Here is what Darkness said in an interview to give you an idea:
Quote:
How is it like to make a living off from breaking? You guys are in several commercials on TV and you’ve tons of shows in Korea. What is your life looking like besides the competitions?
It's ok. We survive with breaking. We put all our best efforts into it. We practice 5 hours a day just to survive by breaking. And we practice 300 days out of 365 days a year. We can't practice during the 65 days because of vacation and international schedule. We're somehow surviving through bboying school and the shopping mall. but the future isn't guranteed at all. We just wanna engage in the bboying business for the future to create strong footstool for future bboys in Korea and we are currently breaking our asses off and trying to get into bboying related businesses.
Gambler crew has their own Bboy school, their own event called “Match one’s skills” as well as their own Shopping Mall in Korea. So you’re already on a very high business level. How did you achieved all that? Can you tell us a little bit about your school, your event and some of the projects you’re involved in?
To be honest, it's only possible for most of the Bboys when you have a part time job or another job besides bbyoing. Most of Bboys are living that way.
But my opinion is a different one. I am a Bboy and when I gonna have to earn money to survive, i'd rather get a job where i can do both, dance and survive. To do that, I had to convince the whole crew members and risk everything. The results are the ones you call, Gamblerz bboying school, Gamblerz shopping mall, and Match One's Skill. These are not completed yet but they can give us some idea what direction the Gamblerz need to go at least.
