Whenever a group gears up for a comeback, one thing fans always look forward to is the dance practice. It's the chance to see the dance in its entirety, without any flashy camera movements or zooms. Whether people use it to learn the dance or just for casually viewing, it's an important part of K-pop promotions.
Here are the eight best boy group dance practice videos, according to Korean netizens.
1. "The Eve" - EXO
"The Eve" was released as a B-side of "The War" album in 2017. The boys released the dance practice video on July 18 of that year and is a fan-favorite to this day, with people loving how slow and sensual the song and dance are in comparison to the title track.
2. "THANKS" - SEVENTEEN
Often hailed as "Kings of Synchronization," SEVENTEEN released "Thanks" on February 5, 2018. The song was made to thank their Carats for always sticking by them, and the choreography itself has special symbolism, including saying "thank you" in sign language for potential deaf fans who still love SEVENTEEN.
3. "HIT" - SEVENTEEN
"HIT" was released on August 5, 2019 and is known as one of SEVENTEEN's most difficult dances to dance. The choreography truly lives up to its name, as the boys pull of sharp, hard hitting moves throughout the duration of the song.
4. "Good To Me" - SEVENTEEN
"Good To Me" was released on January 21, 2019. The song was a b-side to "Home" but happened to be a crowd favorite. SEVENTEEN once again showed their chemistry as a group, pulling off the choreography flawlessly.
5. "Getting Closer" - SEVENTEEN
"Getting Closer" was released on January 21, 2019, but was teased to fans a little bit prior to its official release. The choreography for the track is a favorite even for non-fan and showed SEVENTEEN pulling off a tougher, more intense concept. Fans loved how it contrasted from "Home", which is more of a soft, calming song.
6. "Black on Black" - NCT
NCT released the dance practice video of "Black on Black" on April 18, 2018. It resonated with fans as it was the first song to feature all the members of NCT at the time, and despite there being 18 people dancing together, they were in sync and pulled of unique formations.
7. "BOSS" - NCT U
SM Entertainment released the dance practice video of "BOSS" on February 27, 2018. The song featured challenging choreography that the boys pulled off effortlessly, staying in sync throughout the whole video. This was also the public's chance to see new members Jungwoo and Lucas' dancing to the fullest.
8. "BOOMBOOM" - SEVENTEEN
We end the list with yet another SEVENTEEN song! This may be the oldest dance practice on the list, released back in 2016. Despite that, it's still a crowd favorite, as the boys danced and moved as one, proving to us why they are known as one of the best idol groups at dancing.
