(SMTOWN LIVE 2025-26) (Today's 'ZOO' dance practice DAY) (It's been a while practicing 'ZOO' together) (Trying to get the memories back together) (Thinking about the beat) Is it ddun?

(ddun-ddun(?))

(Feeling a bit iffy) (Felt it's a bit off) The choreography feels a bit funny (hahaha) (Let's keep going first) (It's so funny) (Keep on searching for the beat) Right (Got it down for now) It's good (And to the next part) (For me) I'm in the back (How Team 'ZOO' remembers choreography.mp4) (Discussing) (will just dance) (watch old videos)

(While TAEYONG is checking) (the rest of them dancing) (Checking choreography) (The body remembers the choreography) (Got it checked) Ah, right Ah okay Did you guys already get that far?

(Was trying to review and already went ahead) (And back to getting it feels back) (Checking the parts they can't remember via video) GISELLE has to go over that side We probably go up here, right?

or are we the ones down?

(The three in the front line) Right, the three of us are down at first Yes Told you, I have to go up (On the back row having it down) We...have it down motion (All confused) (Up&down) Guess you did it alternating (All got confused with the memories) (Decided to have the front row down) Let's go with this So up for the 2nd one?

(The front row) Us?

- Right - Right, right (And got the confusing part down too) (V) (Checking where to look) Koongx3 Was it 2 times?

There were two times (Nod) Okay, then let's do it two, two times (Music ON)

(The flap flap)

If it's okay, should we do it once more?

(Yep yep) (Checking the stage alignment ahead of time too) Coming up with the lift The four of you can walk the same way at the protruded stage So walking and (Checking carefully for the timing for lift&protruded stage)

(And continuing the practice) When we do this Don't face the front too much but I think it'd be much better to face it sideways (Getting the details with TAEYONG's advice) Use the front toe like this...

Yes yes (Good student GISELLE) (Got the feedback perfectly) (Checking the lyrics for the live practice soon) (Memorizing it) (Got the in-ears on) (Back to practicing with the hand mic) (Got much more together) This part...

This part...

It'd be great to get the details more for this part (choreography check) we have to go without the first one (Edited ver. simulation)

(Edited ver. simulation) It feels comfortable, but - Without the hand movement? - Without it (Final edited ver) (Music back ON) (Swoosh) (Reviewing time) (For this) Come in a bit more (Will try it again based on what they reviewed)

But it's coming along faster than expected (Though it's been a while, got the choreography down fast) So HENDERY and I have the same timing for the lift, right?

The four of you will have the same timing (Checking the parts that got different from before) (Done with 'ZOO' dance practice) (Today's KARINA's individual practice time for 'Chu~') (Learning one at a time) (Going slowly once)

(Reviewing fast) (To the next step) ONE TWO THREE Chu Ay...?

Ay...?

How did you do that?

(Shook, glasses up) Chak chak Chak Two Three four Chak Put and then lift Chak...

Chak...

- Right - Chachachachak Move positions (When choreography's difficult chak chak is the way to to go)- Let's just try this once /- Yes (The eyes) Do we look this way?

(Got the checks) (Got so good at it now) Right (Music ON till the part they learned) Indeed fast Phew (Cheering up with the compliments, doing it once more) Ah (Keep going) Down Up Down

(Checking the confusing part once more) It's hard for the right foot (Checking once more with the music) (And to the next step) (A bigger 'ha') (The 'ha' continues) (Chap) And look to the side (To the side) and get the legs together (Chap) Aya Ang

And down Whoo (All these onomatopoeia) Kakkakkak It chu It chu Lightly lightly Lightly It chu Make the legs bend like this Huh?

The leg - here back - Huh?

Leg down Chu Chak Chak Do do do do Oh my Do...

(Dance dance) - Open it - Open it?

(Suddenly) open it Wait wait (hahaha) (In despair) (Tell me tips) How'd you do that?

Need to open the legs and then come up (Sharing the tips) Wow, this part's so confusing From the front From the back From the back, no wonder Front...

Front...

No, wait, from the back (It's not easy...)

(Gotta repeat it as confused it is) (Working hard) (And keep on going forward) Think we can move on Great (Got the sleeve saved) (And the hand too) (With this, done with choreography) We're done with the choreography - Ah, it's fast - Fast It's so fast It's super fast (KARINA, master at memorizing choreography) Woah so fast It's been a while, seeing someone this fast at getting it Let's go

(Where are you trying to go, KARINA) Right, where (Decided to go to the world or repeating (Done with practice for KARINA) - Thank you - Thank you Thank you (That same day, time for WINTER's individual practice) Boom Boom and head tilt Oh...!

