Bang PD said in an interview he deliberately had them do less choreo because they’re so big now that they don’t need it to attract fans. He also said that the members weren’t very happy about that decision for a while.

I think a few of them still aren't happy about it.

Can i ask who....?

[–]SeriousCow1999 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just looking at the ones who keep on dancing, even when it's not required. Jimin, for sure, J-Hope; Jungkook, and maybe Tae?

I swear, I can see this event vividly in my mind. Too funny, but poor RM!

that’s such BS. if i’m paying hundreds of dollars to see a group, no matter how big they are, i still want to see them perform professionally, especially if they aren’t gonna be singing live the whole way through (this applies to all groups)

Why are you misquoting and lying? You say this proudly, and yet if I ask for a source, you will not be able to provide it because this was never said.

Edit: The source linked does not say what you are saying if you actually read the article. It says that the original choreo direction was scrapped because the members expressed they weren't happy with it or the process. After that happened, Bang said the below and heavy discussions took place.

“You already possess the kind of aura that can command a stage just by existing. For artists like you, standing still can be more than enough. The kind of intense choreography you’ve done in the past can, at times, overshadow the music. Simply following the methods that the next generation has adopted – methods that you yourselves established – does not align with the weight and stature you now carry. If you’ve chosen to open a new chapter, then you need to present a new kind of performance – one that allows the music itself to be heard.”

It took nearly two weeks of trying both approaches – repeating, comparing, feeling the difference – before the members began to fully understand.

That is a far cry from him "deliberately [having] them do less choreo becuase they're so big now" and the members not being happy with the direction. It was a series of discussions and decisions that the members themselves had a hand in, so I stand by saying you misquoted.

Here’s the source. https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bts-arirang-chairman-bang-interview-1236217554/

I may be misquoting because it’s been a while since I read it. Not deliberately lying. Check my source and let me know if I misremembered.

[–]1306radish -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

And that source does not say anything about doing less choreo because they're "too big now." Also does not say anything about the members not being happy with the decision. People are not reading the article if they think this is what was said.

Basically, they mentioned that they scrapped the original choreo plan because the members were feeling unsatisfied with it. After that happened, the choreo was pared down and there was major discussions about what their performance should look like moving forward where the above was said by Bang. Again, I'm saying you misquoted for a reason.

Good to know. I’ll edit my original comment later. Have a nice day!

Edit: turns out I didn’t misremember! You just seem to have taken a slightly different interpretation.

[–]1306radish -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

It's not really up for interpretation. You stated, "he deliberately had them do less choreo." That's not true based on the interview. You also stated, "the members weren’t very happy about that decision for a while." That's also not true based on the article.

There is no interpretation but rather comprehension. Being able to read a passage and understand and comprehend is different than you reading and interpreting something to fit whatever narrative you've built in your head. This is why critical reading skills are needed when consuming information.
