WSWF’s BUMSUP Sets the Stage Ablaze with National Pride

“We’ll prove it through dance.”
South Korea’s all-star street dance team BUMSUP made their global debut on Mnet’s highly anticipated dance survival show WSWF (World Street Woman Fighter), which premiered on May 27. From the very first episode, Team Korea captured the spotlight with confidence, intensity, and an unshakable sense of pride. The global stage is now set for a fierce showdown of rhythm, rivalry, and respect.

💃 BUMSUP – South Korea’s Street Dance Dream Team

Fans of Mnet’s original Street Woman Fighter will instantly recognize the powerhouse names behind BUMSUP. Assembling an elite lineup of former leaders and legends, Team Korea features:
Honey J, Monika, AIKI, Gabee, Leejung, NO:ZE, LIP J, Ri.hey, and Hyojin Choi.

Each dancer brings her own genre, technique, and charisma. But now, they unite under one flag — not just as individual icons, but as national representatives of K-dance.

“We’re not afraid of Team USA. We’ll speak with our moves.”
Their fearless presence at the opening set the tone — this is more than a dance competition. It’s a battle of national pride.

😠 “They Disrespected Us” — Tensions Rise After Team USA’s Provocation

The mood quickly shifted when a feedback video from Team USA (MOTIV) was shown. Their blunt commentary sparked outrage:

• “Honey J doesn’t have the hip-hop vibe.”
• “AIKI’s just a TikTok influencer.”
• “She bought her followers.”

The Korean team fell silent — then furious.

Gabee fired back, “If you disrespect our leader, you disrespect all of us.”
NO:ZE’s expression said it all: rage, restraint, and resolve. “We’ll show them on the stage.”

The team held their heads high. No angry retorts. Just cold fire in their eyes — and a promise to answer through dance.
