South Korea
B-boying was first introduced to
South Korea
by American soldiers shortly after its surge of popularity in the U.S.
during the 1980s, but it was not until the late 1990s that the culture
and dance really took hold.
[28] 1997 is known as the "Year Zero of Korean breaking".
[18] A
Korean-American hip hop promoter named John Jay Chon was visiting his family in Seoul and while he was there, he met a crew named
Expression Crew
in a club. He gave them a VHS of a Los Angeles b-boying competition
called Radiotron. A year later when he returned, Chon found that his
video and others like his had been copied and dubbed numerous times, and
were feeding an ever-growing b-boy community.
