In a twist of irony, AG Squad, who previously dismissed Aiki as just a “TikTok dancer,” has turned to the very platform they mocked this time, pleading in Korean for public votes.
The July 1st episode of Mnet’s World Street Woman Fighter (WSWF) showed tensions rise as five international dance crews prepared for the elimination round. Among them was AG Squad, whose leader, Kaea, confidently stated, “We’re definitely not going home.”
However, her confidence wavered when she noticed their mega crew video was ranked second to last in views. “It’s ridiculous. Our video is clearly the best. This makes no sense,” she fumed.
To boost their chances, Kaea revealed they had launched a TikTok account. “We thought we needed to go viral, so we started TikTok and asked people to vote, in Korean.”
AG Squad’s TikTok now features heartfelt posts urging Korean audiences for support. “I don’t know what to expect, but I’m nervous. I really hope the likes will boost our score,” Kaea added.
This move sparked reactions, especially given AG Squad’s earlier jab at BUMSUP’s Aiki, whom they scoffed at, saying, “Does she really have 1 million TikTok followers? She must’ve bought them.”
The tension between the crews boiled over in a one-on-one dance battle during the country-vs-country “underdog pick” round, where AG Squad’s Aliyah edged out Aiki.
From dismissive mockery to strategic desperation, AG Squad’s Korean-language TikTok pivot highlights just how fierce, and unpredictable, the global dance battle has become.
