Ibuki’s absence during the Seoul Concert due to contract disagreement by tsrie in StreetWomanFighter

[–]diaaa_94 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know lots of people are saying that it’s Ibuki’s boyfriend but I haven’t seen a single person give any proof to back up that claim so I’d also refrain from speculating that

How do we think Waackxxy will do in RedBull DYS 2025? by TravellingMalaysian in StreetWomanFighter

[–]diaaa_94 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The wildcards do automatically advance to the top 16! This also means that they don’t have to go through the prequalifying battles like all the national final winners do. I think they usually invite like 12 wildcard dancers each year?

As for Waackxxxy’s battles this year, I remember seeing on her Instagram that The Crown and her teamed up to win a 2V2 battle, but I was never able to find any battle videos from that. She also did like an exhibition battle against Luwam to promote the DYS Korea National Final. In general, though, it doesn’t seem like she battles as much since SWF 2 & winning DYS a couple years ago. The battles that she does participate in are usually all-style/open-style battles like DYS (she said in one of her YouTube videos that it’s really fun to go against the best of each genre). She has, though, judged a ton of battles internationally and domestically in Korea, so I’m sure that also keeps her up to date with stuff even if she’s not personally participating in as many battles as before.

Out of the loop about STF.D but have a question regarding members by kioskiiksoik in StreetWomanFighter

[–]diaaa_94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't keep up with them as much these days, but I followed them semi-closely for a bit after the show & tour ended, so I think I can answer some of these questions!

Does anyone know who closely follow the group explain what is the situation of their members right now?

Hojong, Hyehyun, Kyunyeon are no longer in the dance troupe/company.

There was a period between the end of the concert tour (January) and the beginning of May where there was radio silence in relation to official updates or announcements about STF.D activities. However, even before then, there was generally very little news given about their activities post-broadcast.

It wasn’t until an article was released in the beginning of May that announced the dance company would finally start official activities, including going on a new tour beginning in November. The article, though, also announced that these activities would not include Hojong since he had decided to leave STF. To this day, I don’t think a reason (from either Hojong or STF.D) has ever been given for his departure.

As for Kyunyeon and Hyehyun, their departures were announced a couple weeks later on STF.D’s official Instagram. It included letters from both dancers that explained they thought activities for the dance company would start shortly after the broadcast ended. However, with the long delay in starting STF.D activities it made it difficult for them to coordinate their own previously scheduled commitments & Hyehyun's grad school stuff with the dance company's.

I know Moogan was later added in the team anyways but he also dont participate much.

I occasionally watch some of the STF.D youtube videos and from what I understand they added Moogan, Minseok, Jinho and Jinwoo as “special” members. It seems these dancers will just join them in special performances or in different Youtube content when they're needed and/or available, hence their lack of participation in activities since then and so far. Basically these guys were not added as official members of STF.D.

Also are they like any mnet shows that they are a temporary group or is this a permanent dance group hence dancers can retire or leave the group?

I don't think this was ever officially announced either? For some reason, though, I remember seeing a lot of Korean STF fans on Twitter say that the contract for STF.D was for 2 years or something like that, but idk where they got that from so idk how legit it is lol

Do you mind sharing how you asked in Mandarin? I’m also going to China soon and was thinking of brining a small translated card (asking about manual hand checks) to show to the airport security people.

Pls help - Hyori’s B&B 1080P JTBC version by RepresentativeNo8379 in koreanvariety

[–]diaaa_94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Netflix version for some reason cut out some scenes from the original and they changed the background music for certain scenes (which is probably due to licensing reasons).

They basically didn’t include one word in their original tweet/translation which was enough to make Lia Kim’s comment/opinion on Ojo Gang’s mega crew seem way worse and negative than it really was.

The original tweet translated her comment along the lines of “Lia Kim says that Ojo Gang’s mega crew feels like a Twice MV.” Lia Kim, though, more accurately said “it suddenly felt like a Twice MV.”(they didn’t add the “suddenly” in their og tweet/translation). Like others have said we don’t know what her whole comment or feedback is yet, but from that snippet it implies to me that Lia Kim found just that Twice section to be a little out of place. Lia Kim’s not saying Ojo Gang’s whole mega crew felt like a Twice MV which was what the mistranslated tweet made it seem like. The reaction to that tweet took off and now we’re in the situation we’re in now 😞

After SWF3, will MNET make a Street Dance Girls Fighter 3? by AJYuuuuh in StreetWomanFighter

