[Interview] Choreographer Rino Nakasone dishes out on her K-Pop protégés SHINee

…The first dance Rino choreographed for SM Entertainment was Korean boy band SHINee’s debut song, ‘Replay’. She recalled the first time she met the five young lads.

“Oh my god, they’re so cute,” Rino raved, “That was like three years ago. They’re like my ‘babies’. They were so fresh and ready to learn. They were also respectful and hard workers.”

She also named the SM Entertainment idols whom she shared a stronger bond with.

“They’re people I talk about dance the most with, like SHINee’s Taemin, Girls’ Generation’s Hyo-yeon and f(x)’s Amber,” Rino said.

If Taemin, Hyoyeon, Super Junior’s Eunhyuk and TVXQ’s Yunho — generally believed to be the best dancers from each team — battled out on the dance floor, who would win?

Rino first protested “it’s not fair” and explained that she would have to see the four do the same choreography before she could rate them.

Out of all her choreographies for SM artistes, Rino listed SHINee’s ‘Love Like Oxygen’, TVXQ’s ‘Maximum’, which she co-created with Jaewon from SM Entertainment, and Girls’ Generation’s ‘Genie’ her favourites.
