WSWF has once again captivated global dancers who have fallen deeply in love with K-culture. In the 5th episode of Mnet's 'World of Street Woman Fighter' (produced by Kwon Young-chan CP and Choi Jeong-nam PD, hereafter referred to as 'WSWF'), which aired on the 24th, a special time unfolded for the five global crews after finishing their fierce missions. Beyond unique K-culture experiences, viewers were attracted by the colorful aspects of the global crews enjoying Korea.

The broadcast achieved a target viewership rating of 15.39% and ranked first in the 2049 viewership ratings among men and women for five consecutive weeks in the same time slot (AGB Nielsen, based on paid households in the metropolitan area). Especially, it ranked first in the same time slot among female viewers in their teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s, while the 40s female viewership reached an impressive 3.1%, reaffirming strong support from female audiences. Additionally, on TVING, the real-time viewing share among all live channels soared to 90.1%, proving the explosive interest from viewers.

AG SQUAD visited Namsan Tower, a representative landmark of Seoul. They enjoyed a meaningful time filling love locks, a must-do at Namsan, starting from a cable car experience that provided a panoramic view of Seoul. The highlight was also the members' Korean food mukbang, including 'Yukhoe lover' Aaliyah, and their sincere stories that could not be heard anywhere else. AG SQUAD noted, "Working with dancers from around the world in WSWF has been a real inspiration," and mentioned wanting to work with K-POP artists Lisa, CL, and aespa.

The appearance of RHTokyo visiting a Korean-style jjimjilbang added interest. The members, sporting cute sheep hairstyles, engaged in activities like a coin karaoke experience, sauna, and Korean-style ssam mukbang while showing off their K-play by singing Rosé's "APT." The surprise birthday party that moved Nina and Riko, along with the special feelings the members had for each other, conveyed deep emotion. In particular, Riehata revealed the reason for participating in WSWF was solely for her crew members, demonstrating her true leadership.

BUMSUP specially visited a fortune teller to predict the fate of 'Team Korea.' The four-year veteran shaman began by saying, "First, the leader is good. The leader is determined," and referred to Honey J as the 'icon of sacrifice,' urging the members to trust the leader. As the discussion shifted to the possibility of victory, BUMSUP members rallied, stating, "Let’s work hard starting from the bottom," solidifying their determination.

MOTIV visited Tongin Market, known for its unique experience with traditional coins. The MOTIV members expressed joy while showcasing the essence of K-mukbang in the food paradise of Tongin Market. They had time to make kimbap according to individual preferences, while a spicy dance battle over tteokbokki toppings sparked laughter. This was also an opportunity to glimpse the members' new charms that could not be seen in the fierce mission scenes.

OSAKA Ojo Gang captivated attention by heading to Dongmyo Market, a fashion mecca favored by G-Dragon, to engage in a unique battle. Divided into Ojo and Gang teams, they held a fashion battle to style their leader, Ibuki. The two teams, both knowledgeable in fashion, showcased extreme styling in the G-Dragon street of Dongmyo, and Ibuki declared the Gang team, which added a pinch of cuteness to a hip-hop gangster vibe, the winner. The eating scene of Kyoka, who was deeply engrossed in japchae, along with other members, was equally captivating.

At the full party where all five crews gathered, WSWF's signature mission, the mega crew mission, was revealed. Especially when global star Jennie appeared in a video introducing the mission, the venue was filled with enthusiastic cheers. The unique point of this mission was to capture the distinctive identities of each country along with the high-angle challenge segment. AG SQUAD expressed confidence, saying, "We will be the biggest threat," while BUMSUP showed their determination by stating, "This is the mission we have been waiting for, and we have no fear."

Immediately after the broadcast, the unedited version of the elimination battle between OSAKA Ojo Gang and ROYAL FAMILY, which had been highly requested by fans, was unveiled. As the ace battle between Kyoka and Moana unfolded, the unedited 5-round elimination battle elicited reactions from internet users such as, "Ibuki and Kyoka killed it," and "Watching the uncut version feels different."

Meanwhile, WSWF has shown fierce popularity, ranking first for four consecutive weeks in the topicality rankings of the TV-OTT non-drama sector announced by Good Day Corporation's FUNdex, and once again ranked first in the TV-OTT integrated topicality rankings for the third week of June. Next week's broadcast will feature the highly anticipated mega crew mission, which has surpassed 33 million views as of the 25th.
