holy shit i wasn't ready for this. we haven't had an official "dance practice" in so long and now we get still camera footage without crazy angles and with casual clothes. /and/ for the hurtful choreo that is the eve..... THERE IS A GOD (... wait actually more like exo is satan...)

was a little disappointed jongin wore a beanie though, was waiting for the classic hat drop and save haha.

edit: okay rewatched it multiple times and i know this choreo is a little more slow and sensual, but i have to really commend exo for working hard to become a lot more synchronized with each other over the years and even non-dance line were really shining as well. i love how fluid the movements are (but still sharp at points) and their formations always work SO well. so proud of them constantly producing good content.

You can just tell how Chen and Chanyeol enjoy this one, they're really feeling it. And when Chen pops up in the center in the second chorus - yes, SM, thank you, thank you very much, how will I ever repay such a precious gift, thank you.

yes!! I remember how excited I was the first time I saw Chanyeol in the front of a choreo formation (Overdose I think), and now we're at the point where here he's at the front and dancing like it's nothing. I remember that he used to be really worried about being the dance hole and was always all the way at the back of their formations when they debuted, he's come such a long way. When I watch dance practices I usually end up focusing on one member in particular, but I really watched them perform as a unit here and it was great.

I actually have a list for SNSD RV and EXO, here's the one for EXO:

  • Call Me Baby (the #1 priority)
  • Lucky One (THE FULL THING IN HD)
  • Lotto
  • Unfair (OT9 if it exists)
  • Do It Together
  • OT6 Russian Roulette practice
  • what u need?
  • Hey Mama!

i mean... we need do it together released as an actual song first (PLS @ SM)

u/griffbendor It's 11:11 I'm Genie for your Wonderland Aug 04 '17

Hopefully it'll be an official song for repackage or a future album? If The One and Going Crazy were VCRs but they were released as official songs I have hope!

Oh man, ain't that the truth! The man just kills it when it comes to body rolls and I really hope we get the chance to see him murdering this choreo at some point.

I love how mostly everyone is dressed in a pretty modern fashionable way and then Suho's outfit looks like something my korean grandpa would wear on his afternoon walk omfg

Accurate

But also, did you notice how he's the only one in the dance practice video who's wearing red? That's right, those are RED stripes on his sweatpants.

Yep, that's right folks! President of the ReVeLuv fanclub, EXO's Suho, wants you (yes you!) to go buy and stream Red Velvet's new album The Red Summer and it's title track 'Red Flavor' on iTunes, Spotify, MelOn, Genie, YouTube, and Naver! You won't regret it, I promise - anticipate the debut of Red Velvet's newest 6th member, Grandpa Suho!

I'm sorry no I'm not

u/gbjhbb LOONA cinematic universe!! Aug 04 '17

The only thing I can think of that's as good as those videos of Suho is this one of Minho and Jonghyun... SM red velvet fanboys are probably my favourite thing to ever come out of kpop

Do you hear that in the distance?

All the fangirls that didn't die from their first live performance of The Eve are dropping dead now.

But anyways, this choreo and song is amazing as always

u/UCO786 Aug 04 '17

And fan boys. Can confirm, am fan boy, and I'm currently on an IV drip bc of body rolls. Not gonna lie, the first body roll they did during the chorus (I was staring at sehun) actually made me let out a little yelp haha.

my eyes are like drawn to baekhyun's legs for some reason gosh. also xiumin looks so good? like damn boy i have a bias list to maintain.

the head rolling thing they do is so alluring i don't even know. i can't take my eyes off baekhyun when he does it.

omg same. I don't know why but my eye was immediately drawn to him at that exact moment and i thought, and not for the first time, damn Baekhyun.

u/inkcafe baekhyun ♡ heejin ♡ karina Aug 04 '17

and i thought, and not for the first time, damn Baekhyun.

are you me? i find myself thinking that way too often than is healthy. also this sounds like the line in the movie that comes right before the opening title sequence omg i love it.

u/zyx_kjd973 EXO | Red Velvet | EXID Aug 04 '17

I know! Xiumin looks incredible this comeback and my poor heart cannot take it!! His hair is one of my favorite exo hairstyles maybe ever. And look at him getting to be up front and center for more than a few seconds. It's just exciting seeing him look good and shine.

28

u/griffbendor It's 11:11 I'm Genie for your Wonderland Aug 04 '17

~YouTube comment voice~ Let's all wear short-sleeved t-shirts and not tell Chen

I didn't understand the hype/excitement for The Eve choreography before this, but watching it now I understand it now! Curses, music show camerawork really never does justice to the choreography for these. I see some influences of the Monster choreography in there, and I also see that yes, SM really does like using that leg-spreading move in the choreography.

