Dancer Bada shared her thoughts on participating in 'Street World Fighter: Directors War' (hereinafter 'SDF').

On the 18th, a press conference for Mnet's survival program 'SDF' was held at Ellyena Hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Attendees included PD Choi Jeong-nam, choreographers Nine, Lennan, Bada, Baek Gu-young, Baby Joo, Shimizu, In-gyu, Jung Min-jun, Casper, and Hash.

'SDF' is a new expansion of Mnet's dance series that sparked a 'dance phenomenon' in Korea starting with 'Street Woman Fighter.' While the previous series focused on competition among world-class dancers, this time 'performance directors' who plan and complete stages take center stage.

Baek Gu-young stated, "Since it is a competition under one's own name rather than a crew name, there is significant responsibility for overall quality. We are making efforts to create works with even more dedication."

Shimizu shared, "I have Team Latchika and artists I am currently managing, which has increased my sense of responsibility. I tried to be as careful as possible in every mission."

Bada, leader of the winning crew from 'Street Woman Fighter 2,' explained, "There was considerable pressure due to the name recognition of being a winning crew. We worked hard to turn that pressure into responsibility."

Nine revealed, "In my previous series appearances, I felt burdened by showing how much I had grown since I was young. Now, with my own name on the line, the sense of responsibility was even greater."

In-gyu added, "While in previous seasons we wondered what dance to show, this time we questioned why a particular scene should be included. There was also a sense of responsibility toward the team."

Meanwhile, 'SDF' will premiere on the 18th at 10 p.m.
