‘Street World Fighter: Directors’ War’ will determine its final winning director today.
‘Street World Fighter: Directors’ War’ (hereinafter ‘SWF’) will hold its long-awaited finals, broadcast live simultaneously on Mnet and tvN at 10 p.m. on the 20th. Bada, Baek Goo-young, Baby Joo, and Casper, who survived a fierce battle of works, will challenge for the ultimate victory through their final stage. Here are four key points to watch in the finals.
#1. How Will the Actual Stage Compare to the Teaser? Full Reveal of Four Distinct ‘Cheer Performances’
The final mission capping off the finale is the ‘Cheer Performance Mission,’ which completes the passion and energy of sports cheering into a performance. Bada will feature swimming, Baek Goo-young marathon, Baby Joo fencing, and Casper the e-sports title ‘League of Legends (LoL),’ presenting final works that encapsulate their respective directing capabilities. In particular, attention is focused on how the cheer performance teasers, released in advance for online pre-voting, will be realized on the actual live stage. The core points to watch are how the concepts and direction captured in short videos will expand into performances on stage, and how the four finalists will interpret ‘the power of cheering’ from their unique perspectives. Since the teaser release, various reactions such as “The aesthetics are insane,” “I can’t wait to see the stage,” and “Just watching the teaser makes it feel like they’ll win” have continued to build anticipation for the final works.

#2. ‘World-Class Choreographer’ Ian Eastwood Makes a Special Appearance as Final Judge
The participation of a world-class special judge to evaluate the grand finale is also a major point of interest. Ian Eastwood, a renowned choreographer and dancer who has worked with top global artists including Justin Bieber, in addition to choreographing for representative K-POP artists such as Taemin and SHINee, will make a surprise appearance as a special judge. Ian Eastwood, who has led the global dance scene, will join Sim Jae-won and Honey J to evaluate the directing skills and performance completion of the finalists. Attention is focused on how the four choreographers, each with different styles and directing philosophies, will be evaluated from the perspective of a world-class choreographer, and what critiques will emerge in the contest for the final victory.
#3. Beyond Competition to a Grand Festival! From Hong Ten x Yeri to the 10th-Member Full Group ‘Royalty’
The ultra-luxurious special stages available only on the live finals broadcast will explode with festive heat. Starting with an overwhelming opening show by Hong Ten, a living legend of breaking, and national team b-girl Yeri, a surprise full-group live performance by 10 choreographers (Nine, Renan, Bada, Baek Goo-young, Baby Joo, Shimizu, In-gyu, Jung Min-jun, Casper, Hash) will be revealed, completed with the official title track ‘Royalty (Prod. By !llmind).’ Additionally, mega performances by ‘The Stories’ (Jung Min-jun), who won twice on the U.S. show ‘VIBE,’ and the crew ‘Come Here’ (Hash), which advanced to the finals of the U.S. ‘AGT,’ along with a special stage by Super Kids, who amazed the world with Yurichika and Shin, will provide non-stop visual entertainment.
#4. Who Will Be the Star of the Final ‘Director Credit’? Final Winner Determined by Live Broadcast Voting
‘SWF’ has gone a step further than existing Mnet original dance series by highlighting the capabilities of ‘Performance Directors,’ who take responsibility for the entire process of a work, from choreography creation to movement paths, direction, and stage utilization. The competition among choreographers, who have competed with works bearing their own names in every mission, now leaves only the final showdown to determine one ultimate winning director. In the finals, online pre-voting results will be combined with live broadcast text voting and Mnet Plus voting to reflect in the final outcome, promising an unpredictable contest until the very end. Bada, aiming for her second victory following ‘Street Woman Fighter 2,’ Baek Goo-young with 24 years of experience, Baby Joo equipped with a youthful sensibility and solid skills, and Casper, who has shown presence through stylish stage direction—attention is focused on which of the four finalists, each possessing different strengths, will become the star of the final director credit.
