TV Show: Who Run the World? GIRLS đ
Street Woman Fighter | ě¤í¸ëŚŹí¸ ě°ë¨ź íě´í° (2021)Â
Keen for some girl street dance battles? Korea is a country known for its production skills for gorgeous K-Pop stars with their songs, and choreographies. But whoâs behind all that glam? Hundreds of songwriters, choreographers, and dancers. Eight equally talented and majestic all-girl dance crews are starred in Street Woman Fighter (SWF) to show 'em who's best. Every single team is so unique, charismatic, and skilled, that youâll find yourself rooting for all crews as you watch.

The show host is Kang Daniel, a K-Pop singer that is known for his passion and love for dancing. The three judges include the ultimate K-Pop Queen BoA, NCTâs Tae-Yong, and one of SM Entertainmentâs main performance directors, Hwang Sang-Hoon. Honestly, I think it wouldâve been better if they had at least one professional dancer with the judges - as Korea has just so many monster-talented dancers. Yet, Iâm guessing that having judges that are less involved prevented any biased judgements towards certain crews.

The eight crews include Hook, Prowdmon, Coca N Butter, WANT, WayB, Lachica, Holy Bang, and YGX. All crews and all leaders are already famous in the dancer scene, but the public may not be all familiar with them. The same goes for me, as I was introduced to most of these dancers by the show. However, some of them were especially eye-catching and noticed by the viewers. Aiki, from Hook is a famous dancer who starred in World of Dance Season 3 (NBC) as the duo âAll Ready,â and was praised by Jennifer Laurence herself - sheâs also a popular Tiktoker! You guys would know Noze from WayB if youâre a K-Pop fan because sheâs VERY well known as the beautiful backup dancer for EXO Kai. In Kaiâs single âMmmhâ she caught the eye of the audience, and was called the "Idol-worthy dancer" - thereâs even a Noze-focus Mmmh video on Youtube đ And of course, thereâs also our baby cinnamon roll Chaeyeon in WANT, whoâs also is in the girl group IZ*ONE. You have no idea how much this pumpkin pie had made me cry watching this show đĽş

Another wow point for those who know their dancers was the battle between Holy Bangâs Honey J (Jay Parkâs choreographer) and Coca N Butterâs Ri Hey. The âgirls hip-hopâ master Honey J and her once-a-student Ri Hey were in the same crew and was active as a duo for seven years. After splitting apart, this show was where they met again for the first time. The battle between the two got me amazed and both tearing up - Iâm not gonna lie, I needed my tissue box while watching this scene again for this article đÂ
The show starts off with one-on-one battles like the video above, then from the second mission, the crews film dance videos to get judged for higher scores. The biggest trend that started with this show was the Hey Mama challenge on Tiktok cause the moves there was so cool and catchy đ This choreography was picked from the âClass Mission - Leader Classâ where each leader of the crews came together and each made their own choreos that they'll perform together.

From episode 4, crews upload their dance videos on the official Mnet TV channel on Youtube and viewers get to be part of the judges! Until a set deadline, the view counts and the like counts are the viewerâs vote for the best crew. This got the fans all over the world making their families & friends hit like for their favourite crewâs video đ Sad news though, not all Mnet TV videos are made available to watch in New Zealand for some reason. So, Kiwis wonât be as involved in the voting process as we wish to be 𼺠Iâll just have my fingers crossed and hope the others vote for my best crew, aka. all eight of them.
The best thing about these girl dance crews is that although the showâs edits make the crews seem like they hate everyone, they really donât. The full amount of respect they have for one another is real, and most of them were already good friends even before the show. These girls can seem nasty and fierce, but you see them crying for and encouraging each other which gets me in the heart every time. Especially Coca N Butter, they always talk like a badass but they are the biggest softies in the show - fans now call them "Soft Tofu N Butter" instead đ

This show definitely shouts âwomen empowermentâ out loud, showing us how many talented women are out there. As someone who dances like a piece of wooden log, itâs satisfying and amusing to see the well-choreographed moves in sync, and each crew's devotion to dance. The reason I first started watching this show was because of my bae, Aiki (cause who here hasnât watched her âBad Girl seriesâ videos yet?), but now Iâll be so shook if they don't continue making videos of every one of these dancers - special shoutout to my new babes Prowdmon Monika, Lip J, Lachica Peanut, Holy Bang Honey J and Jane â¤ď¸âđĽ The show is only out till the fifth episode, but each is almost 2hours long which can take up some of your time. So start binge-watching during your stay-at-home times! I swear you wonât regret discovering the SWF girls.
