This show was not in Seoul this year instead it was in another city north of Seoul named "Uijeongbu". the show was really awesome as usual. More interesting thing was that this show was not just B-Boy battle show, in fact this competition has three categories; popping, locking and crew battle.
Here is the MC for the R16 show, i am watching him for consecutive 3 years ^^).
POPPING:
In the picture below you can see three judges for the popping category and all of them performed before sitting there on stage. It was actually knock out competition. two competitors came on stage and performed two times before judges raise their hands for the qualifier. This year girls also participated in the popping category.
LOCKING:
Yup, these three are locking judges. of course they also showed their skills before other competitors. same rule were for locking as for popping. In this category girls were dominated and final was also between two girls. they really made good performance.
CREW BATTLE:
This was my favorite part of the show, many teams prepared themselves for the R16. Few of them had performed in 3:3 freestyle competition at KTO headquarter. Rules for this category were very strict like, originality, execution, battle, dynamics (i forgot the 5th). My favorite team was "Morning of the owl" and they won the crew battle. Pocket was always their master card which they used at the end to put fire on the stage. haha. "Pocket" has shown enormous energy and made audience really happy.
WINNERS:
Well, here are the winners for all three categories, I forgot the name of the guy winner of popping. Luna was the winner for locking solo and morning of the owl was the winner for crew battle.
