'WSWF' stars had a special meeting with fans.

CJ ENM's representative music channel Mnet, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in cultural projects this year, held a special event called 'Mega Talk: Deep Dive' (MEGA TALK: DEEP DIVE / hereinafter Mega Talk) on the 19th (Thursday) at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall for 'World of Street Woman Fighter' (directed by Kwon Young-chan CP, Choi Jung-nam PD / hereinafter 'WSWF'). The event served as a platform to share behind-the-scenes stories of the much-discussed Mega Crew mission, with around 200 audience members selected through pre-registration, adding to the excitement.

Prior to the Mega Talk event, teams including AG SQUAD, BUMSUP, MOTIV, OSAKA Ojo Gang, and RHTokyo met fans face-to-face at 'Meet & Move' event in an outdoor space called The Garden located in I-Park Mall. Numerous fans gathered around the venue, and the passionate performances of the five crews and the enthusiastic responses of the spectators highlighted the popularity of 'WSWF'.

Hosted by MC Park Seul-ki and Harimu, the 'Mega Talk' event featured discussions on behind-the-scenes insights about the Mega Crew mission videos with the five crews. The highly anticipated release of the Mega Crew mission video has shown its undeniable appeal, rapidly climbing to the top of the trending videos within a day.

At the event, the Mega Crew mission videos of the five teams were screened sequentially, and after each video, there was time for the crews to share various stories related to the mission. This event allowed attendees to vividly experience the overwhelming scale of the Mega Crew mission, providing abundant enjoyment through the behind-the-scenes talks of each crew. Especially, when the video was projected on a large screen, cheers and expressions of amazement erupted among the fans.

Kaea and Kyra from AG SQUAD said, "When we first received the mission, we thought we should showcase Australian indigenous culture. We also wanted to show how versatile the members can be by transforming into various Australian wildlife like crocodiles and snakes." Marlee and Bella from MOTIV shared, "When we heard the mission was to represent the U.S., we felt scared, but we wanted to showcase various elements of hip-hop while also embodying America's diversity and artistic unity." Notably, Marlee was seen tearing up after watching the video, overcome with emotion.

The story of BUMSUP was also shared. Honey J and LIP J noted, "As 'WSWF' veterans, we anticipated the Mega Crew mission, so we have been discussing what theme we would explore for a long time." They added, "Since One Million created such an amazing piece using Korean elements in Season 2 of 'WSWF,' we actually wanted to avoid the same theme." They also showcased the props, such as the 'Gat,' that created the ministerial appearance, explaining, "It's made from mass material, so I first attached black masking tape inside the Gat and then carefully applied white tape one by one, resembling handmade dumplings. I feel proud and grateful that these efforts were noticed."

The stories of the two representative crews from Japan were also intriguing. Ibuki and Ru from OSAKA Ojo Gang stated, "While we had a strong image of a battler as 'Gang,' this time we wanted to focus on an elegant appearance as 'Ojo' (lady)." They added that regarding the much-discussed glowing light stick, they delivered each crew's colors and messages of victory. Riehata and Mona from RHTokyo expressed, "We wanted to show a Mega Crew mission different from the existing 'WSWF,'" and added jokingly, "For the view count, we hope you watch the video even when you go to the bathroom before bed."

Mnet's 'WSWF,' which staged an unprecedented dance battle in a national competition, broadcasts every Tuesday at 10 p.m. (KST).
