that is one of the reason why she agreed to be part of SWF contestant. if you watch or read the their showcase she said the PD told her the reason about that show which is to bring the dance crews to get more recognition widely, to give more spotlight to them who work mostly bhind the scenes. i believe that is also a reason why they casted these judges bcs the contestants themselves are already professional artists with less exposure. i am so happy now that many peoples recognizing them and they got invited to many shows since the SWF ended with success.

@@zzzonline I don't know the exact wording, I am just basing it from what Monika herself said, through the english translation "she was shouting and cursing at me". These are TV shows (SWF) and people (entertainers) can either play a character or be themselves for the sake of entertainment, but if people (audience) can't discern, make the distinction, to the point of having to harass or insult them...

After knowing Aiki's struggle behind the scenes, made me respect her even more. She once said she feels lonely because she was considered as an outsider in the dance community, also she received side-eyes for being a mom. Part of the dance community dislike her for becoming famous without having to go through the old traditional way. She said she entered many competitions in Korea but her team dance genre (Hip hop x Latin) wasn't well known. It was hard to get recognised. Her dance video exploded in overseas and got over 12M views which WOD then invited them to participate. She wanted to get recognition outside Korea first. Now hearing how she also had a hard time with her in-laws kinda makes me sad. She so bright and cheerful. Fighting Aiki, you have so many people supporting you now. All the best 💪🏻

I love Aiki's confession HAHAHA she's being real.

Monika aged beautifully with substance. She is so mature and strong. I don't like her at SWF at the 1st episode because she seems rude, by as the show goes by I learned to like her. The crowd is always alive because of her.

these interviews with the dancers really sheds a different light and perspective compared to how they were on the show. their struggles and passion is what they became to be in the present really makes you want to support them all the way. also, monika-saem is so cool with that speech and quote. wow. definitely the dancer of all dancers and best leader of prowdmon T_T

It makes so much sense now because Leejung always gives off the smart and confident vibes🤔 you’ll never catch her saying stupid shit about the other crews and always has the best comeback when other crews talk shit about YGX wow🤯

This is the most funny interview with SWF leaders hahhaa

I am so proud to say that I never doubted Monika’s passion and have been supporting her while there are some who don’t like her. It’s just her passion and dedication in dancing is too strong that non dancers won’t understand 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am so proud you you, Monika 😭❤️

you can really feel that these women is so passionate about dancing and it's soOOOOOOO inspiring to really pursue what you love

Monika is such an inspiration. Imagine she stopped working on her previous work in a fashion company just to focus on dancing and teach aspirants to become a good dancer. ❤❤❤

Monika's speech was amazing, she sure had it real tough back then. When you do your best you will never regret any minute of it. It only makes you stronger because you went through tough times. To all dancers that love dancing, fighting

16:09 Legend Monika you will be remember forever whoa her words give me goosebumps and I feel more respect to her

I watched this and I can't help but be so envious. They worked so hard, even went against their parent's wishes because they were that passionate about dancing. I'm sitting here feeling so stuck because I dont have anything that I'm that passionate about, and I honestly feel like I'm just existing. They deserve all the success they got from the show because they worked so hard for it, and I hope I could find my passion soon as well.

I really enjoyed this interview and i am so glad dancers are starting to get recognition for their expression and hard work. it's really not easy being a dancer in this day and age but i'm glad it's getting better. it's really wholesome that monika's mother really scolded her for being 'rude', and it's true that many people felt really offended by the things she said, but i always thought that she was more real than anyone, because she was willing to tell you the ugly things to your face. she seems like a strict leader but you've also seen when she's yelling and encouraging others so i hope people understand that sometimes the strictest people have the softest hearts. it's unfortunate the other leaders weren't here but can't wait for more swf content and will continue to support my girls!

She has a very straightforward personality unlike others. She’s the type of person who prefers to say things upfront which is somehow uncommon because we’re used to people who oftentimes sugarcoat or filter their words.

Bless them all man and Monika is 100% right, if you have something you wanna do and super passionate about- never give it up if it's about money, money will come find you when you've honed in the skills just as all these ladies have done. Her last comment made me cry so much, I'm not a dancer and never will be but I love the attitude and mindset they all have

that's whyy i love you all. especially MONIKA for make me cry and open road to all dancer in the world who always struggle with them dreams and passion

MONIKA EONNIE IS LIKE UMMM AKKI UMMM DO NOT TALK ABOUT THIS IT IS DANGER WATERS LMFAO

Monika, honey j and rihey actually all of the coca n butter mostly purplow (the previos group of honey j n coca n butter) was really an idol before. They started girls hiphop in korea which was back then was really hard since its not part of their culture. It is not seen as profession but because of their dedication (all of the dancers back then) the street dance are being alive for years until now. They always had street battles, performances etc. And im really glad they are now called dancers not back up dancers. Its really hurtful sometimes when you saw some comments that this singer, this idol etc dance better than the backup dancers. Little did they know, that these backup dancers are all choreographers and knowledgeable in dancing.

Monika unnie is really cool.

monika really u are the coolest

Wow that message from Monika at the end 💯

This girls really deserve the recognition they getting. 1st i am amaze on cocanbutter passion to dancing even though some dancer have career or jobs even jillin 2 jobs and a nurse still they never stop dancing and they do their own costume and after hearing these girl stories and harwork they sacrifices.
