Hong 10 (Korean : 김홍열 ; born 1984), better known by his stage name Hong 10 , is a South Korean b-boy. He is part of the Korean crew Flow XL (formally known as Drifterz), 7Commandoz worldwide and represents the Red Bull BC One All Stars.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Biography
Name
The name Hong10 comes from using a Korean language homonym and an English language pun . The second syllable of his name, Yul (but the name had been misspelled as 'Yeol') , has the same pronunciation as the Korean pronunciation for the number ten . Therefore, pronouncing the phrase Hong10 in Korean will be the same pronunciation as his real name, Hong-Yul. However, this nickname is always pronounced in English, so he is referred to as hongten regardless of the language context - whether Korean or English or otherwise.

Recently he and his good friend Bboy Differ founded a crew called 7Commandoz with the world-renowned bboys Ronnie, Differ, Skim, Wing, Dyzee and Phil Wizard. Its former member, Bboy Menno, left the crew. The crew members are known for their originality and futuristic style.
Hong10 is one of Red Bull All Stars since 2010.[ 4]
Hong10 had represented Jinjo Crew with fellow 7Commandoz members [ 5] UK B-Boy Championships 2009, Battle of the Year (2010, 2018), and R-16 Korea in both 2011 and 2012. Hong10 and Jinjo members are very close. They share the same studio and he takes a part in performance with Jinjo but Hong10 is not the member of Jinjo . [ 6]
Moves
Some of his signature moves include the spinning airchair, switching halos, handcuff mills to headspin drills, chair flares, and his signature freeze the Hong10 Freeze [ 7] The king of Halo freeze [ 8]
History
He first became a well-known bboy during 2002 when he exploded onto the scene being part of the Korean crews that won the then two most prestigious dance competitions in the world - Battle of the Year International and the UK B-Boy Championships . He has also done well in many individual competitions, as a red bull BC one all star winning in 2006, São Paulo Brazil and took the title in 2013 in his hometown, Seoul (South Korea).[ 9] [ 10] [ 11] [ 12] [ 13]
