Nice(?) move from CYE management: they booked the guys for GDA 2025 (dec03 announcement for day1) even before the finale (dec27). And for this awards show, the official lineup added a rap part and dance break that is....not so good lol (just my opinion tho).
So far I've only seen https://youtu.be/XPVjPcFFoW0?si=yCv36bCfHkmRM_EA
(I could be wrong coz of vid quality and angle) Kyoungbae sang bingua's and hajoon's parts on first verse while yeojun (his vocals for this was good) sang chenyu's. I'm not sure who sang the rest of the chorus but I think minwook did some of it's main vocals. Then comes minwook's rap. It sounded cool at first but I personally thought it was too long coz the entire thing was done only by him (Couldn't they divide the part since they have a lot of rappers)(It replaced all verses before the 2nd chorus. I really liked the orig's version coz it's more catchy). I think they made the adjustments coz those parts after the 1st chorus were mostly high notes. Then there's the dance break that came after that rap: it was ok til that actual break in the song before the 2nd chorus starts. The transition seemed akward to me. I mean, everyone else was crouching down encircling the center (mjx?) who was the only one left standing. So to me it felt like them standing up and getting back to position was atleast one beat a lil too late for the chorus. It made it more seem like there's only backing track (or whatever it's called) that's doing the singing.
I read that gda2025 was pre recorded with a delayed broadcast. But did they actually sang live during the recording? It seemed too much like lipsync (tho minwook's part could've been instrumental and he just added the rap coz his part sounded live. Afterall, it was just dancebreak right after that rap).
