It's more like reality tv than a dance competition
The show had diverse street dance styles including hip hop, locking, popping, krumping, and breaking through intense crew-versus-crew challenges. The participating crews — 1MILLION, Bank Two Brothers, EO-DDAE, Just Jerk, Mbitious, Prime Kingz, We Dem Boyz, and YGX — each bring a distinct identity and dance philosophy, which is part of what makes the show so compelling to watch. You're not just watching individual talent; you're watching entire crews with their own history, culture, and chemistry go head-to-head.
The show wasn't without controversy. It faced criticism for perceived biases in judging and editing practices that favored drama over fair competition, with judge BoA accused of favoritism after demanding a rematch in a battle, leading to backlash over the decision. There was also backlash after the chief producer made comments comparing the male crews' dynamics unfavorably to the female cast of Street Woman Fighter, implying jealousy among the female dancers versus loyalty among the men — which doesn't make any sense as this show had more rude comments and cat fights than street woman fighter lol! Eventually Mnet had to issue an official apology.
