing his name with his voice and his body represents the reality, where the true self exists. Taemin actually performed in Two different locations- one is the same as Ten's, the other looks a lot more dreamy. And he keeps mentioning dream. So I would assume that Taemin gets into the second level- dream. Kai gets into the third level-dream in a dream(where everything becomes possible-quote NCT Mentary). The way he opens an invisible door can prove that. The way he dances is more conflicted and with more struggle, maybe it shows that he is on another spiritual level.
Interesting! I didn't think of it that way, but it makes sense.
I was thinking that Taemin is controlling them to some extent. This kind of ties in to the individual trailers and how it looks like Taemin is manipulating events for all of the other members. In the performance video, he performs in the middle, bridging the gap between Ten and Kai. He is present in both "locations" - in the big space that Ten is in, and the room that Kai is in (although his version is lit up by red lighting for both areas, which just adds to the ominous feeling). That makes me think that he is the one who "created" those dream areas that Ten and Kai are dancing in. The song he dances to specifically mentions "dreams take over" and "are we dreaming?". His movements while dancing seem to me to echo the movements someone who is controlling a marionette would make, like there are strings that he is manipulating.
I don't know. There is definitely an air of Taemin being in control of things or manipulating dreams/reality between this video and the trailers. But he does also look like *he* is the one being possessed by the dreams. So I'm just guessing at this point. 😆
Probably it’s because they are the lead dancers in their groups and also because they are Dance kings
Taemin 😍😍😍😍😍
taemin is my father
But wait didn't he get Ben pregnant? So Deacs is your mom?!?
Unsure if it's been said yet or not... but they're considered the best dancers from their respective groups. Taemin and Kai are regarded as top dancers in the industry in general. So that's why it's these three.
So is Ten :(( He was considered one of the best ever since 2016 when he did hit the stage. He was immediately ranked as one of the best in kpop. He is still ranked there.
@@artten2650 This years Ranking too was the same as the last 3 years. Kai, Taemin and then Ten. All in the same group.
Thank you so much for reacting to and appreciating this! Honestly more people should take a look at it, these dancing kings SLAY
Its justva performance from the best 3 dancers of the group! Omg!
"These three have power over me"
Dude, just admit all seven have powerover you because literally all of them are bias wreakers. XD Choosing one bias out of them will be impossible
Taeminnnaaa💎💎💎💎😍😍😍😍love u fighting
I don’t think people understand that this video is to showcase SM’s best dancers in their entire company. In fact dancers they believe to be the best in the entire industry, and many fans would agree. And they are even making the video out to be a “duel” or a “dance-off” between the three. That’s the reason there won’t be a video of the other four. This is a performance video to showcase their best dancers. I also think that there won’t be much in this that will be tied to the future music video, if there is it’ll probably be very minuscule. A video that will showcase what will be in their future music video would be the Jopping teaser (I think that’s how it’s spelled. But again this is what I believe the purpose of this video is. I could be wrong.
Taemin was dancing in the same spot as Ten, but if you'll notice the shadows are slightly tinted red now whereas Ten's was more monotone.
Imo they choose those three because they are the most popular dancers from each groups
Good litd tenten 😭
Ten and taemin in the same team 😅 they stand together in the first teaser and picture
Just see the popping of taem.....ohhh he is god of popping
I know, right?! I actually *felt* that popping right in my gut! OMG, that was so amazing!
Kai looks like a dracula/vampire on that red background
summer love agree😂
«We are blessed aren’t we?»
Yes we truly are😍😭
How I wish you would enjoy this video and their performance more, instead of overthinking why they did that and this, and why only those three who were featured in performance video. I don’t know if you’re aware, but SM always releases performance videos for some of their artists. Taemin’s Drip Drop and NCT’s Black on Black are two examples of performance videos SM released.
taemin is king
im only here for taemin
Haha me too
@@elisapoh9030 me three😍
You are too cute😂😂😂Thanks for good question. I hope SM don’t mistake for these talented 7boys👍
dancing king, KAI

Please react to Ten dream in dream ( dance practice ) and New heroes 💚
Ooo, I love Ten's dance practice for "Dream in a Dream". It's very beautiful.
They are great dancers!!! Can they give us rap line and vocal line teasers too?
its only 3 of them. because the rest is not part of sm-performance team. this performance video was made for the only member that included in sm-performance team. thats why
I would love to see taemin and taeyong dance together that would be amazing
kai is art ❤️
"he's just showing off at this point"
we are not complaining tho
I love how in all the videos Ben has so much adoration for the members, but he is so pissed by Kai. At 9:12 "He is just showing off" and at the previous video about Kai being disrespectful and shirtless. We are pissed too, boy needs to calm down. I was actullay surprised he was fully dressed here.
And thank you for all your videos today i am happy now
The thumbnail of ten came up and i screamed a little bit
Also, there's no official fan name uet for SuperM fans. Although in Lysn, there is a channel called 'SuperM Supporters'. They are actually looking for leaders/volunteers who are US residents. Maybe you're interested. :)
This video was probably to introduce the super M group and it’s members and showcase their talents. All the more reason to do so since super m were to debut in the US where kpop or the kpop idols weren’t as popular.
“kai looks way taller than him.” kai is way taller than him lmao
I was litteraly waiting for you to react to this!
