Sugawara Koharu designed the [Good Evening] Choreography hoping that SHINee would “dance facing inside the world of SHINee instead of the camera 

180615 J-WAVE SUGAR WATER cr.TAEM2D (Rough Trans) Koharu: Onew personally got my attention/me. It was my first time [seeing him]. I didn't look them up since I thought it was better to make the choreography based on how I felt at our first meeting. I met him and he was so relaxed

Koharu: Like he'd let out [everything]*. I was like, "that is really great!" I loved how relaxed he was. Like how he doesn't try to put on airs. I was really surprised/amazed. I recommended [contemp dance] to him a lot, I was like  "Why don't you do contemporary dance!" (laughs)

t/n (*) なんかふーって: "ふー” is an onomatoepia to express a sigh or someone breathing out deeply.

Koharu: [...] I said I wanted to make [the choreo] as I watched them. I didn’t want them find stress in dancing. I wanted to decide [on the choreography] after seeing the kind of expressions, the kind of expressions they were making when when I saw them [...] 

Koharu: [...] They've done things to convey things to people for a long time, instead of doing the things they've been doing, rather than conveying something together, [...]

Koharu: [...] I just thought on my own that it'd be nice if they could have one song, if [good evening] could be a song where they could all ask themselves/each other, where they could face inside their circle, where SHINee could dance and sing to themselves.

Koharu: You look cool when you're sitting down so why don't we just sit. Why do we have to do something 'cool'? But dancing is a wonderful side of SHINee. They're able to sing that much while dancing. Hmmm. [...]

Koharu: [...] So I thought it'd be nice if people could see SHINee looking up, down and to the side - not at the camera but to each other - from all angles.
