Kim Hong-Yul (born 1984), better known by his stage name Hong 10, is a Korean b-boy. He is part of the Korean crew Flow Xl (formally known as Drifterz), 7Commandoz worldwide and represents the Red Bull BC One All Stars. Biography Name The name Hong10 comes from using a Korean language homonym and an English language pun. The second syllable of his name, Yul (but the name had been misspelled as 'Yeol') , has the same pronunciation as the Korean pronunciation for the number ten. Therefore, pronouncing the phrase Hong10 in Korean will be the same pronunciation as his real name, Hong-Yul. However, this nickname is always pronounced in English, so he is referred to as hongten regardless of the language context - whether Korean or English or otherwise. Crew Hong10 was in the crew Expression (with which he won the Battle of the Year title in 2002) and is currently in a crew called Drifterz and a project team named Project Soul and Project Korea while he also performs as a solo dancer.
