R16 Korean Breakdancing Championships

Filed as: Korea and Culture // Responses: 14

This past weekend were the R16 Korea 2010 World B-Boy Championships, and we were given press passes to go. Huzzah! We were almost right on stage as they were breakdancing! So we were able to get some really good footage of the action, and we put together a video of the Crew Battles. Crews from Germany, Spain, Puerto Rico, France, Phillipines, China, Vietnam, and – of course – Korea, all came to battle it out for the title. In the end, the two remaining crews were France’s Phase T and Korea’s JinJo Crew, and Korea came out on top! France put on one hell of a show, though. Also, we’re not sure if any of you know this, but Simon actually breakdances as well, so he put on a bit of a show for the video. You’ll be amazed! So check out our video on Korean Breakdancing! If you were at the event, let us know! Supposedly Jay Park was there as well, but we didn’t see him.

    This is awesome! It reminds me of Planet B-Boy (2007) where Korea wins!!! And Simon, nice moves at the end of the piece ;)

    Awesome video! Thanks for sharing the experience. I'm a little confused why Canada didn't win with Simon's moves on display like that;-)

    I LOVED the video. That was some REALLY nice footage!

    Can I ask, though, about the last clip of Simon breakdancing…. he had a shirt with the Cuban flag and a Cuban car on it… I'm Cuban so I'm only naturally curious to know if that meant there were Cuban breakdancers that this event.

      Thanks! There was a team from Puerto Rico at this event. They were really good. We spoke with them backstage and they were really nice as well :D