Oh...!

Let's do it the other side Think it's more comfortable the other side Boom ppoom Two One Two Three Four Get together and tak Get together and tak (Reviewing just the intro, start) Ah (Checking the confusing part again) (Coach first) Switch legs (WINTER follows) Switch legs - (Coach first) One - (WINTER next) One

(WINTER learning each step carefully) And on that spot (To the next part) Ai!

ku!

Ai!

- while going kukuku - Kukuku...

(Special lesson on the aiku part) Chak (Next is WINTER's part) (Curious) When does the arm go up?

(Reviewing once more before trying it with the music) Switch positions (It's supposed to be this bouncy) Right, you're doing it well (Cracking up seeing herself in the mirror) You did great You move very naturally (hahahaha) I was like should we just make that part walking, but you moved so well Wow fast - Fast, fast - Really You're good

(Got the alignment down too, now with the music ON) (And to the next part) Huh?

Uh- - do - do Oh oh oh?

(Not quite the predicted choreography) do!

(WINTER mastering the choreography) I know it's hard to believe it, but it's right Huh? Really?

Huh? Really?

(Hop) (Hop) (overload) Which side do I go for this?

(Calmly trying it out again) Right (Was a bit confused, but did it) Just up till this part (Back with music ON) (Nervous hamster WINTER mode on) (...But got it down)

(...But got it down) (Such professional WINTER, got it done even when confused) (Checking the confusing part by mouth) (The I look good kinda pose) Ah...

(hahaha) Grow up Grow up (Crushed the practice session) Okay...

Okay...

(For the final spurt, getting hydrated) (Back to practice) (The blue bird(from the lyrics) went like) (Got confused because it was the same in the beginning) Ah, this and then the blue bird (Back to the top music ON) Okay, we're done Thank you

(Done with WINTER's individual practice session) (IRENE.SEULGI.KARINA.WINTER here) (Today's group practice for 'Chu~') Hello

(IRENE.SEULGI.KARINA.WINTER here) (Today's group practice for 'Chu~') Hello Your face is really egg shaped You have such a pretty head shape (ay) (KARINA getting all the love from SEULGI) (when you were a baby) You must have been rolling (KARINA rolling) Ah, you got a haircut (Short-haired WINTER's back) Right (The perks of short hair) (Short hair→mid length hair) I can get middle length and long hair too (Mid-length hair→can't do short hair) But I couldn't get the short hair

(Shy) So I got a haircut like this I love having short hair..

(Got the lyrics sheet for the practice) (Cheat sheet) (KARINA checking if she memorized it) (With loving eyes) (IRENE was debating while recording) she sang it in a cute way for the later part make it So I was in the middle like 'which style should I go with..'

'Where am I supposed to match to...'

(Unlike WINTER's) It'd have been funny if you did it in the low tone too Feeling fluttered, heart thump thump (SEULGI will sing it) 'Karina' (Curious) How did you know?

Let's just leave her instead of helping (SEULGI) let's just leave her When we go 'Karina' we're standing in a line (Leaning like) (Such detail) Or we could say to SEULGI, we'll do it for the rehearsal ((Plan 1) Do it till rehearsal and pretend not to know for the concert...') say we'll do it and So do it for the rehearsal (SEULGI will be like) 'Kar...(Ay..)'

(SEULGI will be like) (Tears) (Checking the lyrics in the meantime) We got this (Checking together before the practice) (The journey to memorize continues...)

(Working hard) Do it, Chu (Dancing automatically to WINTER's singing) (In a trance) (hahaha) - Members - Yes?

- Should we have the music on? - Yes

Huh!

I feel shy...

(Music ON) (Lightly starting with the alignment and choreography too) (It's the first time checking alignment, so still confused) (hahaha) 'Karina' (Still got that shout out of 'Karina' mood going) (Huh?) (KARINA trying to find where she has to go)

(Huh?) (KARINA trying to find where she has to go) (hahaha) (After the rough check) (Trying it with counting by mouth) (This is like) Kissing you baby Chachachacha Ang (KARINA) Where are you going (The alignment is still so hard)(Walk walk) where is it? Here?

