Artistic director and contemporary dancer Kin Sun-hee has analyzed BTS Jimin's dance moves.

Through a special post on her blog, she shared an analysis of the singer's dancer moves receiving a hot response from the fans.

According to Sun-hee, BTS dance has a unique choreography with lots of action compared to other idol groups but each person's energy and expression is uniquely significant. While the group dances together in unison through movement, beat, and breath, each member uses their "shape" and "effort" differently to express explosive energy. As a result, the dance shows a charming unity.

In particular, main dancer Jimin substitutes his "efforts" (force, time, space, flow) by using tension relaxation techniques and thus eliminating unnecessary tension on his upper body and grounding the lower body resulting in stable performance. It's a technique that only well-versed dancers can instinctively express.





She cited the works of Rudolph Bonn Laban, an architect and movement researcher, who found out that our ideas and emotions are one of the dynamic elements in the art of dance. He said, "Body, effort, shape, and space" are the main elements of movement and our inner impulses or desires help reflect the right energy." According to Sunhee, "Jimin reflects these four elements well continuously and harmoniously."

She added, "Jimin is one of those dancers who can command a gaze with the flow of his body and this is something that is overlooked by many dancers these days. I have repeatedly praised the attractiveness of his gestures on stage. I think he's a charming idol who can express his own inner body as a performing artist on stage without limits or genre."
