[엑스포츠뉴스=한인구 기자] iKON’s B.I titled the choreography of “RHYTHM TA”, the title track of iKON’s debut half album, as “aboriginal dance”.
YG Entertainment unveiled the behind video of “RHYTHM TA”’s music video on the 8 in the afternoon, on YG’s official blog. As for the title of the choreography of “RHYTHM TA”, B.I said, “To give a name to it, I made it ‘aboriginal dance’ as it feels like aboriginal”. The disciplined and powerful performance of “RHYTHM TA”’s choreography drew more attention, as it was known that Paris Goebel who was the choreographer of film “Step Up 5” and who has created the dynamic and unique performance of GD X TAEYANG’s “GOOD BOY”, TAEYANG’s “RINGA LINGA”, and BIGBANG’s “BANG BANG BANG” took part in the choreography of “RHYTHM TA”.
The behind video of “RHYTHM TA” vividly shows iKON members’ playful personality shown at the shooting of “RHYTHM TA”’s music video. Member BOBBY and CHAN WOO explained the concept of the video by saying, “This is a place where the 21st century’s rebels are gathered together, to ride on the rhythm. They become friends and a team by playing basketball and practicing together”. While saying hello to fans, iKON members found out the fact that the classic car they were seating on was a very expensive one and got down from it urgently, making viewers burst into laughter.
Even though the shooting went on overnight, the members were not exhausted but exerted their full passion and enthusiasm for the shooting of the video. During rest times, they relaxed by making jokes to each other. While monitoring their acting, the members were concentrating like professional actors.
