Host Bella wanted to know when the five members first began dancing together, and leader Kirsten shocked her when she admitted they had only met on the first day of filming for Street Woman Fighter 2.
I’m not sure if people do know, but slowly are learning that we actually met each other on the first day of filming… Some of us knew of each other, but it was kind of the first time that we had met each other.
— Kirsten
Kirsten explained that the members were placed in a room and told, “Hey, you’re in a group now. Welcome to the show.”

Fans shared their surprised reactions to the revelation.
