- Did he just do a front flip?
- Where the heck is this performance going?
- I was on the verge of tears, and then boom! Casper's torso is in my face.
- Am I the only one who finds this hilarious?
- It looks like a mini-drama.
Indeed, although the boys put off Casper's suggestion of incorporating a plot into their performance, they eventually caved in.
In the end, they presented a mini-drama that showed their multifaceted charms.
The stage that had just held the heart-rending performance of 'To My New Beginning' was now transformed. The ambient and emotional white light now replaced by red and blue.
A low, throbbing beat came out of the speakers, vibrating through the floor and into the audience's very bones.
The boys of DAWN stood tall and unyielding at the center of the stage, eyes glinting with a newfound fire.
The acceptance stage was done.
Now, they were in the final stage of the grieving process-revenge.
The six minutes were short, so they wanted to pack a lot of their charms into it. They had already gone the emotional route in the beginning, and now they were preparing for something epic.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
What better song to portray that than one of their songs in their new album-Unhinged? Suddenly, a sharp sound echoed. It sounded like a heavy metal door had been kicked open. The audience flinched in surprise.
The background changed to a digital rendition of rusted locks breaking apart, scattering in a chaotic dance.
The beat intensified, and DAWN exploded into a dynamic movement.
Each step, each kick, was sharp and powerful, reminiscent of martial arts training.
Casper, in the lead, spun in a flawless 540 kick that transformed into a low, sweeping move. The audience gasped, stunned by the sudden ferocity.
- Since when did Casper know these moves?
- He was an athlete!
- The other members are also impressive! It looks like they've worked so hard for this.
The lyrics began, harsh and biting, as Jaeyong's voice cut through the heavy bass.
"Unhinged and unbound,
The silence, the lies, drowned.
This fury, you tried to tame,
But now you're the one in my game."
The dance became even more intense, each member showcasing their martial arts background, or at least the one that Casper had taught them in a span of days.
Akira executed a roundhouse kick while Zeth paired up with Casper for a complicated routine involving mock strikes and flips. Even those who'd never seen DAWN live could feel the power radiating from them.
Backstage, other idols stood glued to the monitors. One of them, from a rookie group, whispered, "This is going to break the internet."
"Correction-it already has," another added, eyes glued to the stage.
In the final moments of the song, June broke away from the circle, sliding into a low stance before rising with a jump, pulling off a twisting sidekick. The crowd screamed as the last note faded, leaving the members breathless but standing tall.
The camera zoomed in on June. The people wondered how the same face showed sadness just mere minutes ago.
Before the crowd could catch their breath, Casper, always the wild card, jumped forward and performed a flawless backflip, landing with an exaggerated bow.
- I just burst.
- Ay yo? What does that mean?
- You don't want to know.
- I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN TICKETS FOR THIS!
- Congrats, astras! We have more fans on our side now (more enemies).
The camera panned back to the group, capturing their expressions-equal parts exhaustion
and exhilaration.
The idols in the audience leaped to their feet, clapping and shouting as if they'd just
witnessed history. And maybe they had.
Six minutes.
All it took was six minutes for DAWN to show one of the best award-show performances of all
time.
