KYOKA of OSAKA OJO GANG:

The Japanese Dancer Creating a Wave of Korean Fans on Street Woman Fighter 3

Words by Jeong-Yoon Lee

Not just anyone becomes the subject of a full-blown fan obsession. There’s a checklist—skills, charisma, visuals, uniqueness—and KYOKA of OSAKA OJO GANG, currently competing on Street Woman Fighter 3, checks every single box. After the premiere episode, it became clear: a fandom boom was underway in Korea. And rightly so—KYOKA isn’t new to the dance scene. Her long-standing presence means there’s already a massive archive of her past performances. As fans uncover more, the “jujeop” (adorably exaggerated fan comments) are flooding in—and honestly, reading them is half the fun.

What makes a good fandom? A subject worthy of the hype. And KYOKA is not just a visually compelling performer; she’s a world-class dancer, a stunning androgynous beauty, and has an unexpectedly cute personality that balances out her fierce energy. She’s a fan goldmine, basically.

Why KYOKA Is Becoming the Ultimate Bias

Let’s break down the three core reasons I—and apparently half of Korea—have fallen hard for KYOKA:

① Dance Skills:

World-Class, High-Class, Untouchable

Even without understanding dance terminology, anyone can recognize that KYOKA’s moves are next-level. According to dance icon Jay Black, she’s “high-class even among world-class dancers”—a statement that doesn’t require much explanation once you see her perform. Her deep and broad dance experience speaks for itself. She’s the kind of dancer who doesn’t just perform moves—she embodies them. There’s a reason superhero characters resonate with us: we’re drawn to power and purpose, and KYOKA exudes both.

② Visuals:

Strikingly Beautiful, Undeniably Cool

There’s something unreal about her look. Bold lip colors? They don’t clash—they elevate. Unique styling choices that could easily fall flat on someone else—makeup, hair, accessories, even tattoos (or the lack thereof)—all seem perfectly natural on her. Her bone structure, facial features, and proportions are modelesque, yet entirely her own. She’s not just pretty or cool—she’s magnetic. A mole beneath her lip only adds to the charm, and her overall aesthetic balances between “model student” and “hip-hop queen” with grace.

③ That Unexpected Cuteness

It’s a classic twist: the fierce, untouchable dancer who becomes the softest kitten when she smiles. And KYOKA’s smile is truly disarming. It’s the kind of cuteness that sneaks up on you and then refuses to let go. Her TikTok and Instagram are filled with those tiny moments that reveal a softer side, and when fans compile those clips into edits? You’re done for. Good luck crawling out of that rabbit hole.

This Isn’t Just a Phase—It’s Peak Fangirl Joy

I never planned to watch Street Woman Fighter 3 live every week. But here I am, setting alarms, following spoiler-averse routines, and checking KYOKA’s Instagram follower count daily. The content flood has already begun, and every outlet seems to sense what we all do—she’s got it. I even found myself back on Instagram just to catch more of her updates. That’s the power of a truly magnetic performer.

I originally thought I’d binge-watch the show once episodes piled up, but with how fast spoilers spread on YouTube and social media, that’s a risky move. Besides, with someone like KYOKA on screen, half the fun is watching in real time and participating in the fandom energy. That means weekly viewings, live reactions, and yes—leaving a jujeop comment or two of my own.

Honestly? I didn’t expect to be this deep into a fangirl spiral. But with so much content, so many fan edits, and this perfect trifecta of skill, style, and softness, I’m not complaining. In fact, I’d say I’m currently living my happiest fangirl life.

Dear Mnet: Let Korea See More KYOKA

She’s made a massive impact already. Please, Mnet—take note of the overwhelming Korean fan love. Give KYOKA the screen time she deserves. Let us see more of her. And maybe… just maybe… lift the TiViNG screenshot restriction? Fans want to celebrate her properly!

Now excuse me—I’ve got KYOKA’s follower count to refresh.
