💎 SEVENTEEN IS OUR DIAMOND 💎
Me to Seventeen: thank you for the love that has never made me feel lonely since '15
Indeed, @pledis_17 may have just turned 11, but #Joshua is just getting started. Meet the charming K-pop artist on the cover of Vogue Singapore's 'Embody' issue for June now.
Q. Among SEVENTEEN's choreography, which one is the hardest, or which one is the most intense?
🕺🏻: This might seem like an obvious answer, but anyone who knows SEVENTEEN's choreography already know this. There's no easy SEVENTEEN choreography. All of them are hard
👤: Why is it like that though?
🕺🏻: Because they're so talented and they understand and make music as well. For example, if you hear a 'tuk' sound, you have to throw a movement with a 'tuk' feeling, and if you hear a 'kung', you have to hit with a 'kung' feeling. The scale of these movements are different, you know? The scale of the movement? I always tell choreographers that they need to choreography that matches the scale and intensity of the beat That's what allows people to be immersed in it, and that's what makes good choreography. But usually, because [idols] have to sing live and things like that, there are many choreographies that get made smaller or lighter compared to the intensity of the song's beat. But SEVENTEEN isn't like that. They fully put in choreography that matches the full impact, the '땜삥' (feel) of the music exactly as it's heard.
👤: So they stayed true without compromising
🕺🏻: Because they're able to pull all of it off. That's why when you watch SEVENTEEN's choreography, it feels completely full. The formations are packed full too, and they throw in the right levels of power to match the beats, and the sense of speed? all those things are filled to the maximum (perfectly in place). That's why people find SEVENTEEN's choreography is fun to watch. But since they're able to pull it all off, I'm able to put all of it into the choreography. This is truly SEVENTEEN's capability.
👤: I totally get what you mean. Since they have to perform live, it usually comes with compromise, you scale down certain parts to match that. But with SEVENTEEN, they're able to do all without compromises.
🕺🏻: They'd say "Hyung, well do it all", "Just make us do it all". Funny thing is, [there's this story] on one of the album. They have been active for quite long, I thought they might get tired so I removed jumps and things like that from the choreography.
👤: Oh that sounds considerate to me?
🕺🏻: But when I took them out, they go "hmm", "hmm.. is this really okay?". At first they were like "Ah hyung, please take out some of the jumps", but when I actually removed them, they said "Ah hyung, it doesn't hit the same anymore", "It doesn't have the same stage vibe". So we ended up putting everything back in. That's when I realize how they truly feel the joy of performing on stage, the joy of being artist. And when that happens, what comes next? They gain confidence, right? And when fans look at artists brimming with confidence, how do the fans react? They go wild, right. And when the company sees the fans like that, what happens? Woah~ they will be thrilled. That's how the overall final result ends up being created.
