IVE, ITZY and aespa compare choreography: One side is the main dancer, the other side is as weak as training?

The choreography of Kpop girl groups is always a favorite topic of fans.

Gorgeous outfits, addictive songs, and amazing variety shows are part of the magic formula that makes K-pop entertainment so appealing. But there is still another important factor that makes you want to get up and immerse yourself in this special music world, and that is K-pop choreography.

It can be said that in the Gen 4 girl group, IVE and aespa are the two hottest names at the moment. Both girl groups have things in common such as possessing an attractive lineup, and having new generation "IT Girls" elements such as Karina and Jang Wonyoung. However, aespa - IVE also has shortcomings in terms of performance and choreography. Compared to ITZY in terms of stage performance, fans think that IVE and aespa are not "rivals" of the JYP girl group.

ITZY

Since their debut, ITZY has been famous for their excellent choreography. In ITZY's 5-member lineup, there are 3 members who possess dance-line skills, including Yeji, Ryujin, and Chaeryeong. The youngest Yuna is not the main dancer, but the dance is also very impressive. Thanks to 4/5 members who are strong in choreography, ITZY's performances have never disappointed fans.

ITZY was chosen by Knet as the best dancing idol because at least 3 "pieces" are more than enough to be the main dancer of another group

The attraction of ITZY is that each member has a different dance style but performs the choreography evenly and in harmony. Yeji is neat, strong and technically inclined; Ryujin is strong, strong in popping; Chaeryeong is smooth, flexible.

Thanks to its strength in dance, ITZY also often invests in dance break stages, scoring strong points with the audience at award ceremonies. Good performance is also a factor that makes ITZY's songs "easier" for non-fans. Many people said that when they watch the MV or listen to the audio version, they are not too impressed, but when they watch ITZY perform live, they "fall out".

aespa

Contrary to ITZY, the choreography is a rather... bland part of aespa. In the group, Karina holds the position of main dancer, but is often controversial because of her clumsy dance style and movements like "remembering the lesson". In the stage combining Gen 4 dancers at MAMA 2021, Karina was criticized for being completely inferior to Yeji (ITZY) and other idols. Karina's background is vocal, not a dance specialist, and she only received dance training for 2 years before debuting. When dancing, Karina is always tense, uncomfortable "feeling" the music. Therefore, it is understandable why Karina cannot reach the level of a true dancer.

aespa sings well but the performance is often underrated

The other aespa members weren't impressed with the dancing either. Winter dances quite well but suffers from weak strength, small body, does not create "eye-catching" visuals when dancing. Meanwhile, Giselle is the "hole" of the group's choreography, often dancing slow and out of place with the aespa lineup.

Some stages such as at MAMA 2021 or Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade, Giselle made the audience extremely disappointed because of her lazy dance moves that did not match the music. Perhaps because of a dance defect, SM did not dare to invest in aespa with spectacular dance break stages, causing the group to be criticized for their tedious performance, "repeat 100 stages as 1" at the end of last year. .

IVE

If aespa has vocals that make up for the lack of choreography, then IVE... doesn't get any points! Starship's rookie girl group, although it has not been long since their debut, is constantly "on the cutting board" because of their controversial performance skills. It is not difficult to understand, because IVE inherently does not have an official main dancer. IVE has a lineup of 6 girls who are all pretty and bright, but the choreography is criticized, each member dances 1 way, sometimes it's like... training for nourishment.

IVE's choreography is also very "wow"

Typically Wonyoung, who is always absorbed in "doing the dance" when performing without paying attention to the dance. The excessively "shady" performance style makes Wonyoung become lost many times. She was also "stoned" for dancing superficially, keeping her hair in place but refusing to shake her head vigorously. The 3 members, Yujin, Leeseo and Gaeul are the best dancers in the group, but their level is hard to compare with the top main dancer Gen 3, or rival ITZY.
