miss_sushi 2,847 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It always catches my attention how her body is not awkward, but rather her. Idk, we've seen her predebut choreo with Seulgi, she was pretty good there, but when she dances, she tends to lift her chin up, make tired expressions, look down and is kinda awkward while she moves. I don't know how to explain really, so I'll just put a few videos. it's really hard to explain, but I just feel awkward watching her dance sometimes . I think expressions matters a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria~ 13,886 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think she’s good at dancing in terms of moving her body to the beat but she lacks charisma and hs no facial expressions so anyone watching doesn’t get immersed into her performances because she shows no connection to the music she’s dancing to.

blue7kaoru 17,423 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Not at all. She's actually a good dancer and even when she doesn't try hard, her moves are still very precise and neat. The only problem she has is her facial expressions, she doesn't know how to control them in general and especially when the camera isn't on her. Besides that her dancing is actually good.

rejeshrimp 1,064 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 i feel that it's more a lack of energy? idk, i don't get many energetic sorta... vibes from her? she seems to just go through the motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love&pink 2,580 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 irene can DANCE without a doubt and she's easily the 2nd best dancer in the group but she has trouble managing her facial expressions while dancing whats funny is that wendy is the complete opposite. She's the weakest dancer in rv but she's so charismatic and fun on stage. She really knows how to manage her facial expressions so it makes up for it. I enjoy watching her as much as seulgi because of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdm 13,010 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 That's cause she dances in a restrained way and doesn't go all out. It doesn't matter if you're a good dancer if you don't feel the music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyPopCupcake 2,421 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I agree it's her facial expressions but it's not always like that. I guess that's because of her personality, nothing against that I actually lean towards that kind of personality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seulmate 12,182 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 She's a good dancer and she's not lazy like some people think. The problem is her facial expressions. Imo it kinda look cool with concept like bad boy but not power up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangoo2.0 1,293 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Its her facial expressions and the fact that she mostly focuses on dancing with technique rather than letting loose like Seulgi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvlvntinv 92 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think she might have slight stage fright or something. She dances better in MVs and other things, or she is just tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no nonsense 844 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I don't think that Irene is lacking in charisma or facial expressions at all, I just think that Irene's expressions generally have more impact, and that includes her neutral or serious expressions. I've seen unmanaged, non-smiling expressions with TWICE members, BP members, Mamamoo members, GFriend members and other groups on stage as much as I've seen it with Irene. For some reason though Irene's serious expressions make much more impact and lasting impression on people than when other idols do it on stage. It also applies to other expressions of Irene though, not just her serious face: she goes viral a lot of times when she just smiles or smirks or winks as well, more so than other idols. Her 'Havana' dance is a good example, but she isn't a CF queen for nothing, people like her expressions. Also, if you look at her performances of the past half year, she shows a lot of different expressions and charisma on stage. In fact, she adjusts it depending on the song: brightly smiling when it's an uptempo, red-style song like Power Up or Red Flavor, and a few minutes later a cold femme fatale face when they perform Bad Boy for example.

Wendy has improved significantly the past year, in dance performances and stage presence. She has stated in an interview that she's really loving dancing these days and it shows. Her moves are fluid when they need to be fluid and sharp when they need to be sharp. Even more, she uses her whole body when she dances including her expressions and stances.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing. A year ago Wendy used a lot of shoulder movement and too little hip movement. Nowadays she uses her whole body evenly.

Shinki 5,608 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 She's a good dancer. Seulgi and Irene were known for being good dancers as trainees hence why BOTH appeared on the pre-debut Be Natural video. I like to show Russian Roulette choreography as a show of her skill. Highkey Seulgi and Irene were the ones that got that choreography the best way, it's honestly a hard and confusing choreo but also get this rookie fancam When she's not with an uncomfortable outfit, as in her lower friend isn't about to show to everyone, she ROCKS it. Unfortunately she's the one that gets the most short outfits because of her height. Her RBB performances have been mostly with outfits that she can ROCK and RBB has her best performances these days.
