Stepping out of the border, the contestants of Mnet’s Dancing 9 flew over to Los Angeles to continue their challenge to be the next big dancer.
For the first time ever for a Korean audition program, Dancing 9 held a preliminary round in Los Angeles. For the first week of July, contestants and nine dance masters, including Shinhwa’s Lee Min Woo and SNSD’s Hyoyeon and Yuri, headed to Los Angeles to continue the audition.
Dancing 9’s CP, Kim Yong Bum stated that the reason why there will be a warm-up match overseas is to allow the contestants to meet with world renowned dancers on a bigger stage. “It was specially planned out so that they can carry on their dreams.”
CP Kim Yong Bum continued, “We also wanted to show that Korean dancers are talented enough to stand aside world renowned dancers, and to show that these skills were what allowed K-pop to spread worldwide.”
Contestants have gone through the rounds of applications, open auditions, draft into teams, and rigorous training. The preliminary round in Los Angeles will decided who will get to stand on stage during live broadcasts.
Dancing 9 will officially broadcast on television on July 20.
