  • Taeyong is known for his outstanding dancing skills and he performs like it's something he's been doing his whole life. But actually he started training very late compared to other idols and had no experience in dancing or the industry in general. This video will explain how Taeyong went from thinking "the big 3" was KBS, SBS and MBC to being a main dancer of a group from one of the most well known entertainment companies.
    Hopefully this can inspire people like Taeyong, who has motivation to become better at something because he has proven that it is always possible! Enjoy!

    Taeyong is always such an inspiration. The fact that a boy who had no intention of becoming an idol was found by SM and then he worked hard to the point that he excels in all the qualities of an idol.
    In your life there will always be obstacles. Nothing in life comes for free. Hardships and failures are a part of life. There will be people who mock you, laugh at you, tell you to give up. But it's you who take the final decision. Your life is what you make it. And when you succeed, thank yourself first. Because it was you who decided not to give up.

    When people say that every idol has talent since the beginning, it’s not always true. Yes, some are born with a gifted voice, some are born amazing dancers. But some idols, like Taeyong, were born not even having the thought of being an idol and start with 0 talent to being part of one of the hottest kpop group across the globe. Hard work ALWAYS pays off, never give up guys, never.

      ikrr at first there are many trainees picked for their visual but in the end it's depend on them, they want to improve or not. because if they are not hardworking and good enough they wont be debuted under SM. there are many ex-SM trainee in other company or give up already, so we can make sure the one debuted is really the chosen one. and good in every aspect, talent, visual, and attitude

    Taeyong is not just a leader to NCT, but to the general public. People looking for a reason to not give up. The fact that he never had any kind of intention of becoming an idol but auditioned anyway, and passed! Truly inspiring and I can't wait to see more content like this!

  • @crow2533
    @crow2533 Před 5 lety +26

    I researched a bit about this: most people don’t get casted off the street for no reason. Usually, it’s ulzzangs or people with REALLY good looks. In Taeyong’s case, that’s probably why he got casted (due to the fact he also modeled when he was younger for a T-shirt company). SM is known for casting a lot of idols with good looks too, so it’s nothing new. The person may have no talent, but that’s what SM is there to do. They train the trainee to have talent at either singing, dancing, acting, or rapping (most of the time, it’s a combination). So to everyone who is like me and feel like they have no talent, look at Taeyong and see how far he has come in his skill with rapping and dancing. Your dreams are never too far away! Just work for it and you will make it! :) Have a nice day!

    Im a fan of taeyong but this video just made me literally cry. I cant believe someone can improve so much. His dancing skills are just AMAZING. His expression and his voice just makes it even more better. Watching him right now made me think that nothing is impossible if you work hard and stay focused and determined on your goal. Hats off to this boy. He literally represents NCT and always becomes everyones favorite in the first glance whether its his dancing, rapping, visual, expressions or vocals. He is just too perfect. Thanks alot for this beautiful video, I really appreciate it. Thanks for the hard work.

  • @bogosipeoneouimommommommae7953

    You can tell Taeyong has changed significantly over the years. Not just dance, but everything else that contributes to Kpop such as rapping, singing, songwriting, and producing. I swear his story is like a 5 min excursion filled with emotions, and seeing the progress this "White paper" made within a few years gives me goosebumps.

  • @AmnaZorba
    @AmnaZorba Před 5 lety +283

    this is mainly about me and how taeyong inspired me from this video so y'all don't have to read this if you aren't interested lol
    but anyways the fact that he started when he was 18 (he might have been 17 bc maybe his korean age was 18 ? idk but regardless of that) is so inspiring for me bc i've been wanting to be a good dancer ever since i was 14-15 when i first got into kpop
    one thing that discouraged me a bit was the fact that most of the dancers from kpop that inspired me to dance in the first place/that i look up to all started dancing when they were like 5 years old or just really young in general (momo from twice, seulgi from rv, seungyeon from clc, sinb from gf, lisa from bp and so many more but mainly these)
    i was also really inconsistent with my dancing back then and picking up dancing again at 18 made me feel a bit behind but now knowing that taeyong is so good at dancing and he started at 18 is so motivating for me
    anyways taeyong is an amazing leader and such an inspiration and i'm so glad to be a fan of his right now and i know that he's inspiring so many others too because of his leadership and how talented he is and how hard-working he is thank you for coming to my tedtalk

      DUDE SAME I RELATE SO MUCH TO THIS
      I took up classical dancing at a young age but was so hopeless that my parents had to pull me out of it. I didn't dance for years until I got into kpop 2 years ago and tried a choreo a year back in january, when I was 17. Since then, I've been desperately wanting to get into dancing but all good dancers that I know (kpop and others) started out extremely young. So it was pretty discouraging and hopeless.
      Looking at taeyong and how much he improved fills me with so much motivation to start dancing again.

