KPOP DISCOVER's MCND note

MCND can be approached by watching the Live Practice before the music video. On nanana, Crush, Movin' and #MOOD, the strength of the five in keeping the movement large while still delivering the voice is caught exactly as it is.

Comparing the standard version of ODD-VENTURE with the One-take afterwards shows that the formations and the faces hold even when the camera changes. The sheer number of clips is not simply volume, it stands as evidence of the performing.

Editors' take Coming in through the Live Practice, the rap, the singing and the dancing of MCND all register at once.
