Ibuki has been promoting Ojo Gang non stop with her tiktoks, youtube videos she subbed, dancing her hardest through a major shoulder dislocation and that's one of the major reasons they have such a strong fanbase. All of their hardwork 💚
If you didn't know already, Rie Hata is a single mother who ends up raising her kids by herself after divorce. Considering Japanese society, she is considered to be very marginalized. She's running her dance studio, cafe and works as a choreographer to support her family.
Rie basically said "I understand the language barrier was HARD for Honey J and I knew she really tried her best. Unfortunately, I wished she showed more power in her moves because I think she has it, its just that it seemed difficult for her at that time."
Even Rie Hata herself admitted she took an L.... (the actual translation is: I'm no good at all as a 'real'(freestyle) ).... judges..... this is so frustrating as I support them both 😢

Wolflo, Most of B2B who are battlers struggled so much in making choreography yet they made their own with the help of other choreographers. Sure they got help from fellow dancers, but they have TRIED to make their original work. Perhaps RF could have asked for input instead.
now i wanna see you making a choreo in one night with no coreo experience, what did you expect they are trying them best, now mind you they are still students outside the show
Honey J hated being humiliated by Mnet and literally said ON AIR that Mnet likes to make us dancers look dumb. Kyoka and Ibuki both protested and shaded Mnet. Literally our only enemy is Mnet. Stop attacking other girls esp on their social media. #WSWF
Kyoka and Ibuki said judges should be more accountable when they pass judgment. They are right. When it's not properly done, the dancer who the people think robbed the win will get unfairly attacked and assumed they are bad dancers when they're not. #WSWF
Kyoka is so much bigger than Mnet, her influence is WORLDWIDE and reaches far underground. She's an official Redbull dancer before RBDYS is even a thing, official model for NIKE and G-Shock. The streets has heard of her name at least once if you delve into street battles.
Ofc Rie would post about her kids so often, she ended up raising them herself in the end. Half-Japanese already faces tons of discrimination. Single mothers are also a marginalized category. It must be extremely hard for her.