    People should see this video and be inspired and motivated. I'm a guy and I listen to all of NCT's music because I like their westernized and unique concept. As I dug deeper into NCT even though it's debatable, I can say that Ten is the best dancer in all of NCT because of his natural talent but Taeyong is my favorite in the group. It it just inspiring to know his story. On how he was just nothing to becoming something special through hard work and perseverance. And his past mistakes (real or not) just shows that everyone can't be perfect will constantly make mistakes. I just get inspired and motivated from his story that he is one my role models and I respect him for it. This video is just great and should be seen more by NCTzens and other people too

It really gave me the hope and motivation to just try and learn as much as I only can and try getting into a musical theatre university when I finish high school.

They can be nurtured and encouraged but, take my word for this -- no amount of hard work would have ever turned me into the genius dancer that he is!

Doesn't even know the big 3 companies? The guy who doesn't have any interest on celebrities and even on dancing? and ow, he is known to be one of the great dancer and rapper in the kpop industry who have a good heart.

    That's why this boy, more than just being my bias, is also my role model. Before, I didn't have any confidence in my dancing skills, i learned Blackpink's As if it's your last in TWO years (still can't do it properly right now but i would only practice it when my friends came over tho, so not often). Then, I started learning NCT's dances with his fancam. I soon found out that boygroups' dances were more suited for me. I would say, my moves are too rough for a girl ? I've always hated this part about me but thanks to Taeyong I learned how to embrace and turn what i thought were my defaults into my best qualities... I know I still lack a lot, but at least he gave me the motivation to improve myself. He doesn't know who I am and yet... I'm so grateful, it feels like I owe him one.
    Thank you if you read it until the end. I apologize for any bad mistakes i could've made since i'm not a native english speaker.

    His progress is so fast, I mean he became a trainee in 2012 and became a center, main dancer & main rapper since when SM introduced the Smrookies in 2013.
    He only needed more than a year to get that title, I mean, I can't imagine how struggle he faced while undergoing that process.
    And haters still doubts him, without a lot of knowledge about him, if you have a lot of abilities not you who are looking for, but you are the one they looking for and that person is LEE TAEYONG!!

    I always look up to Taeyong. He is so inspirational. I’m almost 18 and I’ve always wanted to dance but I never told my parents that I have that kind of dream. And I often regret that I didn’t tell them and sometimes I think that it’s too late for me. Many of my friends from school have been learning to dance for around 5 years or more. But the story of Taeyong gave me strength and belief that everything is possible and I can do it no matter what. So I’m planning to start my dance adventure. And every time that I lost my motivation I’ll always come back to his story to know that I never should give up and go after my dreams. I know that you’ll never read this but thank u Taeyong for everything you do for NCTzen sometimes not even intentionally. We will always love you ❤️💚❤️ 사랑해요 우리 태용이 ❤️💚❤️

    I genuinely think he was born with the talent but it was dormant. For real for real because only someone that was born to be a performer can have the stage presence and charisma this man has. It’s one thing to learn how to dance and sing but stage presence isn’t someone that’s taught. He worked super hard and the talent that was already within him aligned with him naturally to produce one of the top 5 kpop idol in the whole industry❤️

Now... after I watched this vedio. I don't know what is the other term for DEEP, because really. I fall hard and deep for taeyong. He is beyond standard as an Idol, and I don't have regrets stanning talents and SM artists. From SNSD, EXO, RED VELVET AND NCT. This is really inspiring story of him, becoming so so so so much talented after a few years of training. Well he is born hardworking and determined.
    And he really is a good example of a person who does not easily discourage by words of disappointments, instead he helps himself and work hard to learn and learn and learn and discover his hidden talents. His not only handsome, not only talented but a man with high courage and determination. I don't know how many praises well be enough for him... he's just tooooo good!
