The choreographer recalled, “I told him, ‘That would definitely make the dance look great, but it seems like it could be a little dangerous. “He personally suggested the idea, saying, ‘I think it would really bring the scene to life if Mark stepped on me and jumped off.’ He came up with the idea himself.”

“Taeyong is extremely passionate, and he’s someone who has a lot of ideas,” he said. The choreographer then revealed that it was Taeyong who had come up with the idea of adding that extra element to the sequence in order to make it even more climactic. That part didn’t exist in the original choreography that I came up with.” “However,” he continued, “there’s a part where Taeyong lies on the floor and has Mark jump off his knee. I wanted to portray this action through the dance.” He hits and hits, and everyone takes the blows. Koosung Jung explained, “Mark comes into the center, and it’s like he’s the main character in a fight scene. As all of the other members stand around him in a circle, Mark pretends to fight and defeat his bandmates before jumping off Taeyong’s thigh towards the front of the stage with a dramatic kick. One of the most memorable moments of the performance, the martial-arts “action scene” takes place at the end of the “Kick It” dance break. At one point during the interview, he shared the origin story behind what he dubbed the “action scene” part of the choreography. In a recent interview with fellow choreographer Mina Myoung, Koosung Jung talked about his experience working on NCT 127’s choreography for their latest title track.

According to choreographer Koosung Jung, NCT 127’s Taeyong was the mastermind behind one of the coolest parts of their choreography for “ Kick It“!
