The WSWF has announced an unprecedented showdown.
The Mnet program 'World of Street Woman Fighter' (directed by Kwon Young-chan and Choi Jeong-nam, hereafter referred to as 'WSWF'), which is set to premiere on the 27th (Tuesday), is the third season of Mnet's mega-hit 'Street Woman Fighter' and aims to attract viewers through a national competition among five countries, including South Korea, New Zealand, the U.S., Japan, and Australia. A total of six crews will appear, including AG SQUAD, BUMSUP, MOTIV, OSAKA Ojo Gang, RHTokyo, and ROYAL FAMILY.
On the 23rd (Friday), a preview video of the WSWF’s first episode was released, featuring the trademark of Mnet's street dance series and the first mission, the battle of the weak, which has captivated viewers. The video surpassed 1 million views the day after its release and made it to YouTube's 'Trending Videos' list before the broadcast, proving its buzz. On the 25th, it climbed to the third spot on the trending list, showcasing its unyielding popularity. Especially, the appearance of Ibuki, the leader of OSAKA Ojo Gang, has created an unprecedented big match that stimulates viewers' dopamine.
Ibuki, who drew attention just by her appearance, is a waacking dancer who has swept the global battle scene since her teenage years and is considered a 'legend' by all dancers. As a global top-tier waacker, there is a hot interest in the opponent she will name, and the chosen one is LIP J, the waacking queen of team Korea, BUMSUP. LIP J remarked, "The expected has come," showing a tense preparation for the battle.
In this context, their hidden narrative has emerged, stirring the hearts of potential viewers. About ten years ago, LIP J, a rookie in the global battle scene, claimed victory over the legendary battler Ibuki. Monika, who witnessed their battle on-site, recalled, "It really felt like water and fire were meeting."
Given the intense backstory between the two, interest in the rematch battle is growing. Ibuki stated, "I've been waiting for the day of revenge," displaying her determination against LIP J, while the dancers reacted enthusiastically, saying, "I can't believe I'm witnessing this live." The video showcases Ibuki's extraordinary waacking skills as she takes the lead, along with the passionate reactions from the fight judges, foreshadowing an unprecedented showdown. People are eager to see what kind of stage LIP J will present against Ibuki and what outcome the revenge match will produce, ten years in the making.
Meanwhile, the WSWF is gearing up for its premiere by releasing four original soundtracks featuring performances from MC Sung Hanbin of ZEROBASEONE, izna, MeloMance's Kim Min-seok, and ASH ISLAND. The four tracks, themed around fight main, woman, goodbye, and respect are expected to heighten viewer immersion during the broadcast. The 'WSWF Original Vol.1,' featuring a total of four songs, is set to be released tomorrow (27th) at 6 p.m. across various music streaming platforms.
The WSWF will premiere on the 27th, Tuesday at 10 p.m. (KST).
