I like Apink but... (1 Viewer)

How come they never get criticized for their basic and easy choreography?

Their last three songs have been masterpieces but the dance routines have been on f(x) Pinocchio level. Very simple.

I wish they would put a little more pep in their step.

Why over complicate the dance moves, just for the sake of making it hard?

Choreography difficulty doesn't determine how good and appropriate the choreo looks for the song they are performing.

Because they are queens.

If that's true then maybe Itzy can take it easy on their next comeback.

I think it's a little different for ITZY because they were specifically formed to be a dance focused group. tbh I don't know why JYP bothered adding Lia, she stands out like a sore thumb is their choreo and they don't bother to keep her vocals in mind when writing their songs anyway...

I feel like that isn't really Apink's thing and you have to think that they're getting older now and probably spending more time of other projects so they're not gonna have a ton of time to learn super complex stuff plus at this point in their careers what have they got left to prove by doing a super hard choreo? They're already once of the longest running active girl groups in the industry and they're still making hit songs which I can't think of any other group besides Wonder Girls that was doing that this late into their career. Apink have always been a super public friendly group so as long as the songs are good and everything looks nice, why should they worry?

Honestly? Their choreography isn't the focus and never really has been--the moves that they DO use with their music fit the mood pretty perfectly. The "Eung Eung" dance fucking HIT

Not every group is Itzy ; their dancing line is weak...

 

[Bopper]

Apink have never been one for difficult choreo. If anything their whole laid back, go at their own pace kinda thing has helped them to last over nine years. Nowadays groups feel like they need to go hard on choreo in order to impress, sometimes it takes over the music to the point where you don’t even bother listening.

 

[Abeamus]

Apink don't get criticised because it's never been a selling point for them and it's like criticising Mamamoos dancing or Red Velvet on their rap which stuff like that only really becomes a point when looking at all around talent which Apink never get mentioned for anyway.

Doubt they weak by any means...





Anyway apink actually won dance of the year before, believe it or not. Their dance is "catchy" and way more aesthetically pleasing than so many "difficult" choreographies. Similar to what twice used to be like before their choreography's difficulty raised a bit last year. They kept being praised for dance moves actually, older Kpop fans remember that.

Well itzy probably needs the fierce choreography because they lack a golden vocal like Eunji or a vocal line as strong as Apink's.
Also a "difficult" choreo isn't something that members can't pull off. Gfriend for example is a group that even it's main dancer doesn't get much credit but all their members manage to dance the sharp choreography.
Or lets say, I don't consider myself a great dancer but still memorise and perform itzy choreographies (Maybe bit more time-consuming than Apink's). Nothing unachievable, unlike vocals

 

[spicy_illusion]

They don't need to do hard and complicated choreography. Certain groups are known and thrive for their choreography like Gfriend and Dreamcatcher and certain groups can thrive on the simplicity and easy to learn choreography which suits the group as a whole.
This is why I hate it when BG fans criticise GG's for not doing as hard choreography as your average BG because sometimes it doesn't suit the group at all.
Why do a complicated choreo when the song would not match it? It makes absolutely no sense.

 

[dooh]

I think it's a little different for ITZY because they were specifically formed to be a dance focused group.

Where did you get that, would be new to me, or did I miss something?

That was the info coming out of JYP before debut. They were apparently being inspired by a jpop girl group but I can’t remember their name right now.

This does not prove anything, Just because one member is an average dancer doesn't mean the rest of the members can follow along to this cheorgraphy... All of the ITZY members are good dancers.

I don't see itzy's choreography more difficult than what she is performing like at all tbh. Most groups can follow along a difficult choreography even if they are not all great dancer. An example would be Gfriend or even Red Velvet. Can Itzy members hit a high note like Eunji's in "I don't know" though? Definitely not.

 

[amourpinks]

It’s not their main point. Apink were never a group with the best dancers in the industry and never had strong choreos tbh. They make up for it when it comes to vocals and their music. Theyre an older group and they’re still releasing hit after hit, so really who cares about the dance.

 

[eclipsoul]

i personally couldn't care less for the choreography as long as the song is good. while we're at it, their choreographies might seem easy but even 4 months after its release i still don't know how they did this move at 0:29-0:32 in dumhdurum

I shall reiterate my earlier point: what other girl groups were almost 10 years into their careers and still making hits like this???

Well this thread isn't about vocal it's about cheorgraphy. Even this girl isn't as good and sharp as the ITZY girls.
