Taeyong: The song was so good. No but it was so my style~
There are only those few minutes that embarrass the viewers of 'Street Woman Fighter', a fierce battle between female dancers. It was the judge's evaluation time.
Mnet's entertainment program 'Street Woman Fighter', which was first aired on the 24th of last month, is a reality survival show to find the best street dance crew in Korea. The fierce battle stage that female dancers put their pride on is attracting attention, and viewer ratings more than doubled in the first two episodes, making it a hot topic. The battle is full of tension, to the point where the saying "A real fight without fists" appeared. [...]
Competition is fierce because there are wins and losses. This win or loss is decided by three fight judges who are introduced to "react more passionately than anyone else and judge fairly." The fight judges are made up of performance director Hwang Snghoon, singer BoA, and NCT's Taeyong. To the appearance of the three people, Rihey responded, "Since they are such great artists, we felt that we deserved their assessment'.
However, viewers have been arguing over the judges. Many are questioning whether the evaluation is made objectively because it focuses on subjective impressions such as feeling and atmosphere rather than professional evaluation of movement and composition. Even though the screentime for evaluation is trivial, the number of evaluation based on “I felt their overwhelming presence” and “the song goes well with the dance” did not satisfy the viewers.
There are also public opinions doubting the qualifications of the judges. In particular, the negative reaction to NCT Taeyong, who has a shorter career than Hwang Sanghoon and BoA, stands out. Although Taeyong is NCT's main dancer and recognized in the global market, people argue that he lacks qualifications to evaluate participants with a long and solid career as professional dancers.
Among the actual participants, Monika is a professor of contemporary street dance, and Yell won the first bronze medal in bboying for Korea at the 2018 Buenos Aires Youth Olympic Games as a national representative. In addition, most of the participants are renown in the dance scene. As the history of these participants is also revealed on air, there was even a reaction from someone saying "it seems that the people who should sit on the judges' seats came out as participants."
With the elimination occurring, the battle of 'Street Woman Fighter' is expected to become more intense in the future. Accordingly, netizens have no choice but to watch the judges more sensitively. It remains to be seen whether 'Street Woman Fighter' can quell such criticism and build trust in the outcome of the match and judgement.
original post: here
1. I've never seen them as judges. Anyways their screentime are so negligible that I just don't care about them. However, I don't understand the evaluations they give
2. I wouldn't care if they had 6~7 judges, but they shoved a young idol in a team of 3 judges and I can't understand what their intentions are? This isn't about emotional evaluation. They're deciding who the winners and losers are and he'll have influence on deciding who the center is too
3. No but they're giving the judges way too much power in influencing with the little number they are. If they were 6~7 people, there wouldn't have been this much criticism
4. I agree, the stages are seriously so good, but the judging is a shame
5. I can only understand why BoA is there. No matter how the comments here are saying that Taeyong is doing a good job or not, these comments are obviously written by fans. As a commoner, I don't even know who he is. If they were going to put Chaeyeon who is the top dancer among female idols, they should've brought the top male dancer among male idols to judge no?...
6. But the fact that Rihey said she will acknowledge the judges evaluating her, she was only talking about BoAㅋㅋㅋ Me too I acknowledge BoA being there, Hwang Sanghoon is also an experienced dancer, so I don't really mind him, but Taeyong is honestly the same as those people sitting on the streets watching others perform no? It would've been better if he wasn't a fixed cast and they were to change people every episode as a guest
7. I really hope the finale doesn't involve the judges
8. Compared to the dancers, all of the judges are a bit lacking, even the MC... But honestly people who are participants on the show are only there to promote themselves so who caresㅋㅋ
9. Seriously I don't understand what Taeyong's judging is based on?
10. Nobody is judging on the technique or the artistry, they're just talking about the aura and the strength, etc. To be honest, those judges are so frustrating to watch... They're gathering all those professional dancers here and they're getting all those random evaluations. Also, Taeyong isn't even the top when it comes to idol dancers
11. To be honest, whether they were 3 judges or not or whether they used idols or not, as long as they were giving good evaluations, this would've not been a controversyㅇㅇ If they were going to use only 3 people, they need to share the roles, at least one of them should be giving us more constructive criticism and tell us what was happening in the dance. As viewers, the judges need to be able to guide us, if they were able to achieve that, there would've been no criticism.
12. The judges didn't judge once. They just talk as if they were viewers like us sitting in the corner of their rooms watching TV. They talk like commoners, yet I can't even relate to a single thing they're saying
13. It's indeed a shame and this week, we're going to have the first eliminated crew, which will make this issue even worse
14. I'm f*cking tired of this, can we just enjoy this as a variety show?
15. I wouldn't say I felt embarrassed watching them judge, but I sure didn't relate to a single evaluation they gave
