“World Street Women Fighter” Team Korea “BUMSUP” Lands 4th in Pre-Vote: “Starting at No.1 Would Be Boring”
Mnet’s World Street Woman Fighter made its powerful premiere on May 27, revealing the pre-vote rankings that left many viewers surprised, especially with Korea’s crew BUMSUP unexpectedly placing 4th.
Formed by the iconic leaders of Street Woman Fighter Season 1, Team Korea entered the global stage with bold energy and sky-high confidence. Honey J proclaimed, “We’re going to devour the world. We’ll show them Korea’s fiery flavor.”
Fellow leader Aiki added, “We’ll make ourselves untouchable,” while Leejung reminded viewers of their legacy, saying, “There’s a reason we made Hey Mama history.” Meanwhile, Hyojin Choi simply declared, “There’s no way we’ll lose.”
Despite their formidable presence, the crew faced a jarring reality check when they came in 4th place during the pre-voting round, conducted across all five participating countries. The result visibly unsettled some members, though they were thankful not to have ranked last. Still, not all reactions were as composed.
Gabee quickly criticized the complacency, snapping, “Why is everyone being so soft? What’s going on?” and Leejung was visibly upset, asking, “How are we 4th?”
Yet, it was Honey J who anchored the team’s spirits with calm leadership. “It’s no fun if you start at the top,” she said. “We’ll just rise from below.”
This season of World of Street Woman Fighter is a true international battle, featuring top-tier dance crews from five countries:
- BUMSUP (Korea)
- AG SQUAD (New Zealand)
- MOTIV (USA)
- OSAKA Ojo Gang (Japan)
- RHTokyo (Japan)
- ROYAL FAMILY (New Zealand)
With each crew bringing its own signature style and legacy, the battle for the title of ultimate world-class dance team promises drama, passion, and unforgettable performances.
While the pre-vote shook expectations, Team Korea’s BUMSUP remains undeterred, ready to prove that the comeback story might just be the most thrilling performance of all.
