the best choreography moments in kpop

"Weird but good" should be NCT's slogan lmao... that's neo culture technology for you

SEVENTEEN: *in the video*
Everyone watching this: *pretends to be shocked*

SVT really does have the best and hardest yet meaningful choreographies. I stand self-producing idol.

The “overdone” jump at 4:10 is an homage to the Korean traditional dance called “talchum” or “mask dance” - they’re amazing to incorporate it into the choreography so naturally.

Fun fact: Sherlock and Cherry Bomb were choreographed by the same person.

I see everyone here saying! “It’s not the best without NCT and Seventeen” and what not but *NOBODY* is even mentioning Taemin’s “Move” the granddaddy of hard choreographies

for boy group i could said that SVT and NCT are still leading in performance wise till today, while groups like shinee is the one who paved the way for sharp, detailed, and unique choreos and performances. it beacame one of the pillars of kpop choreos we see nowdays. SVT has a freaking 13 members and still had the best synchronization performances add up with their beautiful, creative, and meaningful self-made choreos. while NCT had the most unique choreos i've ever seen, it's just new and different that im not getting tired of it at all. It also differentiate them with other groups performances and honestly I would never mind if SVT or NCT will always win the best performance awards, instead im glad that they're the one who's receiving it, in them i trust.

Yall remember how much the seventeen members gushed over Getting Closer and after receiving all the support, it was so precious

Damn but NCT and Seventeen choreography ALWAYS HITS DIFFERENT BRUH
edit: also ATEEZ.

i swear when i heard the word "choreography" all i can think is nct and seventeen

The whole Cherry Boom choreography is just so weird it make me questioning how can NCT slay it like that

I got goosebumps all over my body when I knew that SVT used sign language in “Thanks” choreography
That was heart touching🥺

nct u-the 7th sense: the whole choreo lmaoo

I have to say it, NCT has very interesting choregraphies but Seventheen is very sharp too.

SVT choreographies are literally art. They aren't called the kings of synchronization and the theatre kids of kpop for nothing. It's difficult to dance so synchronized with that many members but svt managed to make it their strength. The fact that they choreograph almost all of their own routines is even more impressive. I feel like their dances are always so creative, powerful, meaningful, and satisfying. I highly recommend people to watch the performance/mv of their song Fallin' Flower... you won't regret it!

Fun Fact: During SVT’s Thanks, When the members alternated between standing and sitting, they made the letters T.H.X. as in Thanks which can be seen in the formation from above.

*NCT's Cherry Bomb is I-C-O-N-I-C.* the sliding down of alternate members and then the splitting and v formation is just so sexy

"The best choreography moments in kpop" put seventeen on thumbnail...now that's what you're talking about

seventeen are just at an unreachable level at this point...

Sherlock is a cultural reset. Shinee started dance practice videos and complicated chores with Sherlock in kpop 👑

Guys, don't forget the fact that seventeen makes their own choreography and songs!!!

good. seeing a lot of shinee, seventeen and nct make me very satisfied.

Let's not forget that NCT dream did all that hard ass dance during their teenange years. They were doing all that hard floor work at 15 to 17 yrs old. Also NCT's legendary debut, 7TH SENSE. Props to NCT (127,dream, U, wayv) for being amazinggggg

Seventeen and NCT's choreography always hits different!!!

I personally think that NCT and SVT have the best choreography ( specially the dance breaks ) and they are visually pleasing.

Why is no one talking about how NCT 127 was not even a year old when Cherry Bomb came out
Legend rookies

Yes lucifer and Taemin's dizzy shirt plus Kibum's hairstyle paved the way hahah

RIP to all the pants taemin's ripped doing the leg spreading move in Sherlock 😂
Exo's tree of life formation in Wolf and pocket-shaking move in History were iconic too

NCT Dream were in their freaking 14s~16s when they had to do all these hard af choreographies, screams king material to me

I feel like seventeen’s choreography always goes hard. Like the aesthetics, the creativity, the synchronization. It’s just all so good and visually pleasing.

