Aside from being self-producing idols, they are also dubbed as the "theater kids of kpop" and being a theater kid myself it totally makes sense, but there might be others who don& #39;t understand that& #39;s why I am making this compilation.

In theater, the purpose of this game is to top the energy and emotion of the previous player and overpower them.
Seeing them play this explains why whenever they perform on stage, the energy of whoever is in the center tops the previous one @pledis_17

It& #39;s a normal svt thing to play games all the time but this is actually a high level game of concentration when it comes to acting. You need quick thinking, fast reflexes & imitation to stay in the game

This mansae performance they did in the dressing room was so theatrical. Their performance space wasn& #39;t limited to a stage but they made use of the whole area and made a fun & interesting storytelling for mansae

Let me just take a moment to talk about mafia dance Vernon.
1. His acting skills
2. His concentration level
3. His sensitivity and ability to feel out the other members that& #39;s why he could dance along even though another song is playing for him

Professionalism at it& #39;s finest. Jeonghan& #39;s sleeve got caught in one of the hangers and DK managed to smoothly unlatch it from Jeonghan& #39;s sleeves. Great presence of mind & fast relfexes

Can I geek out abt this? This is a theater exercise on levels and sensitivity with your co-performers and making sure that attention will be directed towards what needs attention through leveling. It& #39;s just I& #39;m so amazed seeing them incorporate this

In GoSe Bad Clue, they didn& #39;t get a script but they were all assigned chatacters that had specific roles and missions they had to complete in the story. Those missions will further progress the story the production team has written.

The boys did such a good job staying true to their characters and progressing the plot of the mystery. They would lose concentration and break character every now and then (which was the cutest thing
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☹" title="Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht">) but they were so dedicated to their roles.

This legendary scene with Mingyu and Minghao was the most intense moment of GoSe Bad Clue. They were so immersed in their characters and their given situation that& #39;s why this was the reaction they gave one another. I still get goosebumps when I see this
We all love our adorable seoksoon. They may be unpredictable most of the time and always goof around, but hey look at their acting skills

Aside from being amazing performers they also pretty much like doing production stuff. Here we see Mingyu as the camera director and Seungkwan taking over the lights console.

The spiking (stage marking) is both functional and aesthetic. It& #39;s for blocking but it also adds to the set design
