Watch: Mnet's New Dance Competition "Stage Fighter" Confirms Kang Daniel As Host + Unveils Intense Main Teaser

Mnet’s newest dance competition show “Stage Fighter” has unveiled its exciting main teaser!

“Stage Fighter” is a survival program where 64 top male dancers from ballet, contemporary dance, and Korean traditional dance compete against each other in a high-stakes class battle.

The newly released poster introduces Kang Daniel as the show’s host, showcasing him in various poses inspired by the three dance genres, highlighting his deep expertise in Korean contemporary dance, a field he majored in high school.

The main trailer spotlights the “physical” prowess of the dancers, beginning with a striking sequence where they display their impressive physiques. The trailer underscores the crucial role of physicality in dance, with dancers asserting its importance on stage: “Physical attributes are absolutely crucial in contemporary dance,” “If your physical is good, even a simple arm movement can make you No. 1,” “Without good physicality, you can’t be the lead dancer,” and “Contemporary dance is an extremely unfair art.”

Additionally, the trailer reveals the three competing dance genres: Korean traditional dance with its refined elegance, contemporary dance with its raw movements, and ballet with its regal grace.

The competition will also feature auditions and class battles to determine who will earn a spot in the prestigious “First Class.” With roles such as lead, supporting, and ensemble decided by audition outcomes, the fierce rivalry between dancers aiming to rise and those striving to remain will provide gripping entertainment for viewers.

Watch the teaser below:

“Stage Fighter” will premiere on September 24 at 10 p.m. KST.
