I realized i never made a post about something always deemed crucial in kpop....dance. now i will not say ZE:A as amazing dancers.(they're not famous for being some synchronized or blabla dancers...i never understood the obsession with synchronized dance anyway...dance to me is an art, expression n not something that needed to look like a rigid/machined thing..but hey that's just me. i'm not a dance master...i can appreciate art though...i don't think you need some certificate to have opinion) but one thing i noticed, is that ZE:A always bring in uniqueness factor. afterall, these dance battles happened during their earlier years, where they need to do something different to appeal to the public. how i wish that is applied in choosing their title songs as well....especially in the current time. haa, yes, i will never get tired whining about their title songs. why wouldn't i? i won't expect so much from them if i see them as just another average idol...it's because i look up to their abilities that i expect more n the best. i don't expect that just from any idol unworthy of such expectation.

and back to dance battles...it's actually through dance battle...that i discovered n grew some early interest in ZE:A even though i'm not really big junkie of dance/dance battles...to me singing is always the priority of a singer, yes, including idol-singer. but because of some/many fking rude fangurls of some boygroups they have battles with..i grew some interest. it's all those biasedness n condescending remarks that drew my eyes and attention to ZE:A. i can never thank those annoying peeps enough for ruining their own oppar's n fandom's image in my eyes(way to go~woot) and made ZE:A gain my sympathy n support. haa. in other words they indirectly promoted ZE:A to someone who had no interest in either of the groups initially. your rudity rockz. thanks for leading me one step to ZE:A. *foreverthankful* heh. (not referring to all groups' fandom who battled with ZE:A....oh but you can see,,,it's not that hard...lol) some groups' fans earn my respect points even if i'm not into the groups, some groups fans' earn my bleh points, in addition to my disinterest to the groups. haa, why do i sound really snarky here? maybe bcuz it's through these dance battle shiets that i grew strong feelings/annoyance/sense-of-who-to-support...you know how fugly kpopfans catfights are.

- i must say this one is pretty cool...scratch that...it's amazing n badass, artistic feast of movements-even if i can't dance to save my life to have a legit evaluation. i love the makeups though...lol. and the outfits kinda made them standout easily. the chants are awesome the dance are pretty cool-unique as always of ZE:A style. n *coughs* ifyknowwhatimean...n i love that little boss Siwan had his moment to be in the center-he might be small but definitely a badass n so pretty lol (ps, i only comment on ZE:A's dance though so no worries...i don't do stupid biased comparison)

edit: here's an interesting read (including comment section) i just love how contrasting the opinion on ZE:A is compared to normal fans who'd say ZE:A is as innocent kids as can be. both opinions are at the opposite extremes, but i definitely find this one a breathe of fresh air though it's purely based on the video it seemed....besides, it's not bashing ZE:A in any way even if the assumption of their badassness/impure/wild personalities/backgrounds are probably as inaccurate as the ones who think they're oh so innocent. idk. but it just proves that no fans really know the real persons behind an idol. we can only assume from our own interpretations. not like we need to know anyway. for me, ZE:A is probly just a bunch of normal guys with their own good sides n bad sides, portraying their idol personas n duties on and offstage.. nothing extremely hardcore devilish dark secrets nor sweet pureness angelic innocence. but then again....i like to see it the easy way that seems realistic n wouldn't shock me too much in anyway if they turned out not as i had assume.

- uhh....haha, ok. i'm reading the comments n realized that ZE:A won? ok they're tied or sth? idk....n you know what that means...oh the usual thing. like i said, if u seek for robotic(not referring to any group specifically,mind you, general statement dear audience) perfection, no you probly won't find it in ZE:A. but if you seek for entertainment, these guys bring it. especially when i heard the second song. i appreciate that. it's not like they're in some dance school taking a dance exam. it''s a special holiday show where people sit relax watching tv for some entertainment. n i noticed how Kevin is always central in dance battles. not surprised. Minwoo n Dongjun might have the techniques. but Kevin has the soul. n of course making Kwanghee the central in comedic song dance is really...just common sense. lol. hate the furs though.

