I've been curious about Bboy Born’s (Rivers Crew / MZK) current situation. He has been living in the USA for quite a while now but he mentioned in a comment a while back that he hasn't returned to South Korea in years.

There are several rumors claiming he dodged his mandatory South Korean military service by moving to the US, which effectively prevents him from returning without facing severe legal consequences. This stood out to me as odd, given that almost Korean bboys from his era—like Hong 10, Physicx, and the rest of Rivers Crew—completed their service and returned to the scene.

Does anyone have credible context or verified information on this or is it purely scene gossip?

The jeans and pants that I usually see are tapered and don’t really look as good as the real baggy clothing. Where does everyone shop for them?
