we'd wanted to cover f(x) for years, and we finally got the chance when we needed a four-member choreo for animefest 2026's k-pop dance off — the same competition that birthed maenix exactly one year earlier. with a smaller team this round, we wrote our own intro music and choreography, leaning into queer and ballroom references pulled from aya sato, fka twigs, and underscores, and even shot a full short film in a forest just to use as our led backdrop. it placed us 2nd at animefest, and a week later we filmed the choreo again as a street one-take so everyone could see exactly what took us there.

wonderland pushed us completely outside our comfort zone — new members, a style we don't usually touch, and a trip to vienna to compete with it. it paid off twice over: this exact routine won us vos-con in december and the k-pop national dance contest in march, earning maenix a nomination to represent the czech republic at the changwon k-pop world festival. we couldn't resist digging deeper than the original either, weaving in ateez's symphony no. 9 version from kingdom and recreating wooyoung's mcountdown dance break.

the second the ot6 practice video leaked, before the song even officially dropped, we knew this had to be a full-group cover. these are easily our wildest outfits yet, wigs included — we even replicated manon's look from the nylon shoot, with huge thanks to our hair stylist for pulling it off.

we were deep into prep for our final spring competition when we squeezed this one in, filming two covers in a single day. this was the warmer afternoon shoot — the morning one is still coming.

our first cover of 2026, filmed in genuinely freezing prague weather between competition prep. xlov's choreography is no joke, and neither was the cold — our hands were numb between takes.

an archive video we dug back up from over a year earlier while prepping for competition season. shot at night, with hairstyles and a filming style we don't really use anymore — it's a fun look back at how much has changed since.

katseye only gave us the chorus and the ending, so we choreographed the rest ourselves and went all-in on monster high cosplay for halloween. coming up with the missing pieces was such a fun process to wrap up.

ive's comeback landed just weeks before jablkobraní, so the choice of song was unanimous. we leaned on lachica's choreography — keeping their practice video on repeat to stay true to the original — and ended up performing it twice: once as a street one-take, and again live on an open-air stage in front of a crowd that showed us way more love than we expected.

we'd had our eyes on ifeye since debut, and once this song took over our fyp there was no question. the choreo is genuinely one of the toughest we've learned — every chorus is built completely differently, packed with detail.

the choreo turned out tougher than expected, but we had it locked in by filming day. we took the line about painting your tongue blue pretty literally — look closely and you'll catch it — and matched the outfits from their performance video too.

nine years since this song dropped, and we still couldn't resist it. this came together while picking a song for an after-party at advík, a convention we'd been invited to. we recreated the music video outfits and snuck in a small easter egg near the end.

a full concept switch from our last cover, filmed in pouring rain that nearly cancelled the whole shoot. watch closely and you can spot the raindrop that hit the lens — everyone powered through like pros, and somehow nobody got sick.

after a flood of requests for a side-cam version of our first-ever cover, we delivered one here instead, filming gnarly twice within a few days: a street one-take first, then a side-cam cut for everyone who asked. coming this late to a song that had already been out for a while gave us the chance to really push the challenge — a two-minute song demands more stamina than you'd think.

this is where maenix actually started. we built the intro music and choreography ourselves and handmade the masks to match badvillain's music video, performing it first at animefest in brno — our very first competition, which placed us 1st and qualified us for the european finals in italy. weeks later we filmed the street one-take version that most people know us by, in 32°c heat, in full leather, in a single take, literally — no retakes, no safety net.
