what do u think of newjeans’ ditto choreo?

dms with @kafffeesatz included to make this explanation faster lol. there are parts of the choreo i like a lot, like how there's a lot of emphasis on 1+4 asymmetrical formations, which isn't a super common sight in kpop, and the opening and closing images. but also the song is......a challenge. it relies kind of heavily on the interplay of these very lackadaisical vocals with this very omnipresent driving almost doubletime beat, and that interplay is very hard to choreograph for when you don't have a skilled dancer, bc they don't have a way to visually portray that interplay. so you either end up with something that's too slow for the beat, or fits the beat but still doesn't feel like it fits the song, the latter of which is what they ended up going for. like i said, i don't think the choreo itself in isolation is bad, but the fact that it had to be for 16yros is what ended up hampering it in the long run.
