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.

Two of them didn’t even look like they tried to dance lol. Taegoon looked like he tried just a bit more than the other two. I think if they really wanted to dance battle, then it would be completely at a completely different level than that. That was just for the show, not much effort.
I liked Taegoon’s acrobatics in the end, so he wins in my book.

I like Chung Lim the best when all 3 of them were dancing together. The hottest! Taegoon has the best dance choreography out of them all. But overall their dancing somehow don’t satisfy me.

i sooo agree, if anyone it was taegoon

 
iJellyx's avatar

AJ reminded me of Seungri in another dance battle O__o
Anyway, I love Taegoon, But I liked AJ’s dancing in the Boom Boom Pow the best. But for solo, I think taegoon. And I’ve never heard of Chung lim but he’s HOT O__O

okay I am so unbiased with my opinions on these 3 cause truthfully they don’t spark like the other male solos before them
my opinion
1st dancing
I would say AJ cause his choreography actually flows nicely and it looked well put together
which also is further complented with his outfit
(plus did you see that body wave?)
2nd
I would say it was Chung Lim because even though it was lacking it was still pulled together with the hip hop style and his outfit was quite a sight
(I mean look at those arms)
3rd
it would be Taegoon cause even though his choreography and moves were great
it was too all over the place and his outfit was just horrible!!

ehhh just my opinion
I base it on the overall performance
together dancing to my jam Boom boom pow the were great
= ]

I LOVE THEM ALL!

Taegoon won hands down. AJ would’ve been 2nd and Chung Lim last.


AJ was nothing special. I expected more from you!! XD Chung Lim was horrible. Dude look like he just came up with it right on the spot.


And of course, the all classic dance now, BOOM BOOM POW. BD Had Wooyoung jumped in, he would’ve won. It’s so his dance, LMAO.

not entirely impressive in my opinion. But at least all three of them were hot.

this wasnt that great, and taegoon, to me, only won cause of that flip. >.> that was no rain or yunho or any of the dancing greats

 
no avatar

man taegoon was DEFINITELY better than the other two haha.
i thought aj was ok butttt idk, it just didn’t “hit it” for me.

 
°° haelimm's avatar

ahhahahaa, it was hard choosing which one I liked the most, but I am going to have to say Taegoon. Majority speaks anyways.

I would have to say Taegoon!  He was sexy and danced well. AJ was good too, he stood out a bit during the group performance, but i think a part of that was because he was wearing white. LOL Chung Lim didn’t really dance in the beginning but dangggg he sexy!

 
Naly-sama's avatar

Taegoon was the best :D But ChungLim was hott <33

 
no avatar

taegoon’s dance was the best out of the three, but nothing spectacular
all three of the boys could have done a lot better though, they have the potential
chung lim and aj danced like they were at a club, nothing impressive at all
they should have tried to actually choreograph a dance for the battle
(would that have just made too much sense for a dance battle? haha raspberry)

 
Jenniferjl's avatar

I think Aj has this awesome stage presence that the others are missing his moves are just more POW!.. so yeah taegoon did a flip but when he was dancing he looked more like air traffic control to me. My votes on AJ. he also looked the best when all three of them were together.

 
Wekya's avatar

I think Taegoon owned them pretty badly. Chum Lim just kinda.. did things sporadically. AJ tried but it didn’t look so good. Then Taegoon busts out some moves that resemble dance. And the little flip thingy put a cherry on top. Ok, so it wasn’t total ownage, but I think he did put more effort into it than the others. ><

 
no avatar

taegoon =D i noticed he reuses a lot of his dance moves though…loved the last dance with all of them together!

 
rock n roll queen's avatar

Chung Lim is so damn hot he can call me anytime but Tageoon was the best ,AJ’s solo wasn’t that great,I felt like something was missing but i thank that they all r not all that great coz i thank rain & se7en r batter then them i remember well they perform im on me tows god they r good & if i have to Chose i can not they r that good .... but when they all perform the some dance i think that Chung Lim was the most notable ....

In the initial part of the battle, the solos…Chung Lim didnt impress me that much. I expected more from him. Taegoon looked relly cool doing his mid air thingy. But when the three of them joined for the group synchronized performance, Chung Lim caught my eye. When dances are different you can’t really compare them to eachother.
But wow, chunglim rocked and showed much more energy than the other two!!!! O.O

 
insomniac's avatar

they’re all so freakin’ HOT. i think taegoon was the best in the solo performances, but aj did pretty well in the group performance. he’s so cute. they’re all so cute.

 
Linhny's avatar

Chung Lims part was a bit boring… .__.”

But Taegoon was definitely the best <3.

 
WoAiNiHaru's avatar

Woww TaeGoon.~

 
Cครєу's avatar

ok so they all could have been a hell of a lot better… but yea i agree taegoon wins by well..  not much but he wins cos out of all of them he puts in the most effort and has the most energy. Too bad he can’t look like chung lim though cos he is smoking hot or AJ cos AJ is a real cutie… *sigh* i kinda agree with what someone said about them just making a group together… it might work out better for them… who knows.

I expected more but I still love these guys <3

 
lizzieesoh's avatar

chunglim is so freaking hot no doubttt
but taegoon’s dance was the best dear lord all actually 2/3 are hot not a big fan of aj ahahahah nonetheless all pretty good glasses

 
KarenBooxD's avatar

All 3 were good, buh i guess TaeGoon rocked it best.

 
Niuniu's avatar

They did okaaaaay, not the BAM that was once so dominant in solo guy artists.  One of the reasons probably due to the fact that ever since Rain and Se7en being almost the first pop soloists, people cant seem to compare, or always remember how big they were that others cant rise up to the place.  Either way, though I liked Chung Lim @first, I’m finding AJ pretty down to earth.

Taegoon FTW (:

All 3 of them I felt did not put their all into it, especially ChungLim. I voted for TaeGoon just because he added a little extra umph with the martial arts move. But it was a hard decision btwn Taegooon and AJ because AJ has this stage presence that makes his performance hot ^^

i think AJ danced better as a group, but solo AJ and Taegoon are similar to each other…so i dunno…..taegoon smile is to die for

 
Feng's avatar
