Very interesting points made here! It's a type of thinking I haven't navigated as much before but you definitely helped me see a new side to this so i Thank you!! I also feel with the actual styles that the groups choose to do, male groups typically have more complex moves within a given BPM of their tracks in comparison to females, hence the difficulty in a lot of boy group choreo. I swear xikers has some of the TOUGHEST choreo on their plate (right up there with Riize as well) and the females are catching up a little bit! I am so thoroughly impressed by this gen 5 group lineup so far and it impresses me SO much to see the caliber of performance from all of the groups!

2024-01-22 08:12:56 +0000 UTCI'm not familiar with dancing styles in general but some insight I learned from others who compare male and female K-Pop idols and their dances/performances was useful when I was trying to figure out why certain idol dancers looked more powerful than others even when dance quality was overall the same: Basically, female idols are kind of encouraged to always look pretty, no matter the vibe? Also the dance details they are mostly given to nail down are very detailed hand movements too, way smaller. Meanwhile, male idols are given comparatively bigger moves (and also required to do more acrobatic stunts), and they are not required to look pretty. Since they are required to look more handsome and powerful, they can get away with being more energetic while executing similar moves as other female idols. A good female idol to look at in terms of dance to see this discrepancy is Soyeon from I-DLE. Now, she is notorious for being in two separate idol survival shows before her debut and despite consistently good performances always falling just short of winning. Even though she signed after the shows, she still took a long time to debut (and honestly, debuted with her own sweat and tears rather than the company working for it, she literally wrote the damn EP). This was partially due to her being deemed subpar in Korean beauty standards. Like, people were actually outright saying she couldn't debut because she was "ugly". Now, even before this kind of hatred coming her way online, she was very focused on performance colour more than looking pretty for each frame, but over the years you can just SEE her not giving a damn about it and completely dedicate her looks to what the performance dictates. Basically, she has no fear of looking "ugly" in extreme moments of choreography and always ends up looking super powerful. Honestly, it makes her captivating to watch because she always sticks out thanks to her commitment. Of course she is also both talented and hardworking - but I think she makes a good example of a female idol who just doesn't have that barrier that most female idols inevitably have, being trained and working in this industry with these expectations.
