The six crews of Mnet‘s ‘World of Street Woman Fighters’ have been revealed.
The six crews of the third season of ‘Street Woman Fighters’ and the national competition ‘World of Street Woman Fighters’ (abbreviated as World of Swoof, WSWF) were unveiled on the 25th through the official YouTube channel The CHOOM.
The revealed lineup is truly ‘world class’. AG SQUAD, BUMSUP, MOTIV, OSAKA Ojo Gang, RHTokyo, and ROYAL FAMILY have been named to the ‘World of Swoof’ lineup.
The first team to announce their appearance is ‘Korea’s representative’ Bumsup. The leaders of Season 1 of ‘Street Woman Fighter’ that heated up 2021 have come together. With the addition of Lip J, the Avengers team has been completed. With Honey J, the Season 1 winner, as the leader, they are expected to show off performances that are second to none.
Age Squad has also thrown their hat into the ring. Age Squad is a crew formed around Kaea, Kyra, and Lucy Baby, the first-generation core members who led the heyday of the world-famous dance crew ‘Royal Family’. They are an all-rounder crew with dancers from various genres such as hip-hop, dancehall, afro, and heel choreo, and they will be representing Australia in ‘World of Swoopa’.
MOTIV, the US representative, is also a formidable opponent. Motif is a hip-hop crew led by authentic old-school hip-hop dancer Marley. Founded by leader Marley when he was only a teenager, the team has a dramatic growth story from a small start to a headliner crew for the world-famous dance competition ‘World of Dance’. In particular, with the member Logistics, an American breakdancing national representative, diverse dancing and stamina are expected.
Two crews will compete from Japan. The Osaka Crew, rooted in hip-hop and battle culture and centered around the street scene, and the Tokyo Crew, which boasts elaborate choreography and performance as its strengths, are expected to represent one country at a time while also showing different colors.
First, the Osaka Ojo Gang is a team centered around Ibuki, the ‘Wacking Queen’, who has swept the world‘s leading dance battles. Kyoka, who has been showing her presence in the global hip-hop scene beyond Japan, will also be joining as a member. With the two champions, Ibuki and Kyoka, as the core, Osaka Ojo Gang is expected to show off their overwhelming battle skills in ‘World of Swoopa’.
RHTokyo is a crew led by Riehata, who is not only a symbolic dancer in Tokyo but also an active choreographer in the K-pop scene. They will be participating as representatives of Japan alongside Osaka Ojo Gang. Riehata has recently worked on the choreography for G-Dragon’s ‘TOO BAD’, but he has also collaborated on the choreography of top K-pop artists such as BTS, BoA, Zico, Twice, CL, and EXO, drawing attention to the potential they will show as a team.
The joining of ROYAL FAMILY is also a point that adds to the anticipation. The Royal Family is a named crew that has long established a world-class presence, working with global artists such as Rihanna, Sierra, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber. The Royal Family, which enjoyed its heyday under the leadership of Paris Goble, has undergone a generational change and is currently led by Tisha, and is expected to prove its global fame as the New Zealand representative for the ‘World of SUPAA’.
The production team said, “Overseas dancers who we had only seen as references so far have become the main characters of our program. This is a lineup we could only have imagined”, and they added, “Please watch the activities of the six crews that will shine in this ‘World of SUPAA’, which will be held as a national competition”.
With the long-awaited six crews of ‘World of SUPAA’ unveiled, the global public evaluation of the ‘World of K-POP Mission’ is underway from the 25th. The World of K-POP Mission, where the first eliminated crew is chosen, is a mission where performances of representative K-POP songs from Korea are held. The mission video of ‘Team Korea’ Beomjeop surpassed 1 million views in just 14 hours after its release, and ranked first in the ‘In-Geup-Dong’ Popular Videos. Royal Family and RH Tokyo followed suit, taking second and third place in the In-Geup-Dong, proving the extraordinary interest.
The global public evaluation of ‘World of K-POP Mission’ will end at 6 p.m. on the 29th. The number of views and likes of the evaluation videos posted on the YouTube channel The CHOOM will be reflected in the final results.
‘World of Street Woman Fighter’ will be first broadcast on May 27th.
