B-Boy Wing from Korea prevailed over 15 competitors to win the 2008 Red Bull BC One breakdance championships. Battling the best B-Boys from around the world in the new cultural center of Paris, the 104, Wing used a combination of stylish acrobatics and highly technical moves to defeat the favored Taisuke from Japan.

Ronnie, the 2007 champion from the US, failed to meet expectations when he was defeated by the newcomer Kolobok from the Ukraine in the second round. Wing quickly wowed the audience with his lightening style and dazzling combinations. In the first round, he defeated South African B-Boy Benny, in the quarter finals French B-Boy Mounir with 4 votes against 1.

Then in the hotly contested semi-finals, Wing showed the Ukrainian B-Boy Kolobok that he still had moves up his sleeve by throwing some complex combinations on the musical beats of DJ Tee. US Judge Ivan declared, “Throughout the whole competition, Wing showed a variety of creative moves while following the beat and keeping the battle interesting. Wing has a proud attitude in his battles.“ According to judge Lilou, the 2005 champion from France, “You could see the determination in Wing’s eyes.“ He continued, “Being a judge at the event and sitting on the sidelines triggers great motivation to participate in next year’s Red Bull BC One and become the first judge ever to come back win. I am not ready to retire yet!“
