Recent updates regarding Street Woman Fighter 2 and the show's history
Mnet's debut season of Street Woman Fighter (a.k.a SWF) was screened on August 24, 2021. It has, since then, evolved into a series focusing on bringing forth K-dance or street dance popular in the country through eight (so far) groups of women competing against each other. On June 22, Kang Daniel has been confirmed by Mnet to host the second season, Street Woman Fighter 2, after being an MC in the show for three consecutive years during, Street Woman Fighter (2021), Street Dance Girls Fighter (2021-2022), and Street Man Fighter (2022).
Moreover, the addition of MONSTA X's Shownu as a judge in the upcoming season has also been welcome news to fans of the show. Shownu is Monsta X's main dancer and his impeccable performing skills have gained him praise on national and international levels. He also judged Mnet's CAP-TEEN (2020-2021), a teen trainees reality survival show. The production will probably reveal more judges ahead of its release.
Mnet's Street Woman Fighter saw the team HolyBang emerge as the victor in its first season. The first airing saw BoA, NCT's Taeyong, and Black Beat's Hwang Sang-hoon as judges. Audiences saw Super Junior's Eunhyuk and 2PM's Wooyoung as the judges for the all-male version of the show, Street Man Fighter. The show also had a teen spin-off, titled Street Dance Girls Fighter.
Meanwhile, Street Woman Fighter 2's premiere is slated to release on August 22, 2023, KST.