I don't understand why everyone's ignoring ATEEZ
Their choreography is no joke

everbody's choreography is on another level, SHINee is so good

Shinee’s Sherlock and NCT’s Cherry Bomb were both choreographed by Tony Testa!

we all can agree SVT and NCT have the best choreographies of the new generation in k-pop. ('cuz the old one SHINee owns it)

That 7th sense intro of NCT literally gives me goosebumps everytime i hear the song and watch the choreo.Such mystery and rebellions it holds.Sherlock by Shinee is also great.

SHERLOCK such a legendary choreo and song everything screams masterpiece

sm doesn’t have unique choreography, sm has ‘wtf is that’ choreography

*Hardest choreography*
Nct,seventeen,shinee:yall call?

unrelated but svt, nct dream and astro are the most synchronized boy groups ive ever seen.
edit: im adding shinee because theyre kings also we love that microwave quality striped shirt of taemin.

In my opinion, SVT literally has the best choreography for all period. From every aspect they choreo just build perfectly. But, i also agreed that NCT cherry bomb choreography are a very masterpiece. Im so blessed to watched svt+nct choreos at the same time.

For all the people who complains why this song is not here and there, you can't put everything in one video.

NCT's choreography always have this different vibe compared to other groups and it's amazing how consistent they are with their movements each comeback-the same thing with Seventeen honestly both groups are very powerful and consistent with their movements it's scary how powerful and impactful their choreographies are.

Seventeen will forever give me chills 😭 Every single choreograph is detailed and precise yet creative, artistic and expressive. Definitely the best performers out there. NCT and sometimes stray kids too, they'll forever have a special place in my heart.

Happy to see Shinee choreos here.... And without shinee.... None of these list are completed.... Thanks fr mentioning shinee choreos !!! Shinee World forever!!!

In seventeen's choreo, hoshi incorporates sign languages, stated in the video was the thank you and promise sign language in thanks, but there are more like in clap, pretty u, don't wanna cry and call call call. I'm proud of svt for producing their own songs ++++ making their own choreography and rap lines

The way Jun pushes himself up in “Don’t Wanna Cry” first chorus is the smoothest and most beautiful thing I’ve seen.

SHINee everybody and lucifer are another thing ✨
Let me rephrase that... SHINee is another thing ✨

Whenever I read 'choreography' all it hink is Shinee and NCT (I just feel like them)
But when it's abt 'synchronized' it must be Seventeen and Shinee 😌

Seventeen has one of the most unique choreo's, they wouldn't fail to include sign languages in their choreos. And also their dances aren't only based on the beats of the songs, it's also inspired from the lyrics itself. They practice hours upon hours just to have a synchronized & wonderful output. Seventeen really has that passion for their work & their music.

The best choreography for me is NCT, Seventeen, and Stray Kids

Most of the clips is SHINee, kings of k-pop
+ SM is the best at making choreography

SHINee setting the bar high resulting in a culture of idols serving entertainment feasts for us fans 😍
Can't imagine the hard work that goes into NCT and SVT's dances sincd they have to synchronize so many ppl.
Kudos also to their choreographers and backup dancers.

The 7th sense is one of the most underrated song, choreo, MV and debut ever. It’s pure perfection and it deserved MUCH more recognation.

i mean
Cherry Bomb, THE SEVENTH SENSE, First and Last, Chewing Gum, WE YOUNG, GO, SIMON SAYS...
NCT is literally Neo Culture Technology. their choreos are the best

