Recently, Mnet shared a preview of their upcoming all-girl dance survival show, "Street Woman Fighter," on their official Youtube channel. In the two-minute and 24-second preview, the competition can already be seen being fierce as the dancers go head-to-head with one another to come out at the top.

In the preview, there was also a scene in which Lee Chaeyeon can be seen wearing numerous stickers that say, "No respect." Fans have guessed that the contestants had to choose which dancer they respect the most and that Lee Chaeyeon was the least respected among them.
In addition, there seems to be discrimination amongst the dancers as well. The contestants of the show are mainly professional dancers who built a career out of dancing, which led them to discriminate against Lee Chaeyeon, who they described as an "idol dancer" and believe that their "purpose of dancing is very different" from that of a professional dancer.
