Mnet‘s ‘Stage Fighter’ will be revealing ballet and modern dance dance films following the hot topic of Korean dance. Who will be the main characters in the two genres?

In the 4th episode of ‘Stage Fighter’ (abbreviated as ‘Stefana’), which will air on the 15th, casting auditions for ballet and modern dance for the main characters in the dance film will begin.

According to the production team, the 3rd episode previously held a casting audition for the main character in the Korean dance dance film ‘Origin of the King: Taepyeongseongdae’, drawing keen attention. Even among the upper class, you can’t let your guard down. Even among the upper class of leading and supporting roles, there was a differentiated hierarchy divided into main and sub, and in Korean dance, Kimugan took on the main leading role as the king, and Choi Ho-jong and Kim Jong-cheol, who were other ‘Firsts’, participated as the spirits of the previous kings, which drew an explosive response.

The main and supporting casting auditions for ballet and modern dance will be revealed in the 4th episode. The three leading roles selected as ‘Firsts’ will directly form a lineup and be evaluated with the 15 members of the corps de ballet, and the three leading roles will each select two supporting roles and audition together, and through these events, the main and supporting roles and the sub main and supporting roles will be selected. On the other hand, the lower-ranking corps dancers are not even given an audition opportunity, making the class barrier real.


In ballet, a fierce battle for the main role unfolds between ace Kang Kyung-ho, who took first place, and ballet prince Jung Sung-wook. There is also interest in what kind of results will come out of modern dance, where there has been a particularly large number of class changes. Kim Young-woong, an amateur master, Kim Hyun-ho, a b-boy technique expert, and Jung Hye-sung, who brought about a surprise through fierce effort, are expected to compete for the main role.

There is considerable interest in the dance films of ballet and modern dance, in which Miyeon ((G)I-dle) and Taemin each participated in the OSTs. The Korean dance dance film with P1Harmony previously proved its interest by entering the 9th place on YouTube‘s Ingeupdong (popular rising videos) when the full version was released. Viewers have been praising the Korean traditional dance film on an unprecedented scale, and have also expressed their anticipation for the ballet and modern dance films that will be released in the future.

Meanwhile, immediately after the dance films by genre are released, a groundbreaking evaluation is conducted in which the other classes directly select candidates for promotion and demotion. Even among the first class, there are two dancers who have been demoted. In the Korean dance, Kimu-gan, who played the role of the king, has been named as a candidate for demotion, causing shock, and attention is focused on the class evaluation battle to see who will be the candidate for demotion between Choi Ho-jong and Kim Jong-cheol.

Episode 4 of ‘Stepha’ will air on the 15th at 10 p.m.
