When SEVENTEEN’s Joshua made the most iconic choreography ‘blunder’ during Pretty U showcase performance; WATCH
SEVENTEEN’s Joshua once made a mistake during the group’s Pretty U performance. However, it was so smooth that it almost looked intentional. Read on!
From their rookie years, SEVENTEEN was known for their synchronized performance. However, It’s not always easy to maintain the same with 13 members, and even the most perfect dancers sometimes make a mistake. Now, the one thing that matters is how confidently one handles the ‘blunder’ and Joshua did it perfectly, giving birth to one of the most iconic moments in K-pop.
Back in 2016, SEVENTEEN appeared on MelOn premiere for the showcase performance of Pretty U, the lead single from their first studio album Love & Letter. Still rookies, at the time, the members managed to demonstrate their dancing skills and synchronization abilities, something which they were known for, until Joshua’s mistake.
During the second verse’s chorus, he was at the center but ended up going off just a beat, which led him to do the movements at different times than other members before he caught up with them. However, instead of looking like a messy mistake, it looked international because of the way Joshua confidently handled it. There was not a sign of panic over his face and fans couldn’t help but praise his professionalism.
Needless to say, it went on the history as one of the most iconic choreography blunders ever and many CARATs preferred this version to the original one. The video still remains one of the most viral moments in K-pop.
