"Things you might have missed from Oh My Girls - Twilight Queendom performance."

After such a dominating performance that people simply can't get enough of OMG has ranked #1 for the 2nd time in the show and is head butting with established sirens Mamamoo and Monster Rookies in G-Idle for all the marbles in the recent songs that they have released.
But that is for another post and for now I would like to put out those little things that might have gone unnoticed since most people are locked into the powerful performance. Jiho said to look for little details in the stage so there I was looking and I was in for a treat.
1) So the much talked about connection between The last Stage of Destiny and Twilight is true as the last steps of Destiny are the continued in one smooth motion into the opening hand gestures of Twilight.
2) Oh my Vampires tells the story of 5 girls who get lost in the woods and are one by one turned into vampires. The story starts with 2 Vampires(Jiho and Mimi) who entice the girls into the woods or probably confuses them into taking the paths into the woods to get them lost(As signified by the dancers blocking any other path but one). And this all takes a turn for the worst as they reach the Dark Castle in the woods with the animated tree.
Want to know the first victim? Arin who sings the first line of the song turns to the others at the start of the song and has been clearly changed from the lost girl into a vampire. Binnie , YooA , Seunghee and Hyojung is the last to be changed. The sequence of the vocal distribution yes.
And that whole rap line that involves Mimi emerging from the tree? This was not the part where they turned into Vampires. This is the part where they are trained to worship the most powerful vampire of the original vampire pair. Notice how it was Jiho and the leader Hyojung who first attached to the tree , followed in sequence by the others. This is a scene of tribute of blood and so to awaken the powerful one. Mimi emerges to give her powerful rap. And the others revel in it.
And that scene where they have their backs to the audience and in between them are the pale faces? That move where these thralls are now lifting up and down and following unseen commands? This scene is meant to show that the other 6 have grown in strength and can now command/compel other vampires of their own.
3) Blond YooA
If Blond Jiho was jarring to the senses then Blond YooA just straight up killed some Miracles and made them rise up again to watch this performance. YooA unleashed as a blond is simply way too much and you really did enjoy her dancing , as if she was lifting off the ground with her grace. Twilight is a powerful dance full of sharp motion but also well defined graceful movements that contrast with each other. The powerful dance break that has been modified to be spread out among all the others(Normally is focuses only on the Main dancers in YooA and Mimi) is simply fun to watch. Blond YooA got into trouble when her hair with became unruly near the end of the song. In the normal version of Twilight her pigtails or flailing long hair would already be deadly but the wig threatened to blind her as she danced. It is a good thing that she knows how to handle it. Hahahah
4) Arin Near Blunder.
Much like in the practice of Twilight where they all feared that YooA would reinjure her left leg after colliding with Arin , there was that fear in the same sequence but you can clearly see that Arin froze just a little to prevent them from colliding against each other. Such control but you have to question the spacing that they gave Arin to work around as they had time to adjust this problematic sequence.
5) Freemind Dancers
They were the trees and vampire thralls and they helped tell the story and elevate it while working with Oh My girl. Notice how the tree moves slowly in contrast to the sharp movements of OMG. And how they timed that slow creep going to the middle as they prepare for Mimi's rap scene. Awesome timing for these guys , hard to pull off but they did.
6) Sliding Bass lines in Jiho's part right after Mimi's epic rap
Seunghee talked about giving Twilight sort of a rock spice and they did not disappoint in rearranging the sliding bass line hook while Jiho sang in this part of Twilight. It did not have the screaming vocals Seunghee said they would add but I would take Jiho's voice over that as she made a full moon motion with her hands dressed in that Vampire dress.
As I write this people are probably enjoying Guerrilla but though I have listened to that wonderful song I still can't get over the fact that Twilight and Oh My Girl is so well loved now.
