10 Male K-Pop Idols We Would Love To Take A Masterclass In Dance/Performance From

It is clearly evident that when it comes to performances, K-Pop idols hold the mantle as some of the best dancers and stage performers today. From their captivating expressions to their brilliant concepts, intense choreography, mind-blowing stunts, and impeccable stage presence, many K-Pop idols understand just how to deliver not just an exceptional stage performance but a noteworthy and memorable one as well. And hopefully, they will get to teach us their tricks someday.

While the stage forms the platform where we vividly see these K-Pop express their dance skills, in many contents, we have often seen just how hands-on or interested they also are in the formulation of their (and their groups) choreographies. This clear and consistent passion for dance and performance duly feeds our stance that these idols are not just exceptional performances but could also be good teachers and if they ever host a masterclass on dance/performances, we will be duly signing up.

Here are some of the amazing male performers we would love to take a masterclass on dance/performance from.

1. EXO's Kai

Kai is the king of contemporary meets Hip-Hop and his dance moves irrespective of the concepts or styles are always an art form. With each move he makes, it feels like an expression of the lyrics or message of his performance. For someone who has been performing at the top of his game for over 11 years now, he still holds a firm grasp on grasp on the trident and is still revered as one of the very best performers in K-Pop's history. He doesn't necessarily conform to the trends, rather he always brings his own twist to it, a move that makes you say "oh! So this is how Kai would do it". A masterclass with Kai will definitely be very interesting to attend and the opportunity to grasp even just an inch of his knowledge is one that no one would want to miss it. Idols and fans alike.

2. Rocky

Rocky proves that rappers can be amazing vocalists and they can very well be excellent performers too. There is simply no limit when you are this creatively skilled and striving for the opportunity to be better in all areas. As a performer, Rocky is the crème de la crème! From his daredevil dance moves to his captivating expressions, swift and clean motions, and a 110% delivery on every stage, watching Rocky perform is such a wholesome experience as there is never room for dissatisfaction. With a vast knowledge and experience across many styles of dance, Rocky brings to the classroom, an invaluable experience and hunger that he can imbibe into the minds of his students. Something that could serve as a driving force to achieve amazing success and deliver quality performances just like he does.

3. ATEEZ's San

The supremacy of Choi San has finally begun and we are very excited about his rule. When it comes to performances, ATEEZ's San has been dominating the airwaves, with many fans cheering his name and creating reels of these dance moves. Why? Because he is just that good. Perhaps that answer doesn't do proper justice to the amount of skill he carries on his broad shoulders but frankly, there are no words or phrases in the English vocabulary that can describe or define the power and talent that San brings when it comes to performances. San burns up the stage and leaves fans amazed as we all try to fathom the brilliance we just witnessed. A masterclass with San is one that we would readily sign up for as we can already tell it would be entertaining, chaotic, but also very impactful as like the dutiful tutor, he will make sure you gain your money's worth of knowledge and then some.

4. SUPER JUNIOR's EunHyuk

EunHyuk has held the mantle of being one of the best K-Pop dancers across generations. Till today, he is revered for his stellar contributions to the growth and global success of K-Pop. Never resting on his amazing laurels, EunHyuk continues to push himself, seeking how he can be better with each day, and expanding his creative horizons by delivering works of art in both music and performances. With a vast experience in the field, a masterclass with EunHyuk will no doubt be a very engaging one as we are sure that we would not just walk out of the studio dripping in sweat and muscles aching but also filled with great knowledge and words of wisdom that will no doubt be very impactful.

5. SF9's Yoo Taeyang

Frankly, the way Yoo TaeYang moves needs to be documented and studied because oftentimes, his motions defy the concept of science. The body should not move as swiftly as the wind or be that flexible. It is always mindblowing watching Yoo TaeYang perform as he delivers intense motions in such a swift and yet graceful way that makes you beg the question "how is that even possible". We describe Yoo TaeYang as an artist who treats the stage as his canvas and uses his body as the paintbrush that creates a masterpiece. The chance to pick his brain and gain some vital tips on how to move with such fluidity and brilliance is one we are sure no one would want to miss out on.

6. DKB's Harry June

Harry June has shown his qualities as a professional dancer and choreographer since he made his debut. Well-versed in the hip-hop scene, he always delivers a vibrant and energetic performance that leaves you breathless and stunned at the same time. He seems to understand the synergistic flow of the music and the choreography beautifully well and never misses a beat with his delivery. Even though he is still relatively new in comparison to the idols on this list, we believe he has the talent to host a masterclass in performance and we will be signing up for a lesson.

7. NCT's Ten

Whenever we make a list of anything relating to K-Pop idols and performances, Ten is always mentioned because he simply is the standard and/or the definition of what a truly excellent stage performer is. With Ten, in our experience, we always find ourselves rewatching his performances over and over again, and regardless of the number of times we see a particular performance, there are several moments that give us the same feeling of chills and goosebumps as we had the first time we saw them. This is the effect that Ten has on his audience. If Ten ever decides to host a masterclass in dance, there is no doubt it will be sold out within seconds and we would be front row, ready to receive the Ten experience.

8. BAE173's JunSeo

From our POV, JunSeo is a budding choreographer who has contributed to many of the choreographies for BAE173 songs and performances today. An amazing performer, he clearly has a passion for dance and the inept ability to pass on the skill to others. As BAE173 continues to grow immensely and gain more popularity, we can rightly predict that JunSeo will earn and make a name for himself as one of the best performers and choreographers in K-Pop. And while we wait for the inevitable day, we will gladly sign up for his masterclass as we are sure we would walk out of the class, hearts thumping loud, limbs aching, but hearts and minds duly full of knowledge about dance.

9. BTS' JiMin

At this point, is there a dance style JiMin cannot do? Because watching a lot of his dance content, we have seen him deliver an amazing performance in many styles and genres of dance. From contemporary to hip-hop, ballet, and street style, when it comes to dancing, like his sound, JiMin continues to expand his horizons, tapping into various styles and delivering a result that is always impactful in the minds of his audience. Judging by many of his contents, JiMin is just the right idol to hold a masterclass in dance/performance as he is hands-on with an unwavering willingness to both learn and share his creative inputs as well.

10. SHINee's TaeMin

There are no proper words or phrases that would rightly describe the state that TaeMin leaves his viewers after a performance. TaeMin on stage is simply spellbinding, as you are in a transfixed state of bliss, wonder, and sheer amazement as to how he delivers such an intriguing and thoroughly satisfying performance. With a vast and invaluable knowledge and experience in the field, as a host of a masterclass in dance, TaeMin has a whole lot to offer. From in-depth training sessions to words of advice, a TaeMin masterclass will definitely not be a one-off thing as there will be requests for it to become a recurring event.
