BUMSUP Triumphs Over RH TOKYO in “World Street Woman Fighter” K-pop Mission: “They Tore Up the Stage”
On the June 17 episode of Mnet’s World Street Woman Fighter, crew BUMSUP delivered a stirring comeback to defeat RH TOKYO in the much-anticipated “World of K-pop” mission.
Competing to performances inspired by aespa, Jennie, and G-Dragon, both crews brought high-level choreography and bold concepts. RH TOKYO initially seemed to have the upper hand, with fellow crews doubting BUMSUP‘s cohesion. However, crew leader Gabee confidently shut down the skepticism, declaring, “Once it’s organized, you’re all dead.”
Special judge Mike Song praised RH TOKYO‘s routine as “insane,” and Baek Goo-young echoed the sentiment: “They’re choreography geniuses—nothing felt cliché.”
Despite early filming issues—including two takes ruined by Lee Jung’s hair accessory mishap, BUMSUP found strength in adversity. Noze admitted, “We were so tired. When the props failed, we felt like we might explode.”
Team spirit came from Honey J, who encouraged her crew to embrace their differences: “Sometimes it’s harder to create cohesion than starting from zero.”
That motivation paid off. BUMSUP‘s final performance earned high praise: “They tore up the stage,” said the judges, noting their balance, complex formations, and artistic detail.
Starting the round with a 150-point penalty from a previous mission, BUMSUP faced an uphill battle. RH TOKYO scored 285 points from judges and 800 in global public votes, totaling 1,185. BUMSUP narrowly trailed with 282 points from judges—but surged ahead with a massive 1,000 global votes, sealing victory with 1,232 points.
The win was emotional. “I’m so happy,” said Honey J, with Lip J adding, “What a relief.” Aiki celebrated: “This is our first win!”
Meanwhile, RIEHATA of RH TOKYO accepted the outcome gracefully, promising to come back stronger.
As the competition heats up, BUMSUP‘s win signals that unpredictability, unity, and raw talent remain the heartbeat of World Street Woman Fighter.
