Before the competition continues and Junsu's Tarantallegra goes up against TVXQ's Purple Line, it is time to discuss costuming. Particularly, how Jo Kwon's outfit from his debut of Animal compares to Junsu's wardrobe in Tarantallegra. Rarely are such solid outfits to be seen, and rarely do they compare so closely. Let's take a look.

Both outfits are kind of feminine (20 cm heels anyone?). They are both made of good fabrics (and oh the variety!). Both Jo Kwon and Xia Junsu have dancing and powerful behaviour, mixed with feminine 'sexy' moves, which let you know how well the costumes wear and are made. Both have good looking footwear. Junsu has outfits that accent his dancing very well, with well a balanced main outfit and flowy secondary outfits. Jo Kwon has an outfit that makes him look taller and leaner than normal, while still giving him wide shoulders. Thus he can better play on being feminine while still being masculine.
Both costumes, and sets of costumes, play up what compliments the song best. They are well made, with good quality materials. They are coherent, cohesive pieces, and are applied artfully to their purpose. They make me very happy.
That's about all I wanted to say other than, if someone had to win it would be Jo Kwon because his one outfit does what three do for Junsu...and I wish costuming would be this good all the time.
