Fandom 50 Post 10: Irene and Seulgi's intricate dance.

[glitteryv]

Back in mid-summer 2020, Red Velvet's Irene and Seulgi dropped a 6-song EP titled Monster. Aside from the lead single by the same name, they did a lot of promo for "Naughty". Irene & Seulgi were the first official subunit for Red Velvet and wow, did they make an impression!

A playful song with a good beat, "Naughty" is abt the push-and-pull within a relationship. I liked it fine. The MV though...wow

Lets's go to the dance practice

This dance style is called Tutting and is one that Irene & Seulgi did to such perfection that it almost feels like magic, you know?


The performances

I chose two because this first one (with Seulgi in black while Irene is in white) just left me on the floor.

Trigger warnings: usual Kpop music show camera movements + a lot of lights and flashes

While this OTHER ONE (with Seulgi in white while Irene is in black) has a less distracting background so we can all appreciate the precision and awesomeness of their movements.

I don't care much about the song but I agree that the choreography and performance are so much fun to watch!!!

[glitteryv]

I think it's a mostly fun song (though I must admit that it took me until a 2nd--if not 3rd--listen for it to click.) In any case, yeah, the choreo is wild!

[lirazel]

I don't dislike it! I just care way more about the choreo!

Naughty! THE QUEEN!!!!

[glitteryv]

Potentially shocking admission: I wish this had been the lead single instead of "Monster". Though I get the appeal of that other song, "Naughty" was actually the superior one. :P

[kat_lair]

oh the choreo is fascinating, i loved all the details

[glitteryv]

It's such a treat, really!

[bluedreaming]

I totally missed this b side performance; this is so cool!

[glitteryv]

Isn't it? I really wished we had seen more of that whole subunit. Alas.

[bluedreaming]

Hopefully we might still in the future!
