Korean street dance makes a comeback at the Théâtre du Châtelet, with shows and battles.

After two inaugural editions in 2024 and 2025, Urban Pulse Uprising II is back at the Théâtre du Châtelet on Sunday, October 11, 2026! Organized by the Centre Culturel Coréen, to mark the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France, this evening dedicated to urban dance celebrates the artistic ties between the two countries, bringing together two crews from the hip‑hop scene: Wanted Posse, a major figure in French urban dance, and Just Jerk, one of the most recognized collectives on the Korean scene.

On the agenda, performances drawn from their own repertoires and a friendly battle bringing together top dancers, plus exceptional masterclasses, alongside the Korean crew. Wanted Posse, a true pioneer of French hip-hop, was founded in 1993 by Ahmada Bahassane, at the crossroads of hip-hop, house dance, and break. As for Just Jerk, he rose to international prominence thanks to his win at the Body Rock Dance Competition in 2016, his appearance on America’s Got Talent, and his victory on Street Man Fighter in 2022.

Chudahye Chagis at the Guimet Museum


If you want even more Korean culture, note that the Korean Cultural Center is offering a musical outing that breaks with the usual concert format. On Thursday, October 15, 2026, as part of its European tour, the group Chudahye Chagis will take over the Guimet Museum in Paris with a blend of Korean shamanic chants, rock, funk, punk and psychedelic influences. An evening to discover to explore Korean contemporary creation in a different light and its traditional roots.

With its bold reinterpretation of Korean heritage, the band roots itself in the present and brings ancient traditions to life. Information and reservations (from €7 to €16) on the Guimet Museum website: https://www.guimet.fr/fr/activites-visites/chudahye-chagis