(Checking the confusing part once more) Okay (Music back ON) (Listening to the main stage alignment) (Intro entrance sound on) (Exciting) Think we can do a few more times and then go

(Back to practice) 'Karina' (Checking choreography whenever possible) left side is up Left side up, like this (Checking the confusing parts with SEULGI's help) (Deep realizations) I went like this Really cool (The misunderstanding brought this cool pose) (Going back to the OG choreography)

(Regression vibes) Doesn't this movement feel so funny?

(Just swoosh swoosh) Just like this Ah This part's confusing - (Just kidding) Should we ask this to be on the prompter? / - How (Where prompter is) Right side, left side (Anyway) We got this Can we...?

Can we...?

(Swoosh) (checking) We got this Don't doubt yourself It's shooting towards outside What did I do?

To the left (Trying to remember what she did) Didn't you go like this?

Right Ah, need to go like this But went like this (The reason she got confused) Boogie woogie bang bang It's so hard (Caught you) Did you just say it's hard?

(Not choreography) But life...

Your life is hard?

It's hard It's not easy Why's life so hard (Back to practice) (bye) Ahhh (Bump) (Difficult practice, just like life) (Checking the part they bumped into each other) Should I go slightly to the back?

(Need to adjust the spot slightly) Think it's because we're too close here Should I do the point slightly towards the outside?

When I do this part...

Or I can move slightly forward Like this Like this?

I'll go like this - and you can go to the back - I'll go like this (Got it solved) (While at it, will do the later part too) (Getting farther in a waddling mood) When we move (They're watching here) (Filming the video this time with the mirror in the back) (A short break TIME) (Removing lint)

(After a short break) (Time for the last practice session) (Almost got confused, but got it through) (There were ups and downs, But got them through) (Ready to go home) we measured (height) And you grew taller what's your height?

I'm 162cm tall 162cm?

(SEULGI/WINTER/KARINA) (Then we're 162cm / 163cm / 164cm) It's 2, 3, 4 What about you, IRENE?

IRENE...

(special facts: All height in 160s(cm)) (Aka below 170cm club) Below 170 Are you in the 150s?

I'm also below 170 We're all below 170cm (KARINA&WINTER here to say bye) Done - Done with practice - Done And should we just go - Let's go - Today..

Our energy levels and theirs are so different - (Same space different energy) - Split like this (Asked IRENE about it already) We said we'll go hang out (during break) she said she doesn't have much plans - so we said we'll bring a beam projector - We'll bring a beam projector and comic books and Dubai chewy cookie (Loud) IRENE, have you tried Dubai chewy cookie?

Of course I saw that! On Bubble...

Dubai chewy cookie something(?)

(Dubai chewy cookie's brought up the love quarrel mood) (Wonder what's going on) - Asked where I had it on Bubble - What are you talking about Very loud inside here - Very passionately talking - Why did you ignore the Bubble message I was hoping you'd reply but you just left I don't know where it is...

Right, you asked me where it is (To.WINTER' Bubble) I'm IRENE... where's that (Dubai chewy cookie place)?'

(To.WINTER' Bubble) I'm IRENE... where's that (Dubai chewy cookie place)?'

She just read it and left (won't tell her) I saw she read the message (Sorry) Send it to her now I don't know where it is...

There's a really good Dubai chewy cookie place I know For the next practice...wait we don't have it this is the only time (Will bring Dubai chewy cookie to Japan like) I'll bring it to rehearsal It's so good I made Dubai chewy cookies (Eyes wide open) Really?

I bought the ingredients but didn't make it yet Is it easy?

- So it requires a lot of effort, but - SEULGI did it well I made it so well Really?

(feeling doubtful...)

(hahaha) (Changed plans for hanging out with IRENE) We should pick up SEULGI pick up SEULGI and Dubai chewy cookie But we both don't have cars, we have to take the taxi (Got lots of stuff) Beam projector and comic books...

(And board game too) That Pop-up pirate game and Halli Galli You guys quite have that old school way of hanging out we need to play Gonggi(Korean jacks) (Old school style of hanging out) Okay, then we'll actually go - Bye (bow) - Bye bye I.SEUL.KA.WIN (IRENE&SEULGI& KARINA&WINTER)sounds cool, the word

Let's go (Starting as soon as getting to the stage) We don't have the intro There's no talking on stage (Sad) Thought we'd talk on stage I thought we had that timing to talk on stage Then should we do it?

Then after we're done for the intro...

(Silhouette bow) With the silhouette? Facing back

So like (Confused) Audience: Didn't they just say something?
