YouTuber techie_ray made a video in which he used a machine-learning algorithm to determine how consistent these male K-Pop main dancers are.
The app he uses the similarity between dances. He finds videos of the idols dancing to the same song and uses the machine learning app to check how consistent they are between performances. They can then compare how consistent their performances are and find who is the best main dancer. He downloaded two videos of the dancer dancing the same choreography and then drag and drop the videos into the app. His app then synchronises the videos, checks similarity between videos, and produces the consistency score.
Here are the main dancers he checked, ranked by their percentage score.
9. Hyunjin (Stray Kids)
Hyujin received a score of 74.19%. With his long legs, he mesmerizes the crowd with every move. As he is still a rookie, it is already impressive he is as consistent as he is, and people expect him to get better the more he promotes and practices.
The app said that he gives a solid stage and that he must have practiced really hard.
8. Jimin (BTS)
Jimin received a score of 75.13%. The creator of the video comments that Jimin's dance style is ethereal, as he shows emotions through all of his movements whether it be soft moves or harsh moves.
The app said that he gives a solid stage and that he must have practiced really hard. The creator noted that Jimin usually dances modern dance which is highly expressive, so variations in each performance are natural.
7. Kai (EXO)
Kai received a score of 76.37%. The creator of the video commented that Kai is a "literal beast" on stage and has made it known that EXO is his favorite group.
The app said that he gives a solid stage and that he must have practiced really hard. Similar to Jimin, Kai's style is very expressive which can cause some movements to vary.
6. Taeyong (NCT)
Taeyong received a score of 78.43%. The maker of the video jokes that Taeyong has won the gene lottery since 1995, as he is not only a skilled dancer but also a skilled rapper and vocalist.

5. Shownu (MONSTA X)
Shownu received a score of 79.65%. It's noted in the video that Shownu is very tall, yet he manages to pull off his moves well. When you are taller, moves are usually harder to hit because of your limbs, but he seems to do it with ease. The fancams used involve other members in some frames, but his app automatically ignores them to focus on Shownu.
The app said that he gives a solid stage and that he must have practiced really hard. The creator that his score might have been lowered since there were times other member's limbs blocked parts of Shownu, which could have confused the algorithm.