Question: *What makes a choreography pleasing and entertaining to watch?*
1. *Detail-oriented* (has lots of intricate and subtle movements)
2. *Lyrical* (there are movements or formations that connects to the song)
3. *Clean* (there is cohesiveness in levels especially in jumps and the placing of hands, arms, feet, etc. This can also includes symmetrical formations)
4. *Unique and has some acrobatics* (but take note that acrobatics do not necessarily make a better choreo)
5. *Has imageries* (this what makes a choreo unique and lyrical)
6. *Expressive* (good facial expression, I'd prefer to say that there's acting in the choreo)
Question: *What makes a group known for their choreographies and dancing skills as a whole?*
1. Same energy (at least one or no member is off esp. with choreos that require lots of energy)
2. Incredible body control (especially with small, intricate movements, and isolation)
3. Everyone shines (not only the center/s shine)
4. Can pull off any of own choreographies which makes viewers unable or hard to tell who the main or lead dancers are
5. Versatile (have explored different kinds of dance---could be hiphop, urban, contemporary, musical, etc... and this also determine if a group can be able to show their individual styles because each or some member may excel in a particular type of dance)
6. Maximizes the number of members
So what group has the following above?
My answer: *SEVENTEEN*
They are known for being experimental and that's what makes them apart from the other groups because they don't follow trends. Their comebacks are different from one to another. Their choreos are known for *story-telling* so their dances are lyrical and detailed. They do both big movements and small movements but still maintained the cleanliness and the beauty of their choreos. Personally, the most detailed, balanced, and yet artistic choreo I've seen from them (literally in the whole Kpop industry) is their *Fallin' Flower* choreo. This choreo requires ALMOST all since it is a vocal and rap-centric song: small and big movements, slow and fast pacing, unique and creative because of imageries, and most of all, lyrical. Most of their choreos are lyrical and expressive which I personally like when watching a choreo: Mansae, Pretty U, Very Nice, Don't Wanna Cry, etc. Their choreos were the main reason why I stanned them (I just later appreciate their vocals, visuals, and craziness).
Hats off also to this group: *ASTRO.* I don't know much about this group but since I'm fond of watching dance choreographies, I could say that this group also possesses the qualities I mentioned above in their choreos. They are incredible dancers especially that their dances are mostly contemporary, and contemporary dances are one of the most difficult to pull-off dances. Even Cha Eunwoo, who I find the weakest dancer for me, can still dance well along with the members.
Aside from the two mentioned, I personally watch these groups' choreos a lot. I just can't include them as my answer since I noticed that they haven't explored many dances that much and most of them stick to sharp and edgy choreos (mostly dark). I'm not pertaining to all groups to be mentioned below but at least, I'm looking for a group that I would clearly see how they could perform different types of genre. Unfortunately, these groups haven't made it YET as for my analyses. Please, don't ever think that I'm trying to say that they are not good. I find them good too (I would not watch them often if not). And I would say that some of their dance lines are the best in the Kpop industry and are even better than that of SVT's and ASTRO's. Anyway, I learned SOME of their choreos.
*Stray Kids*
*The Boyz*
*Verivery*
*NCT* (mostly 127 and Dream--has the best dance line in Kpop)
*A.C.E*
*GOT7*
*TXT*
*BTS* (their old choreos, 2013-2017--has the best dance line in Kpop)
*SHINee* (give me breath, Taemin!)
*Super Junior* (their early songs, 2005-2012. Sorry it's too personal, I was first an ELF and their choreographies alongside SHINee got me to Kpop way back 2013)
*Infinite*
*Golden Child* (just some)
*Pentagon* (just some)
*EXO* (just some esp. when they were still 12--and *The Eve*. Kai is one of the best main dancers in Kpop)
*Monsta X (just some)
*Girl Groups:*
BLACKPINK (not a Blink but I watch them often comparing to other ggs. Maybe Lisa is just killin' me with her dancing skill)
Gfriend (the best for me in gg)
IZ*ONE (beautiful formations)
ITZY
LOONA (sometimes. I personally like their Cherry Bomb, so swag)
TWICE (watched and learned their choreos most, but I'm not fond of their choreos)
Red Velvet (I just appreciate them more with their vocals--but I love their choreos, too)
Girls' Generation
Pristin
If you happen to read this comment up to here, a big THANKS! If you're going to say your own opinion, please do it in a respectful way. Anyway, these are my fandoms: *Carat* and *Melody* (was an ELF and Reveluv--I just don't follow SuJu and RV a lot recently).

Seventeen always impresses. Best decision I made is stanning these talented kings.

