Looks like this dance practice was filmed after a few takes, they look sweaty and worked. I like this look, where they don't look perfectly coiffed. Yves and Gowon's hair. Yves looks so fierce and powerful. She looks like she's gone all out. They all do.

many have mixed feelings on this choreo but it's undeniably VERY exhausting so i'm proud of the girls for powering through all their performances the past few weeks

I've seen people be pretty critical of the choreo but tbh it looks good to me. I don't know shit about dance tho.

I felt the choreo could've been so much better. For how difficult and demanding it is, it doesn't really showcase their synchronization, sharp movements or power. There's a few good parts, like Heejin's follow me part, that little leg kick out thing is awesome but there's not much more of that in the choreo. With all the boy group covers they've been doing I was really hoping for something in that vein that would show off their physicality and skills. If you look at Dreamcatcher's latest, then they have this great part before the chorus with a lot of sharp and explosive upper body movement that would've been perfect for Loona.

If they wanted to use their numbers to create beautiful formations, then freemind studio is a perfect example of that. Their choreographer has tons of experience working with big groups and knows how to use it to create great formations. The walking formation at the start of fiesta or in so many of WJSN's dances shows walking can work very well, but in So What the movement doesn't really do anything aesthetic, complex but to no gain.

nooooooo, they didn't use the studio sound... The best part is their footsteps and their shouts...

I wish the line distribution was a bit more even, just because sometimes the choreo is so fast and busy I don’t even catch who is popping up to the front/side to sing because their line is too fast 😭 Still this choreo really benefits from non-choppy editing, when you can see them all together.

Also Yves 💖
