Taeyang poses with Shaun Evaristo and Rino Nakasone


These days, much of the attention is not only focused on the idols themselves but also on their choreographers.
Many of you know of Rino Nakasone’s close ties with the SM family as she choreographed for many of the SM Entertainment artists. Most of you also know of Shaun Evaristo’s ties with YG Entertainment, especially for his work with Big Bang and Taeyang. Well, recently, these two artists came together and took a friendly picture with the one and only Taeyang!
Along with a picture, Rino Nakasone recently tweeted, “With Taeyang and his choreographer @shaunevaristo They are amazing!! Shaun I miss u here! in Seoul! haha!!”
This update definitely proves that there is no rivalry between these two choreographers, even though they are currently working for rival companies. And I’m sure that most of the artists in these two companies are in good terms with each other as well. Let’s just leave the fighting and competition up toLee Soo Man and Yang Hyun Suk!
