The performance of "STING" added to the fun of watching by sublimating the actual boxing techniques "Weaving" and "Sway" movements into choreography. On top of that, Jooheon completed a powerful choreography in collaboration with dancers, and at the same time, added a lively facial expression to provide a deep sense of immersion, proving the modifier of "trustworthy (a performance to watch and listen to)."
