Royal Family faces backlash for alleged choreography plagiarism on World Street Woman Fighter
Royal Family is at the center of controversy after netizens accused them of copying choreography on World Street Woman Fighter.
The drama started when fans noticed their dance routine for the "middle class" challenge resembled choreography by Parris Goebel. This sparked investigations revealing multiple instances where Royal Family’s moves matched past Parris Goebel dances nearly identically.
One Twitter user shared side-by-side clips, highlighting the uncanny similarities. More posts followed, showing that the copied moves came from various Parris Goebel routines, not just one.
The controversy quickly gained traction. Netizens slammed Royal Family for “cheating” and being disrespectful to other teams who worked hard creating original choreography.
“almost no changes if not for the intro and the outro. this is straight cheating but WHY?… another recycled routine when they could and SHOULD do better” – Manu for wswf
“Im so pissed. This is so disrespectful to the other choreographers that stayed up for hours working on NEW choreo for this challenge” – Lyndorchocolate
“Officially, all of their choreos from every mission are from Parris choreo… it’s all recycled. And I find it super unfair for all crews who created their choreos from scratch.” – zelle
Other fans pointed out how unfair it was for the street dancers putting in effort under tough conditions to see a team reuse old material instead of innovating.
“This is just disrespectful to the other people that choreographed from scratch by listening, feeling and understanding the given song… No effort at all” – 甄珮君 ||
As the backlash grows, many are watching to see how World Street Woman Fighter producers and Royal Family respond. For now, the team faces serious heat for what fans call recycled routines and “cheating” on a show that emphasizes originality.
