The author said:

"When it comes to dancing, he seems to be the best among male idols."

The OP supplemented their statement by explaining:

"This is the first time that I've seen someone who can do everything... His dance line is a fxking work of art... When I see other kids who can dance well, I often think, 'Wow, they dance well,' and it ends here. But for this guy, I'm always, 'Wow, what is this? Wow, how can he be like this? Wow, he's crazy."

"I've seen countless great dancers, but he's really different. It's amazing how he's a good dancer when his visuals don't give off that feeling. It's just amazing that he can digest any song like it's his, no matter what challenge you ask him to do."

Lastly, the OP expressed disappointment that he remains "underrated" due to poor promotion of Starship Entertainment.

"It's just a shame how it seems like he can't be popular because of his company."

  • "Song Hyeongjun is really not my ultimate bias, but he is the only male idol I look after. His dance line is really my taste and he is really, really good. He's just so good that I was like, 'wow' when I first saw him... And then… he was so good at it that I even saw him cover it live with the choreography, and he was really good at it."
  • "I don't know about anything else, but I think he's one-top if you limit it to 4th and 5th generations. I don't remember anyone who dances better than him at all."
  • "I saw him during a music show and he was the best dancer among the 4th generation. At that time, there were also TXT Yeonjun and RIIZE Shotaro, but they couldn't keep up with Song Hyeongjun's dance moves. He is the only person in my life who felt like a genius. Check out the smoke challenge this time. It's crazy."

Why Some K-Netz Disagree That Hyeongjun is Top K-pop Dancer

Meanwhile, plenty of people stated that claiming that Hyeongjun is a top dancer is "too ambitious."

  • "It's cool hahaha so if you are good at girl group dances, are you considered one-top? Then Jo Kwon and Key should also be on top."
  • "I asked who this person was, and he is from Starship. It turned out he was from a company that uses reverse viral tactics."
  • "I agree that he's good, but I don't think he's one-top."

  • "Is he viral? What can I say when you left out Taeyong and Kai."
  • "One-top? No, there is Shotaro and Hoshi."
  • "First of all, let's bring in Jimin, Taemin and Kai together."
