‘Suppa’, which became a national competition, exploded from the first episode…It’s a dopamine hell

Mnet ‘World of Swoopa’, which expanded the scope of the national competition, got off to a brisk start with a dopamine-filled development from the very beginning.

The first episode of Mnet ‘World of Street Woman Fighters’ (directed by CP Kwon Young-chan, PD Choi Jeong-nam / hereinafter referred to as ‘World of Street Woman Fighters(WSWF)’), which first aired on the 27th(Tuesday), featured the first meeting of six crews who gathered to determine the true global number one, followed by a battle of underdogs.As it expanded the scale to a five-country competition involving Korea, New Zealand, the US, Japan, and Australia, it boasted an even bigger scale and more intense dancing.

The broadcast on that day had a successful start, recording a peak viewership rating of 2.0%.(AGB Nielsen Seoul Metropolitan Area, paid household standard)Not only that, but the 15-39 target viewership rating took first place in the same time slot including terrestrial channels, proving hot interest from the first broadcast.On X(formerly Twitter)real-time trend, a key indicator of topicality, keywords related to ‘World of Swoopa’ rose to a whopping 12, including ‘WSWF’, and 4 related videos entered the Naver TV TOP 100 immediately after the broadcast, drawing attention.

The scene that opened the broadcast was the face-to-face meeting of the six crews.AG SQUAD, centered around Kaea, Lucybaby, and Kyra who led the golden age of the ‘Royal Family’ ; American representative Motiv, BUMSUP MOTIV a group formed by the leaders of Season 1 of ‘Street Woman Fighter’ and Lip J; OSAKA Ojo Gang, centered around Ibuki and Kyoka who have swept the world’s top dance battles; RHTokyo, led by world-renowned choreographer Riehata; and the world-famous dance crew ROYAL FAMILY, all entered the fight club and engaged in a fierce war of nerves.

The scene became even more heated as the predicted winning rankings, which are the pride of the national competition, and the No Respect status of each crew were revealed.In particular, unlike previous seasons, the way one leader received all the underdog nominations received by the entire crew attracted attention.Honey J, the leader of Beomjeop, who came in 4th in the predicted winning rankings, received a total of 12 stickers, and it was shocking to see that 5 of the No Respect stickers were Aiki’s.RH Tokyo, which came in 1st in the predicted winning country rankings, received 8 No Respect stickers, and Royal Family, which came in 6th, received a whopping 13 No Respect stickers.

The full-scale ‘Country vs.Underdog Designation Battle’ presented an immersive experience that did not allow the viewers to take their eyes off of it for a moment.In the first half, which was an individual battle, Beomjeop Honey J vs Motive Marley, Age Squad Aliya vs Beomjeop Aiki had a dance war, with Motive’s Marley and Age Squad Aliya winning respectively.Gabi showed off a heel battle with Age Squad’s Danika when Team Beomjeop was in danger, and enjoyed the joy of victory after a fierce rematch.In particular, ‘Queen’ Gabi’s showmanship, which showed off a selfless dance using the entire space, drew enthusiastic applause along with favorable reviews such as “the devil’s star quality.”

There were also some surprises.Among them, the bloody match between Japanese crews and the Royal Family’s new and old battle were other highlights.The match between Osaka Ojo Gang’s Kyoka, who is rooted in hip-hop and battle culture, and RH Tokyo’s Riehata, who is strong in choreography, overturned everyone’s expectations and Riehata won.The Royal Family’s new and old battle also had a dramatic twist as the young Pi Tasha defeated the red-haired Kaea.In particular, the Royal Family, who were considered the top candidates for elimination, continued their winning streak despite the prejudice that they were the weakest, signaling the beginning of a rebellion.

The revenge match between the world’s strongest waxers, which took place after 10 years, also gave an exciting dopamine rush.Osaka Ojo Gang’s Ibuki and Panchop’s Lip J, who had previously faced each other on the world stage, met again through ‘World of Supa’.Ibuki, who had a painful defeat to Lip J in the past, nominated Lip J as his underdog in the battle, and the dancers of each crew and even the judges were seething with excitement at the match that had never been seen before.The protagonist who emerged victorious at the end of the rematch was Lip J.The two, who presented a stage as if they were one team, gave each other a warm hug after the battle, creating a strange sense of emotion.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, the second half of the underdog nomination battle for the nation’s pride was announced, along with the class mission, which is called the flower of ‘Supa’.Mnet ‘World of Supa’, which is expected to create another syndrome as a national competition, airs every Tuesday at 10 PM.
