there have been a few instances where we got to see dance do solo dances but i think this performance video made him be able to showcase his dance skills pretty well! i'm in awe because even tho i know he is a great dancer i feel like this performance made me appreciate his talent even more and how much he has improved through the years! it was SO him down to the atmosphere created, to the set and also he was able to fit in the choreo so well and show his own interpretation of it. i am just in awe of how far he has come as a dancer individually! while him dancing with ateez is great, him solo dancing is also as captivating and great i just hope we get to see it more in the future

okay, I was going to do this in the tags but it got too long. I’m not tagging the other idol because I don’t want this to become a competition between fans of the two. I just want to point out the differences in presentation because I live for that kind of shit.
The other idol is doing an idol challenge. San is Performing. It makes a HUGE visual difference. It’s not really fair to compare the two - but we’re going to do it anyway.
Let’s just start with set up. San’s in black. It’s going to make him dramatic looking when he moves and his background is full of those black and grey contrasting horizontals. It makes any move he makes really pop because its going to cut right through those horizontals in pitch black. It’s going to naturally look dramatic and dynamic. Just look at the opening screen of the two of them before anyone even moves.
The other idol, who shall remain nameless because - fans, is dressed in baggy muted sweats. The colors are soft, the background he’s against is also soft. It’s a dark grey and the lines, barely there, all run vertical. Already the background is urging your eyes to look up and down instead on in a flow from side to side and the guy isn’t wearing anything stark enough to pull your attention back to him. I’m not saying its sloppy, I’m just saying he’s standing in a music room about to do a challenge and San’s in a studio set up to perform and so the idol is already at a disadvantage. (btw I don’t know what kinds of rooms they’re really in, I’m just using those words to set up the idea of the differences)
Then they start moving. It’s obvious the other idol is good. He’s got the moves down, he’s fluid in his transitions. There’s no hesitation between parts. He knows what he’s doing and he’s doing it well. He’s an experienced and seasoned idol who knows his craft.
He’s not San.
San isn’t dancing. San is performing. Yes, he’s performing a dance but he’s still doing more than just following the moves. San is also fluid, knows the moves, has the beat and the rhythm down. But San is flaring his moves. He’s intentionally making them stand out and then fitting them together. He POPS the body shifts so that you notice them. When he stretches out a leg he fully stretches so you’re aware of the move. The knee lift goes higher, the leg extension goes further, the arms move further away from the body on the moves. He’s not afraid to move his feet and lose his stability, not afraid to almost over-extend his reaches because he knows he can pull back in time for the next move. You see his throat flash a lot. He’s just as aware of his head and face placement as he is of his body’s and he’s confident that he can add it in and keep track of it and keep everything flowing. San’s whole body dancing and he’s aware he’s using his whole body. San’s not using the memorized moves, he’s utilizing the song’s beat.
San’s telling a story.
In the end, that’s what it comes down to. They’re both very good at their craft. You’re just comparing apples to oranges.
You’re comparing an actor to a storyteller.

NCT Dream when they're jealous at your interaction with a male k-idol.
AN: This time, I added specific male idols to spice up a little bit, AND in this scenario, dreamies and reader are in a secret relationship instead. ^^ I also spin the wheel in this one LMAOOO so the idols are random
Mark Lee
You had a small collab stage with Treasure's Jihoon. It's a dance performance and while it's not that intimate, (you two just danced together, that's it.) it's enough to think that you two enjoyed the collab stage because at the end of the performance, you two looked at each other and smiled. On the backstage, Mark was watching it with arms crossed, and lips tightly sealed. The Dreamies are teasing him for being jealous even though he tries to deny it numerous times.
Huang Renjun
Your group are in the same table with Enhypen. There's so much awkwardness with the two groups, when camera suddenly shifted to you and Enhypen's Jake, making the crowd screamed. You only waved and so did Jake. THEN the camera shifted to Renjun who's staring angrily at the void. Of course, the crowd screamed again that's when Renjun noticed that the camera's on him, he quickly smiled at wave, brushing off the feeling of jealousy that he's FARRRRR away from you. When you two met, you teased Renjun for being jealous.
Lee Jeno
You and Bang Chan from Stray Kids went viral because of his manners. Your group sat in front of Stray Kids, and all of you were wearing knee-length dresses. You're the leader that's why you let your members wear the blankets provided. Bang Chan noticed it and was quick to notify the staff for another blanket, and when he received it, he gave it to you. It only took the news to be viral for Jeno to learn about it. "If only we were near you, I would've give you my coat instead," he said and you only laughed because his jealousy is showing.
Lee Donghyuck
"Was the conversation fun?" Haechan taunted when you met him backstage. You raised an eyebrow, but then remember that the camera caught you and Riize's Eunseok having a conversation. You mean no harm since you and Eunseok are under SM and was close when you two were trainees. "Take your jealousy somewhere Hyuck," you taunted back at your boyfriend, knowing how to fight back with his pettiness. In the end, Haechan apologizes and admits that he was jealous.
Na Jaemin
"Here," you turned around and saw Jaemin holding a confetti. "He didn't removed all of it," he added. You suddenly remember that Ateez Mingi removed the confetti from your hair. You noticed it and thanked him as a courtesy. "He's trying to hit on you," Jaemin pouts. You only laughed at your sulking boyfriend, hugging him and assuring him that it was nothing for him to worry about.
Zhong Chenle
The Boyz was performing and when it was Juyeon's part, it suddenly shifted to you who's clapping and singing along the song. You were surprised but tried to play it off and ignoring the camera. It did sparked rumors and gain shippers, but it did made your boyfriend jealous "It should been our performance." he said. You told him that there's nothing to be jealous about.
Park Jisung
You're the host of the show along with TXT' Soobin, the script was written with the intention of you two having a lot of interactions. So during the award show, you two interacted A LOT and it did gain a lot of reactions from the public, saying that you two had a lot of chemistry. But what's surprising was that Soobin tried to hit on you after the show. "That's nice," Jisung bitterly said as you show him the text message. "But you're taken already." He teases. "Of course I am," you smiled, giving Jisung a bear hug.
