Diamond Girl is bright, Gone Cold is restrained, YA YA YA is built for summer, and practice and performance cuts exist for most of them.

KPOP DISCOVER's MXM note

With MXM the point to watch is not a large group formation but the moments where the 2 of them take turns stepping forward. Go past the music video to the fixed-camera Dance Practice and the switch between rap and vocal turns out to be the structure of the choreography itself.

The run was not long, yet moving from I'M THE ONE through Diamond Girl, Gone Cold, YA YA YA and Different reveals a range of expression that never leans on brightness alone.

Editors' take Rather than picking 1 song first, watch the music video and the Dance for the same song back to back and the strength of the duo lands faster.