- dat damn fur again. n this isn't really a full dance battle...just intro. before their perfs. but still worth to share i guess. i like how the dance battle is incorporated in the perf...as it end with some dance session again. i don't like the style/looks though. lol.

- i fking love how ZE:A use their own song for this dance battle. dat confidence. n the blindfold dance...lol. eventhough the dance itself wasn't much to shout about...again...they show how it's done to be unique, stand out n be entertaining at the same time. n i dig the style. ><...n i love that Hyungsik gets the center here even if i dislike dat hair...haa, and Minwoo's hairstyle as always....<3....n i love how once the groups join...Kevin instantly turns into their dance badass representative as intro before Minwoo took over, as always...of course, like c'mon. it's Kevin-nobody in the group has as much so-called swag or whatever n charisma n passion n soul as him on stage. i just hate that kwanghee isn't included, when he could've bring some 'energy' in the stage...

alas...Kwanghee is reserved for better thing so-called. as the cheerleader.

- i love it so much that he was enjoying other groups stages n cheering but grew quiet, serious n nervous during ZE:A's turn. and i love how some of the girls can't even focus on the stage cuz busy watching kwanghee....lol. but uhm, kwanghee, ur blocking the viewers when u stood up...lol. i loooooveee though how the members all came greet n gave thanks to their fans after the show...idk about other groups but i can tell that ZE:A fans there are so freaking lucky. it's one of those moments i feel this is why this group is so awesome, in addition to being awesomely talented. this is one of the many moments i feel it's such a joyous n prideful thing to be a ZE:A fan. just watching this made me so happy for their fans there. n Kwanghee certainly is the best cheerleader ZE:A could ever have. :')

and of course...

- this is the perf i remembered the most. bcuz when the video was in youtube...this was where there were too much negativity towards ZE:A in comments...so much that it disgusts me, that was, right abt one-two months before i got into ZE:A. i'm not sure if it's a dance battle...but i remember how they keep comparing how awesome *insert some groups name* is compared to this perf. n the thing was...i found this slick n  awesome n honestly, nothing inferior to their oppar. n that was the opinion when i was neutrally uninterested in all these boygroups. it was the revolting biasedness/rudity that actually made me spend time watching ZE:A n want to see them win against other groups even without being a fan at the time. 

some worthy additions

- omygosh....when the other two guys introduced themselves in girly voices as their female persona...i was expecting Dongjun to intro himself in non-girly voice...and he really did that. lmao. he simply intro himself as ZE:A member in normal Dongjun voice. cracked me up so badly. the appearance kinda freaked me out though. aahhhh, *mindfcuked* it's kinda scary even if dongjun is supposed to be han gain lookalike so it shouldn't be too scary but idk. must  be the combination of muscles n those hair n dress...n just lmao. speechless. n offtopic but i find dongho kinda pretty here, lol. kickme. anyway, i love that Dongjun is main vocals here too. wouldn''t expect less from him though it impress me how he sing with girly pitch n speak with totally different one...xD n the Level Up dance n typical dongjun flip....lmao. this is just pure win.

- kim kyungjin lol. xD... n i actually find Kwanghee pretty here ><....n he sounded pretty good...especially compared to the other guys in the perf...lmao...though i am aware this is just funny stuff....not serious singing stuff. but i still love that i can hear Kwanghee sings a lot, kinda seriously throughout the whole perf, not just during his part. kinda awesome.

- of course...Hyungsik the pabo deserves his pabo-moment to shine. n Xander really is too funnyi love this guy...lmao...xD...the camera is obviously kinda biased during kwanghee vs ukiss kevin though...but i'm not mad...obviously kevin's the more popular established pretty diva-figure...n ZE:A was newbie back then...so it's understandable...

well, hope you enjoyed the mini-compilation...
