The show promises a thrilling journey as these dancers push their limits in a quest for supremacy.

The newly released teaser poster prominently features Kang Daniel, who will be hosting the show.

The poster captures him in dynamic poses inspired by the three dance genres, emphasizing his connection to the world of dance.

The main trailer for “Stage Fighter” is nothing short of captivating, spotlighting the dancers’ physical prowess and the critical role that physicality plays in their performances. The trailer opens with a powerful sequence where the dancers showcase their impressive physiques, underscoring the idea that physical attributes are essential in dance. The dancers themselves highlight this point with statements like, “Physical attributes are absolutely crucial in contemporary dance,” and “Without good physicality, you can’t be the lead dancer.”

The competition will feature three distinct dance genres: the refined elegance of Korean traditional dance, the raw expressiveness of contemporary dance, and the regal grace of ballet. Each genre brings its own unique challenges, and the dancers will face rigorous auditions and class battles to secure a coveted spot in the prestigious “First Class.”

As the dancers vie for roles ranging from lead to ensemble, the fierce rivalry and intense competition are sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. “Stage Fighter” is set to premiere on September 24 at 10 p.m. KST, promising an electrifying showcase of talent and determination.
