The production presentation of Mnet 'World of Street Woman Fighter ('World of Swoopa') was held at SJ Kunsthalé in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul on the 27th. The event was attended by producer Choi Nam-jung, who directed the program, judges Park Jin-young, Mike Song, MC Sung Han-bin, and members of the team 'Byeob' to tell stories about the new season.
The "World of Swoofa" is the third season of "Street Women Fighter", and this time, it will be decorated in the form of a global national competition involving five countries, including Korea, the United States, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. Producer Choi said, `Although previous seasons were a burden because they were loved so much, we are working together with the production team to try new things"We are translating English and Japanese at the same time to reflect cultural differences, and about 100 people are working day and night to accelerate production." he said.
Then "The part that I thought the most about while preparing the world version was how overseas dancers could naturally melt into the Korean broadcasting system" " This program combines not only the strongest choreographer but also strong dancers in the underground battle scene. It's fun to come out of the process of naturally mixing dancers from different genres and environments together."

The difference between the Western and Eastern teams was also interesting. The Western team is overwhelmed in terms of organizational power, power, and speed, and it was like watching German soccer. On the other hand, I think it would be good to say that the Oriental team is commercial. Careful and good ideas. It was impressive that it turned out to be completely different", he commented.
Mike Song also "There are many legendary collaborations that can only be seen in this program. Even among the dancers, there is an evaluation that "'a stage where only the players gather', and "It is special to see the dancers who were fighting each other making the stage together." It's not just a competition, it's a global festival."
This season's MC was Sung Han-bin, the leader of Zero Base One. Sung Han-bin "It's an honor to participate as an MC in a program that I was personally a fan of as well. As it is a global project, I learned and felt a lot of things" and expressed my ambition, saying, "I want to get an all-rounder through various aspects such as dance, reaction, and visuals"
"At first, it was difficult to memorize the script, and I was worried about how I could bring out the dancers' stories on the spot, but after watching the stage, I naturally became immersed in it," he added. He also participated in the OST. "This is a song that contains the energy of this program, and I hope viewers enjoy it with the broadcast."," he said.

Producer Choi recruited teams that had already known each other in world competitions and battle stages. I felt like each team could create a tangled story within the program", he revealed the background of his casting.
In particular, 'Team Korea' was welcomed by the leaders of season 1 to regroup. Honey J had a great sense of responsibility given by the title of the national team. Season 1 was also desperate, but this time, he became two or three times more desperate than that." Especially when she was nervous about being the leader of the leaders, she said, "Is it a seniority?"I think Monica will be away often for child-rearing. The staff recommended me and the members accepted me happily."Our team chemistry is 10 out of 10. Although the styles are different, we are getting to know each other's dances together, and it's so reassuring."
The fact that Honey J and Monica returned to 'Mom' also drew attention. Honeyjay "My daughter is 25 months old now. Being a mother to a baby, I tried not to show it even though it was physically difficult." Monica returned 50 days after giving birth. I'm doing postpartum care by dancing now." "At first, I was disappointed that I couldn't dance right away, but I felt fortunate as the competition got better and better. Now, I'm preparing to get back on stage," he replied.
Other members also expressed their teamwork and determination. Gabi focused on getting stronger among us rather than checking a specific team. Nevertheless, the member Keira of the Age Squad was particularly impressive, and Aiki said, `I feel so reassured that the members who competed in season 1 are now on my side. We have become one team that complements each other."
While working together, Lihei came to know the charms of the members he didn't know. I don't regret the choice that came out this season, and Hyo Jin-choi said, "It's liberating to participate as a team member after getting out of pressure as a leader." Still, I can understand Honey J's burden better now. He smiled.

Finally, PD Choi said "The form is a national competition, but in the end, the story of individual dancers and the formation of fandom are the focus. It will be a foreign currency-like program so that the proportion of Korean is less than 20%, and "I hope you will be with me with a warm gaze on the story of real dance in various cultures." Honeyjay also said "Life is contained beyond dancing", and Monica said "See how we grow and overcome adversity". Lipjay says "Program containing the life of the human military" and Gabi says "People who only eat and dance fight for their country. I am confident that I will pop dopamine."
Mnet 'World of Swoofa' will premiere at 10 p.m. on the 27th.
