yangyang appreciation thread because he is more than just stan twitter’s funny guy from wayv. he’s an extremely talented rapper, dancer, vocalist and lyricist on top of being an amazing person!
1. people know him mainly as a rapper, but he actually participated in IMLAY’s track ASTEROID as a vocalist. yangyang said he practiced really hard to nail the pronounciation of the lyrics in korean, and he’s happy with how it worked out in the end. remember to stream on youtube!
2. i think it’s worth noting how yangyang couldn’t rap or sing or dance well back when he auditioned, so he mentioned that for most of the song he just clapped along to the beat. he was one of the few who got in out of 13,000 around the world trying for auditions.
3. continuing from the second point, this means that he started from almost no background in the arts at all. which means he had to work his way through to get to where he is today. which is, a lot of hard work because it’s really not easy to pick up dance and rap so quickly.
4. yangyang (and kun) worked on a track named LEONIDAS! he wrote the lyrics and composed it together with kun, who recorded + arranged it. it’s still one of my favourite Play Vs to date because it just sounds so good and if you ever doubt his rapping skills, listen to leonidas!
5. i also want to add how yangyang wrote all the lyrics to LEONIDAS by himself. (pics are from juulkay’s analysis of the lyrics from the wayv subreddit) he clearly did a lot of research to write the lyrics and that’s something worth noting! below are the lyrics + analysis :)
6. yangyang did another Play V cover, this time for my heart by christopher (choreo by RyuD)! i love this cover so much because he executed the moves so smoothly and he made the choreo look so cool. watch it below!!
7. here is a small compilation of some of yangyang’s dance covers! these include wow (post malone), good thing (zedd + kehlani), come around me (jb). considering he had 0 dance background, i think he’s very talented for having done these in just one year.
8. in addition to being a rapper and dancer, yangyang is also a vocalist! as seen from asteroid, he actually has really good vocals. this short cover of way back home by shaun really brings that out :) https://twitter.com/yyangg/status/1275550969695256576/video/1">https://twitter.com/yyangg/st...
9. apart from being really talented in all three aspects, yangyang can actually play the violin well! he started learning when he was 4; here’s a video of him covering 七里香 and 可惜不是你 with kun on the piano.
10. yangyang wrote his own rap on only human (together with hendery)! he is an amazing lyricist and the lyrics to only human are some of my favourites. i translated the lyrics into english and wrote an analysis as well (4th pic)! their minds for writing only human >>>
11. he did the dance break for moonwalk alongside ten and lucas for MAMA 2019, both of which are very talented dancers! considering the fact that he was just 19, i think it’s impressive for him to be able to join and lead the dance break. here’s a video clip of it!
12. yangyang’s awaken the world teaser. i don’t have to say anything else for this because it just shows that he can act. i won’t insert the video or pics here because i know they can be triggering. search it up if you want to watch it!
13. yangyang rapping in korean for tbt! he actually mentioned that he had trouble with it because it’s hard to rap in another language you’re not 100% familiar with (it’s his 3rd/4th language), but he still managed to do it and make it sound so good!
14. last but not least! he is fluent in 4 languages (english, mandarin, german and korean) i made a compilation of him speaking these 4 languages + a little spanish! his ability to pick up and master languages so quickly is incredible. he is also still taking eng & german class!
15. end of thread <3 i hope people start to recognise yangyang for his talents and skills because he is super capable of becoming an all-rounder! considering his age, he is doing really really well :)
16. bonus! yangyang single handedly leading the dance break in take off during the zhejiang new years gala 2020 is something everyone should see.
