Introduction

Synopsis

Gorilla Crew's dancers are positive and passionate about dancing, but they struggle with the harsh realities of being performers. The group's leader, Hochan, is pursuing his dream but struggling to make ends meet. Team member Donghui tries to improve conditions, without much luck.

One day, Seongtaek, a rival B-boy and the son of the owner of a financial company, begins buying buildings in the Hongdae district of Seoul. He tries to evict Gorilla Crew, who is struggling to pay their rent for a cheap underground dance studio in one of the buildings.

Faced with the possibility of eviction, Hochan is caught in a real dilemma. Can Gorilla Crew show the best performance and solve their financial problems by winning the championship at the competition “Kung”?
