TAEYONG, Scene of Team Formation with 'Street World Fighter' Choreographers and Concept Draft Presentation

In a highlight video for 'Street World Fighter: Directors' War', which airs on Mnet and tvN, the process of choreographers forming teams and presenting concept drafts to complete the performance of artist TAEYONG was revealed.

Choreographers' Team Formation and Strategy for TAEYONG

The video captures the process of forming teams of choreographers who will be in charge of TAEYONG's performance. Choreographer Nine mentioned having experience working with TAEYONG and expressed a desire to create synergy by forming a team with him, despite their existing rivalry. Choreographer BABY ZOO mentioned TAEYONG's unique compositional abilities and his strength in creating splendid visuals using dancers, expressing anticipation to form a team with him.

Meanwhile, choreographers Bada and Baek Kooyoung formed a team. Bada emphasized the high level of trust and chemistry with TAEYONG, while Baek Kooyoung explained that TAEYONG's dancing style and his own style would create great synergy. Baek Kooyoung showed confidence in choreography production, revealing that he understands TAEYONG's performance style well.

Nine and BABY ZOO Team's 'Top Tier' Concept Draft

The keyword for the concept proposed by choreographers Nine and BABY ZOO is 'Top Tier'. They sought to visualize an image where they do not compete with others, but rather make others follow them. In the draft video, instead of directly wielding movements that seem to dominate power, they expressed it through relaxed movements as if being in a high position where there is no need to wield it.

In particular, as a killing point, they designed a 'polar opposite' contrast where the artist TAEYONG moves relaxedly while the dancers perform dynamic movements. Additionally, the 'beat beat beat beat' part of the lyrics was composed of intuitive movements, presenting choreography that utilizes V signs to enhance the sense of rhythm. Nine conveyed that TAEYONG liked this composition.

Bada and Baek Kooyoung Team's 'Free Performer' Concept Draft

Based on strong self-confidence, choreographers Bada and Baek Kooyoung set the character as a 'performer' who freely expresses individuality. They emphasized choreography that matches the energy of the song and revealed a strategy to dress TAEYONG in the clothes that suit him best.

In the draft video, a performance matching the mood of the song followed, and the cast evaluated that this draft aligns more closely with TAEYONG's image and the energy of the song.
