Jinjo Crew Selected as 2026 Crew Awards Inductee into New York's 'Breaking Hall of Fame'
Hall of Fame event led by first-generation breaking pioneers… spotlighting the team's 25 years of activity and cultural contributions
South Korean breaking crew JINJO CREW has been selected as the winner of the Crew Awards at the '2026 Breaking Hall of Fame' held in New York, USA.
The awards ceremony will be held on November 15 at the Robert Frederick Smith Center for the Performing Arts Theater in Riverbank State Park, New York, USA.
Now in its 6th edition, the 'Breaking Hall of Fame' is an event led by first-generation breaking pioneers Dancin’ Doug and the 1st Generation BBoyz. It was established to honor the achievements of pioneers who contributed to the formation and development of breaking culture, and to highlight the footprints of dancers and crews who have been active for a long time.
Alongside JINJO CREW, Wolverhampton Bboys from the UK, and Style Elements, Hot Feet Rockers, and Furious Rockers from the US were also selected for this year's Crew Awards.
In particular, this recognition is deeply meaningful for JINJO CREW as the team's long-standing activities and achievements have been acknowledged in New York, the historic epicenter of breaking culture. Rather than being based on the results of a single competition, it spotlights their sustained activities as a unified team over a long period and their contributions to breaking culture.
Along with this award, JINJO CREW's name will also be featured in the Hip Hop Museum being established in the Bronx, New York. Specific details regarding the documentation and exhibition format will be confirmed at a later date.
Kim Heon-jun, CEO of JINJO CREW, expressed that this selection is meaningful because the team's activities have been recognized by pioneers who paved the way for breaking. In particular, he showed great pride in seeing 'SOUTH KOREA' displayed alongside JINJO CREW's name on the honorees list.
He further expressed his gratitude to the members who have stayed together for a long time, as well as to senior and junior dancers who have contributed to the development of Korean breaking, and affirmed his determination to continue JINJO CREW's unique dance and challenges moving forward.
This Crew Awards selection is expected to serve as a new milestone for JINJO CREW—which has been active on domestic and international stages for 25 years since its founding in 2001—as its history and value are recognized in New York, the birthplace of breaking.
