Loved it loved it loved it! Even just your intro was so funny and full of joy, it had me smiling right away! And I had ordered that Hope World Cole World tshirt before the intro was even finished π Totally agree that these episodes need to be longer - I know they were rushing them before Hobi enlisted but it never feels like enough. Would have loved to see Hobi practicing with Link for longer and seeing how he progressed with trying to pick up those moves. We need series 2 and we need 1 hr episodes!! Thanks guys - really enjoyed it!

2024-04-14 22:16:51 +0000 UTCI agree with what you guys said that Hobi is finding new joy in what he loves through this series. It's comparable to Yoongiβs journey in Road to D-Day and we all know how that ended. π Also regarding his moves, Hoseok has always had this certain style and flow when he dances that makes things look so sharp yet effortless, much like when he raps, hence why he's called the flow god. π«‘

2024-04-13 23:25:13 +0000 UTCI have so many things to say, but I'll start with - this is exactly why I became your fan, why I subscribe to the highest tier, and regardless of anything, will always support yall and your awesomeness. You bring such unique, insightful, educational - with a side of crackheadness - views and rich conversation, and honestly I get emotional seeing yalls joy and excitement being as privileged as I am to be your fan and witness your amazing journey. This is your chapter 2 as well. BTS sparked the light, and HOTS put accelerante on it...like this content was made just for you. Im superΒ eager to see the next reaction, and all that will come with vol 2 and beyond. Much love FAM.Β Much love. π

2024-04-13 17:35:24 +0000 UTCListen! You are too funny. You are all so happy it makes me smile so much. Hobi is truly amazing. I have a lump in my throat every time the other guys say great things about him. Heβs loved and admired. Bring on the final episode. Might need a few tissues

2024-04-13 10:22:13 +0000 UTCHobi just moves different , he always have this "it" factor on his moves that makes him so captivating to watch. Hope - "10 minutes and I'm having mental breakdown" like bro how fast do you usually learn your moves that only 10mins of not perfecting it is a cause for mental breakdown π There was a clip in an interview where Link said that he thought the Hiphop golden era was the 80's because "rappers were dancing , rap shows are really rap shows not just walking back and forth along the stage" , this makes me wonder what he though of Hobi π

2024-04-13 04:10:35 +0000 UTCβ£οΈI could see the laser focus in all three of you. I love watching these with you guys and through your eyes. I found information on a Wikipedia page that explains some of the things you guys mentioned while watching this episode. Itβs very informative & totally supports your comments and insights. Read on & youβll see what I mean. ================ From the point of view of someone deeply immersed in hip-hop culture, anything that looks like hip-hop dance that did not come from the streets & is not improvisational in nature is not a true hip-hop dance form. In an interview with Dance magazine, choreographer & hip-hop dance teacher Emilio "Buddha Stretch" Austin, Jr. described his point-of-view: βThere are a lot of jazz dancers out there doing pseudo hip hop. A lot of teachers don't know the history, they're just teaching the steps. They're learning from videos, but they don't know the culture. If all you see is Britney Spears, you think that's hip hop, but that's never been hip hop. It's completely watered down. And studios couldnβt care less, because hip hop is one of their biggest moneymakers.β Stage performance can suppress improvisation which defined hip-hop dance early in its development. Furthermore, meshing different dance styles together dissolves their structures & identities. In an interview with The Bronx Journal, choreographer & artistic director Safi Thomas expressed a similar qualm as Austin concerning hip-hop instruction within the studio: βIn a lot of studios what you find is people just doing movement to hip-hop music. So if there's hip-hop music in the background, & they're moving, they're calling it a hip-hop class. The problem with that is let's say I wanted to teach a ballet class & I just come in, & I throw on Mozart, & I just start movingβ& I'm not doing any of the foundational elements. I am not doing any of the movement vocabulary of ballet. I can not call that a ballet class & that's what happens in relation to hip-hop... within the studio realm there is no standard for the art form, & [the teachers] don't know what the foundational elements of the art are. They know nothing about popping, nothing about locking, nothing about boogaloo, breaking, or the hip-hop danceβthe social dancesβor any of that. They know none of the history which spans over 30β35 years, & so they pretty much cut off any type of edification that a dancer can have.β A significant juncture in the development of hip-hop was the addition of eight-counts, a method of counting dance steps to stay in sync with the music -> (Blaze! π) Toni Basil introduced this studio technique into locking in the 1970s. Basil was trained in ballet before being introduced to street dance by Don Campbell, the creator of locking & founding member of The Lockers dance crew. She is responsible for teaching the rest of The Lockers how to dance to counts. Traditionally hip-hop dance, or any form of street dance, is not performed to counts as these styles were created on the street rather than in a studio setting. Therefore, the introduction of counts was a pivotal move into bringing hip-hop dance from the street into the studio. Even with this addition, it would be years before commercial hip-hop developed into its current form. ================= Sorry for the lengthy comment. I just thought it was so interesting and showed that you know of what you speak! βΊοΈ π

2024-04-13 02:50:18 +0000 UTCThis is the best so far. I have enjoyed this series immensely. All 3 of you have a great knowledge of dance and I love your insight. I first got into BTS because of JHopes smile. I went through some rough times and I needed to see a big smile and I remembered seeing him on a show. I googled the show and the rest was history. I love them all and JHopeβs skill and talent is masterful - yet he has the humbleness to remain a student. I am 65 and have always loved hip hop. The first CD I bought my son was hip hop. I wanted him to expand his horizon on music. Thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication. ππ«Άπ½π«°π½π€πΌ

2024-04-13 02:42:57 +0000 UTCHey Fam! π Everyone up here in my neck of the woods knows about Link who was a part of The Elite Force Crew. Some of the best dance crews have come out of NYC. Though the love of Hip Hop has spread across the USA and all over the world that resulted in some amazing music and dancers/dance crews. Homage MUST be paid to where it all started and the OGs here who started it all. I remember back in the day going to dance battles which were incredible AJJ and Blaze you guys need to check out "Loose Joint " aka (Jamel Brown) an amazing free style Hip Hop dancer. He's been around since the early 1990's and is amazing! You'll need your "soul Snatchers" with him. See you guys for ep 6!πππ

2024-04-13 02:38:40 +0000 UTCMan, that was satisfying. I knew watching this hip-hop episode with you three would be time well spent because you're so invested in this subject. When y'all were on the edge of your seats and rewinding and rewinding during the dance segments, I felt that. And Hope and Link were like soul brothers---same positive energy, gentle spirit, and megawatt smile. Yes, Hobi was a bit discombobulated when he first met Link, but shoooweee, he was in his wheelhouse when they recorded What If. That was fire! No wonder those folks stopped to stare. I would probably have gotten run over.
