still looks better with 7
im so sorry to jisoo for saying that it looks better as 7 but this isnt her fault
now im starting to wonder if back then when the dance choreography for hi~ was designed, did they originally design it for 8 members but came up with another 7 members version OR.. did they design it for 7 members and when jisoo's issue was finally resolved, then simply edit it so that jisoo could fit in
it seems that in candy jelly love at least there was a hole waiting for jisoo to fit in but in hi~ the choreography as 7 is so seamless lol..
in hi~, they use the V shape positioning a lot. which makes the one member stand out, and the other 6 in two groups of three at the left & right side.
now with jisoo back, they simply slot her behind the member that stands out in the V shape lineup
i actually looked through the candy jelly love choreography version and the dance practice compared to the live performance by setting my eyes on jisoo whereever she goes lol. yeap, theres a spot left vacant for jisoo. they merely did some minor positioning changes whereby if jisoo isnt present the V would be broken.
i cant believe i just spent an hour doing this
edited: okay studied the hi~ dance practice vs the live a few more times, okay lah theres a spot for jisoo. maybe its jus the person who designed lovelyz's dance choreography like this kinda pattern..

especially when they form a diagonal line like this -> / 7 person already seems the maximum already, 8 seems too clustered. perhaps the stage not big enough
next up is to study ah choo's dance choreography
but then again, realized jisoo has no solo parts in the hi~ performance
