• Interview with Baek Goo-young, choreographer and winner of Mnet's "Street World Fighter: Directors War"

Choreographer Baek Goo-young revealed the reason he rushed to his wife after winning "Street World Fighter: Directors War" (abbreviated as "Sudipa").

On the 27th, a round interview with Baek Goo-young, the winner of Mnet's survival program "Street World Fighter: Directors War," was held at the CJ ENM Center in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

"Street World Fighter: Directors War," which ended on the 20th, is a war of works among choreographers who fight with their heads and prove themselves with their bodies. Baek Goo-young claimed the ultimate victory, proving his strength as a veteran choreographer in his 24th year.

Baek Goo-young shared his thoughts on winning, stating, "It still feels somewhat unrealistic, and I feel more overwhelmed than just happy."

He had shed tears while expressing his feelings about the win during the final live broadcast. He said, "I didn't even realize how much I wanted (to win) until this point," adding, "The reason I cried was not because of the hardships flashing through my mind, but because it took a long time to receive this trophy, so I think I felt most grateful to myself for having danced and worked in this field for so long." He further added, "I think the tears came because I am getting older. If I were 10 years younger, I probably wouldn't have cried."

Baek Goo-young was also captured rushing straight to his wife after his victory was confirmed. He revealed, "We moved to Japan last year and are living there, but we had been apart for a long time because of this program." He continued, "I did go home briefly in between, but we worked hard at co-parenting since our children were young," adding, "My wife suffered a lot taking care of the children alone while I was in Korea, so I was truly grateful for that."

He also said, "When I went on the program, my wife told me not to think about winning and just have fun and come back. She said she didn't expect any results because she was worried I would feel burdened," adding, "Since it was an unexpected win, I felt even more grateful to my wife."

He also mentioned his family's reactions. Baek Goo-young recalled, "Even when I advanced to the final, my parents, sister, and brother-in-law did not expect me to win big. They were very worried and said that just making it to the final was enough." He smiled and added, "From the moment I first said I would appear on the show, they worried, asking, 'Can you really compete with the currently popular juniors?' and 'Your knees and back hurt, can you even dance properly?' But after I won, they were truly happy."
