I’d laugh my ass off if Jihoon is a better tutter than Hanbin because his fanbase would lose 80% of their identity. “THE BEST TUTTER EVER!” “#1 MAIN DANCER” “ONLY PROFESSIONAL QUEER STYLE MALE DANCER!!!” They’d all cry in unison in some vapid attempt at defensiveness and protection over a man that will never know they exist. I feel like Hanbin has been put on a pedestal and while I do believe he genuinely means a lot for future queer idols and representation, at the end of the day tutting and waacking and ballroom are just some of the many styles of dances in the world. While Hanbin does mean a lot for representation, his speciality doesn’t inherently have more worth than to say those that specialize in krumping.
It would be surprising since he's so closely associated with it and given the title but honestly it isn't too crazy to here kpop fans will rlly just hype their idols up to be the best at anything even if they're not. It's just crazy to me how much people have made it an identity marker for him
probably besides the point and maybe no one gaf but anon i'm pretty sure tutting has nothing to do with the lgbt community so idk how it relates to the 'queer dance' conversation. i guess ppl just think it does since hanbin did waacking as well as tutting and that actually has roots in the lgbt community, plus he learned tutting bc spella incorporated waacking with tutting but 😭 i hardly even see hanbin stans (or at least the loud ass solo stans/akgaes) bring up his waacking or voguing these days anyway like it feels like they make an effort to not talk about it since hanbin doesn't lmao. they're always talking about tutting or sometimes hip hop
yea lmao idk the history of either dance so I couldn't say but I just meant having the tutting idol title in general is a pretty strong niche he has especially for how new of a celeb he is
