Selected members:
Jang Kyujin (first-year)

Persist is very old-school hip-hop based. Their members are trained more in foundational styles, e.g. Donghyun in waving, Riki in locking, Haerin in litefeet, and Sanghyuk in, well, everything. Their set takes inspiration from movies like Step Up and other classic dance movies, highlighting their grooves and explosive energy. Theme: you’re at a club with your dancer friends and they miraculously play some good music.
Reference: Tristan Edpao at The Get Down 7
Setlist:
Right Thurr - Chingy
The Way I Are - Timbaland, Keri Hilson, D.O.E.