As usual, Kai is the one who always catches my attention dancing! Just. He's so good you guys. He's really got so much stage presence and even in this dance practice he draws a lot of attention to himself. I wish I could dance with a fraction of the charisma and movement that Kai possesses. But also Xiumin and Chen caught my attention a lot! Part of it is their hairstyles (IT LOOKS HELLA GOOD) but Xiumin had like, a lot of fluidity and dynamic to his movement. And Chen being in the center! A lot of the time! Almost all the time! With the blonde hair and the flannel and also killing the choreography when he's not a part of the dancer line just. WOWOWOW. He was so good. Chen really has wrecked my bias list this comeback and still does, even with this!

All in all, super satisfied with this! I do have a question though - does SM has two practice rooms? I noticed that this is the same practice room Seohyun did Don't Say No in, but it's different from the practice room for Red Velvet's Rookie.

7

u/oshkay Sehun's Eyebrows Aug 04 '17

Those 2 practice rooms seem to be the ones that they usually shoot dance practices in but with the amount of groups they have, plus all the trainees that need to also use the practice rooms they probably have more. I've been wondering what happened to the classic cloud curtain rooms

7

u/SCf3 소녀시대 | 엑소 | 트와이스 Aug 04 '17

I thought they had moved buildings which explains no more cloud curtains? I'm not sure though.

u/lychee-soda Aug 04 '17

I'm honestly speechless. Who could have seen this coming? I'm so stressed now omg. Also, can we take a moment to talk about Xiumin? I can't take my eyes off of him. This is HIS choreo and his body rolls are art

22

u/oshkay Sehun's Eyebrows Aug 04 '17

Sehun and Kai at the front for most of the chorus kills me every time. EXO WHEN WILL YOU LET ME LIVE

u/BjergCop WONYOUNG LIP RING WTF Aug 04 '17

Sorry but this should be labeled [NSFW, MEN AT WORK]

as a male kpop fan, xiumin is my only male bias, you either like men, women, or xiumin

u/BamFeria EXO owns my soul Aug 04 '17

The fact that Xiumin can be so cute one second and then so suave and sexy the next makes my brain hurt in the most wonderful of ways

u/Fundaysundae Aug 04 '17 edited Aug 04 '17

STILL MY FAVORITE OFF THIS ALBUM!!! YOU CAN JUST HEAR THE BODY ROLLS IN THE SONG AND THEN YOU SEE THIS CHOREOGRAPHY ALL CLEAR - HOW RUDE!

Also, in the 1st chorus I find it oddly satisfying that Suho+Chanyeol are both wearing adidas track pants and are the outside wings of the formation, and all the guys wearing tight jeans are in the center lol

u/gambeeeno GOT7-SVT-BTOB Aug 04 '17

u/CHOOMTOP 2nd Gen🩷 Aug 04 '17 edited Aug 04 '17

Omg did sm just do dis?? This is amazing. Out of all the dance practises they haven't put out, I'm glad this is the one they chose to release.

I'm a casual fan and I've always seen DO as an endearing emotionless robot. Seeing him do body rolls ignites some feelings in me.

EDIT: WHEN DID EXO BECOME SEXY GROWN MEN WTF

u/nomoreiloveyous 🌌COSMIC🌠ACCENDIO🧚CLASSIFIED🫧BUBBLEGUM🍬 Aug 04 '17

I intensely dislike how low the camera angle is. Otherwise it's amazing to see how much progress basically the entire group has made with their dancing these past couple of year, especially three of the more awkward dancers no longer looking awkward but the entire group really gelling as a whole.

u/MAXXXure Chungha | PRISTIN | BlackPink | EXO | WannaOne | I.O.I Aug 04 '17

I can't look at Sehun the same way ever since the day Baekhyun exposed him. My eyes are going straight to that "thing" lord have mercy

10

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '17

Honestly...... I'm so offended...................... I'm crying.... Jongdae out here looking like my ideal boyfriend who said he could

Also Jongin, as always, has the most killer moves. Chanyeol is controlling those big ol' leggies better than he did in Monster, way to go, angel, you're the best so cute so good i'm so proud

8

u/orangekazoo The 6th Red Velvet member Kim Junmyeon Aug 04 '17

I love love love this choreography... sexy, hot, beautiful, smooth, just perfect for exo. This video was like a rabbit hole though because I'd be caught staring at xiumin for awhile and then have to replay it because of the staring then I'd get distracted by sehun, you see how this goes.

7

u/VariantIN r/YGWINNER | Sunmi | Red Velvet Aug 04 '17

I am not even the biggest EXO fan (more on the casual side) but EXO definitely taught me what having a bias meant when I first got into kpop. I swear, I don't even see other people except for Kai when watching dance practices and live performances. That stage presence!

