Beyoncé's Choreographer and K-pop Royalty Judge J.Y. Park New Global Dance Series World of Street Woman Dancer

Street Woman Dance 3

Forget G20! The real international summit this summer is happening under bright stage lights, backed by bass drops and body rolls. Mnet's World of Street Woman Fighter Season 3 (WSWF3) has gone full global, and the judging panel alone could headline any major dance festival.

K-pop mogul J.Y. Park (yes, the founder of JYP Entertainment himself), Aliya Janell (the YouTube heels queen who's choreographed for Beyoncé), and Mike Song (co-founder of the legendary Kinjaz crew) are front and center, presiding over one of the most ambitious televised dance competitions Korea has ever exported.

This isn't just another season of Street Woman Fighter — it's a reimagined version with geopolitical flair. For the first time, the battle isn't just between crews — it's between nations. Think of it as the World Cup of dance battles, with all the drama, talent, and high kicks your soul can handle.

In World of Street Woman FighterSeason 3 (WSWF3), the soundtrack plays a pivotal role in setting the tone for each performance. The show's producers have curated a diverse playlist that spans K-pop, hip-hop, and global pop hits, enhancing the intensity and emotion of the dance battles.

The Format: Nation vs. Nation, Location by Location

WSWF3 premiered on May 27, 2025, and is being broadcast from Seoul, South Korea, where Mnet has set up a high-production battlefield for the dancers — complete with international filming segments. Each of the six competing crews shot their mega crew performances in a different part of the world, giving this season a visual and cultural range we've never seen before.

The crews? They're nothing short of legendary:

  • Motiv (USA): Led by Marlee Hightower and featuring the indomitable Logistx, this team brings American street cred and Olympic-level talent.
  • Bumsup (South Korea): Korea's own "Avengers," including Honey J, Monika, and Aiki — a who's who of street dance royalty.
  • Royal Family (New Zealand): With Teesha Taulepa carrying the Parris Goebel legacy forward, they're as fierce and polished as you'd expect.
  • AG Squad (Australia): Led by Kaea Pearce, another Royal Family alum, this crew adds heat and precision.
  • Osaka Ojo Gang (Japan): Helmed by Ibuki and featuring Hana (yes, TWICE's Momo's sister), they bring quirky intensity and technical genius.
  • RHTokyo (Japan): Commanded by Riehata, who was a guest judge in Season 2 and now steps onto the floor with her own crew.

Where You Can Watch (And Why You Should)

If you're in Korea, you can catch new episodes every Tuesday on Mnet. For global audiences, the show is being simulcast with English subtitles on YouTube via Mnet's channel and the Mnet Plus App, while Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+ stream the episodes via the CJ ENM Selects add-on.

The season runs for nine episodes, wrapping up in a live finale set for July 22 — and trust me, the finale is going to be nothing short of historic.
