Expression Crew Facts:
In 1992, a team called Lee Woo-sung and Turntables was formed and went on to win three consecutive championships in the Kkurugi Contest, a segment of the early SBS entertainment program “Kkurugi Parade”. The crew Leader Woosung began his b-boying journey in 1994 and renamed the team Expression Crew in 1997, focusing on b-boying crew activities.
In 2002, his crew became the first Asian team to win the Battle of the Year (BOTY), also known as the B-Boy World Cup. This victory was a significant achievement, demonstrating that a small country in East Asia could compete on a global stage.
They are also credited with teaching b-boying to Kpop singer Jay Park when he first came to Korea and is considered the mother crew of many currently active b-boying crews, such as Busan Expression, key members of Drifterz Crew, FLOWXL Crew, One Way Crew, and Maximum Crew.
The crew is renowned worldwide for their Marionette performance created in 2005. The performance is set primarily to the music of French musician Yann Tiersen and features the crew wearing carnival-style masks. People criticized them first by calling them an amusement park performance team. However, they performed it at the Bboy Unit where the bboys appreciated them by giving them a round of applause.

Bboy T joined the Expression Crew in 2002 when Bboy Woosung invited him after he went to one of their hosted parties and did a 3v3 battle with Bboy Rookie and Bboy Gonzo. He later on left it to join the Drifterz Crew.
He started dancing when he was in elementary school where he would dance to K-pop songs with his friends. He first saw breaking at the Shinchon subway station and was immediately amazed by the ‘Thomas Flare’ and ‘Windmill’ moves. His stage name “T” came through because he used to do a freeze in the shape of the alphabet “T”. Moreover, he doesn’t like freezes and hardly does them and prefers top rock, power moves, and up rock.
Currently, he is not representing any crew and started a new genre “Double Dutch” where you jump ropes with two ropes and in between the two ropes, you can dance in almost every genre such as Bboy, HipHop, Rocking, Popping, House etc. His team is the only team in Korea doing double dutch along with Bboy Jerry.
