The concept of RESPECT is the everlasting theme of this massive four-day event. Over 300 artists, musicians, grassroots-content creators, promoters, producers, urban enthusiasts, hip-hop heads and b-boys from around the world convene in Korea, in an attempt to provide the proper inspiration necessary to push the movement forward. What started out as a world-championship-level b-boy tournament has now evolved into a massive annual festival, which seeks to encompass all aspects of urban youth cultures, as the festival draws visitors and spectators not only from Korea, but also from different regions of Asia and the world.
In 2007, the R16 World B-Boy Championships & Urban Arts Festival was launched as a means of answering a single, burning question: With the support of the government and nation, can grassroots, youth-based cultures like hip-hop and b-boying become profitable, self-sustaining industries? Can these underground movements embed themselves and maintain relevance in society and the mainstream media in Korea and throughout the world?
Through the generous support of the Korea Tourism Organization, the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the city of Incheon, this year's world-class festival will celebrate and demonstrate the power of youth and the positive possibilities a gathering of this nature can create.
More than anything, this event is a testament to the notion that through dedication and passion, anything is possible. Despite all the conflicts and prejudices that exist in our world, we can still overcome our differences and unite as a group through dance.

Korea, USA, Japan, France, Netherlands, Brazil, Venezuela, Russia is my top 8 in my opinion

[@Bboyflem]

The Russian Team is seiously hot as hell

[@Luciole151]

The headline feels quite weird when you find out that Kazakhstan and Australia are represented. I mean no offense but there are countries with more crews and bboys like Japan, France or others.

[@leechpowerloud3719]

top 8 my ass! honestly, I like all the countries but Kz, China, and Australia wouldn't be there if they were REALLY choosing the top 8. Japan, France, and either Venezuela or Brazil . I wouldn't have minded if Morocco been there either. Like I said earlier, KZ, China, and Australia are countries I'm very fund of, just not top 8 material yet. It's not gonna be long though
