Aired on June 3, the 3rd episode of Mnet’s World Street Woman Fighter (WSWF) continued the high-stakes International No Respect Battle — and all eyes were on BUMSUP, who entered the round in sixth place. The team had endured multiple losses and frequent challenges from rival crews, painting them as the “easy target” of the competition.
BUMSUP Scores Redemption Against AG Squad
“All I thought was, we need to win this battle no matter what,” said Lip J, capturing the intensity of their situation.
Their final opponent was none other than AG Squad of Team Australia — the very team that had previously dismissed BUMSUP as weak. Their overconfidence ignited a fire within the Korean crew. Honey J didn’t hold back: “You picked the wrong fight. You underestimated us.”
The showdown was electric. Standout performers Aiki and Hyojin Choi stunned with their polished choreography and unbreakable synergy, wowing both the audience and the judges.
In the end, BUMSUP triumphed with a clean 1–0 win, sweeping the judges’ votes. It was a moment of sweet revenge that left viewers cheering.

But despite the thrilling victory, BUMSUP’s earlier defeats had already sealed their fate. The team concluded the Battle round in sixth place, the lowest ranking among all participating crews.
Aiki became emotional as she reflected on the experience, “My crew members are not people who deserve to be looked down on. But they kept targeting us so harshly, and I felt like it was because of me. That’s why I was so desperate to win my solo battle — but I lost.”
Fellow dancer Rihey responded, “It made me so angry. It felt like they were disrespecting everything this unnie [Aiki] has built.” Gabee, moved to tears, said, “Because I know how much this is hurting her, it hurts me too.” Aiki, fighting back tears herself, added, “I felt so sorry. I started to crumble from that point on.”
Even so, their final performance showed grit, heart, and undeniable talent — a reminder that BUMSUP is far from out of the game.
