However, behind their cool choreography, there is someone who came up with the dance moves and taught the members how to do it. This person is the choreographer who also has a very important role in the performance of BTS. So then who are they? Precisely! In this article, Channel-Korea will provide you with a rundown on everything about “Who is The Choreographer Behind BTS’s Fabulous Dance!” So, stay tuned!
Son Seung-duk
Son Seung-duk, this name didn’t really ring a bell in our ears at first. However, he is the director of Bighit Entertainment and he has already been working with BTS from the beginning. He has come up with a lot of the choreographies for the songs of BTS, ever since their debut, such as the one for “Danger.” And not only Son Seung-duk is capable of coming up with the choreography, but he can also stand in for a member who might be absent, like in the case of Suga when he was sick. At that time, during BTS’ practice, Suga had to be hospitalized and his position was filled by Son Seung-duk, so the members continued with the practice without missing a member.
Even though sometimes he doesn’t participate in the choreography, he is still involved in the dance process. As in BTS’ MV “Not Today” and “DNA,” Son Seung-duk’s name was included as supervisor of the choreography and appearance. He received an award from the Minister in Korea at the 2016 Popular Culture Arts Awards. He also became the first K-Pop choreographer to tour America with a workshop, there are also workshops in Europe, Asia, and Japan. Not only BTS received an award, but he also won an award as “The Style of This Year” award at the Gaon Chart Music Awards.
BTS’ most popular choreographies are the ones for the songs “DNA,” “Danger,” “We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2,” “RUN,” “I Like It,” and “No More Dream.” The choreography of DNA is harder than any other dance, even members of BTS have admitted to it. And below are the choreographies that Son Seung-duk has made for BTS’ songs. I Need You (Choreography)

Keone Madrid is responsible for the choreography of BTS’ songs “Dope,” “Not Today,” “Fire,” and they also participated in “DNA,” and “Blood Sweat & Tears.” Fire (Choreography)
They are also the people behind the success of “Singularity,” a song sung by BTS’ V as his solo song from the album LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR. “Singularity” had been watched more than 12.4 million times within the first 24 hours after it was officially launched. This is mainly because the dance and choreography are incredibly good, energetic and the song’s message is easy to get. Keone Madrid also recorded the choreography that he and the team did and sent it to BTS members, so they could learn.
