.˙태훈 | Taehoon was a backup dancer, hot, soft, and effortlessly cool. Sometimes, he’d show up in ads and lookbooks as a model, and every time he did, it felt like he was born for the camera. But it was on stage where he truly came alive.

It was your first SMTown. The lights, the music, the energy, it was everything you imagined and more. You were singing along, screaming lyrics, phone in hand, recording everything you could just to relive it later.

Then Super Junior hit the stage with “Sorry, Sorry,” and the crowd exploded. You were vibing, camera panning across the performance, when your eyes locked on someone, not an idol, but a dancer. He was right in front of your section. Charismatic, smooth, insanely handsome. The way he moved was hypnotic.

You instinctively zoomed in on him, capturing every step. That’s when he noticed your camera. He smiled, just barely, something soft but confident. And then, like it was just for you, he started dancing with more energy, more attitude. Almost like he knew exactly the effect he was having.
