'Sdeepa' Back Kooyoung and Kasper's showdown draws tears from Shim Jae-won, who appeared as a special judge.
On the 25th episode of Mnet's Street Woman Fighter: Director's War (hereafter 'Sdeepa'), episode 2 will feature the second round 'Last Run' to decide the final winner of the first mission, '1:1 signature 400'.
Previously, the 10 choreographers who argued over choreography credits lead 400 dancers to compete for the sole 'director credit'.
The most eye-catching matchup is the long-standing rivalry between Back Kooyoung and Kasper, who have worked together since their SM days. In particular, this contest becomes more engaging as Shim Jae-won, who holds special meaning for both Back Kooyoung and Kasper, appears as a special judge.
Back Kooyoung and Kasper, who worked together for a long time at SM, described Shim Jae-won as "an older brother and teacher who greatly helped them grow," revealing their special bond. The three who spent so much time together now face each other as contestant and judge.
In a released preview video, Shim Jae-won, who must evaluate the two people's works, is even seen shedding tears. Recalling his connection with them, saying "I have known them since they were little kids with runny noses," Shim Jae-won said, "It was mentally very difficult to evaluate the two of them."
Shim Jae-won added, "I know very well how these friends grew and what processes they went through, so it made me think a lot," and said, "But because it is a competition, I tried to judge as coldly as possible." In the subsequent results, everyone is captured reacting in surprise, leaving the question of who between Back Kooyoung and Kasper will be the director credit recipient.
Meanwhile, Mnet's Street Woman Fighter: Director's War airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m.
