KPOP DISCOVER's MXM note
With MXM the point to watch is not a large group formation but the moments where the two 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 one song first, watch the music video and the Dance for the same song back to back and the strength of the duo lands faster.
