JUN's EP '9' M/V Shoot & Dance Practice Sketch

Why Koreans care

The practice is also preparation for singing live: Jun says he can manage through the second verse, but completing the third leaves him too breathless, so he needs the choreography to become less physically demanding through familiarity before he can perform it live.

In the Korean comments

One comment distinguishes quick memorization from execution: it praises Jun’s 안무 복사력 (anmu boksaryeok, ability to copy choreography rapidly), then says what is even more striking is the beauty of his 춤선 (chumseon, the lines created by his dancing body). The same comment calls his playful behavior during rehearsal 초딩 준냥이모드 (choding Jun-nyangi mode, elementary-school-kid “Jun-kitty mode”).

What the words mean

천재냥 (cheonjae-nyang, “genius kitty”) literally combines “genius” with 냥 (nyang, “meow”). Here it is playful, affectionate praise for Jun after he learns the choreography in a single day, not a separate claim about a cat.
