On the evening of June 17, 2025, at 10 PM, Mnet's hit dance competition series World of Street Woman Fighter (WSWF) is set to deliver a landmark moment in its thrilling third season: the first-ever crew elimination. This intense development unfolds in Episode 4, headlined by the fiercely competitive 'World of K-Pop' mission, where six elite dance crews face off in battles choreographed to iconic songs by K-pop superstars aespa, Jennie, and G-Dragon.
The stakes have never been higher. For the first time in the show's history, one crew will leave the competition, making this mission a brutal survival contest where pride, skill, and strategy collide. Fans and participants alike are bracing for what promises to be a pulse-pounding night of artistry and rivalry.
The mission’s structure pairs the crews into three matchups, each performing to a different artist’s track. AG SQUAD and ROYAL FAMILY square off to the electrifying sounds of aespa, while BUMSUP and RHTokyo battle over Jennie’s powerful beats. The final pairing features MOTIV and OSAKA Ojo Gang going head-to-head with choreography inspired by G-Dragon’s music.
One of the mission’s most compelling twists is the inclusion of a 'dance copy challenge' segment, where crews must craft choreography so complex and unique that their opponents struggle to replicate it. This strategic element elevates the competition beyond raw talent, demanding creativity and tactical thinking to outmaneuver rivals.
Particularly gripping is the showdown between MOTIV and OSAKA Ojo Gang. The latter, led by Ibuki, is renowned for precise and sophisticated waacking techniques. Opposing them is MOTIV, spearheaded by Logistix, a U.S. national breaking representative known for his high-difficulty moves. The tension between these crews is palpable, with the pre-released footage revealing fierce exchanges during the copy challenge that set the stage for a dramatic clash.
MOTIV’s leader Mari has acknowledged the challenge ahead, describing Logistix’s choreography as "historically difficult," signaling the high technical bar this mission demands. Meanwhile, the pre-airing teasers have hinted at the gravity of the competition, showing OSAKA Ojo Gang preparing for what appears to be an elimination battle, thus heightening anticipation about which crew might face the axe.
The aespa-themed battle between AG SQUAD and ROYAL FAMILY also draws significant attention, promising a showcase of synchronized power and style. Meanwhile, the Jennie-inspired contest between BUMSUP and RHTokyo has revealed emotional undercurrents. BUMSUP initially exuded confidence, with a member boldly stating, "How many K-Pop dancers are here?" Yet, the mood shifted as members, including Ga-bi, were captured shedding tears, suggesting internal struggles and the high-pressure environment these dancers endure.
Following the mission performances, the show will escalate to the elimination battle, where one crew will be sent home. This critical judgment will be overseen by a panel of distinguished judges, including the show’s fight judge Mike Song, and special guest judges Bebysleek, Baek Gu-young, Ashley Everett, and Kazukiho—each bringing a wealth of dance expertise to the table.
Since its debut, World of Street Woman Fighter has captivated audiences with its unexpected twists and fierce competition. The show’s popularity is reflected in its recent ratings, having secured the number one spot in TV-OTT non-drama topicality for the second week of June and maintaining the top position for three consecutive weeks overall in the non-drama category.
As the series delves deeper into this high-stakes season, fans are glued to their screens, eager to witness who will survive this fierce 'World of K-Pop' mission and who will become the first crew to exit the fiercely competitive arena. With every move scrutinized and every beat contested, the drama and artistry of World of Street Woman Fighter continue to redefine dance competitions on television.
World of Street Woman Fighter airs every Tuesday at 10 PM on Mnet, promising more electrifying battles and unforgettable moments as the season progresses.
