performance drive

It's like a sex drive, but for performances. One's engagement in performing.

BTS's Jungkook has a crazy performance drive. He's always dancing and singing like the rent is due.

Putting on a performance

You can see...

Hym "How they are just putting on a performance, right? We shouldn't be doing that anymore. Look... No matter what I say it will not turn off the spiral. If it is going off there is only one thing that can be done. You REE-lon couldn't EVER do it without me. Not in a million billion years. Seriously. Do I have to plug your nose and pretend my middle finger is an airplane or something? This is childish."

Ghost Performer

A ghost performer is someone who fills in for a type of performance or routine if a member isn’t available it could be someone random or someone that a choreographer would know of with the same skill set that would be used in the routine or simply a hired stunt double or someone who can execute a role in a performance when needed.

A ghost performer is needed due to one of our members not being available for our circus routine.
