The original survival program is hard. However, the Mnet dance survival program that ended on the 26th <스트릿 우먼 파이터>(Swoopa) The participants said “thank you” to the production team several times even after going through the bloody survival. It is thanks to the fact that the program’s intention of ‘turning dancers from assistant roles to leading roles’ worked well. In the beginning, there were many tired reactions to ‘Is it another survival game?’, but soon many viewers complained of ‘supa over-immersion’ symptoms. The eight crews who participated attracted a fandom, and the national tour concert was sold out in one minute. <스우파>How could the plan’s intentions reach this far?




It is analyzed that the skills and professionalism of the dancers, the friendship that transcends competition, the artistry and message of the dance performance, the growth story of the participants, and the ‘perseverance toward dance’ of PD Choi Jeong-nam, who directed the program, were at work. As the box office elements matched, the survival program ended with a ‘festival of dance’.

■“Athletes who play the sport of dancing”… Birth of several famous scenes

<스우파>The crews who participated were pros among pros. There are many dancers who have already sat on the judges’ seats in various contests. The talented dancers did their best in the battle than anyone else. The viewers felt a deep resonance just by seeing the best dancers panting for breath in the ‘Fight Zone’ and doing their best. Holibang’s leader, Honey J, did the choreography without sleeping in ‘Class Mission’ was also aired. Executive Producer (CP) Kwon Young-chan said at a press conference on the 29th, “I could feel that there is a reason why K-Dance is loved all over the world by watching him stay up all night to create a great picture despite his tight schedule.”

The appearance of neatly surrendering to defeat also induced a great response from the beginning. PD Choi Jeong-nam said, “The dancers came up to the mission with a desire to win, and they showed a lot of submission and ‘respecting’ (opponent) about the result. .

Thanks to this, several famous scenes were born. Honey J and Coca En Butter’s leader Lee Hey reconciled the past, which had split up while promoting together, through a battle. In the battle between Lachika’s Peanut and Proudman’s lip-J with a waking dance, the dancers showed a street culture that paid tribute to them by throwing their shoes. In the battle for the life and death of Lachika and YGX, who competed for the right to the finals, <스우파>the spirit of

Support towards queer and step up to the women’s declaration

dancers <스우파>The artistry and message shown through the performance were also valuable. Since the ‘Mega Crew’ mission, where several people dance together, there has been a contest of artistry. From 25 to a maximum of 43 people stood on stage at once. PD Choi said that this mission was a greedy mission and said, “I tried to capture it well on the screen.”

The messages they expressed with their bodies began to bloom from the ‘Man of Woman’ mission. Lachika set the stage to Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ with singer Jo Kwon, who dances ‘hill dance’, and Dance Crew Coming Out, saying, “High heels are my persona.” It’s a song called ‘I was born this way’, and Lachika said, “This is a performance I made for precious people who are called all kinds of people in the world.” Colorful costumes reminiscent of a rainbow filled the stage, revealing the message of ‘Queer pride’. It was a rare case in which the identity and queerness of minorities were supported from the front in regular broadcasting.

In the same mission, Proudman sang drag artist Kek to the stage. Instead of dancing, Kek recited Jill Scott’s song ‘Womanifesto’. This song contains a narration that criticizes the ‘sexual objectification of women’. Dressed in a gender-deficient outfit, he moved to the lyrics of “I am not a hip, but a strong woman with a brain that can think and a heart that can love.”

Holivang, who won the finals, chose ‘Venom’ by the female rapper Little Sims as the last ‘Color of Crew’ mission song. “They don’t want to admit that I’m the best because of the fact that I have an ovary,” there are lyrics, “I hate women having power, so I don’t recognize those who deserve it.”

PD Choi’s sincerity towards dance succeeded in bringing the dancers from the periphery to the center. Symbolic scenes were staged on the final stage. Singers CL, Sunmi, Chungha, Simon Dominic, and Loco presented final competition songs to Coca En Butter, Hook, Lachika, and Holly Bang, respectively. While the dancers danced, these artists stood by the side of the stage and sang. It was a choice so only the dancers could shine.

Lachika’s leader Gaby said, “I used to think that I was a person to make singers shine on stage, but now my perception of dancers has changed a lot.” Honey J said, “In the past, when it comes to female dancers, there were light nuances such as show parts and spectacle. You seem to get a lot of that feeling.”
