Korea's top b-boys will present their dynamic moves at the Fever Seoul Live at Ax-Korea, eastern Seoul, at 7 p.m. on Dec. 21.
The performers include six internationally renowned Korean b-boys — Bruce Lee from Gamblerz Crew, Rookie from Drifterz Crew, Skim and Vero from Jinjo Crew, Pocket from Morning of Owl and Jay Park, also known as Jay Park, from Art of Movement.
After their performance, 25 break dancers will present a Seoul-themed musical "B-Boy Battle". Korean-American singer-songwriter David Choi and rapper Dumbfounded will also participate.
The 90-minute show will be broadcast live across the world through a Facebook channel, www.facebook.com/hiseoul. The performance, a making of film and some music videos will also be available on www.youtube.com/seouldreamseries from January.
Ahead of the show, the city government opened an online b-boy battle on Youtube in September.
More than 400 b-boys posted video clips showing their moves, garnering over 1.5 million hits. Six foreign b-boys among them came to Korea last month and held a break dancing battle with the six Korean boys at Gwanghwamun Square.
"We will promote b-boy performances as one of Seoul's cultural attractions", a city official said.