Boy Groups: SEVENTEEN and NCT
Girl Groups: Dreamcatcher and GFRIEND

Seventeen and NCT have the absolute best choreography I’ve ever seen. And the fact that the 7th sense was NCT U’s DEBUT SONG!?!? You will never catch these groups lacking

i think svt 'thanks' is my favorite choreogeaphy ever. the whole concept is beautiful and thought out and the execution is pretty perfect

Nct is more on individuality they are not focusing on synchronization but rather they allow every member to shine with their own unique style. Thats why every NCT members are really great dancer. Not to mention their vocals and rapping also visuals.

my favs: seventeen, nct, stray kids, ateez, the boyz
seventeen: amazing intricate choreography and they’re amazingly synchronized. they use their power in numbers to make beautiful images and powerful performances. hoshi is rlly a genius choreographer and he choreographs with their fans in mind and adds small details and hidden meanings like the sign language for thank you in “thanks” and when they held their pinkies at the end bc of their team rings omg literally perfection. their performances are always so entertaining and their nickname of “the theatre kids of kpop” fits them perfectly. the energy they put in and their stage presence takes you on the story of their songs and they deserve every best male dance performance award they’ve ever received
nct: it’s just so weird but it looks good. they have very amazing dancers that just catch your eye and just have unique wtf is that choreos that are iconic. their dances look hard but they make it look easy at the same time?? every unit’s performances are always amazing and when all 1000000 of the members dance together its somehow even better
stray kids: they always have very fun or powerful choreos. skz uses each member and showcases them and they have amazing stage presence that gives their performances so much added flare and you just can’t help but love them and their performance because you can just tell they love what they’re doing also the ✨duality✨ is crazy
ateez: the POWER and ENEGY is insane especially san like he dances as if he was possessed by a demon and it’s amazing. you can see their teamwork when they dance and they never fail to make me amazed with their performance. i love the small quirks in their dances and their amazing songs makes the performance even more intriguing
the boyz: they also use their strength in numbers and are known for their performances. they have so much trust in each other which allows them to do crazy amazing stunts and it just makes their performance so lovable. their performances on road to kingdom are my favorite because they rlly show off their dancing skills and showcase their versatility throughout their stages. they aren’t afraid to take risks and they blend so well together as well as individually standing out at the same time and have great synchronization and have a lot of versatility

"shinee paved the way"

Shinee is iconic asf, Seventeen sharp asf, and NCT innovative and impactful asf.
Also thank you for including BP's floor dance, istg I have seen NO ONE do it like that.

The choreography’s first chorus in seventeen’s “don’t wanna cry” is so addicting, I want to learn it!

its not a best choreo vid without the legends: svt, nct and skz

I feel like NCT and Seventeen are the most innovative with their choreographies!

Personally, SEVENTEEN, NCT, STRAY KIDZ and SHINee have some of the most amazing choreos in k pop boy groups, they're just immaculate 😫

When you can tell the person who made this video is an actual dancer with knowledge of different dances and performances because they're critiquing a group's dance not based on how hard it looks or how popular it is, but how hard it actually is to execute well. Sure, there are times where stage presence is considered (not to say that isn't an important aspect of dance), but these are all instances where actual skill and team work are needed. And those people who make videos as I've previously mentioned are fully in their right to make them, it's just sometimes choreographies look extremely hard, but in reality aren't. And that's not the fault of anyone, it's just that dancers or people with some knowledge of dance can pick out things that non-dancers can't.

cherry bomb definitely was THAT choreo and even though it’s not in the video i would’ve loved to see outros of hala hala and wonderland by ateez bc those were super gooddd

Seriously. NCT's 7th sense need more recognition. It is so underrated.
*Edit*
Thank you so much guys for the likes

Cherry bomb is so weird and perfect in almost every aspect of it (in my opinion) like the it never stops evolving while carrying addicting patterns, the rap is my favorite in kpop as a whole, the lyrics sounds so dumb and so cool, the color of each vocalist and this choreo that you talked so well about..
All of this in one song! This is still so fresh, relevant and addictive to me like 3or 4 years later ?? Masterpiece.

