KPOP DISCOVER's DKZ note
What makes DKZ interesting is that lightness and theatrical choreography sit in the same catalogue. Rather than narrowing to the brightness of the early years or the force that came after the change of name, watching the music videos and the fixed-camera footage in turn brings the range of the group into view.
Following from the DONGKIZ era, the year-end project songs also mark the joints. Placed between the proper title songs, 2021 (Memories), 2022 (Forever), 2023 (Friends) and 2024 (Wishlist) work as a record tying the years of activity together.
Editors' take Bright pop and stage-sized group choreography, worth comparing in the footage from before and after the change of name.
