Oftentimes, K-Pop companies will hire choreographers to make “demo” dances for upcoming releases for their artists. Usually, this sort of deal works by allowing the company to choose to keep or scrap as much of the dance as they see fit, and adjust it until it gets approval. It’s interesting to see how similar or different demo versions can be from the official dances! Here are 16 different examples.
