The production team of Mnet's dance survival show "Street World Fighter: Directors War" (hereinafter "SWF") has issued a statement regarding allegations that the teaser video was manipulated.
On the 23rd, an SWF representative told StarNews, "The teaser video was produced to convey the program's concept and introduce the role of the performance director. However, we have confirmed that certain interview excerpts were conveyed differently from their original context. Consequently, the video has been made private. We will exercise greater caution and conduct more thorough reviews throughout the entire production process."
Previously, on the 21st, news of SWF's launch was announced alongside the release of the performance director teaser video.
The video featured massive stages flashing by, including major award ceremonies, the world-renowned Coachella music festival, the Super Bowl halftime show, the Olympic opening ceremony, and world tour concerts by top artists. It also carried messages such as, "This is the era where performance directors create 'works'," and "Someone who can dance well, choreograph well, and direct stages well."
However, following the release of the teaser video, performance director Kiira Harper posted a message raising manipulation allegations, stating, "I did not appear on this show, nor did I say these things. They asked me, 'Who did you dance for?' and I replied, 'I danced with Dr. Dre and Snoop at the Super Bowl.' This editing is insane."
Meanwhile, SWF is scheduled to premiere in August.