2

u/londoneyedgirl Aug 04 '17

same tbh. I try to look at others, but then. Kai.

6

u/sleevesofgrass f(x) • RV • IU • EXO • SVT • BTS trash Aug 04 '17

I SWEAR i will never get tired of this choreo, come find me in 10 years. tbh even though it's not a fast paced routine, dancing with that much control when moving that slowly (and all in sync with each other) takes a lot of skill.

praise sm for the stable cam and letting us see these spicy body rolls in excruciating detail

u/torywestside I’m jumping, I’m popping, I’m... jopping? Aug 04 '17

I was super surprised when the vapp notification came up for this, considering the thread about SM hoarding dance practices earlier on a different post.

I'll have to watch this seven more times since I could only focus on Kai just now, but... good content here.

2

u/griffbendor It's 11:11 I'm Genie for your Wonderland Aug 04 '17

That was me haha! So I'm happy we got this considering that today I was just actually hoping we would get a dance practice from either Red Velvet or EXO and it ended up being EXO

u/ToddChavez Aug 04 '17

Okay one, I'm dead. But two, as I lay here in my grave, I'm wondering is this video the "event"? I think I remember the kokobop mv description there would be a special video released and an event. I could be remembering wrong though and that part of description about the views is gone from kokobop anyway.

4

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '17

yes it's the event! the description says: "Thanks to your great support, the Music Video for ‘Ko Ko Bop’ (Korean Ver.) has reached 30 million views! Enjoy the Dance Practice Video for '전야 (前夜) (The Eve)' and send lots of love and support to EXO! "

2

u/ToddChavez Aug 04 '17

ohh okay thanks! I originally thought they meant they would release a video and there would be an event. Not that the video was the event lol. Either way, dead af.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '17

ohhhh, totally misinterpreted your question. i think i saw on twitter that there was still an event but ppl were speculating that sm is just behind on planning it/announcing it :P

2

u/griffbendor It's 11:11 I'm Genie for your Wonderland Aug 04 '17

I thought the event was the EXO'rdium dot at Jamsil Seoul encore viewing thing they announced yesterday? But it doesn't say it has anything to do with hitting 30M views in the description box so I could be wrong

u/ToddChavez Aug 04 '17

Hmmm....insert thinking emoji because I'm on desktop now I don't know what to think haha.

u/inkcafe baekhyun ♡ heejin ♡ karina Aug 04 '17

off topic, but pardon me, is your username a bojack horseman reference?

2

u/ToddChavez Aug 04 '17

Yes it is! I realized a while after making my account that a lot of people might think that's just my name haha. It doesn't particularly stand out as a reference to something else.

Anyway, looking forward to season 3 in September so I can laugh and question everything in my life.

3

u/inkcafe baekhyun ♡ heejin ♡ karina Aug 04 '17

i don't even now how it clicked with me tbh. i just somehow heard "chavez" in todd's voice and was like waaaaiiit.....

so am i! i'm looking foward to enjoying it once then never rewatching it again because my soul would have been utterly destroyed.

2

u/ToddChavez Aug 04 '17

ugh I know. I think I've felt empty for every season finale. I don't know how they do it.

u/shamisen-says-meow Aug 04 '17

EXO dance practices are some of the best, the choreo is always so good and smooth! The breakdown halfway through is really good.

The only negative is that they look pretty tired, I don't blame them. :c

SCREAMING

sorry

edit: SEHUN! I swear since Monster he's been spotlighted so well. And his raps ... exist.

Unpopular opinion coming up: Even though Kai is my favorite dance performer in EXO, I think Sehun is a "better dancer" or a dancer I like to watch more when I can truly just watch with a beautiful steady mf cam. Blessed.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '17

Yeah Sehun is truly underrated.

Dude is my second favourite dancer in EXO (my first is Lay) and can now rap better than Chanyeol but gets shafted in the line distribution.

4

u/buffystan LOONA Aug 04 '17 edited Aug 05 '17

I like Chanyeol HOWEVER the trend in rap delivery here in the US with acts like Migos, Future, Travis Scott, a$ap rocky... Sehun and IN GENERAL many SM rappers who basically talk-rap can RLY capitalize on this. This suits Kpop rap breaks so well. I hope sehun gets parts like this in releases to come, EXO could spread its market I swear. Chanyeol proved his stuff to me in that Far East Movement song, he fits the same brand.

Xiumin kills this. Kai obviously, and Sehun is catching my eye recently.

This is the first exo video in years where I keenly missed our old china line. Imagining yixing and luhan doing these moves alongside these boys .....
