Irene is super underrated as a dancer

Imo Irene‘s easily the best lead dancer out of the top 3 girl groups of 3rd gen.

Really hate it when people underappreciate not only her dancing but also her singing skills.

I don’t think she’s underrated. Everyone outside of antis knows she’s a very capable dancer and can hold a tune singing.

Agreed. She and Seulgi absolutely SLAYED at Monster and Naughty when it came to the choreo and she definitely deserves more praise.

I remember when they did Be Natural. I was so taken in by Seulgi and Irene because of their dancing!

yeah I used to like irene's dancing over Seulgi at some point, but I think maybe she was underestimated bc Irene regressed a little bit over the years until she had that subunit with Seulgi it's like she came back stronger. She is definitely a graceful dancer.

Yup, and I think she definitely shines the most in detailed choreos like Naughty. Irene is very flexible and her posture and moves are very graceful and elegant.

I agree! I really enjoyed seeing her dancing skills shine in her sub-unit.

indeed

Agreed! She’s super clean and I agree with the sentiment that she’s one of the best female lead dancers in 3rd Gen, if not the best.

I think the issue is that she doesn't have much charisma when performing. She is a great dancer, but gets overshadowed by Seulgi being so amazing and others having more personality when performing.

Agreed! Her dancing has always been top notch

She's the second best for sure but Seulgi is the best by far and so charismatic that it's hard not to get overshadowed by her. Joy exudes sexiness and charisma, and Wendy exudes happiness and positivity and they have auras while dancing while Irene has this pretty but cold look like dancing that isn't as obvious in your face and it can get overshadowed. Same with Yeri.

The subunit did wonders to show people Irene is not just another pretty face. She can both sing and dance.

Irene is a great dancer but she is too often dowplayed because she is a visual and because some Kpop fans jumped in the hate wagon in 2018 and now Red Velvet can't dance anymore when they were praised for their dancing skills until 2017.

she is really a good dancer

whenever I watch rv performances, she and seulgi stand out

My heart aches when people say she's not even talented

Agree, Seulgi has outstanding charismatic aura in live stage. Irene makes a tired expression in songs she doesn't feel. I think Subunit music is just her style. Her dance is very clean in really detailed movements and the her angle is very smooth.

Yes, Wendy and Joy generally show the most stable stage presence after Seulgi. Irene may have dance talent, but her stage charisma and stability are more important. Irene is very charismatic in her favorite songs like Bad Boy and Psycho, but I don't think she shows that aura in every song. Also the red songs are very fresh and youthful energy sometimes and Irene shines in more mature and dark concepts.

I agree with the people saying her facial expressions fit mature concepts more. She was really good in be natural and bad boy.

Seulgi overshadows everyone for me

She's a beautiful singer and dancer 🤩
