Going into its fifth year, R-16 B-Boy World Championship is considered one of the top five most revered b-boy tournaments in the world. Featuring b-boys from different parts of the globe carefully selected through regional preliminaries, and international rankings, it’s a World Cup for b-boys designed to determine the best of the best.
More than 200 b-boys from 16 different nations will participate at this year’s R-16 Korea. Due to the event’s positive feedback from previous years, international preliminaries were held from April 1st to the end of June in nine different countries including Japan, China, Russia, Vietnam and Kazakhstan.
While participants from Korea were determined in a regional competition on June 4th, European and American contestants were invited by their standings in world rankings, and will contend with international preliminary winners to compete in the finals.
The first day (July 2nd) will feature solo competitions of poppers, lockers, and b-boys, along with a guest showcase by former-2PM-leader Jay Park and his b-boy crew Art of Movement.
On the second day (July 3rd) the official b-boy group competitions kick off, followed by a special performance by the official spokesperson of R-16, hip-hop artist Tiger JK, singer/songwriter Yoonmirae, and their project group Sunzoo.
