I’m analyzing and discussing kpop dance through the lens of my knowledge/experience in commercial, open/fusion style choreography and various “street styles”. Because of my background in multiple styles I also want to acknowledge that there are different, often contradicting opinions among dancers on even the most fundamental aspects of dance. Different dance scenes, cultures and styles have different approaches, care about different things and have different technical demands.

About my rankings: There is no objective, agreed upon scale or list of criteria that one can follow, at least not for ever changing styles like the ones seen in kpop. Dance is an art form and many dancers don’t believe in rankings and ratings at all (and you don’t have to, either). I am trying to assess to what extent an idol has “mastered” the different technical elements that are needed for commercial or open style choreography and how functional their overall technique is.

    Thanks for the video. My opinion? Lee Know is the best 4th gen dancer. Mainly, he doesn't overdance or underdance. And he's 100% till the end of the show!

    Please tell these youtubers that despite being the 2nd in maknae line and the fact that she learned dancing in YG, Rora is the best dancer after ruka asa and haram due to her super smooth and clean execution. It is just that she dont get center part cuz some members are more applealing .

    Finally someone points this out about Taemin he lacks some hip hop fundamentals I've also noticed how he keeps his arms close to his body, to me it gives the impression that he's dancing in "tiny" 😆 definitely affects his moves

    Ruka dancing is crazy but I don’t think bm would earn the best dancer group in 5 th gen some times it hard to know the main dancer there are times where the other members stand out in dance and rap Han her like my friends think rami should be the main dancer and asa lead but I don’t know for me I think asa is good ruka is too but she dosent give the energy that much
