I added this because I wanted to show the perspective of b-girls as well. I know b-boying is very popular in South Korea and I wrote posts in the past here and also elsewhere on the blog. But there are b-girls who are also a part of this industry too.
Also, b-girls faced and still face some stigma today, as b-boying is still considered a largely male-dominated dance. Why is that? Is it because of the power associated with b-boying? There are some moves, like tutting, that don't require physical strength, but then again, overall, b-boying does require strength when you freeze or hold positions. Also b-boying in general is not looked upon as a sophisticated art form and though it is popular, because there is commonly more b-boying performances on the streets than say, is there an expectation of seeing it for free?
