[artist of the month] 'motley crew' covered by blue.m han (하)
“after my injury, i wanted to come back stronger and better. i want to show a side of me that people haven’t seen yet. i don’t just want to meet peoples’ expectation of me — i want to exceed them.”
“hello, i’m the artist of the month for may, blue.m’s han!”
Q. thoughts on being artist of the month?
“it was very surprising, but i’m honoured. especially after seeing danny do it a few months back, i couldn’t believe that i’d been picked. i’m excited to show what i can do!”
xx.04.22, yuseong dance studio.
han sits in front of the mirror, sweating as he looks at the dance instructor for feedback. he hadn’t been in this room in almost a month, the push and pull of his muscles from disuse unfamiliar to the dancer.
“do you have it in you to do it again?” the instructor asks and, without answering, han gets back on his feet, counting an eight beat before throwing himself into the choreography once again.
Q. what inspired your choreography?
“during my break, i listened to post malone’s ‘motley crew’ a lot, and thought the song was catchy. it made me want to show a more powerful side of myself, that blossom doesn’t get to see often. i ended up making most of the choreography myself, so i hope you’ll enjoy it.”
xx.04.22, choreo practice
staring into the camera, han throws up finger hearts with a bubbly laugh. “ah, i missed this. the members are all home, but i’m sure hyunsoo will keep them alive while i practice. right, hyunsoo?” he laughs again, moving away from the camera.
phoenix’s god’s menu starts playing and han playfully imitates the choreography, before the dance instructor tells him to warm up. as he stretches, he groans and whines, but laughs it off with a smile as the instructor asks him if he’s somehow gotten longer during his break.
“should i change my hair before the shoot? i think i will. i’ve been blond for too long.”
Q. what does dancing mean to you?
“dancing is everything to me. i’ve never been great with words, but i’ve always felt like i could express myself through dance. the worst punishment to me would be to never be able to dance again. i really don’t know what i would do with myself if i didn’t have dancing in my life”
xx.05.22, blue.m dorm
han sits at his desk in his room, the dorms obviously empty as all the members are off doing god knows what. without anyone around, han has his headphones pushed down around his neck as he edits post malone’s ‘motley crew’, tinkering with the song a little to make it more suitable for his choreography. suddenly, his phone rings, causing him to jump and laugh once he checks the caller id.
“hyung!” danny’s voice is clear through the phone, making a warm smile form on han’s features. “danny-ah, do you have any advice for me of AOTM?”
“do what you always do, hyung! work hard, practice lots and blow us all away! but don’t rip your pants like that one time - and stay super hydrated - OH AND HAVE FUN!!” danny rambles on, as han’s ears redden and he laughs, quick to defend himself.
“it was one time and you still bring it up!”
“yeah, cause i don’t want you to go through it again!”
“oh my god.”
Q. how does it feel performing your own choreography?
“oh, it’s -- it’s a strange feeling, really. because i’m very proud of it, but i’m also the most critical of it, and of myself in general. like, if i didn’t have a specific deadline, i probably would’ve worked on it forever. the same thing happened when i was working on ‘shine’ -- i just want to give it my all and make sure it’s as perfect as it can be. i’m very proud of doing my own choreography, though.”
xx.05.22, in the car on the way to studio shoom
“ah, some of the members wanted to come with me to the shoot, but i think they’re all busy today.” han mused as he looked out the window, smiling softly before rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
“i tried to sleep lots last night, but i’m a little nervous, if i’m being honest. but i’ll still give it my all, and everything’s gonna go fine.” letting out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding, he threw a thumbs up at the camera. “fighting!”
Q. is there anything you’d like to say to blossom?
"ah, thank you for always being there, and supporting blue.m. thank you for supporting the boys through thick and thin, group activities and solo projects. everything we do, we do for you. i hope you watch my choreography for ‘motley crew’ and see a new side of me -- one you’ll find refreshing and exciting. i love you!”
