To those who did not know this fact, the Koreans only started participating in the IBE in 2005. Thats right, they may have storm their way in to the bboying scene in 2002 but it wasnt till 3 years later where IBE became a regular event for them. This was one of those moments in 2005 when Project Soul battled the roots of bboying, the roots of hiphop, where it all began, the U, S of A. To some of us, this was the moment of truth, the moment where we would find out whether our existence was worth it and to some others it was the moment where we find ourselves wondering how do we battle those we look up to, idolise and respect? A battle between the master and the student? This was most certainly a moment worth remembering in the history of Korean bboying. Below is the list of bboys that battled in 2005 IBE Korea vs USA (credit to iHATEracist)
