Chung Lim vs AJ vs Taegoon Rookie Dance Battle

Another special stage on this week’s Music Bank was the Rookie Dance Battle between the rising stars Chung Lim, AJ, and Taegoon.

The battle started out with each rookie performing a short solo dance with Chung Lim going first, followed by AJ, and then Taegoon. The dance battle ended with all three rookies dancing together. Check it out.

Honestly, none of them wowed me with their dancing skills. Chung Lim’s solo dance, if you can call it that, looked lazy and uninspired. AJ’s solo dance was alright but I think he could’ve been a little more creative. If I had to choose a winner I would say it was Taegoon. I think his solo dance was the best, but not by a wide margin. From my perspective, it was a close battle between AJ and Taegoon but the acrobatic move that Taegoon did at the end of his solo dance won him the first place spot in my book. Although like I said before they all seemed to be lacking, some more so than others, but what do I know. Truthfully, I’ve got two left feet…actually three left feet if you want to count my third leg. That’s right ladies, I can’t dance but I make up for it with my tripod like action I got going on. True story.

didn’t JYP dance to Chung Lim’s song before?.. anyway, Taegoon’s flip thing was pretty fly.
AJ has a contagious smile. And, you can’t really tell their dance abilities that much through this cause they dance for like 30 seconds. unless you stalk them and look at every dance video they have… but since i have never done that before im just sayen.

For me Aj did the most non repetitive dance moves. He just looks so cute and happy when he dances, its adorable!

I agree, the dancing was mediocre for stars like them, and Taegoon only got my vote for having the hardest move in his dance. It seems that Boom Boom Pow has been a popular song in Korea lately.

chunglim’s was really bad..>.>”” the battle was close between aj + taegoon in my opinion. i loved taegoon’s ending w/ that acrobatic move raspberry

no offence but chung lim kinda didnt look like he was doing a dance battle lol
i like taegoons and AJ’s

They all kinda sucked…..I would have to say AJ though based on the sole fact that he kinda looked like he was having fun unlike the other two….

Definatly Taegoon. He’s the only one i listen to and he pwned AJ and Chung Lim in that dance battle, who knew he could do that finishing move!

 
vietnerdx3's avatar

@25 ; agreed . but since there isn`t , i picked taegoon . xD

 
HiBye2's avatar

they were all good but i like taegoon more

 
Nozomi's avatar

i wish there was option for none in the poll.

 
Snapdragon's avatar

Taegoon had some pretty sick moves, so I’d say he won.
But I happen to know that Chung Lim’s a better dancer than what he just showed!
I wonder what happened….he should’ve done much better.
I’m not complaining though.
He may not have had the greatest moves this time around, but I’m reeeeaaallly liking his attire.

 
love 'em's avatar

they’re all great…..but i choose taegoon….

i like Chung Lim so no matter if he didn’t do his best I’m fine with it. I think he doesn’t want to strain his muscles because I heard he was still working out even though his muscles hurted. and the cameraman was unfair anyway. when Taegoon did his flip the camera was on him only and where the heck was Chung Lim’s part? yeah…..............................

but i do agree Tae goon did better….it’s just i’m a dedicated fan of Chung Lim so I have to support him just like what everyone does.

 
sunny103's avatar

Mees's avatar

ambii's avatar

Taegoon rocked it. :D

 
cdngrl's avatar

Taegoon was the best dancer. Chung Lim is the hottest thought.

 
amigo75's avatar

they all did good, but i think that taegoon had the best music and tricks- also he had the most dance space…

 
mirayah's avatar

I agree Taegoon did the best solo dance his flips were pretty cool, even though Chung Lim didn’t do that well he looked hot in that black beater lol AJ also looked cute

 
no avatar

AJ’s so cute!!!
hey, so since none of them are doing particularly well, maybe they should join forces and be a group

 
melibie's avatar

Wowow Chunglim!!  The solos were really cool, showed a bit of their personal styles.

HOT BOYBAND MAYBE?

 
no avatar

haha, yeah i think tae goon was the best

 
no avatar

Taegoon, definitely. Though none of them weren’t that great anyways. Chung Lim’s ws so…as;ldfjaslfj;. Can’t really say it right with words. AJ’s wasn’t that bad.

 
no avatar

chung lim didn’t really dance until the trio part. he jsut did some pumping and fist pumping.

taegoon really did show his ability i think.
and aj is better than i thought he would be.

“True story” <—How I Met Your Mother Barney Steinsen much???

JanxJae's avatar

TAEGOON OWNED…looked like chung lim was too busy trying to look hot and pretty

 
smilexeffect's avatar

i like AJ’s music and voice, but Taegoon’s dancing has flow to it.
maybe it’s only cuz he’s wearing clothes that look flowy too, but looking at his knees and ankles and upper body float up just looks like he came up with this dance routine. maybe the other two need to get dif outfits.. but yeah AJ and Chung Lim arent bad.
and i think Taegoon didn’t even need to do that acrobatic flip to show that as of the moves he made, it already looked more interesting and ‘fun’ to watch rather than Chung Lim’s then AJ’s. but also it was probably cuz he just had a more upbeat song to dance to.
