W2D:The youngest dancer in the 3D dance movie 'Street Dance,' George Samson, has challenged former 2PM member Park Jaebeom to a dance battle, gathering attention.
English George Samson, who is interested in the top b-boy culture of Korea, is a fan of Korean b-boy Pocket (Kim Ki Ju, 14 years old), a b-boy who is much younger than he.
George Samson came to Korea and heard of Park Jaebeom's dancing skills, and said in stuttering Korea, "Jaebeom-hyung, let's meet soon," humorously inviting Jaebeom to a dance battle.
George Samson said he would like to become friends with Korean b-boys, including Jaebeom, in the future, and said he would like to gain experience in Korea's b-boy culture.
As soon as this video was released, it exploded across the internet and gathered the attention of netizens.
George Samson, also known as 'Genius Dancer,' won Britain's Got Talent in 2008 as a 14 year old, becoming the youngest winner of the program ever.
