The church you are referring is the Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, but from another angle, they danced not on the Red Square. They filmed the whole Video in different places in Moscow.

But I get this feeling the most with them. it probably has a lot to do with their traning period and I guess "contact" with a TON of choreographers from the US too, they're not just there to be pretty. that's mainly predominant in dance crews that go to dance competitions/ professional dancers in general, not neccessarily idols who have to look stunning although they're dancing their asses off. I feel like it's a lot easier to have a composed face compared to an expressive face and actually make that work (eg. sometimes it can end up looking exaggerated, forced, cringe, etc) they truly feel the music and the performance and it shows on their face. they definetely "sacrifice" or give up a bit of the idol "gotta be perfect 24/7" image with this but I appreciate it, it gives them a very authentic and raw feeling. I know there are still some people, although probably not as many as there were in their early days, that were a bit turned off by their intensity and "crazy" faces. meanwhile, me - a consumer of dance content and having watched western choreographers and dancers for years prior to even getting into kpop, I was like YAS SHOW ME THE NASTY FACES and to this day I live for how invested all of them are when they perform. they're really at 100% all the time. is it neccessarily sustainable? not sure, although I feel they've learned to "perserve" themselves or their energy a bit more laterly. but is it spectacular and amazing to watch? absolutely!!! "is he crazy?" lmaoooooooooo me @ at all of them cuz wow they really came out the gate with hala hala. I was gagged when that 1st came out and the live stages started rolling in. they were batshit crazy that era pretty sure the church you are referring to that is in the bg during promise is in Moscow, although I think the entire MV was filmed in multiple European countries

They're a HYBE group formed around 4 members who were on I-Land where Enhypen was formed and are the werewolves to Enhypen's vampires. I like Enhypen but I'm quickly becoming obsessed with &Team. I haven't been as excited about a group since TXT. Their MVs and music is so emotional and there's a rock edge that really hits me, too. Every title track and B MV release has been a hit for me. I would love to see you do a video with all of their MVs...they're still pretty new so it's not many. Under the Skin, Scent of You, Firework (do the Korean performance version...so GOOD), Road Not Taken, War Cry, and Dropkick (Dropkick is very much like a musical number and, as a theatre kid, I really loved it). Anyway, I think they're the best kept secret out there right now...not many reactions to them yet. But they're really killing it. Oh, and they're dance practices...WOW. I think they might be the best dancers in the game right now. Great story-telling and again, so emotional. Please check them out! :)
