ITZY's CHAERYEONG critiques Park Eun-young's dance fundamentals on JTBC

During a special dance lesson on JTBC's 'Bob Eun-young', ITZY's CHAERYEONG told trainee Park Eun-young that she lacks fundamentals and possesses distracting habits. The session included practical rhythm training and a discussion regarding the difficulty of meeting JYP head J.Y. Park before debuting on a large stage.

A special "dance lesson" featuring a mix of tension and humor between a trainee and a senior artist took place. In this episode revealed through JTBC's 'Bob Eun-young', Park Eun-young, who refers to herself as part of the "JYP debut group," visited ITZY's CHAERYEONG to have her dance skills evaluated.

CHAERYEONG's blunt "lacks fundamentals" critique and Park Eun-young's "habits"

Park Eun-young began the meeting by introducing herself as a "debut group trainee who has visited JYP for the second time," claiming she had received permission from a restaurant owner to debut. Although Park Eun-young demonstrated choreography, claiming she had learned fundamentals from members of NMIXX in the past, CHAERYEONG's reaction was cold. After watching Park Eun-young's movements, CHAERYEONG gave a direct assessment, stating, "You just don't have any fundamentals." Regarding dance lines and detail, she advised that while there is passion, there is a "lack of innate detail," noting that skills can only improve if one catches the differences in their own movements.

In particular, CHAERYEONG pointed out specific habits appearing in Park Eun-young's choreography. CHAERYEONG emphasized that instead of showing individual "habits" (jjo), one must be faithful to the basic choreography itself, noting that Park Eun-young "seems to have a greed to imprint points on people." Recalling her own trainee days, CHAERYEONG explained that for those who learned dance from outside sources, a process of removing their own unique habits was necessary.

From shoulder dances to ending poses: continuous practical lessons

Following the critique of her fundamentals, practical lessons continued with CHAERYEONG sharing her know-how. CHAERYEONG taught Park Eun-young rhythm using her shoulders, guiding her to connect movements to the beat of "one, two, three." Park Eun-young followed CHAERYEONG's guidance, gradually matching the rhythm.

The conversation also turned to expression on stage. Park Eun-young volunteered to be an "ending fairy," claiming, "I am confident in my facial expressions," but CHAERYEONG showed a difference in style regarding the ending pose, stating she "wants a sexy feeling." CHAERYEONG offered joking advice that Park Eun-young's style "looks like someone who is struggling," adding that it is important to find one's own distinct charm to build a fandom.

Meeting PD J.Y. Park is "impossible" on the journey toward debut

During the visit, Park Eun-young expressed anticipation regarding whether she could meet JYP head J.Y. Park. However, CHAERYEONG provided a realistic answer, stating, "Not all trainees can see the PD," and that a meeting would be difficult before standing on a large stage such as a showcase. Park Eun-young expressed hope to stand on stage around next year and continued the lesson by practicing a hair-flipping pose based on the choreography learned from CHAERYEONG.
