Asking the losing crews to be backup dancers for the winning crews, “Street Man Fighter” under fired for disrespecting the dancers

Mnet was criticized again for their evil edit and bad script

In episode 4, which aired on the evening of September 13, the Street Man Fighter teams will participate in the Global K-DANCE Mission challenge. The two crews will compete against one another by choreographing new dance moves for the same well-known K-Pop song. The crew must copy an opponent’s choreography and adapt it into their own performance. Similar to Street Woman Fighter, these are also the first videos posted by Mnet on YouTube. The mission was made more challenging by additional guidelines added by Mnet’s writers: the losing teams will serve as the backup dancer for the victorious teams.

In the latest teaser, 1MILLION was revealed as the losing team, becoming the backup dancer for the winning team, We Dem Boyz. The 1MILLION members wore black, which matched the background color of the stage. They also wear hats, and masks that cover their faces. In the behind-the-scenes teaser, Mnet’s editor continued to focus on the story of the “dog pack” choreography created by We Dem Boyz for backup dancers.

Mnet’s script angered Knetizens. They believe that instead of cheering or supporting dancers to show their talents and uniqueness, Mnet hurt male dancers and insulted their self-esteem. The dancers are not only backup dancers for artists, but now also have to act as backup for their colleagues. 1MILLION’s Baek Goo Young tearfully shared, “I’m not here to be a backup dancer. I’ve been doing it for 20 years…for 20 years. Making other people stand out… I hate this. I really hate it. I really do.”

Outrageous comments from Knetizens:

• Mnet wants to humiliate a team by forcing them to be backup dancers for another team, for what reason? The idea for this mission is really bad
• No matter what anyone says, Baek Goo Young and Choi Young Jun are the best choreographers in the country. Even if 1MILLION loses, we will always support you
• Hope all the dancers don’t get hurt. The audience all saw how well they did
• Because they were tired of being a backup dancer for 20 years so they came to this show. Then the production team gave a bad mission to force people to do backup dancers again. Baek Goo Young don’t cry!
