While the "TKO" stage was premiered on "E SCOUT," Ga Eul's choreography Vlog was also released, garnering attention from fans.
First, Gaul listened to the audio of "TKO" together with dancer and choreographer Shimizu.
Ga Eul presented a creative idea that matched the concept of the song, saying, "I want to make a ring. It would be nice if Lay and I faced each other in it."
On the other hand, he also carefully considered the overall composition, saying, "I'm thinking of dividing the dance break into 3-3 parts, but I'm worried that it might not have enough impact."
After that, Gaul, who worked with Shimizu on the choreography for the pre-chorus and chorus sections, took on the choreography for the second verse by himself.
The dancers were working on each movement, pondering lyrics such as "Step on it hard" and "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
Gaeul also showed that she was considering the strengths of each member by saying that since Lay is good at precise choreography, it would be better to include a slower, more precise choreography rather than a faster one.
Gaeul then worked with Shimizu to refine the details of the choreography, completing it and filming a simulation video with the dancers. Gaeul's first choreography simulation
When the members of "IVE" watched the video of the performance "TKO," they couldn't help but be amazed by Ga Eul's performance in the video, cheering, "Good!" and "Cool!" and giving her generous praise.
At the end of the video, Ga Eul said, "When we decided to hold a fan concert, I first said that I wanted to do 'TKO' with this album. I thought the fans would be happy, and I thought it would be fun to do it with the choreography.
I thought it would be cool if he did it, so I recommended him and proposed to the company that I want to participate in the choreography, and then we decided to create it together with Shimizu-sensei," he said, revealing the story behind how he came to create the choreography.
He continued, "'TKO' is a word often used in boxing, so rather than being 'IVE'-like, we wanted to incorporate a new feeling. Rather than grace and elegance, we wanted to emphasize strength and determination.
I wanted to create a dance that would convey determination, so I created the choreography with that in mind. "It was fun to try it, and I learned a lot from it, so if I have another opportunity like this, I'd like to try it again.
"I want to see it. DIVE (official fan club name)! Please support 'TKO'," he said. IVE, to which Gaul belongs, will start with the Aichi performance on April 12th and 13th.
They are planning to hold a fan concert tour "2025 IVE FAN CONCERT 'IVE SCOUT' IN JAPAN" in four cities in Japan.