Omg Sherlock 2x on weekly idol was so frickin epic - reminds me of when I was anxiously waiting for SHINee's comeback in secondary school and seeing their lives for the first time 😭

Getting closer... Every time I see this MV the choreo is becoming more and more incredible, how is that even possible!
Edit: Wow thanks for the likes!

"So weird but it looks good"
Basically almost every NCT's choreography

ASTRO

seventeen are my absolute ults but even i agree that cherry bomb is such a freaking good choreo its insane

cherry bomb is one of the most iconic choreographies ever, words can not explain how shocked and impressed I was when I first saw that split formation.

Not gonna lie. There is just One Song that just sounds nothing like the rest.
7th sense - NCT U. Sounds so different from the rest of tbe songs.

Shinee will always be legendary❤❤

when thinking of Astro's choreographies, I thought that the intro of Hide & Seek would be included in visually satisfying category. But yeahh nevermind, their paraglide in Breathless is indeed satisfying. And their Hide & Seek intro is indeed unique. All of their choreo actually are satisfying, very sync, almost all of Astro's dance steps are unique and original 💜✨

The 7th Sense is singlehandedly the most difficult choreo I’ve ever attempted! it’s so wild and so hard to perfect that vibe! perfect

Fun fact: For seventeen's thanks, if the camera was on top, You would seen them spell out "T H X" along with the sign language and
Shinee's sherlock choreography changed the whole kpop industry

Sherlock choreography is a masterpiece!!, And I was thinking that Cherry Bomb was going to be number one, and BAM!, it was number one!!, that choreo is insane, really really well done, amazing, it's just WOW!! :)

It feels so good to see a lot of shinee in this video. Also, it's always so satisfying seeing svt dance

NCT hands down has the most unique choreography ever seen in kpop

I really liked nct’s cherry bomb and black on black choreography. Complete MASTERPIECES!

I’m so happy to see Astro finally getting recognized they are so amazing and talented the synchronization is on fire really STAN ASTRO 💜💜

loved seeing JJP in here, such an underrated song & choreo!

ok but for me the best choreographies belong to: Seventeen, Nct, Ateez and lord Taemin.

Seventeen is so talented and the fact that they are involved in doing their choreography in their songs is just mindblowing. Their songs may not be always hardcore but their dances are superior. Don't wanna cry, Home, Falling Flower is not a fast song but their choreographies are lit. Their dances tell a story not just having hard movements and crazy footwork but they also have it. Synchronization is crazy and perfect. I believe they are one of the best dancing groups in kpop.

choreos for big groups are so satisfying to look at🤚🏻😩

Not a NCTzen or Carat(soon to be) but they have best choreography 🥰. Yes so good to see Shinee here😍 as Shawol 💕💖heart

if the whole nct is considered as a group THEN WHERE IS BLACK ON BLACK

SOMEBODY'S FINALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW NCT DOES THEIR CHOREOS KSJSJSKS AND OFC SM ENT PRIDE FOR HAVING BEST DANCERS

Don't want to cry is just so pleasing to your eyes. I can't look away, it's so mesmerizing.

❤Kpop legend and dance Кing is LEE TEMIN👑, an idol iconic person for other idols. The choreography is amazing Taemin's: ADVICE, MOVE, CRIMINAL, IDEA, DANGER, FAMOUS, ACE, Syonara Hitory, Press your number, Lucifer, Sherlock(Shinee) You have to be blind not to see.

I agree with you....Cherry Bomb had to be number 1 !!

why no one talking about NCT Black on Black?

9:45 actually i don't know if many people know about this, but if you look at this choreo from an upper angle/view, you'll see that during this part specifically (the one where they show thank you in korean sign language), they also form the letters "T H X" as the few members stand up one by one. for example, at 9:45 itself, they form "T, then at 9:47 they form "H", and at 9:48 they form "X". honestly it's a bit difficult to view in a straight angle but you can see it from a higher angle.

The reason Taemin's Move isn't here is bc it's both unique and visually pleasing 😌
