Soobin Reveals His Struggles While Mastering TXT's "Good Boy Gone Bad" Choreography
On May 9, TXT's "minisode 2: Thursday's Child" was officially released, along with the music video for the title song "Good Boy Gone Bad." Since then, the boy group has been promoting their new album on music shows, performing "Good Boy Gone Bad" and the B-side track "Opening Sequence."
While TXT's "Good Boy Gone Bad" involves intense movements, "Opening Sequence" is more like an interpretative dance.

In an interview with Weverse Magazine released on the 20th, TXT Soobin talked about what it's like practicing the choreography for both songs.
The group's leader said, "I like and am good at dances that require a lot of energy and have big movements. But 'Good Boy Gone Bad' was hard for me at first because the moves aren't big, you have to be relaxed."
Soobin added that the choreography includes a lot of movements that were completely different from what he's most confident of executing.
Regarding the choreography for TXT's "Opening Sequence," the male star stated that it isn't like the K-pop dancing he is used to. He added, "It's more like a contemporary dance, constantly flowing and with lots of parts where we stretch out our arms and legs."

Because the dance moves for both songs were new to TXT Soobin, it took him quite some time to master them. In fact, he revealed that he was still struggling to learn the choreography even after two days.
He shared, "Two days [passed] and I still haven't memorized it and it felt like my limbs were rejecting it. It really threw me for a loop while learning it."
But Soobin eventually mastered the choreography for TXT's "Good Boy Gone Bad" and "Opening Sequence," and he couldn't be happier about it as he feels like he learned some new moves, which he found fun.

As a follow-up question, Weverse Magazine asked him how he was able to overcome those difficulties in learning the steps.
TXT Soobin responded that there was nothing special behind it but just pure hard work. However, he later revealed that he also struggled in facial expressions.
He stated, "As for the facial expressions, they were the opposite of what I'm confident doing - for example, bright, smiley expressions - so it made me feel less confident and my self-esteem dropped."
In order to overcome this, Soobin said that he changed his mindset, explaining, "But I changed my mind by thinking that, 'If I could pull off such a punishingly difficult concept, then I would have the ability to pull off anything after that."
He added that he figured it could lead to either a slump or a turning point, so "I decided to use the album as a chance to change myself."