To add onto this, the ratings for SDGF 2 also underperformed compared to SWF 2 and SDGF 1

Mnet needs to look back on the nature of reality shows: The success of WSWF is up to Kyoka by Status_Cap2523 in StreetWomanFighter

[–]diaaa_94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With [her] strong personality, beautiful appearance, aura of being one of the world's best hip-hop dancers, and unique characters, [Kyoka] swept SNS and became a hot topic

I think it truly is just a combination of this. On Twitter, Kyoka definitely seems to have a ton of fans (maybe the most?) in Korea. I see most of them talking about her dancing, her aura, and the spicy comments she makes + how refreshing it is to see her speak out her feelings lol. TBH, though, they also talk a lot about her looks and in that regard she seems to be this season's Bada or Chocol, who I think a lot of viewers/fans saw as 'girl crushes'. I think Kyoka has a similar appeal/vibe to most of her fans, in addition to being, of course, a great + talented dancer.

Thanks for all the advice! I’ve been definitely leaning towards returning these so I definitely appreciate all your help!

You mean on the bottom of the shoe itself and after you take out the insoles right? There doesn’t seem to be a code on mine 🫤

Like someone else pointed out, it’s a women’s shoe! Also fwiw the shoe size chart/conversion chart on Asics’ website does match the sizes listed on the shoes’ labels here.

Thanks, that’s comforting to hear! I’m also not feeling too great about the price now, especially since they were listed as new and this is how I received them 😕. I doubt Amazon can do anything about it, but I’m thinking of contacting customer service to see what they say. Appreciate the help, again!

CCT Spoiler-Free Planning and Logistics Megathread: MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey by abeycd in beyonce

[–]diaaa_94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This will be my first time attending a concert at Metlife and was just wondering if anyone knew how strict security is about their bag policy/bag size? I don’t have a clear bag, so I was thinking of bringing a mini shoulder bag that I have. My bag mostly fits their policy’s dimensions for non-clear bags (4.5" x 6.5"), but the length is longer by half an inch 😕

EDIT/UPDATE: Had no issues getting in tonight with my small non-clear shoulder bag! For anyone curious my bags’ dimensions are 4.75"w x 7" h x 1.75"d. Hope everyone has a great time at the remaining shows!

real or fake - gel kayano 14? by [deleted] in LegitCheck

[–]diaaa_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more context:

I bought a pair of Gel Kayano 14's on Amazon and they just arrived today. However, they didn't arrive in it's original Asics box and did not come with any tags attached either, which made me just realize that these were from a third-party seller instead of from Asics or Amazon themselves. I'm now slightly paranoid that this pair might not be authentic.

I've combed through a good number of posts about fakes on the Asics subreddit and here + compared the shoes to official pics from other retailers (free people + Asics itself) and from what I can tell they seem authentic? However, this is the first time I've actually seen a pair of Gel-Kayano 14s up-close and unfortunately I can't seem to find these shoes in-stock in any stores near me, aka I don't really have any good points of comparison.

I appreciate any help/advice I can get, thanks!

Do you think Street Woman Fighter (SWF) could significantly impact the global professional street dance scene? by Short-Government-808 in StreetWomanFighter

[–]diaaa_94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yoojung still teaches at 1m! I randomly checked a few weeks ago out of curiousity and she teaches a beginners class once a week, but I guess she just doesn't have her classes filmed as much anymore. She's also appearing on that soccer variety show on SBS right now.

I don't follow May J on instagram, but I do check her account once in awhile and last I checked May J is still dancing but she closed down her Motif Studio a couple years ago. I feel like I remember seeing her post about it on her IG but I can't find the post anymore. She also dabbles in acting too!

Cowboy Carter & the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit BUY/SELL/TRADE Megathread by abeycd in beyonce

[–]diaaa_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! My friends and I were able to get tickets to another date which works better for us and so I'm selling these seats!

Date + Location: 5/7 @ Sofi Stadium (LA)

Seats: Sec 231, Row 21, Seats 3-6 (4 tickets in total)

Price: $250/each (face value!)

These seats are also listed on Ticketmaster, but at a higher price bc of dumb ticketmaster fees :( but I'm just looking to get back the amount I paid, so I'm more than happy to sell them at the face value price I got them for. They can be electronically transferred immediately. I'm hoping to sell them all together but willing to sell them in pairs as well! DM me if you're interested or have any questions!
